Nuggets of Gold

On April 21, 2012 by Shark

Shark, reading this blog has changed my life. For the better. I’ve no doubt about that.
But i’ve come to the point where I find myself so crammed up with knowledge that I over analyse everything; the fact that you’ve covered such minute details is a blessing, but also a curse. I feel that I need to take the fundamentals and take a step back from game, evo psych, social dynamics, everything. So that I dont find myself reliant on this blog, or thinking to myself whenever a slightly different scenario happens from one you’ve explained ‘I’ll just ask Shark.’ To me you’re like my guide, a father figure, but there comes a time where the student has to step out into the wicked wide world alone.. and I feel like that time is now. But before I go i’d appreciate some last words of advice.. & forgive me for asking such a cliched and compacted question, but if you were to sum up game for me, inter-gender relationships, understanding women, everything… what would you say? Just a nugget… so I can stop pondering on all the footnotes, brackets, engaging in over-analysis and re-focus myself — take the step forward and be independent.

 

Excellent.

The most important things I learned from game, in short:

 

(1) As you think, you shall become: While the notion of your thoughts manifesting into reality pervades the entire self-development scene, I believe it was Pook from the Sosuave forums whom I first picked this up from in the stated phrase. You’ve undoubtedly been over exposed to the principle of positive thinking through popular works on the subject (The Secret, 7 Powerful Habits, etc), and writings about game, but I promise, no one here is fully aware of how overwhelmingly powerful this simple statement is. It is the most important thing I have ever learned in my entire life.

The basis of it has been blasted into a rather mystical concept, but the premise remains simple and obvious. Why do you act the way you act? Why do you get scared sometimes, yet feel audacious in others? Our actions, our personalities, our habits; they are all external manifestations of our consciousness. The seat of our mind controls the world around us. And our thoughts, just like our actions, are MALLEABLE. They bend to our will, whatever it may be. It requires only that you be willing to sacrifice who you are for who you can become.

The problem most people have is they phrase a POSITIVE thought as a NEGATIVE one.”I wish I had money” is a negative thought. It revolves around the idea that you DON’T have money, and are desperate for it. “I will have money if that’s what I want and I work for it” is a positive thought. The former pushes you to paralysis, the latter to action. “I wish I didn’t have approach anxiety, I’ll have to force myself to approach, I guess” versus “What I’m feeling right now is a delusional instinct, If I approach enough, it will go away.” Notice how the person thinking both of these WILL still approach. The former idea is a negative thought MASKED as a positive thought. You must train yourself to catch these subtleties.

 

(2) Know who you are: It takes much longer than most people think to truly understand your strengths, your weaknesses, your identity, and most of all; to know who you WANT to be. I went through some old stuff yesterday, all the way back from junior high school, and what I found was a collection of broken dreams. Old boxing attire from when I was determined to become a professional fighter. 50 or so books on comedy and jokes from when I wanted to become a stand-up comedian. And one I forgot; a library of science books and lab materials from when I was convinced for 8 months or so that I was going to become a mad-scientist after reading a few sci-fi books. Yes, you read that right, not a scientist, a MAD scientist. I legitimately wanted to become a crazed genius bent on world domination. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for me to realize I don’t have a Mad-Geniusesque IQ

Thinking back now, I wouldn’t be where I was had I not gone through all of that. If I had thought to myself, “This is too irrational, don’t even bother,” I wouldn’t be who I am, nor would I have acquired a vasty array of useful skills. The knowledge of who you want to be CAN NEVER be attained passively. You need to burn through experiences, risks, challenges, changes, jumps, hurdles, dives, and impulses to get there. Enlightenment is to be pursued, not waited for. Fortune favors the Bold.

It’s the same with women. If I had settled for my first or second girlfriend and tried to make it work “no matter what,” if I had never grown the balls to let go of my Oneitises, I wouldn’t know what I wanted from a girl.

