Athlone, my question to you based on what you asked is very simple then.

What do you suggest for a young man (let's say 21 years old, who DOES NOT want to wait until he is 30 when he can afford to shell out 200 bucks a pop for whores, escorts and prostitutes?

This young man wants sex with different woman right now and doesn't want to pay for it DIRECTLY.

What would your advice to him be?

Travel.

If you're concerned about your ROI(he may not be, but just in case), there is simply no better way to deal with the situation. This is the only way for a relatively young guy without much established yet to acquire a high level of sexual variety without waiting, accepting a poor ROI or paying directly.
You need to find women who offer a reasonable rate of return, and if you're in most parts of America and the UK, you probably won't find that.

Save your money and attempt to take as many trips overseas as you can. You should be able to do this before you're 30(heck, I plan on it well before then, as soon as I can get into the working world and save a little).

If you're a white male: Peru, The Philippines, and Thailand should be on top of your list for women with a good ROI who can easily be met without direct pay.

If you're black: Scandinavia, Australia and The Philippines. Also consider parts of the American midwest, particularly the Dakotas if you can get there. I recommend the same for tan/darker Latinos.

If you're asian: Eastern Europe and perhaps Scandinavia. The Phillipines can also be a good option.

Note that these are rough guidelines. He'll have to do some investigation(read the travel forum here and other sites) in order to make things work and find his ideal destinations. Fortunately, there is a lot of info out there at his disposal.

The bottomline, however, is that he needs to get on a plane to maximize his ROI while avoiding direct pay(and absent of any fame/wealth to compensate).

Other than that:

1. Take the pussy off the pedestal. An immersion in the works of Tom Leykis, Roissy and Roosh will help with this. You should also read this entire blog too.
I would start with Leykis. Go on Youtube and listen to everything you can find. This channel will provide a good start.

2. Make yourself as good looking as you can be. Start working out-mold your body as best you can. You don't have to be Schwarzenegger, but every little bit helps. Watch your diet.

If you keep yourself in shape, you'll have the ability to prolong your stay in the game FAR beyond the expectations of many.

3. Make sure you build a solid financial foundation for yourself in order to fund all of this. Wealth is your key. If you can work your way into a solid, well paying profession(or the military, which is always an option), do it.
Education is important.

4. Study the basics of game/evo-psych so you can better identify and eliminate your most glaring errors. Again, an immersion in the teachings Leykis and Roissy will make this easier for you.

That's what I would say to start. I'd probably give him a few more specific links via PM as well.

Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.

Then, making 60K a year in San Francisco Bay Area is easy - but you'll be basically at poverty line.

Same here. This is what I call "effort per notch".
The issue here, however, that for a lot of people it is hard to beat escorts purely by ROI. And for most professionals it is pretty much impossible.

I think it all comes down to how much you spend. I stayed in DR for two months and i spent 3000 dollars for both months and i literally done anything i wanted, so thats 1500 dollars per month. The only thing i plan to do next time i am there and i didnt do while i was there was to rent a car, if i stay there long term next time than i am buying one. 1.500 dolars per month is 18.000 dollars per year. Now remember that if i make 60.000 dollars per year, i will have more money than i need to spend, this will be perfect for me. I could even live good with 60.000 per year in New York, in London when i was making 20,000 dollars per year, i was living like a king (my friends thought i won the lottery, seriously), i was travelling whenever i felt like travelling, used first class flights few times (well the first class flights i didnt buy from a legit source), had money to afford good hostels, partied hard in the places that i went and had lots of free time. 60k per year for someone like me that knows how to spend his money should be enough to live good anywhere in the world and i think i spend quiet a lot, i eat out everyday, its been years since i havent cooked at home.

But as i said on my other post, making money to me is more like a sport, i have been a business oriented person since i was 7 years old, the adrenaline of making big bucks is what really excites me, if i was just looking to have enough money to afford the normal traveller lifestyle, then i dont think i would need to work for that long. But i will get really bored if i had to stop now and just be travelling around the world to fuck women, however i am glad that i have discovered while i am still young that i want more in life than just travelling around the world, i also had lots of free time already to know that having 100% free time is not everything.

Yes you are. You're not going to reliably be able to approach half a dozen women a day and spend 3-5 nights a week out at bars/clubs and not take a hit academically/financially and slow your career progression somewhat.

You either find balance, or compromise on one side or the other. Going to the school I do taught me that lesson the hard way. If I want to maintain the standards I have set for myself, I must compromise in other areas.

