Killer week. Very strong performance. Channel has grown to 453. I had 48 subs when I left London, Jan 2023. Grew a lot in a year. Now let’s break 500. EASY.
The idiots who comment on the recent blackpill video, are a joke. This is why I love this forum.
I am a grinder. I love action takers. I love hustlers. Hard workers.

Notes:
Yesterday, was rough. Was on the PwF podcast until 3am. Chatted to Scotty for 30 more mins. Got introduced to Scotty's family, which is important as we're partners now. They are all, amazing people.
I woke up after all that, at 10am. Not feeling the best.
Got a coffee, did some small admin tasks, such as sending payments, life admin, things like that.
I was feeling incredibly irritable and negative, due to the low sleep. I never do well with late nights.
For a bit, I will have to grind through them. I am an entrepreneur, and the value of making the connections, marketing myself, getting more eyeballs and ears on me and my work, is my responsibility. It's my job to serve people, add value to their lives, and make this a focus. In return for adding value to the world, abundance will come to me.
Plus, I love to grind............
You can't grind, if you're tired and unfocused, though.
Tried my best, but it was a shitshow.
Nothing got done, despite my efforts.
I sacked it off, and rested.
I re-installed Tinder, after taking December off. The boost produced some matches, which is great. The quality of them, was really bad, though. Fatties, and quite strange people.
One gal, was decent looking. Was a scam. LOL.
This, and looking at my Bumble and Hinge results, got to me. I had a low moment, as many players have, when I sunk into some sadness.
I've been in the lifestyle, for 3 years, and though there's been some wins, I am so dissatisfied with the quality of woman. I truly am.
Have complained to the various coaches I've worked with about this. In my defence, whilst it may sound like me being a whinny cunt, I have not really had a satisfactory answer. I was concerned I was too ugly to find someone decent, for a long time. This was never something I could get reassurance over, because to be frank, the women I am getting through this work, are quite a bit worse looking than me. And I am quite bad. Oldies, fatties, and women who are so clearly washed up and leftover, that no man worth his salt would want them.
This is not tenable.
Naturally, motivation to date and work on dating, is zero. I have had next to no motivation for this, for a long time, and stopped studying any form of game, reading or watching videos, all that. This has NOT stopped me from approaching, using the apps, and working on dating. I have been painfully consisted, for years now. It's just....the people I am matching with, I am not attracted to. At all. And though I am getting the lays and some fun sex, it's quite hard to sustain true motivation, when you are having to settle for people you don't even want.
There was a point in my journey where I could ask for feedback and advice, and generally that was useful, but I have found the issues that pertain to me as an individual, aren't really things many have experience with. For most, what I've done so far, is meant to work,
It's a sticky situation.
Objectively, I have remained bad looking. It's good I have done self improvement, but my looks level, unfortunately, is really poor.
With confidence and some charisma, I am able to get laid, but these women literally all ghost. And I can see why. They don't want me, and that's fine.
Staying where I am in my dating life, is an impossibility. This, I'd say, is about 5 levels from where would be acceptable to me.
Upon further consideration, I will make a more concerted effort to lose weight. My face is the primary issue in my dating life.
You're welcome to check it out on YouTube videos such as this, where there is natural and regular lighting:

From 2:00 (You can ignore my Chad client, Ralph, who is doing 30 days of immersion with me)
Having game and confidence, is good, but when the woman is looking at that, and her emotions have faded a little, I can understand why they make the assessment, and don't bother.
In order to improve, I cannot look the way I do. It is a recipe for absolute despair in life, and to die alone.
That, can't happen.
I am going to commit to 2 x 24hr fasts a week.
I will continue to lift, gain size and strength (important), and otherwise, be on top of health and self improvement.
I will get botox in my forehead this month.
And I'll also look at fillers and buccal fat removal.
With a face that is a 2 or 3, it is acting as a serious DLV. Despite having some other value to offer, it is really asking a lot for a gal to be presented with something she'd have to look at, that she doesn't like. I understand.
Women, in my opinion, just won't look past both looks,
and low SMV.
Normal self improvement service, will resume, with a focus on finding ways to fix my unfortunate face.
I will get more clear on the specific actions I need to take this month to progress:
-Fasting
-Botox
-Filler
-Buccal fat consult
I will see what I can do.
If I am able to do these in a timely manner, I will shoot some new photos, and see if I can get some OK matches.
It would be quite a defeat, to have been in Budapest for this long, and have had them be as bad as this.
This still beats the UK, however.
Poland, which was another location I tried, was almost as bad as Budapest, though during cold approach, the women were at least quite nice.
I have my own thoughts on locations for low SMV & ugly men: they make no meaningful difference.
Why? If you stack up at the bottom, you will stack up at the bottom everywhere. The smart move, is to raise SMV, by any means necessary!
I just persist, and have good consistency. I use the apps, daily. I make time to approach, daily, though the volume here, is now awful.
That said, I do believe, if a guy's genetics put him at a 4 or 5 in real terms (I'd say I am about a 4 when you consider all factors, not the odd series of lays I will get once in a blue moon), you can still maxxx out to a 6 imo. If I could find a gal who was a 6, I'd love it.
And there is always, always the option of extreme grinding. Which is how I have obtained my results so far. Grinding large numbers + Luck = Success.
My looks development, has been poor on my part. I have been ineffective in improving my physique, and also ineffective in taking my overall look forward.
To address this, I began strength training, which is the right move. I have made diet changes, which were in some ways, one step forward, one step back, as I gained some weight. Not all fat, there's muscle and strength gains here. But there is some fat, and given my reception, and how women treat me, this was enough for it to make things quite challenging indeed.
No matter. You can't whine in excess. That is bad for mental health, as we all know.
I have fasted today, and I expect to be a bit lighter tomorrow. I will smash the gym next week, as well as two fasts. And push some looksmaxxing actions forward.
I will book my return flight, and will be back with my parents in March. I will stay there for a month or two, and then, keep it moving in this journey.
I am glad to now be able to build my own platform, where I will, in time, be able to speak some truths. I hope in future, men will not be fed bullshit, that doesn't serve them. I was of the opinion at the first year of this, that with work and staying on a multiple year journey, I'd be able to a partner who is a solid person. Now I have gotten further along, I would not suggest this to people. I would, instead, deliver a harder truth: all of this stuff, is a theory, you have to test. Upon thorough testing of my own product, I understand how it intersects with the market, and how it is received. It's just too far outside of the window of what women are willing to date. That, whilst unfortunate, is just statistical probability. It is bound to happen sometimes, and shouldn't be take too personally.
I have committed to a few more years. I will serve that time, and then continue with my life.
Today's checkin, will follow