It’s the same with your weaknesses. If I hadn’t gone through and overcome a death list of addictions, I wouldn’t know “Shark, you have an obsessive personality, you need to learn to cut shit loose.” What do I do if I watch a TV show and like an episode? I go on wikipedia and read the ending for the entire series. Because I KNOW myself, and I know how distracting the things around me can be. More importantly, I know my REAL goals and where I want to be in every checkpoint of my life. So when I see something I like, I go through a quick mental calculation. “If I like this activity a lot, I KNOW I am going to do it more and more. It’s going to be 10 hours out of my week. Is it going to get me closer to my goals? No. It’s an illusory rush. It is purposeless. Fuck it, cut it off right NOW.”

People who don’t KNOW who they are, who don’t KNOW their goals are much more likely to get distracted by things that SEEM like they’re ok to do. I used to be play squash and basketball very competitively, practicing thoroughly for both, but I learned to let them go into casual activities. I’m not making it to the NBA, or the Galactic Squash Championships, and the health benefits can be attained at the gym. Playing for 4 hours a day, while good for the soul, is NOT going to be a worthwhile tradeoff. I have learned to triage efficiently.

If you KNOW you get addicted to video games, DON’T touch one. Seriously, just never ever play. If you KNOW you can’t be one of those people who only play for 20 minutes and can go on unaffected, if you KNOW that you get distracted easily, don’t EXPOSE yourself to distractions in the first place. Or maybe you’re okay with it? Maybe you want to become a pro-gamer? Take a break for a few months, try other things. When your minded is unclouded from the rush of playing, ask yourself “is this what I really want? Am I okay with this lifestyle?”

I meet a 9, I know we’re not going to clique very well. Do I waste my time lying to her about wanting to be in a relationship? No. I know it’s not going to work, I know what type of girls I will have chemistry with, I know what I want from a long-term commitment.

Marriage DOES take some level of compromise. And if you know yourself, you can be much wiser about the “not changing yourself for any girl” approach. If you’re a smoker and your wife says “I want you to stop smoking,” are you going to tell her to fuck off? Well that’s an obvious one, so let’s bring up a more interesting scenario. Let’s say you’re an adrenaline junkie. You’re thinking of marriage with this girl. She says she wants you to stop sky diving and bungee jumping because it worries her. Do you KNOW yourself enough to say “I can give this up.” If you KNOW you can’t, then you should quit and look for a girl who’s ok with it, perhaps is even willing to dive from cliffs and shit with you. If you KNOW you can give it up, then this might still be a relationship worth thinking about.

Without knowing what you want, you can’t get rid of what you don’t want. You can’t avoid what you will later regret.

 

(3) Women will be women: They are fickle, absent-minded, emotional, hypergamous, and estrogen fueled; live with it. They say that players and Alphas are unjust for their view of women as paltry objects of pleasure, to which I would reply, it is a necessary, even demanded understanding. I don’t believe women are “inferior,” only different. But through the double process of demonizing game + the direct breeding of resentful jerks; the inferior view has become the more popular one. But here’s the crux of the matter:

In the Omega to beta scale, women are viewed as pedestalized goddesses. Pussy is either never attained, or if it is, the dynamic is too lopsided for attraction to sustain itself. The girl gets bored, or if she’s equally desperate, resentful because she has to settle for something so meager.

In the Greater beta to lesser Alpha scale, women are viewed as equal, but NOT different. Pussy may be acquired, but it is misunderstood. Men expect women to be logical, to not shit test, in other words, to be men with vaginas. Relationships may prosper, but poorly. Insecurities run rampant, jealousy backfires, the guy eventually loses control deep into the relationship because of beta-backsliding. Cheating, instability, and divorce are the results.