I do not plan(nor can I afford) to lower those standards, nor would I garner a justifiable Return on my Investment for doing so.

1. Most guys on the forum are able to do it. You don't see Mixx or G struggling for survival. You don't even have to go to clubs or bars and can simply do it during the daytime while shopping or doing other routine things.

2. Its summer, you have time off from college right now.

3. The time spent on the forum could be spent approaching. Not even trying to accuse you of spending too much time on here(I do too) but 30-40 minutes a day over a year can lead to big results.

4. ROI for cold approaching is very high if we look at the long term. 1 or 2 years of it and you are better than 99 percent of guys out there. Its also a fun skill to learn and leads to many adventures. Its simply something I do to relax, instead of wasting time on video games. Looking at it as a business investment is the exact sort of mindset I avoid. It leads to insane stories and hilarious situation but the ROI is different for each person.

I know high profile lawyers and Engineering students who have time to go pickup chicks. You're looking at it as something boring and hard work, which it is if you are doing it by yourself for the first few months. Right now cold approach is just insanely fun.

Quote:Quote:

Don't need cold approach for that.

True. But this is also about pushing your comfort zone. I hated cold approach when I started but now I love it. When you push yourself like that it pushes the boundary of your personality since you're in an arena where you don't care what the girls think. Its hard to do that in a social circle because if you push it too far you're going to face repercussions.

Cold approach results in huge changes to how people perceive you. Combined with a high level of self confidence from success in career and fitness can result in an explosive personality, depth, self esteem, and positive thinking that makes girls instantly highly attracted to you. Its downright amazing how cool this can make a guy. Maybe 1 in 500 or 1 in 1000 guys are like that without lots of cold approach. These are the kind of guys that can walk into a room full of strange people and win people over instantly by the positive emotions they give off.

Quote:Quote:

1. The benefits of social circles are not limited solely to the girls that are in them.


True, but its still a way smaller field than virtually every girl out there. I like the ability to walk up to a stunner on the street because cold approach allows me to do that. As a man we hate those missed opportunities where we let a stunner pass by.

Quote:Quote:

2. Learn to read IOIs. Girls do not need to approach you directly to show clear interest. "Warm" approaches exist as well.

I know how to read IOIs. However the number of women who do this who don't know me are very low. Maybe you're better looking and you get those IOI's. My job is to showcase my personality and show her I'm a man who's not scared to go for what I want. That creates attraction.

Also the more cold approach you do the more IOIs you'll get from random girls. It creates massive confidence in your social abilities and girls can sense it.
Also relying on warm approach game is a bad idea unless you're a good looking guy. Even then, you're just getting girls who liked you and thus you have quality control.
Quote:Quote:

3. Read Assanova/CrimeandFederalism more closely to understand the type of game I tend to favor. It is largely fundamentally incongruent with your proposal.
And that's ok.

I've read his blog. He thinks that game is all about "tactics and manipulation" when I consider game to be about putting yourself out there and not trying to impress at all. Also he relies on his looks which will lead to a lot of self confidence issues when he starts getting older. On the other hand I can go out with glasses that are twisted and a shitty t-shirt and still spit better game than I did with a nice jacket and contacts a couple of months ago. I"m not saying dress badly but rely on your yourself and not nothings like money or good looks(I consider myself fairly good looking when I dress well and wear contacts but I am lazy sometimes just to see how it affects my game)

Also here's a quote from his blog-

"Before I move on, let's talk about who the numbers game is not for. It's not for unattractive or average looking guys. The number of women that you would have to approach before getting a lay wouldn't be worth it, especially when considering that the lay probably wouldn't even be a quality lay. And when you have to approach 100+ women before getting a lay, with a girl that isn't even a quality girl, then that would just be too much damage to your ego and too time consuming."

I'm glad I didn't listen to this guy. People think game should come easy when you work for it like anything else. If it were easy every guy would be swimming in pussy. Also, preserving your ego hurts your game. Immunity to rejection is what we average looking guys gain from the game. When you don't give a shit if a girls gonna reject you your game is 100 times sharper. The best way to build this is by hundreds of rejections(from cold approach). Your strategy does not allow this and thus doesn't give you the positive effects of hundreds of rejections. Failure drives learning in game. That's how your mind truly learns lessons.

This sort of game only works if you have been getting sex all your life. Even then the guy still cold approaches despite what you say. The girls might give him IOI's or whatever but I can see from his blog posts that he does approach quite a bit.

