Got up, myofunctional therapy.
Made breakfast, had a great debrief with The Dom. We had a great conversation about my negative self-talk and the importance of psychology for success. Effective immediately, I have a commitment to positive self talk, positive psychology, and also reading more about this subject and internalising it. The conversation was deep and felt like an important moment in my journey. I am eternally grateful. Nothing more will be said about this, me and The Dom know, this one is just between us.
Grabbed a coffee, went to the gym.
GREAT SESSION.
I am loving training here, this gym is great. Krakow is a lovely city man, and I like the cost of living, the facilities, the achitecture. You do need solid game and to be a rock solid guy here.
Did my training, came home, and went to cold approach. Was out for like 3/4hrs. Hung out with Timmy, Lord Rey, and a bit with Paw towards the end.
Warmup set: She darted away
1 Stopped, she insisted she was in a rush.
2 Stopped, didnt square off and distance was too close. I asked her age, too young (17), I ejected
3 She deflected right away
4 She had boyfriend, but this lady was actually nice. This has been the first approach where the lady was quite nice.
5 She had a husband
6 Stopped, really warm and receptive off the bat. We chat, she is asking questions, it hooks. She gets her phone out to show me her salt lamps. I touch her a little, work on smirk, vibe. Ask her what she's doing tonight, she says nothing. I say lets go for a drink, shes like SURE. Exchanged.
7 HARD deflection.
8 In a rush,
9 HARSH blowout, she was very pissed
10 Bad stop, too close, Goblin approach
11 Stopped, but "in a rush", chatted for a bit but just nada
12 Very boring girl. She sucked. So I said BYEEEEE.
1/12
WHAT I DID WELL: i focused on deliberate practice and had a specific vision for eliminating weak stops and ensuring good practice
WHAT NEEDS WORK: Stop at times was too short, too close, and I was not always taking a wide berth. Nonetheless, it showed signs of improvement. Also, SQUARING UP. I failed to square up on many sets. The set I exchanged, I DID PERFECTLY. I stopped well, I squared up, I did the smrik, got tonality right, got playful and made it man to woman.
LESSONS LEARNED: QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY. DELIBERATE PRACTICE. This has been said to me ad infiitim by my main advisors: Rags2Bitches , pancakemouse , AskTheDom
ADDITIONAL LESSON LEARNED: Self talk during approaches - often I approach as if I am a low down guy with no value. That isnt true. I am actually going to be a G in a few years. I am even OK now, just need to keep working. I focused on just enjoying it (Andy has told me this in depth also) and also telling myself I am a fucking g - who else would still be approaching after all this shit? Who? NO ONE. That must make me a fuckin legend. I also am alive, I am in the world, I have a shot. I have a chance.
The number I exchanged, funny story.
Lord Rey saw this historic moment, my first exchange in Poland, we walked off and were just SO relieved. He has seen me GRINDING HERE and getting blown out like crazy. He has seen the harsh unreceptiveness. We were relieved she talked to me. And then we texted her on WhatsApp. She responded back: WHO IS THIS?!
I say Ravi from the mall.
She replies: WHAT MALL?! Who the hell are you.
My heart sank,
MAC: Dude, she gave me the wrong number....
Lord Rey: Oh man.....
We then pull up the number, and compare to what I entered in Whatsapp
PRAISE THE LORD, I ENTERED IT WRONG
I then see she is on WhatsApp.
MISSION SAVED
We laugh our asses off.
I ping her on Whatsapp. She doesnt reply. It doesn't even go through.
I get home and text her instead. She replies. Pitch the date. She's down. I'm heading out in 45 mins. If she comes out, this will be a cold approach date! In, what, less than 50 approaches.
In London, I am around 700 approaches and no date.
In Budapest, 7 dates, all platoninc as fuck, no intimacy, not even proper makeout.
Krakow, one really good date from Tinder. And then one cold approach date after only a few days.
Whilst it is a bit hard with cold approach here, because you need good game, I will hold off before making more statements about Krakow. Also the girl from Tinder was hot. I'd say 6.75. That is WAY above my usual in London (4).
