10-year results

I’ve been around this “hobby” for a while and started keeping a detailed list a few years back, figured maybe a few of you guys will get something out of this. The attractiveness here ranges anywhere from like 4 to 9. This pursuit can be a grind and my success rate among all the girls I’ve met is definitely somewhere under 10% but I’ve had a real adventure.

Basic info: 29M, US based, 6’3, white, conventionally attractive. Natural introvert/nerd, raised evangelical Christian, dumped religion at 20 and began figuring this stuff out through a lot of crazy experiences and research. Only counting actual sex, p in the v. 

The list. Format: How we met, where the 1st (or only) time was, when, my age at the time, hers, # of occasions, how much time it took.

I could talk a lot about this stuff but here are my top 5 current recommendations for any guy, based on the experiences I’ve had so far:

-Locate yourself in a city with at least 500,000 people. Even better if you live next to bars, coffee shops, and anywhere there’s people actually walking around.

-5 Principles of Natural Seduction course by James Marshall at TNL. Some of the challenges are tough but don’t chicken out!

-3 to 5 direct daytime interactions per session, 3-5x/week. Target, Barnes and Noble, and the grocery store work just fine. Go for the instant date if it makes sense! Otherwise:

-1x/week dates from the daytime approaches. My go-to is to find a taco truck or a pizza joint in a cool part of town. You WILL be able to score a date regularly if you’re doing 9-15 daytime interactions every week.

 -occasional nightgame at bars/clubs

 

Good luck dudes! Go be the guy your dad pretends he was in college. Probably don’t settle down in your 20s and definitely don’t be an incel or an average Tinder swipey boi. Don't let anyone tell you it's hopeless