In the Alpha to Super Alpha scale, women are viewed as inferior. Men intuitively understand that women ACT LIKE WOMEN, and are able to manipulate this precept to their advantage. Shit tests are properly handled, hurdles are overcome, and the man remains unshakeable for the most part. BECAUSE he sees a girl as “inferior,” he does not EXPECT her to reciprocate on an equal level. The dynamic is FUNCTIONAL because women are treated in a way that makes them feel aroused by a figure of higher perceived value, however, it is not ideal. It becomes too lopsided in favor of the man. The girl either quits because rapport gets broken too often, falls for someone else, or becomes so exhausted that it leaves her permanently damaged.

The solution, is game. Combine the above view of women with a degree of respectability and LOGICAL understanding, and you can get the best out of a relationship. For instance, I KNOW that I will lose interest in a girl if I OVER-GAME. She’ll seek too much qualification, become too dependent, and too clingy. I’m able to calibrate up or down the right amount, keeping both of our interests at their peaks. I know when to pass shit tests because they are genuine shit tests, and when to signal affection because she’s genuinely unsure of my commitment. I know when to “act beta” just to get her to stop wanting to spend so much time with me so I can focus on work; I know when to cut-off all contact and disappear because her interest is waning.

For soon-to-be-players, the crave for power always results in imbalanced relationships. It’s a rush the first time you have a disproportionate control over a relationship. The first time you really have a girl willing to do whatever it takes to be with you. Once you’re seasoned, you begin to understand that a 60-40 balance (in your favor) is ideal for both people, not a 90-10 one.

The parrot analogy a sage once told me remains one of my favorites to illustrate this point. If you heard a parrot squawking, and you gave it food so it would stop, would you expect it to never squawk again? If you go “fix” your relationship by solving a problem, should you expect there to never be another problem? If you “pass” a jealousy shit test, should you expect there to never be another one? You must embrace and adapt to the nature of women, not try and change it.

 

(4) Be Alpha: If I had to sum up what women were attracted to in one equation, it would be:

Alpha = Pussy

May your presence dominate a room, your body language leak exquisitely with confidence, your smile be a contagious outlet for positivity, your cunningness be as sharp as a blade, your ambition unmatchable, your hunger for power insatiable, your boldness magnetic, your charm blinding, your knowledge illuminating, and your attitude fearless.

Fuck, not just pussy, even other dicks are obedient to Alpha. I can’t exaggerate how easy life becomes if you’re NOT a beta. It is a blunt fact of reality. Alphas are better human beings than betas.

And the best part of it, you already have it in you. You FEEL Alpha when people look up to you for whatever reason, you FEEL Alpha when you close a girl you’re attracted to.

You don’t need this site, you don’t need books, you don’t need seminars, you don’t need forums. You just need to awaken yourself. Go with your Gut. Does sitting idly at the club FEEL Alpha? Does being scared to approach a girl FEEL Alpha? Does hesitating to escalate FEEL Alpha? Does not going in for the kiss FEEL Alpha?

You don’t need ANALYZE anything. Secks and attraction are primitive, evolutionary concepts aren’t they? Apes have secks, don’t they? Do apes analyze? Analyzing, even by way of Game, is an ARTIFICIAL instinct. Man has invented it. It is fake. Be an animal, eliminate all fear and go with your gut.

 

(5) Time is the most valuable commodity. I can testify for this.

You want women. So you get 50 books on seduction, study the art throughly, you do 20 approaches a day for a year, you change how you look, you become Alpha. You have women.

You want money. You work your ass off, go through business idea after idea, finally you strike gold. You learn the basics of financing, pick up some management skills, continue expanding, you do everything it takes to remained focused. Now you have money.

You want knowledge. You read novel after novel, you read journal after journal, you read the classics, you read contemporary works, you read science, you read history, you read everything you can get your hands on. Now you have knowledge.

Finally, you want to help other people. So you make a blog to spread the word about your ideas You work at it, work at it, work at it, you unplug people, you share your wisdom, finally you’re making a change. A big change.

Slowly all of these goals are coming to you. But something’s itching at the back of your conscious.

You want more women? Done.

You want more money? Done.

You want to change lives? Done.

You want more time to do more things? Impossible.

