Today was SO LONG!
We put hours and hours into shopping and nailing down outfits for Carl. I bought two bits - black Uniqlo tee with a V-Neck, and a cool graphic tee
Carl dropped about a grand on some really high end fashion, which looked unbelievable. The store some of the guys we know here like is called Ksubi, a few pairs of jeans, some outerwear, solid stack on just that.
We put together some really good looks, and I think Carl is gonna get some killer output.
For myself, I've got two looks that I think will be positive additions to my profile.
One, a more formal look. Black blazer, black tee, black trousers.
The printed graphic tee and probably black trousers again.
And then just a fuck boi type outfit of some sort.
Concepts wise:
-Public speaking / podcast type shot
-Group shot
-City shot
Shoot will be for 5-7 hours tomorrow!
Today, was a good day. I enjoyed being out with the boys and running around NYC. There are so many beautiful women in this city of all descriptions. A lot of Asian girls, which is new for me after 6 months in Latam. I find them pretty hot and I noticed plenty of them give me glances in the street. I've never had an Asian match on the apps, but I can definitely tell things changed this year and from the approaches I did, I do have some market with Asian women which I never had before in my life.
This is still going to be quite a journey for me. There is a lot to come in the next year years.
I did notice, as my energy and vibe got better the past few weeks, I began getting more attention just walking around the streets, and will get the occasional chick locking eyes. This, is cool, but ultimately meaningless. It's an ego validation thing for some of them I think, they want to see if you give them attention back.
One that that was cool, was when Carl was getting his clothes, a really gorgeous girl who worked in the store came up to me and we got into a good, solid 5 minute conversation. He introduced herself, did shake my hand, and was curious about me, my life, and asked me a bunch of questions. She chatted a fair bit and this is part of what happened with me when I changed more. Interactions which used to be just fleeting, actually became more substantive. You can tell when you've entered a slightly different reality. Women also do this with men like Dante. He'll be in a basic customer service interaction, but the chick will start asking him, so where ar you from, what do you do, etc. The women can't help it I suppose. I've had that happen to me, myself, several times now. I've been had two women ask me out on dates from these kind of interactions. Very cool.
The market is very weird today. Looks I believe are the most important thing in dating in 2024. I think, if you haven't maxxed your looks out, it's super hard to get any form of quality and retention. Before apps, women would value substance and character a lot more, less competition, and generally a more human experience. Their decision making is incredibly aesthetic based now, archetype based, and relationships are more fluid and fleeting. Sad. But it is the perspective of everyone who has truly done the work and lives in the real world. Note: Guys on Just Exist mode will always be fine and none of the subject matter explored in this log will affect these dudes. I steer clear of these people. I don't need that energy.
This is good news really, because my image is far from dialled in. BF% isn't low enough, not enough muscle mass, not enough edge and no archetype.
So, if I am getting some chicks stealing glances, I am getting laid fairly well, and I am far from the finished product, things should come together a lot at some point and start clicking.
Quality & Retention is the only worthwhile experience for me. I will crack that.
During my upcoming monk mode experience, I am focusing on getting lean. Muscle gain is so painfully slow it isn't even funny. I could train my ass off for years and probably barely look like I lift. Worked with a coach for like 9 months man and made progress but it didn't make any difference to my SMV at all. I actually think it made it worse. So, going the other way and getting lean now.
Plus, changing up the archetype a
tonne.
Full sleeves.
Pushing the image to break stereotypes.
Women judge men they see as Low SMV / Lower in desirability, very differently to men who have a pass from society. You have to do things to make yourself so polarising that they stop for a minute, and say, wait a minute......I think this one may be different......
That is where I need to get!
Approaching + The apps will eventually work for me. I don't think optionality and choice will ever be an option, because for that you need different chicks interested in you, which as a very niche product just isn't gonna happen.
But, we know this now as a community, and for that reason, it's good.
Back to it tomorrow.
