How I got into Pickup

May 2023, I was not familiar with pick up and have never heard of The Game by Neil Strauss. I know some bad men went to bars to hit on girls and “pick them up”, but had no clue that this could be done on the street in broad daylight. Quit Porn EasyPeasy → Rational Male → Nick Krauser → Tom Torero At the time, I was dedicated to cure my porn addiction through NoFap. The only resource that cured the problem for me was the “EasyPeasy method to quitting porn” (which I recommend). At the end of that book, the author recommends reading The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi as a way to “avoid bad relationships”. The author had already won my trust, and avoiding bad relationships sounded important, so I gave it a go and downloaded Rollo’s first volume. ...

Learning to Set Boundaries

Or how not to get laid in Warsaw: a warning to my future self to not be a moron. Wednesday 14 August was the last night of my first Polish Euro jaunt. I had one lay but, alas, no Polish flag. My last chance would be tonight: a date at 11 pm with a tanned Polish girl, after she would return from the cinema. My two daygame mates had left, so I was sitting outside a bar on Nowy street by myself. By now it was 11:50 pm with no trace of her. My phone buzzed: “I’m a bit tired. Maybe you plan to visit another time?”. It wasn’t completely unexpected, but it still phased me because it’s the first time a girl cancelled a date with me on the say day - especially on such short notice. ...

#11 First Warsaw Lay

I was relaxing in the RUNO terrace on Nowy street after a long daygame session in the company of some local daygamers. Sipping on my second beer, I saw a slim Asian girl stroll by. Her slow walk and revealing black top made her look particularly setty. Even though I had officially called it a day, my gut feeling told me I should open her. Unfortunately, my lethargy got the better of me and I let her go by. “I really should have opened her” I confessed to my mates. ...

Obsessiveness & Impact on Professional Life

I’ve always had an obsessive personality. Whether it was study, games or work, I always sacrificed all other parts of my life to excel at the object of my obsession at the time. Without a doubt, daygame is my current obsession: it’s by a far the activity I’ve spent the most time on this year, and have read the most about. Although the impact on my personal life was modest, the impact on my work has been substantial. ...

New Daily Set Record

Today I’ve opened 17 girls, which beats my previous record of 14 approaches on August 3rd 2023. My last set was particularly memorable: it was one of these very rare sets where I felt I was actually doing Game, instead of polite chit-chat. I stopped a girl outside of the Centrum metro station on Patelnia in Warsaw as it was getting dark. By then I was nearly exhausted from a long day of solo daygame. Remarkably, as soon as I opened her, my tiredness was replaced by an animalistic alertness. There was no approach anxiety whatsoever and my stacking was effortless. Almost instinctively, I came up very close to her so that our feet were nearly touching. I can’t remember ever being this close in set. ...
