Weed is the biggest game killer for me. All my charm, wit, and confidence goes out the window. It causes me to overthink and worry instead of free flowing and having outcome independance.

It DOES occasionally help when a girl is already into you because you focus on them more intently and I tend to be too aloof at times. But for initial approach and building attraction it can be kryptonite.

I have a pet theory that cannabis puts you into a feminine frame. It also lowers discipline

I don't understand how or why but I have noticed it many times.

If you want to maximize your growth as a man, you must not smoke more than once or twice a month. And I'm saying this as a big fan of our plant allies

I've smoked weed every day for the past 3 years and I can definitely say that at first it threw my game off; usually because I would overthink and hold back in conversation. Now I just tell the girl straight up that I'm baked so if I'm "acting funny" that's why, and it usually makes everything more chill granted she isn't against it lol. But now I just dab, which I personally feel gives me less of a tired feeling and less anxiety compared to actually smoking. A lot of my anxiety from smoking actual herb came from worrying if people could smell the weed off my breath or whatever, but dabbing solved that issue too.

I'm a daily smoker. I've got to completely internalize TRP principles before even approaching women. Also, I've got no motivation to do that because of the quality of women that are around me. I've decided to go monk mode(nofap) until I've got my shit sorted out.

Yeah, smoking is holding me back a little. Working shift is stressing and fucks with my sleep pattern. I smoke indica before I go to sleep and it helps. Sativa while reading, watching a movie or hanging out with a pal. I'm gonna stop smoking soon, by force. Either that or I lose out on a better job.

Weed did help me cut out the other vices in my life. On "character building" days, the force of state change makes it easier to bear. I'm replacing weed with meditation, slowly. It's a long, uphill battle but I'll reach another milestone soon.

Weed makes me feel emotions and I fucking hate those.

Hey man just wanted to say I tried this today and it worked mint. Cheers.

Wouldn't recommend mixing old destructive habit patterns with a new positive one you're trying to build.

Again, you lot are still looking for easy ways to turn beta chowder into alpha lasagne. Because of this you obscure yourself from methods that could be much more effective.

 

Look, make a simple plan for going out and approaching completely sober, then do that for a few months. Even better if you go solo (Legendary difficulty)

 

I did this all last year; going out 4 - 7 nights a week, usually 6. Alone, Zero alcohol, Zero substance even Zero Sugar - bar water's free (though they sometimes think you're on molly because of this).

 

Even if you have little sexual success (100% likely), the strength of character you'll get from forging yourself into someone who can do something like that will be remarkable; and you'll probably stick to it out of ego gratification for being able to do so.

 

From there just gradually build in the social skills that you're lacking.

• Approaching groups and handling group dynamics

• Being self-amused rather than seeking reactions.

• Remaining present through the (illusion of the) "weirdness" of walking around a venue, bored and alone.

 

Beyond the social skills, if you take your progress seriously while keeping the process light and not beating yourself up when it goes wrong (don't hesitate to kick own ass for not following stuff that you know works) You'll get a killer instinct for producing results.

 

ANYTHING that isn't moving you in the direction you want is fucked off immediately. This transfers over to your personal life when you start eliminating a lot of your own versions of 'The girl that isn't DTF but stays with you because she likes the stimulation & attention from a high value guy'.

Pre workout plus weed makes running a lot more fun. Also the receptors for runners high is the same as THC so you start in the zone.

Quit that shit. It's a loser drug.

If I understood correctly, inviting a girl to my place to mosh like crazy to some heavy ass deathcore can also work as polarizing. Like, that's bound to net a lot of rejections, but those who agree will be way easier to proceed with down the way.

To make this a contribution to the community, I should give a word of advice to the newly redpilled: read between the goddamn lines. I can't stress enough how important it is to be able to see the principle behind the upvoted posts and not take them at face value. You don't need to smoke weed to apply polarization: just find any uncommon trait in yourself that can be percieved as a vulnerability and that your potential partner may share, and don't be afraid to use it as an interaction starter. In fact, this will even raise your percieved value because not everyone is confident enough to openly address their vulnerabilities. Bonus points if you can actually make your polarizing trait only seem a vulnerability, if you stop giving shits about the possibility of rejection due to said trait, you're fucking invincible.

There are certainly better ways to go about this, particularly in how you approached women outside the bar (don't self deprecate or reveal such internal weaknesses). But Im glad you are out there doing it and I know you will get better.

Car accident survivor. Recovering from brain and spinal cord injuries. About 3 years in. Marijuana is my life blood in some ways. Its also a double edged sword. I started doing drugs at thirteen and my use certainly wasnt medicinal. At least, not in terms of medicating the way I understand it now. In some ways you might liken the experimentation of my youth as me seeking a remedy to my inexperience. I certainly believe that nothing good comes from regretting my past so I do my best to ensure that time wasnt wasted and that the lessons remain.

I struggle with the remaining psychological framework of addiction as I try to retool it into a model that moreso resembles responsible medicinal use. Im pretty fucking successful at doing this sometimes. I keep a daily journal of my use. I weigh and record the amount of weed I consume and record my intentions for consuming. I do my best to differentiate between when Im really in pain or having trouble getting through the day because of my symptoms, and when Im starting to slip back into that burnout mindset.

If you really think about it, everything is a drug. At least, everything you experience is a result of chemical reactions taking place within your neurochemistry. Some people reward themselves by sitting down to watch an episode of a mindless sitcom after a hard days work. Some people study sitcoms and go on to become successful writers. Some people smoke weed and play cod with a vibrating fleshlight rigged to their cock and porn going on the other monitors so they can flood their system with as much chemical stimulation as possible. I cant lift without cannabis in my system, otherwise my migraines start getting really pronounced and I get vertigo. Not good when youre moving heavy shit around. Glad I had the sense in highschool to funnel some of my money into setting up a homegym. Way easier to burn one mid workout if my heads starting to get bad.

Weed is faggotry. Mighty as well go on high carb diet and subscribe to pornhub. Girls who smoke weed often are trash and just want someone to mooch weed off of.