Maybe that’s why I muse about the void so much; a projection of my own id. But keep this in mind so you never forget how stupid it sounds when people say “let’s kill time and do nothing.” It’s ironic because with everything else in life, you start with nothing and must build it yourself. With time, you start with as much as you’ll ever have, and then slowly, it ticks away.

 

I wish you luck, May the force be with you.

    Shark,

    Awesome blog. Question: is dealing with procrastination a sheer matter of willpower or are there techniques/methods to go around it?

  • Alex

    Hey Shark, do you watch any professional sports?
    I know you’re not much into wasting too much time on entertainment. I don’t like watching that much myself, but sometimes T feel like I need to watch.

    Ocassionally watch a random football(soccer) competition(specially when they’re important or sometimes just with friends to socialize), or the MotoGP(which is a beautiful sport) or even some boxing or MMA if I can.

  • Servvante

    I really like
    “It’s an illusory rush. It is purposeless.”
    From video games to facebook to all the pointless shit that dose nothing for you.
    Stuff like that is not healthy because its a waste of time, their not bad to do OCCATIONALLY but should not be your MAIN focus.

  • Alex

    Shark, a question just popped into my mind.

    How do you talk to really influential people when you have a chance to talk to them? Specially if you want to keep in touch, or have some sort of … connection with their world.

    It came to my mind because tomorrow James Cameron is coming to my film school in Beijing(I’m from Europe) and of course…being able to befriend James Cameron is a little too farfetched specially with limited time and being just a student and people are just going to try to talk to him like crazy so I guess I cannot do much other than watch from afar(specially because people are ultra over excited with the crappy 3d version of titanic… I haven’t even seen that movie, but I LOVE Aliens and Terminator)

    But, often other people that are not so known by face on the media come over here. Like, producers, editors, other directors, art directors, sound engineers, etc.. How should I talk to them for them to get interested in me? To keep in touch? So they introduce me to other people? In all, to get CONNECTIONS in the world I want to be? Or also… just so I know some kick ass people for future needs, social proof, or just for the hell of it.
    In this case it’s film, but it could work for business, other arts, sports, whatever.

    Do I look up to them? Do I let them talk? Do i disagree with them? Do I make the most amaizing 1st impression about myself? Do I treat them like a 100% equal? etc.etc.etc.

    Would love it if you could elaborate a bit, I have some limitations with my language skills when asking questions, my bad.

    Thank you very much, kind sir.

  • Marcus

    When I asked you for an article that would explain how women should be treated, it was too vague of a question indeed. What I meant to ask was, “Overall, from an Alpha perspective, how should women be perceived.” You have answered my question, and I thank you for that. Just to clarify though, would that not be considered unhealthy? Thinking of women as inferior is misogynistic and degrading – full of contempt. I mentioned in my previous comment that I’ve never had a leading figure in my life, and this is an ambiguous and confusing matter for me.

    People reading this blog would laugh and think to themselves, “What a pansy beta,” and I’m anticipating that you would argue and say that I’ve been affected by feminization of society and that I need to break out of this thinking pattern. No perception of Alpha is necessarily correct, its a relative concept, meaning that we’ve ‘defined it’ and that it is flawed. Yet, I do understand that there are qualities observed in males that would make them more desirable. i.e. as you say, viewing women as inferior

    From an evolutionary perspective, yes, men are providers and therefore very valuable, but on the other hand women are our caretakers and nurturers. They are also very valuable and I can’t wholeheartedly argue that they are inferior in that sense. How about our mothers and sisters? If we adopt that worldview of women, doesn’t that put our very creators on a level below our own?

    Challenge my thinking.

