This week’s reflection
Apps
Starting to pick back up after the holidays. Will finally get an accurate gauge of the photos I took before winter.
Dates
Friday: Lay 17: Ad Girl: https://killyourinnerloser.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=48953#p48953
First lay from Fetlife. Going to keep testing out this avenue. She was a fun date and fun lay.
Have a few leads to try and setup this week.
Cold Approach
1/6 for approaches this week. I’m getting more confident and putting myself in different situations to get more experience. Going to try to keep up a steady pace of going out approaching. Still focused on just doing the approach and managing whatever anxiety comes up. However I think if I keep a steady habit of approaching I can return to Krauser’s Daygame Mastery and start to break down each portion of the approach to improve. Big win here is I’m actually starting to enjoy approaching.
365 Project
Going well and so grateful I started this. It’s helped me start approaching more, to be more confident in all areas of my life, and put myself first. Not even 30 days in yet. Looking forward to what else I accomplish with it.

Year 1 on KYIL Reflection
Happy New Year everyone! I can’t begin to express how grateful I am to have found this community. It’s helped me in numerous ways. I came into the year late in May, but hit the ground running with all this.
Let’s take a quick look at what I accomplished for dating:
- Got divorced and still kept a successful friendship with her after
- Devoured the tinder guide and got my first lay in 3 weeks after the separation from my ex
- Got 14 lays since the divorce; 1 being a multiple month FWB
- Improving and honing every part of the funnel from online to getting laid, particularly text game and the date
- Completed 14 days of the AA program before just jumping straight to approaches
- Roughly 50-60 approaches; 1 date from CA
- Really got back into photography after taking multiple rounds of photos for the apps
- Put together my erotic photography portfolio to show girls
- Dove deep into kink and BDSM
- Improving my sexual skills
- Started getting involved with the BDSM community, going to events and the sex club
- Met up in person with a few guys from the KYIL forums, connected with many others online
- Had a killer interview with Andy (and fan girled getting to meet him)
- Started my 365 project to hone my confidence, self-assurance, masculinity, and meeting my own needs
- And hopefully added a lot of value to you all where I was able to
Not bad for my rookie year.
Huge thank you to KillYourInnerLoser. I know you will be Mr. Humble, but I’m still always going to try to make you stop and reflect on the way you are changing lives. I know exactly what it feels like to doubt yourself, but please take a moment to see what you have built. You deserve every ounce of success you have achieved and every ounce that is still coming your way. It seems that every time I make a significant change to my life I find a mentor who aligns with the man I want to become. Thank you for being that mentor this year after my divorce. Truly grateful for you and try my best to add value to what you’ve built here as a small token of my appreciation. Keep crushing those goals Andy.
Now for the rest of you salty bastards.
Mimbe393939: Thank you for connecting with me early on. Felt like you were my fellow rookie this year on the come up. I always respect a man you can turn pain into triumph, making himself a better man in the process. Rooting for your success and can’t wait to see you slay in Japan.
Ed_: Thank you for meeting up with me in ATX and helping push me to overcome my AA and just start doing real approaches. Also appreciate you introducing me to other guys here and being very supportive. You’re a great guy and glad to have met you.
bonzo34: Thank you for going out approaching with in the beginning. Was great to have someone there to root me on between approaches. Keep getting out there man!
colgate: You are the light heartedness mixed with dedication that we all need on this forum. Thank you for giving me pointers about ATX and supporting. Really respect your continued dedication to overcoming your challenges. Also rooting for you to slay in Japan and get your cat girl harem.
Radical: Thank you for your fashion advice. I dressed pretty mediocre before, but you helped me streamline the basics and flesh out my architype. You also seem very dedicated to your goals and really happy seeing you put out your own product now. Wishing you major business success this year.
