The Game

(Does anyone know the name of the store where they sell the New Rock boots?) Afterward, I’m going to shower up, hit Sunset, and cover four bars (Dublin’s, Miyagi’s, the Saddle Ranch, the Standard), making twelve to fifteen approaches in each. A hundred approaches should be no problem. Even if I crash and burn every time, at least I will conquer my fear of rejection.

    AUTHOR: Adonis

    Guys, this Saturday rocked. I got through 125 approaches. It was phenomenal. Before I left, I listened to Ross Jeffries’s Unstoppable Confidence tapes. They really help. I pictured myself forty feet tall and made of diamond, so no one could hurt me.
    The opinion opener I used was the RSD classic, “Who lies more, men or women?” At first, HBs gave me funny looks, like I was taking a survey. It really started clicking for me at the Saddle Ranch. I think I opened every woman there. One HB8 offered me an e-mail address, but I pushed for a number close and lost it completely. Fuck! Lesson learned. Afterward, I went to the Standard,and there were already two workshops there. Practically every set there had been approached already with the “who lies more” opener, so I started opening people in the street outside.
    I would recommend that anyone starting out go and do this. (But make sure you’ve broken in your New Rocks first, lol!) I have now decided to try to get 1,000 approaches under my belt before the end of the month. My opening game is going to be supertight, and I will no longer be resentful of women and fear their power to make me feel inadequate.

    SUBJECT: My Thousandth Approach
    AUTHOR: Adonis

    I have kept score of every approach I have done and, as promised, I just got through my thousandth approach—and still with four days left in the month!
    I can say after a thousand approaches, there are only so many ways to get rejected or ignored. It doesn’t hurt at all anymore because why should someone who’s a complete stranger have any control over your sense of selfworth?
    The other thing I learned is to challenge or intrigue HBs right away instead of trying to be logical or factual. I can stay in sets now for ten or fifteen minutes. I have been Stylemogging too, which was hard at first. But now I’m finding it easier to control a set, despite my size (I’m 5’4”). I am even isolating and doing the cube sometimes, and getting the odd phone number. I feel like I’ve become a new, more confident person, with no social fears. Before, I was so insecure and self-conscious that people avoided me; now when I walk down the street, I radiate. HBs can just sense it. I strongly recommend that everyone try this. It’s worth it.
    Next month, I’m going to master phone game—a thousand phone calls, lol. If I keep this up, I should be getting laid by the end of the year.

    SUBJECT: Are You A Social Robot?
    AUTHOR: Style

    Have you ever noticed that there’s something strange about a lot of guys in the community?
    It’s as if just by looking at them, you can tell that something is missing. They don’t seem entirely human.
    Some of these guys even do well in the field. They get great reactions—sometimes even numbers and lays—but they never seem to have a girlfriend.
    Are you one of these guys?
    To find out, ask yourself the following questions:
Do you panic if you run out of “material” during a conversation with a woman?
Do you think that everything a woman says to you that isn’t 100 percent positive is a “shit test”?
Do you see every other male who is interacting with a woman as an AMOG who must be destroyed?
Are you unable to discuss a woman without first asking, “What’s her rating?”
Do you call women in your life who you are not sleeping with “pivots” instead of friends?
If you are around a woman in a non-social setting, such as a business meeting or a nursing home, do you get a strange shot of adrenaline and feel obligated to sarge her?
Have you stopped seeing value in things that are not pickup related, such as books, movies, friends, family, work, school, food, and water?
Is your self-esteem constantly at the mercy of the reactions of women?
    Then you may be a social robot.
    Most of the sargers I know are social robots. This is especially true among those who found the community in their teens or early twenties. Because they haven’t had
