My transformation - 6 months after unplugging

PRELUDE

Before I found out about TRP, I remember laying in my bed and thinking
"is this it? I'm extremely unhappy with my life and I'm basically
waiting to die of old age and I'm 33! This shit isn't fixing itself
apparently, so I need to find out what I need to do!"

At that time I was completely lost in my life. I had exited from 5
years LTR about 2 years ago and had no goals or dreams where to go
with my life. I bought my first appartment which ties me up for
current location. I had a stable albeit bit boring job and had started
lifting shortly after breakup with LTR. I wanted to get stronger.
Stronglifts 5x5 worked nicely, but unfortunately I didn't care to put
effort to fix my diet.

My game was non-existent and my friends had adviced me to start using
Tinder. Tinder experience was horrible, but at the same time it was
eye-opening. My SMV was all-time low due to weight gained at the end
of the LTR. I ended up banging some random obese chick through Tinder
and hating myself shortly after.

I had been bit successful in banging chicks during the college years,
but I never quite realized how attraction really worked. I could not
cold approach sober even if my life depended on it. During college I
had a summer job that gave me easy access to 18-20 year olds to game
and ended up hooking up usually with one for the summer. Hooking up
with co-workers/customers was actually really easy for me, it was
pretty natural to start conversation and have little bit of flirting
in the mix.

I had been enjoying competition in sports when I was younger and had
the competitive drive in things I found myself passionate at. I had
learned pretty early on that there's always someone better than you
and mistakes happen a lot, just try to do your best at learning from
them. I knew I could do anything I wanted, it all just took commitment
of energy, discipline and sacrifice. The higher you want to go, the
more you need to sacrifice and exercise discipline. With sacrifice I
mean mostly time, time that is out from something else. You TRP folks
know already about the importance of time.

I had lost my ways after graduating from school and started working
full-time and compromising my life choices due to being bluepilled in
LTR and idiot. Getting overweight, losing self-respect and I was not
disciplined at all. Reason for my extreme unhappiness was not having
any self-respect. I was also not giving myself credit where credit was
due. I didn't have patience for myself although I am extremely patient
and stoic since I was born. I almost never lose my temper. I was
actually unhappy in the last year or two in the LTR due to not having
goals and hating myself in mirror. I just ate those lies "you are fine
as you are". Also I didn't know where to find proper information what
to do.

UNPLUGGING

After digesting TRP sidebar information, it all made sense. All those
subtle hints, non-verbals and intergender dynamics. The natural
attraction potential I once had which I could not explain or
understand. I had rebelled against my gut feeling so many times, due
to social programming. My life just got a meaning again.

I decided to fix my shit and become THE shit. Unleash my potential and
see how far I can go. I had seen and enjoyed lifting progress through
Stronglifts but suffered minor knee, shoulder and elbow injuries which
hindered my progress. I wanted to try something else and switched my
lifting routine to reverse pyramid program from Leangains. I also
started counting my calories and set my goal to lose weight to 75 kg
by the end of the year. I was 90 kg at the time. I bought a proper
scale that measures BF% just for fun progress tracking even if it's
not even remotely accurate.

I spent these months reading about body language, game, PUA tricks,
etc. on my spare time when I'm not at work or at the gym lifting.
Currently reading Rollo's and Roosh's books. I recommend them, but for
new unplugged I'd advice either read the books or their blogs. Maybe
books first and blogs for additional information on selected topics.
Information overlap is quite big so constant repetition can get boring
at times.

PRESENT

Weighted 79 kg this morning, well in range of weight loss progress
curve. Reached intermediate lifting goals for deadlift and squat
(bench press is lagging a bit) after two years of lifting. I love
taking off shirt in front of a mirror nowadays. My friends and family
have congratulated me for transformation. Learning more about game
every day. Did my first cold approaches daytime about a month ago and
that was eye opening experience.

Last week I went out clubbing on Friday and Saturday. Both night I was
opened by smoking hot blonds (HB8-9) at bar counter with intense eye
contact when I was going to get my first drink. Due to beginner level
game, I botched both situations but I didn't care too much. It feels
impossible that formerly completely INVISIBLE person (me) is getting
attention from the most gorgeous babes without me doing anything other
than keeping my body language open and being dominant with EC.
Competition is terrible here I suppose, heh.

While I still have a lot of work to do in all areas of my life, I'm
genuinely happy for the first time in my life. I know what to do now.
Next year I'm going to pack on more muscle and try to go for 15%ish
BF.

I went out last night to practice approaching and going clubbing
tonight. On Thursday. I'm already looking forward to it.

Thank you brothers for helping me to save my life!
