Seddit, how do lifestyle choices affect your game: meditation, marijuana, alcohol

I have significantly less approach anxiety when drunk, but my skills once I open are 0.

A small amount of alcohol (1 or 2 beers, glass of wine, or 1 shot) seems to be the best possible state for me to do pick-ups. Even a small amount of alcohol greatly reduces my approach anxiety, but its not enough to make me stupid. Also, a little bit of alcohol acts like a stimulant for me, and I become much more energetic and alert.

A lot of caffeine makes me really happy. Too happy. I'm so goddamn happy with myself that I lose interest in picking up girls. No caffeine.

The best way to affect state with substances? Mix 'em. For an average Friday or Saturday night party, I drink something with a lot of caffeine earlier in afternoon/early evening - expresso, a few cups of coffee, Monster energy drink. Then, I have a moderate amount of drink at the beginning of the party, and maybe another midway through.

My very best night since I've been doing pick-up (the only night so far I've had serious success and ended up making out with a chick back at her dorm) involved a FourLoko, several hits of weed, some whiskey, and some champagne. I was drunk, I was high, and I hated it the next morning, and my lungs still hurt. I was happier than I've ever been in my life, but I don't think its worth trying again. I may combine weed, alcohol, and caffeine again in more moderate amounts at some point in the future again and see if I can get some of the same results.

I suggest one beer per hour when picking up.

This keeps you from being nervous, but still light on your feet and fast for smarter girls.

I personally don't get the "red eyes" and shitty look that most people do when they're high/buzzed, but my roomate does badly. If he's had any smoke or drink, he looks hung over.

If you NEED smoke to go out, you need to reevaluate yourself. Smoke should be for chilling with friends and enhancing social circle bonding. It's not a crutch.

If you're really working on improving in a bar situation, I recommend just stay with one medium light beer per hour. Good luck. - S

I drink 1 craft beer a day, It's like I'm playing Pokemon with imports (gotta catch em' all), I have a beer belly now, even if I jog everyday, craft beers are extremely fat (I'm giving this as a warning to not do the same), I have shots when I'm super tired and I need to awaken myself. Casanova said women and alcohol don't mix together. but what I believe he meant by that is that drinking and women are completely 2 different things, and if you don't know how to behave when you're sober, you won't know better once you're drunk. Drinking is cool, just don't let it change who you are, and don't let it take over your health.

Weed messes up my game too. I have said some pretty stupid and weird things when I'm high. Once upon a time, it was a good thing to burn and party because it helps create a "don't give a fk" attitude. On the other hand, alcohol in moderation definitely loosens me up into a more social mood. I'm not good at remembering names etc. sober so I can't tell a difference. Having an impaired short term memory isn't that much of a drawback IMO because we all have short attention spans anyways and it might help keep the conversation fresh.

Meditation absolutely. Helps you cultivate a confident, proactive mind rather than a reactive one. Give you mental tricks to calm you down even in the most hectic of social situations. Teaching myself how to meditate (in a secular fashion) was a big part of stepping up my game (and my quality of life)

Weed. Good and bad things here. One one hand, it gives me the "fuckit" to be unattached from the resolution of an interaction, which can give me confidence. Secondly, it reminds me to slow down and enjoy foreplay. A super hot kiss is a few million times more awesome when I'm stoned.

On the other hand, marijuana is such an inwardly focused drug for most people you social calibration can be way off, but you think it is on because you have the "fuckit" in your system. This has resulted in my saying and texting incongruent shit. Secondly, I disagree with ryno. Having an impaired short term memory definitely kills your calibration, if not your game entirely. It's hard to responds to subtle and speedy social ques appropriately with a poor short term memory. Plus, it makes it difficult to remember people's names. Which is a shame, because using someone's name in an interaction (whether sarging or not) is one of the sociologically proven tricks to automatically build rapport and increase response and investment in the interaction with you and it's so fucking easy and even the most awkward AFC can get a more positive response this way.

Alcohol. Sure, just not to a ridiculous amount. I love good craft beer which usually runs from 6-12 percent per 12 oz, so a couple of good beers and I've got a perfect social buzz on that without any effects that might hinder my interactions with girls.

Weed always messes up my game. Makes it harder for me to come up with random topics/things to say. Memory usually isn't a huge problem. Also I hate making eye contact when I'm high because I'm always wondering if they know I'm high (which is bad when sarging at work)..

Alcohol I think actually helps my game. Makes me more talkative for sure. Also makes me kino and escalate faster, without thinking so much about the 'what-ifs'. Although too much alcohol can be a terrible thing, and can make yourself look like an ass. Everything in moderation.

Working out is actually the best thing for me when sarging. Gets the testosterone pumping, and makes me feel fucking sexy and invincible. That's why I try to lift weights before going to work. Once I get past the initial tired phase, I get more energy than caffeine has ever given me.

you all worry too much. seems like everyone in seddit has only one goal in life and all other aspects of life are seen only important based on how they related to this goal.