I don't plan on designing any social circles.


Fair Enough.

Cold approaching is also not the only way to get laid (I haven't even mentioned the dismal success rate).

Its not, but when you are traveling or in a new city or in a club by yourself it is. Unless you mean Warm approaches which is simply inconsistent and depending on the girl.


Quote:Quote:

You don't have to.

How do you plan on dating non-American immigrant women if you aren't in their social circle or know them somehow? I highly doubt there are gonna many of those girls in college or grad school.
Your social connections will determine your options, while my options consist of all women in the city or location I'm at. Even if a girl gives you IOIs how do you know you're going to approach unless you've done it many times before. AA is going to be a huge problem if you depend on girls to give you IOIs before you chat to them.

Quote:Quote:

Integration within a good social circle can give you broader access to girls outside of it as well, depending on your environment.

Some social circles are also large enough that "small pools" are not a problem.

Thats true, however it still limits you. If you are in Law School you're not going to find good looking feminine women even if you are in a great social circle. The ones you do find will be in massive demand. Its a reactive strategy instead of a proactive one. There are too many outside factors that affect your options.

[quote]1. I'm in college now.
2. I'm probably going to grad school(college again, albeit slightly different).
3. I leave grad school in my late 20's. 30's(and the status you're talking about) is right around the corner.

1. You have told us on this board that your college is horrible for meeting women. You say a 6 or 7 is treated like a princess there.
2. Grad school may be as bad or worse.
3. You're finally getting great women in your 30s because of your high status career(Which is again speculation).
I'll be getting the same calibre women by the time I hit 20(probably younger women though) looking at the rapid pace of improvement I'm showing.

I want to spend time on the forum. I derive some enjoyment from the discourse here, and plenty more from the other things I do in the day(work out, write, read, etc). These things are worthwhile and pleasing to me.
ROI, therefore, is positive.

I do not want to run around cold approaching random women. I derive no enjoyment from it, and it has very little benefit for me. It requires a significant investment with little tangible gain. I've done it before-it does not fit me or my personality.
ROI, therefore, is negative.

When my ROI is negative, I don't do it.

That's not a very good ROI in my estimation.

I look at it as "boring hard work"...because it is boring hard work, at least in my mind. When I do boring hard work, I usually have a pretty solid ROI in mind. The investment you make to force yourself into "boring hard work" is fine when you can expect a solid return.
That's not the case here, so its not getting done.

1. I am a risk-averse individual, and a roughly 60%(or "slight") introvert. I like stability. When I "push my comfort zone", it is because I a) have absolutely no choice or b) am facing the reception of a very high tangible (note: that means something concrete, not any fluff about "feelings" and "expanding personality") return for the investment.

The prospect of cold-approaching hundreds of random women offers neither of these things. Hence, I don't bother.

Precisely.

I spend a lot of time online and am(by my own admission) a relatively reserved, nerdy intellectual. I like academics, and they like me.

I was also a running back at a Division One school. You'd be surprised if you saw me in person. I do not look anything like the early visual impression those traits would likely give you.

I am attractive. Most of the girls I have had (and they were attractive) have come to me.

My problem was that for most of my life I was an earth-shatteringly pathetic beta (literally the largest chump you've ever seen), so I easily fucked up sure things.

My recent study of game (both here and on other sites) has mitigated this problem.

Quote:Quote:

You must create attraction. I will, in quite a few cases, already have it. My job is simply not to fuck up(which, as I mentioned, I usually did for most of my life).

I like positive ROIs.

I'm sorry to be blunt, but that's just daft.

Make yourself as attractive as you can be at all times. If you can afford to purchase and throw on better clothes, then wear them. If you can lift more, do it. If you can find a better t-shirt or get rid of your specs, do it.

The only thing you accomplish by not doing this is making things harder for yourself than they actually need to be, and lowering your ROI. There's no benefit to this-it isn't rational.

Pussy is not a rare commodity.

Every man needs to repeat this to himself everyday!

As far as focusing on your education and getting a career, it really depends on what you make of it. If it's something you're really passionate about and really like it, then why not treat it as a hobby? Let's take a hypothetical example. Let's say that you do attain a high education and manage to snag a high-paying job, but are not satisfied and/or do not get enough free time.

