YEAR 3: THE IRONWILL PROJECT: MONEY, MUSCLES, MINDSET - FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING, MY RELENTLESS JOURNEY

[Holden]

Nice work dude

It's totally okay to react "emotionally" when you're doing something like this for the very first time. Enjoy the afterglow

 

[MakingAComeback]

Thanks man. It was a good feeling. I would say it was definitely my first success in the whole journey. Nothing major, I get that, but I am just happy to be on a mission in life.

A great quote from the video I shared yesterday:

"The Cave You Fear to Enter Holds the Treasure You Seek"
-Joseph Campbell

I had a bit of a moment of madness where I thought I would stop cold approaching in the day yesterday, it was only for a second then I logged off and went to bed, but in the back of my mind I knew it was bullshit.

And plus, so many of the guys here have busted there ass approaching hundreds of women. I need to get there too.

Gotta get my head in the game today..........

Thanks folks.

Progress is progress. I am a little better than I was last week, a little closer to the starting line, so that's good.

I am beginning to think I may not be as bad as I have thought in the past, and I will get better, long term, I should be OK.

I don't want to continue cold approach in the day in this city. Which is exactly why I will continue cold approach in the day in this city.

Back to work, business as usual.

Keep attacking,
MAC

Ok good.
Glad you changed your mind.

Thank you brother, feeling good still, damn some of us really need just to be listened and heard, I know I did.

[Now]

So, now I know how I fucked up my dating life.

I stayed in the general area I was born, pretty much, and got what I always had got: absolutely nothing. The place I am working in right now is very industrial, working class, and sorry to say something as classist as this, but full of chavs. Again, I feel bad saying that, because I am actually from humble beginnings myself, although I did achieve class mobility and went to a relatively elite University, took professional jobs, etc, nonetheless, there is a reason why every time I approach a girl in the West Mids, they are deeply unreceptive. Much of the time, they’re kind of borderline scowling chavs, and being able to speak articulately is something that is considered quite alien round her. These are not really ambitious people seeking affluence or to be anything in this world. They resonate with a different energy.

I was never going to get my needs met her. The other people from around here who were bright and hard working fucked off to London and made something of themselves.

I will now do the same.

I can relate to this so much, my hometown feels the same way. Just crabs in a bucket happy with misery.
A while back I spent one day in Zurich and the difference was night and day, just like your experience in Oxford man. Happy people that are trying to add value to the world. Fucked my mind.

Location absolutely matters, get out of there man. I'm excited to see where your journey leads!

GOOD START!

What are your dating goals for this year? (8 dates?).

 

[Manganiello]

Ok good.
Glad you can feed your mind.

Lol typo. I meant:
"Glad you changed your mind"

 

[Thebastard]

Well mi amigo.

Now there is 0 doubt in my mind that not only shall you succeed but you shall be a frigging legend.

In all of my life, no woman has EVER approached me. I have NEVER been told I am good looking or handsome, in my early 20s or otherwise (aside from women I have banged obviously). Even today women never 'sideways' glance me or give me IOIs. Even in the 'better' locations in the world I have NEVER kissed a girl I just met off the street either. And that is after 2000+ approaches.

Take how well I have done so far and multiply it by 50 and that is how well you will do if you keep up the effort and keep burrowing into this rabbit hole.

Haha, I liked the previous version tho! Reminds me of this song

From 2:10.

But, thank you for your post yesterday. I was SO sleep deprived and tired, and also kind of buzzing with excitement, we are all prone to momentary lapses of judgement, but the difference is, I am able to step back and see the big picture. I will put in my work with approaches, get to 5-10k, and see what difference there is to my confidence and social skills. I think future MAC will thank me.

Dude, you do not know how much that means to me coming from you. Thank you for taking the time to say that.

I am going to add a section to my first post called Important Posts. This one will be called:

The Bastard's Prophecy.

In 2-3 years, we'll see if the prophecy comes true! ;-)

Thank you man! Yes indeed sir, 8 dates

Working hard, trying my best, and in time, I will go on my first date at 30 years young ;-)

Looksmaxxing is big for me, hammering the gym and my diet, and the weight will come off - my coach thinks I will be lean by December.

Why did you choose Cranial Sacral Therapy over other sorts of therapy?

Why did you choose Cranial Sacral Therapy over other sorts of therapy?

Hey man. So I saw it mentioned on a blog I used to follow and tried it out of curiosity, It was interesting! Will keep experimenting with different approaches, energy healing can be useful IMO for healing us emotionally and getting us psychologically healthier.

I want to be loose, relaxed, and to emanate a warm, happy, positive energy to the world, ideally so i can nourish the people around me and the ones I love.

Shall get there.

COLD APPROACH: Out for 1hr, 0 approaches, saw a grand total of 1 girl the whole time, she was pretty, but I couldn't say a single word to her lol.

Day time approach is just difficult for me. Nighttime and in venues, I can approach effortlessly. Why? Because I built that muscle. This one, I haven't....yet.

Back out tomorrow.

Oh, forgot to say, a girl I was texting said she would be down to meet for a date this Sat just gone, but she cancelled the day of. That was the day when I was coming back from Oxford. I matched with some nice chicks, and some were receptive/cool, but they randomly unmatched.

Looking to head to London this Sat. The chick I met in the club last Friday hasn't responded to my text, so she's probably ghosted, which is fine. I had another girl I was texting who is in London, hit her up and she said she has plans this weekend. There is one chick, however, who said she may be free this Sat. We shall see.

So, all in all, not really had a breakthrough just yet. Grinding a lot, but there is such a long road ahead.

Definitely sucks. Not much I can do, other than to keep trying.

Now have other work to get done. Will check in when the day is done.

Hit me up when you're here. Getting my hair done during the day but I'll be around in the evening/night.

That's awesome you're still getting out there. I know how it is with hardly seeing any girls, low population sucks. That's why you gotta approach the first attractive girl you see. I know how hard it can be though. What worked for me is basically telling myself in my mind "you HAVE to do it and there's no backing out now" once I see a girl I want to approach and then just doing it. Idk if that would work for you but it usually helps me. I definitely still miss too many opportunities too though.

Thanks for sharing man. Therapy is something I never did so I will be following your progress closely.

Hey man. Of course! I obv would have dropped you a line immediately and we would get to work. So right now, I texted the girl I met in the club on Sunday, and she hasn't responded yet, however, if she replies tomorrow and is open to a date, I'll put that in the schedule. If there's no response tomorrow, I will basically ask one of my other London girls to see if they would be down to meet for a drink, or otherwise, I will do a multiple hour approach session in the day! Will make things happen, it will get better, weight is coming off too.

However, that said, regardless, we are definitely hitting the night venues together and hammering out many, many approaches - I'll do 50, you do your thing bro you are already decently successful with women, but myself, I need to get in the trenches. Will see you either way, got a meeting shortly but will send you my number and we can start CRUSHING!

For sure Sam, low population makes it fucking hard to get good, but that is a motivator, fuck it, I will keep hammering.

Thanks big man, I will be 100% honest and open and really give it all I have, and will document the whole thing. I have also booked a 3hr float tank session, and from there, I will go to Bristol and spend a few days there, and get lots of approaches done!

Busy with work today, but got gym done, core work done, movement and stretching done, diet has gone well and got a therapy session tonight.

Will keep hammering,
MAC