    The synchronicity of this is overwhelming. I am coming to believe that if anything is actually right about the 2012 mayan calendar end of days’ awakening of consciousness new age prophecy for profit psychobabble mystical nonsense, it will come down to those men who wake up from learning, accepting, and living life like this blog opens one’s mind to such possibilities (& those like roissy, rollo, et al.) and those who don’t achieve a self-mastered awareness of themselves and their lives as you and others emphasize, will be the stray lambs that don’t make it to the other side; specifically in inter-gendered relations. Seriously, the Awakening is happening, and some will be “left behind”. Babalon is here, and she is modern woman, riding the beast; and lest we accept such things as game, we’ll be numbered, and women will be shackled as well as men to a crumbling and dissatisfying life. Not to be too dramatic, but it’s funny how the stars are aligning for some of us who are coming to terms with things like the above. As below. Thanks for sharing the truth. Memento Mori. I am very grateful for this post. I felt religious allusions were fitting, as this is a very epic time for some, if not all of us. Cheers, brother.

    • Servvante

      Funny you bring that up, before this blog I was not a lunatic but always intrigued by conspiracy theory, Illuminati, The end of the world also I have read the book “Behold A Pale Horse”. Iv always had this internal struggle on what to believe. You see I was raised Roman Catholic and was NOT perfect, although I wanted to go to heaven and I believe in god. Around the year 2007 I really started getting into that kinda stuff, was really curious, and came across a video on you tube that scared this shit out me started believing all the lies. I told myself in the year 2012 I would repent and devote my self to Christ so I can save my soul if anything were to happen during December 21st but like the above comment I always wait to the last minute to do things, which reading that you would think what the fuck did this kid not learn anything he is putting himself in a negative self fulfilling prophecy. I understand that now which is kinda of scary which also brings me to my next point, if I were to devote my self to Christ like I originally intended and believe in the church like I AM SUPPOSED TO that means that everything shark teaches goes against what I was taught as a very young age, he teaches us to be master’s of women, date multiple women, FUCK, better yourself, disprove god, God complex’s(<blasphemy) etc. Shark has extremely convincing arguments which leads me to my other point, if God, Christ, and religion is true then shark is a worker for the devil or better yet………..

      ……….

      THE ANTI-CHRIST

      ^^^

      That's what the old me would have thought, but as you can see from my first comment I said " GOD MOTHER FUCKING DAMMIT" The lords name in vein like a mother fucker. I guess you could say I'v LET GO. It's the only way to truly become an Alpha in my opinion. Now if I'm wrong and their is a God which ironically their have been many signs like some supernatural shit I HAVE experienced and a SHIT LOAD of coincidences that I have faced would make me think otherwise. Then I would be going to Hell In a Handbag but I could care less..Fearlessness. I welcome hell actually If I do go I'm going to TAKE IT FUCKING OVER.

      • Necorochi

        Wait a minute?! Your me? GOD MOTHER FUCKING DAMMIT!! I feel like Tyler Durden..

        e-mail me: blackbird.young@gmail.com

        I feel we could have an interesting dialogue, regarding religion/mysticism/spirituality/God/Kabbalah/Mahavairocana/ anything of the sort.

        I too was raised in, well as a child of divorce, two heavily religious households, baptized Catholic (or Methodist?); one house Presbyterian eventually, the other just heavily Christian – the church I was forced to attend in said household when I stayed there, had one of those fucking stupid Christian “Rock” bands, which eventually became what the world surprisingly knew as Switchfoot years after they were the youth group’s music praise session people (sons of the pastor).

        Anyway, I have studied religion intensely, I’ve watched friends go insane from watching those stupid as shit youtube videos on conspiracy shit, as well as scared myself before as well.

        But, I would like to say, don’t give up entirely on the concepts presented in the actual texts, and elicited or made lucid by some mystics who have been able to verbalize an experience, or such experiences, as spirituality is apt to bring those who understand it to some degree.

        It’s taken me YEARS to uncondition myself to christian beliefs.

        I remember choosing at a young age to go to a christian retreat at Lake Hume. I wanted to be like the cool christian kids that seemed so happy. I wanted a solution to my unhappiness.So, after witnessing like 50 kids walk on stage and cry their eyes out “Accepting Jesus into their hearts”, I thought about it, and not wanting to go on stage, figuring this should be a more personal thing, I asked my youth leader after the whole ordeal was over for the newly “saved”, how I’d go about accepting Christ as my personal savior.