Let's say that your salary is $100,000. To simplify things, let's say that this is after taxes. Now, I'm a firm believer in saving money, so having your basic necessities met and living a comfortable middle-class lifestyle (about $50,000), let's say that you decide to live modestly and save $50,000 per year. Also, the money that is saved can be put somewhere where it accrues interest. If you have at this strategy for just five years, you will end up with $250,000 plus interest. This is more than enough to comfortably and retire in your desired foreign country. Just by working a few years and making smart decisions, you will have the lifestyle you want in country X. For other guys making between $40,000-$60,000 per year, most of that is going to be burned through living expenses and other costs. They're not going to be able to save much, if any, money as the first guy. Also, other guys, if they don't have any other income sources, are going to have a harder and longer time saving up money for living the lifestyle they want in country X. This is ultimately where guys (like Athlone) who focused on building wealth win out. Yes, they work hard and invest a helluva lot, but a few years of work and smart money decisions and they've got it pretty much made.

Again, this depends on a lot of factors and is just something for thought--a blueprint really.

Furthermore, who says you can't study/work and also enjoy women? You have to go to the grocery store for food, right? Day game! Duh! You meet women through your social cirlce at school/work/living quarters? Social circle game! Work at a busy hospital? Hospital Game! (Nurses.) Online dating can also be another option; it doesn't require that much time.

The best thing is to just find a balance between money and women. Make enough money, but make sure it's going to pay off and that you'll have the time to enjoy it.

Hello.

If you're a white male: Peru, The Philippines, and Thailand should be on top of your list for women with a good ROI who can easily be met without direct pay.

If you're black: Scandinavia, Australia and The Philippines. Also consider parts of the American midwest, particularly the Dakotas if you can get there. I recommend the same for tan/darker Latinos.

If you're asian: Eastern Europe and perhaps Scandinavia. The Phillipines can also be a good option.

Note that these are rough guidelines. He'll have to do some investigation(read the travel forum here and other sites) in order to make things work and find his ideal destinations. Fortunately, there is a lot of info out there at his disposal.

The bottomline, however, is that he needs to get on a plane to maximize his ROI while avoiding direct pay(and absent of any fame/wealth to compensate).

3. Make sure you build a solid financial foundation for yourself in order to fund all of this. Wealth is your key. If you can work your way into a solid, well paying profession(or the military, which is always an option), do it.
Education is important.

4. Study the basics of game/evo-psych so you can better identify and eliminate your most glaring errors. Again, an immersion in the teachings Leykis and Roissy will make this easier for you.

That's what I would say to start. I'd probably give him a few more specific links via PM as well.

Before I respond, I would like to offer a disclaimer. At no time do I mean any disrespect. For all I know, you could be swimming in punani. So anything I spit out is not a direct attack on your character but on the theories you spit out.

So let me continue.

Traveling costs money. At 20 years old (as you build up your financial foundation either by working or by running a business), how many times can one travel in a year and for how long can that person be in that ideal destination for?

Let's say one is able to travel three times a year for 2 weeks at a time in which that individual is able to fcuk their brains out.

First of all, you factor in cost. You factor in the cost of being away for that time because I don't know many jobs in North America that afford a person six weeks vacation a year so let's assume you are forking out your own weekly wage since you are only allocated maybe four weeks vac a year (and I am being generous).

So if you are being paid 40 bucks an hour and you work a 40 hour week you used two weeks of your own pay to fund your vacation, having exceeded your allocated four weeks by two weeks.
So that's 3200 dollars that you have paid for that year.

Next, you factor in flights. You fly to Western Europe (I'm not sure of ticket price, it's been ages since I went but let's allocate 800 dollars for a return ticket.

You are up to 4000 dollars so far. Now you factor in hotel prices. Again, I am being very modest here so let's say for the two weeks, you factor in 60 bucks a night for a decent hotel.

That's 840 dollars plus 4000 dollars which is almost 5 grand (4840 to be exact).
That takes care of accomodation.

Now you have to eat. Let's say you put aside 20 dollars a day, if you have change from that, whooptie but just so that you are not tightening belts, 20 bucks should cover you for at least three meals a day. You can throw the change in to cover snacks during the day.

Again, that's 60 bucks a day times 2 weeks. You again are now up to 840 dollars.
Add that to the running total and you have 5680 dollars.

Now, what about them lizards?

You don't like cold approach but how will you get them in a foreign country where you don't know anyone?

You can either:

1) Join a social club and hope that your technique is able to land you something in your two week stay
2) Cold approach, hit some clubs (run some game !!!)
3) Pay for that shyt.

What's the going rate in Scandinavia for escorts? Let's be very modest and say 40 bucks will get you an 8.

