Retirement

So early last week I was considering retiring from "The Game" and no longer doing pickup. Although, we all know that just isn't possible. I was sick, frustrated, didn't give a shit... and had to do a PU101 workshop on the weekend. At the beginning of the week, I actually felt sorry for the guys that were taking the workshop. Not because of the fact that they were taking the workshop; but because they were going to have an instructor such as myself that just didn't give a shit.

As the week progressed, I started to feel better, and had fully kicked my colds ass by Friday. Weird that my body knew it needed to be at full strength in order to make it through a weekend where the wheels would fall off due to a severe lack of sleep. So I got to the workshop on friday and met all the students who I would be taking from your everyday average frustrated with women guy and turning them into attraction masters.

An additional surprise when I arrived was that a reporter and photographer from USA Today were there conducting interviews for a future article in the weekly magazine that is curculated to more than 2 million people nationwide. SO that will be kinda a trip to see myself in there as an instructor for the art of attraction.

I would have to say that the most rewarding part of being involved as an instructor is watching how these students go from a shy, unconfident guy on Friday when they first walk in; to knowing that they now can go out and flirt with women and just be a more fun, social person in general. It truely is one of the coolest things that I have experienced to see what a difference this makes in these guys lives.

Don't really know where I am going with this, other than to say I was inspired by this weekend, and a quote that I read not to retire... here it is...

Exert your talents, and distinguish yourself, and don't think of retiring from the world, until the world will be sorry that you retire.

Direction

So I recently quit my "day" job and have been searching for a direction ever since. You know that quarterlife crisis BS that you've read about in the newspaper and magazine? Well, it's true. I have no clue what the fuck I am doing, or where I am going. About the only thing I enjoy these days is doing P/U. Working for PU101 has taught me more about social interaction and how to turn my already developed social skills into meeting and attracting beautiful women. P/U is becoming quite an obsession for me. I go out 3-4 days and 3-4 nights a week lately to be social and meet people/women in general. In talking with my wings, I've come to the realization that pickup is not something you do, but a part of your life. No longer do I go out with the intention of doing pickup. Rather, I go out to be social, and the fact that I talk to and flirt with women is just a part of who I am and daily life. At this point, it actually feels a little weird not to flirt and have fun/be social when I am out. Although, I realize that I am ok with going out and just hanging with my friends too. It actually feels more productive to go out and just stand there talking to my friends not doing pickup (cause I am too tired or out of it that night or something), than to sit at home on my ass watching TV. I haven't yet decided whether this space is going to be my own forum for my FR's and LR's; but who knows...