        We walked down to the lake. He had the male’s from my church come with me. They were all saved already.

        He prayed, they prayed, he asked me, I said I wanted to, I desired, and I did accept Christ as my savior. They prayed more. Nothing happened.

        He took me aside, we were looking at the lake. I could see the reflection of the moon mingling with trees on the rippling water, and wet pebbles and rocks meshing with the tide. He asked me something, I don’t remember what. But I decided then that this was all bullshit and these people were wasting their time. I told him:: “The rocks are the same. The water is the same. The moon is the same. I feel no differently. I am the same. I no longer believe in your god.”

        Even in Catholic school as a child I was frequently sent home or to the principals office because I would ask too many valid questions or say things which went against the “faith” but were obviously disconcertingly true, to the point where I made other kids cry, or Nun’s flip the fuck out because I just didn’t understand why they didn’t see the truth, yet adopted this fanatical fantasy of worshipping a Death God.

        After my parents divorced, I wasn’t allowed to take communion anymore, or go to confession (which was required every Mass on wednesday for students (kindergarten through 7th grade, when I switched schools). Fortunately, that saved me from being one of sixteen kids who were molested by the new priest that arrived that year.

        I was mainly pissed I didn’t get to have a snack – I really enjoyed the taste of the communion bread-circle-chip things, and the wine of course! (which I learned at a young age wasn’t the blood of Christ, but was boxed Franzia wine).

        Back to my original tangent: you should contact me, because, despite what insanity prevails in the area of religious fanaticism, or plain and simple stupidity, escapism, rock-bottom solutions, conspiracy, etc…I do believe in something.

        And if you’d like to discuss the in’s and out’s of spirituality from someone who has, although young, spent the last 9 years studying and practicing myriad spiritual practices, I’ve found a few which are congruent with Shark; in fact, I believe almost all are, if one reads them properly.

        The point is, do you want to EXPERIENCE God? I can’t tell you how, but I can point you to some texts, some meditative practices, some mystical (Christ-based or Mahavairocana-based or Self-based or Linguistically-based or Symbolically-based, etc…) exercises which will enliven the spiritual side that some of us so deeply crave.

        I could just be half awake and rambling.

        Cool to know I’m not the only fool who was duped into nearly believing in his Father’s pseudo religion.

        At the same time, I really see no harm in being a “christian” if all it means is you read the bible and take from it what you can. A true Christ is ones Self, and once that Self is saved, it is simply a human, being whatever it desires to become.

          Furthermore, I’m not some crazy conspiracy nut, I don’t place my belief in unsubstantiated claims from paranoid people, I rather place my faith in accumulated knowledge, and more importantly, experience; but I have always been drawn to anything that’s considered spiritual, mystical, esoteric; or essentially wrong according to my upbringing, while also simultaneously remaining heavily fascinated in the religion or faith of my family i.e., Rosicrucianism, Alchemy, Freemasonry (not as a world dominating evil Rothschild , the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Thelema, Buddhism – specifically the Diamond Vehicle, or Vajrayana, classical Greek mythology, Hindu mythology – some awesomely weird stories, ancient Sumerian texts, you fucking name it, I’ve probably studied it, attempted to practice what they’ve preached, and gathered enough information to know that I could start a very convincing cult if I put my mind to it – as beyond the principles, there exists a certain pragmatic & psychologically effective means with which the human animal may overcome the obstacles of time, memory, and illusion, and induce a near schizophrenic state of awareness, which can only be likened to lucid dreaming, or perhaps astral projection; for some people, it can be called self-mastery, for others it can be deemed enlightenment, and still for others it can be that they are saved by a Western faith which gives them hope, redemption, and absolves their “sins” – which are merely those things for which they know not why they feel bad about; in essence, their is but one Essence.