How many times will you want to hit that in the two weeks? Let's say three times a week which equals 240 dollars total.

Add that to the running tally and you got 5920 dollars.

Thus, at the very minimum, you have spent 5920 dollars a pop to get foreign pussy in a foreign country.

This assumes that apart from eating, you do not travel around the country and apart from fcuking, you just stay in your hotel room and wait for the day you can go out and solicit your tart.

But wait! Maybe you think that going out to another country for two weeks is excessive and you only need one week (anything less is a waste of time).

And let's say that getting 40 bucks an hour for a young male is unrealistic.
Let's get a little more modest. Let's say he works at T-mobile and gets 20 dollars an hour.

So let's recalculate.

A male makes 20 bucks an hour, will only travel for one week to the foreign countries. If he only travels twice a year, that's not good return on travelling at all (since according to you, that will be his only source of diversified pum pum).

So we will assume it is still three times a year but he only needs one week at a pop.

Let's now assume that he is given 3 weeks vacation a year (I don't know if this is true in America but again I'm erring on the side of generosity).

Since he only travels 3 times a year, a week at a time, he loses no money funding his own vac time.

Back to the flights. Western Europe. 800 dollars for a return (I assume he lives on the East coast region because flights will probably be more expensive if he is flying from the western region i.e texas, california etc).

800 dollars + 420 dollars for the one week stay (at a generous hotel rate of 60 bucks a night).
Running total = 1220 dollars.

Add meals at 20 dollars a meal x 3 incl snacks. That's 420 for the week for food.
Running total = 1640 dollars.

He pays for the escort (an 8). He gets a deal at 40 bucks a pop. He wants to hit a ho at least 3 times a week (anything less is a waste of time to travel for 8 hours).
That's 120 in ho money for the week.
Running total = 1760 dollars.

If you factor in the fact that he may want to actually go out and mingle, travel (cabs, buses, museums or whatever), throw in another 150 (being very modest) for the week to cover loose ends.

That's 1910 dollars (almost 2 grand).
Let's round that up to 2 grand. Rinse and repeat x 2.

So that's 6 grand a year for a guy to travel to another country to pay for an escort.

Since you mentioned that they won't have to pay directly if they travel then we have to factor in the cost of wining, the admission fees to whichever venue you go to meet them.
I don't believe that in these Scandinavian or Asian countries, you can take a woman to your bedroom without courting her (even if it is slightly).

You don't just pop out of your hotel room, see a dime and say "Hey blondie, come into my room and see what I brought from America for you"

If that's how it works, maybe I need to book a ticket [Image: banana.gif]

You still need game. Game is just the modern day term for courting.

So subtract the cost of escorts and add the cost of going out and gaming (courting) easier foreign lizards.

So now you have advised a young man to spend 2K a shot to go somewhere where he has to use game..anyway?

This ROI thing is all about perspective. If game becomes you, it will become as easy as speaking your first language.

Game as you go. If it becomes as easy as sleeping when you are tired, pussy will start to mature and you won't even see it as an effort.

It's a learning process. A friend of mine doesn't like speaking English too much because his head hurts after a bit (he finds English hard because right now, he is in the conscious process of translating words).

If he had taken the time to immerse himself with English speakers and not his own peeps, he would have actualized the process of English and wouldn't need to strain himself.

I feel the same way when I speak French (my level is higher basic). When around French speakers, after an hour, my head hurts because I am translating every single word consciously. Initially, French was difficult and foreign to me.
I initially studied a lot of theory and read a lot of books, listened to audio and was reluctant to mingle with French speakers (since I find many French people to be rather arrogant when speaking with Anglophones who are attempting to learn their language).

However, by immersion, my language acquisition rose in leaps and bounds each time.

That's the quickest and most effective way to acquire language.

Going out on the field will initially prove to be awkward and difficult. But it is the quickest and most effective way to acquire game.

The point is, the initial immersion will prove difficult and tedious. Every initial step will be painful and plodding. After a while, the act of processing (gaming) will be as natural as throwing and catching a football.

Did you learn how to play football for a D1 school by just studying theory and playing within your comfort zone? Or did you learn more when in trying situations against bigger and stronger strangers and getting slammed to the ground several times?

Having the principles are important as guidelines but you still must go on the field to actualise them so that implementation becomes as casual as farting when you have gas.



You are quoting these countries for males of a particular look to travel to but you have never actually gone there yourself. How do you know for yourself whether it is hogwash or not?
How do you personally know that white females throw themselves at the feet of darker skinned males in Dakota?