Manganiello: Thank you for your log and advice. So helpful for rookies coming in. Your process, photos, and tracking of stats really helped me get a process going for myself so I could objectively look at how I was progressing. I also really appreciated you reflecting on the process and sharing your mindset through that time. Showed me it was pretty normal to feel that way. You also seem like a very cool guy. Best of luck in Seoul!
twonightstander: Thanks for your support and your level of detail in doing approaches. You’re a machine. Was very inspirational and clued me into how I can improve my own. Keep kicking ass man.
SpicyBoi: Thank you for such an inspirational log. Your level of confidence and consistency in approaches is what I aim for. You have also been an inspiration for me to start traveling. Wishing you all the success in your travels.
MakingAComeback: The underdog hero of the forums. Seriously grateful to have you here. You are an inspiration to many of rookies who join these forums. Was fantastic to connect with you this year and look forward to doing it more in the future. I respect your dedication and fortitude.
MILFandCookies: Thank you for also being someone who inspired me to pick up the camera again. Your photo advice is always spot on. Was great meeting up in a person a couple times to get to know you. Also respect your ability to turn pain into triumph. You’re on a good path and here to help in your success along the way.
Crisis_Overcomer: Thank you for dropping into to screw my head on straight this year. Your advice and resources really helped with my mindset and working through my own bullshit. Very grateful.
pancakemouse: Thank you for advice and your amoral approach to game. You always ground me, looking at the laws of nature and facts of reality. Then I can paint whatever moral approach I may wish to take based on my values, but also reminding me not to totally disregard the dark triad traits I inherited from my family as they can be deadly useful in the right context. Also really appreciate you keeping such valuable information free for others to learn from. As someone building a higher education startup and believe information that can improve people’s life should be free, I highly respect you for this. I also imagine your city guides will be helpful as I travel. Wishing you much success on your journey to becoming a master.
Manly Cockfellow: Thank you for all your advice, for your inspiration, for helping me keep my head on straight, and for being a spring of positivity on this forum. You feel like the cool uncle to me who gets laid a ton and is always supportive. You’ve been a lot of help and very appreciative of you.
AskTheDom: As natedawg said, you feel like a big brother I never had. You don’t flaunt your success here, but I can tell by your advice that you have been through the trenches a hundred times over. Always appreciate the advice you give and try my hardest to heed it. Thank you for answering my questions this year, helping me flesh out my architype, helping me gain some confidence as a Dom, and being a huge support. Excited to see what you accomplish next in 2023.
Holden: Thank you for your continued advice and for your log. Your log is the only one I have read in entirety and will probably continue to revisit periodically. Your harem is an inspiration and model of what I’m aiming for in combination with Andy. You have solid, straightforward, actionable advice and have a really solid understanding of game, but don’t seem to get too bogged down by it. I also appreciate your approach to status hacking. As someone who started as a poor kid from the trailer park with zero network, I have hacked my way up the status hierarchy multiple times. I’d argue that landing my ex wife in the beginning was a combination of architype match, status hacking, and preselection. Thank you for indulging my questions when I have them. Very grateful and wishing you all the success in your business goals and harem shenanigans.
jmand: You just joined the forums, but you have been there on my journey over the last few years through all of it’s ups and downs. You probably know more about my life than any other person. I can’t begin to express the gratitude for our friendship. This year I want to thank you for checking in with me every week, supporting me when I doubted myself and celebrating with me when I succeeded. I’m glad I could also be an inspiration for you to go after what you want in your dating life and a spark for you to take action on your first threesome. Ready to kick it up a notch with you this year. By the way, because I know you well, Ill suggest a few people to study:
- KYIL & Holden for open relationships, harem management, threesomes
- Holden for social circles and status game
- KYIL, Manly Cockfellow & Spicyboi for architype matches and body composition
- Pancakemouse & Spicyboi for approaches
I think these will be most helpful for you based on your goals and architype. Love you, brother. Now get your ass in here and start a log, rookie.
Thank you guys. I’ll continue to post the action I’m taking every week towards my goals and asking questions along the way. I’m glad to be here and ready to put in the work for Year 2.