          See, I could write a New Age book in a minute. But, without experiencing that which one seeks, one can never know that moment of bliss which is the awakening of consciousness, the spiritual awakening, the end of the Dark Night of the Soul, or the beginning of the “seeing the Light”.

          LVX & LOVE

          Shark & others, I believe, are doing a far greater service to mankind than the Church has ever, despite perhaps the underlings belief that the higher-ups are divinely inspired – to keep them at bay. Why else would the saviors blood be that which imbibes a Dionysian nullifying charm? There are Alpha’s – the puppeteer’s who control the Pope who controls, like the President, a facade of Power; and there are the Beta’s, those who blindly leap and strive to follow the Hierophant without question.

          We, until understanding and implementing things as presented by Shark, for example, are simply Fool’s walking off the cliff into the Abyss, smelling the rose in our hand, and unaware of the dog biting our foot; into the tzimtzum.

          But, it really doesn’t matter if all you want is pussy. I mean, even the Kabbalah – real Kabbalah, like Isaac (ben Solomon) Luria Ashkenazi (1534[1] — July 25, 1572) (Hebrew:יִצְחָק בן שלמה לוּרְיָא אשכנזי Yitzhak Ben Sh’lomo Lurya Ashkenazi), – [wikipedia provides great things to copy paste] or mystic poets like William Blake understood.

          Hard to explain. But as Emanuel Swedenborg once said [paraphrase]: “I’ve seen Angels. And Angels wear hats.”

          This has been a fun rant. Gotta drive 333 miles now. Good luck.

          As the Pagan’s whisper: Blessed Be.

          Sincerely,
          One Who At Time’s Wears Hats

    These words pierce me like a knife. I am now so different inside from the reputation I grew outside that I feel that I have to let myself come out little by little, in order to not scare people around me. I don’t actually care about close people in general (friends, family). It’s the people at work that worry me. I don’t want them to think that I just “freaked out”. But, in short, I know I have to sacrifice my old image. It does not belong to me anymore. My old self is dead, but I am still finding the courage to put it seven feet under.
    Anyway, I feel happier every day! Thanks to people like the Shark.

    I like the hourglass picture. I have a mini one I use now. I flip and go HARD before it’s done.

    First of all, i want to thank you for enlightening my darkest and bad intentioned desires of other people domination. I hardly knew how to manifestate my point of view towards the people around me, and actually by now i am way better analyzing the body language and giving people what they need to hear in order to get what i want to have. I am a young girl, and my lack of experience is pushing me to get to know everything with a backup-pre-analyzed-viewofgame. I do not belive that im just a women, as you say that we are just womens full of emotions and irrational behavior, I do agree with that. Hormones mess with every girl, but as you know theres always a exeption to the rule, i am always applying your methods and logic. Before i knew about your blog, i was trying to do what you do, analyze guys in a psychological way to get an advantage by seducing his desire to seduce me, and having the best i could, of course in my language. As you can tell im not a natural english speaker haha. But now you are being such a great help understanding human behavior towards growing as a Alpha and succeding, now becoming a Alpha it is in fact one of my short-term goal. I didnt have the terms that u use, its a lil bit hard sometimes to understand all your AMOG and oneitis, but anyways i always find the meaning doesnt matter it takes time. But now since i was analyzing guys, from a not common-girl perspective you are now my role model. Some people call me special, to avoid calling me tomboy, i am hot and dress totally like a girl, but my perspective about game doesnt match with your description of a girl. Thanks to you Shark i became a super girl, there is no guy messing with my emotions, i now know how to get the guy i want, and of course get what i want from him, your just like a loaded gun, and not everyone should shoot. I believe the ones who read you in some misterious way were supposed to be Alpha. You changed my whole perspective with an established philosophy and thats exactly what i was aiming for, for sure i will get your book whenever im able to purchase it, no work no money, but even tho i havent read your book yet you have been like the paternal-figure that i never had, seriously. Thanks for writing and making my life easier than it was.

  • Fantastic. Thank you.