Are you basing it entirely on what others say? The guys that usually travel have game (to some degree). They may exude certain qualities that they are not even aware of, so when you couple that to their exotic factor, slaying these out of town lizards is like taking sweets from a child.

But do you think this guy will fare the same in Dakota as International Swagger or Deebo without game?

Heterosexual males need pussy. We can sublimate all we want but once you control that spectrum, you control one of the core things that has toppled many a great man. Not all women are available for direct purchase.

What if you are focused on your paper, we are conducting a business deal and I bring in a business partner of mine who is drop dead gorgeous. She earns fat stacks so your direct offer of money to fcuk is not applicable to her. She, however, is always susceptible to game.

Because you have disregarded game, you will merely look at her and you will be thrown off your work because you are not accustomed to controlling the signals that women consciously and unconsciously throw when they are gaming men.

What is game? It is a deeper understanding of the psychological principles that govern women. It is being able to recognise subtle signals in seconds and act on them and disregarding attention whores on both a major and a minor level.

I don't care how logical you seem or how invested you are in ROI, you are still a human at the end of the day.

If buying pussy is going to be your forte, then you will be a trick and golddiggers will get you sooner or later.

Your emotional state will not be prepared for when you are being tricked (since you have not exposed it enough) and you will rationalise when you are put into a trick basket or a save-a-ho situation.

Why not lay a 9 leveraging 35 bucks (as in going out on a date or the cost to buy the ingredients for a lobster dinner at your condo) and as opposed to paying directly for it at 200 dollars?

You talk about ROI. When you acquire game then you open up channels that put you onto different things. The lizards will actually enjoy being around you and put you onto business opportunities as a reward for you making them feel good and laying that pipe.

For instance, I don't consider myself a gamer by any means but I know women that have put me up in times of need, helped me out with money loans, put me onto business opportunities etc.

Once they know you as Mr Pay for it, they will just look for other ways to tap your pockets (bring other 9's around who can help you trick off your money).

It's similar to the Deniro character in Casino. He loved Ginger and paid for everything only to have her trick off HIS paper to her weak ass pimp.

You might say that won't happen to me but it's easy to be an armchair expert.

Get out in the field and meet a gorgeous dime piece and I guarantee it won't be as cut and dry as you make it out to be.

You say you know about failure but in regards to becoming better at interacting with women on a sexual level, how else do you plan to improve without going out on the field until you improve your financial status?

Not everyone can afford or has the time to travel but everyone can surely begin to work with the fodder in their very city by gaming them.

Not gonna argue the other points since we both are set in our views.
However this caught me

" I am a risk-averse individual, and a roughly 60%(or "slight") introvert. I like stability. When I "push my comfort zone", it is because I a) have absolutely no choice or b) am facing the reception of a very high tangible (note: that means something concrete, not any fluff about "feelings" and "expanding personality") return for the investment."

Your personality is the result of a bunch of arbitrary factors you had no control over when growing up. I was much more risk averse than you a couple of years ago. You can shape your personality however you want.

Instead of addressing your points I'm going to use your markers. Basically what gives you the most output for the least effort.

Changing your personality to an extrovert who is more willing to take risks and push his comfort zone would result in a higher ROI in most aspects of your life. Entrepreneurs are known to be risk takers. After all, you need to be able to take risks to make any business work. You need to go way out of your comfort zone to do that. Your ROI will be high for that, because of your high intelligence and all around qualities(your athleticism). You have excellent analysis skills and ability to argue. All of these are markers of people who are able to make their own livelihood without having to be corporate slave and working very long hours. The Tim Ferris' of the world always think outside the box and try new exciting things that may be very risky.

Risk takers and extroverts also attract more women. Combined with your good looks you'd be getting a lot more pussy thrown at you. This won't hurt your chances with women. You'll also enjoy approaching women and be more aggressive.

An introvert personality gives a worse ROI since risk taking is a highly productive trait for humans.

Changing your personality is to your benefit and gives a high ROI. More pussy and more money(with less time spent).
Why not do it? I'm glad I did.

This is all a great hypothetical, but it has little practical value.

There are a myriad of factors that could affect the 21 year old individual in question.

1. He doesn't have to go to Europe.
2. He could travel in a cheaper country.
3. He could take mini-vacations or mini-retirements(something dudes on the forum do here all the time) after a couple years of work.
4. He could attempt to work overseas if he really wants to go there(though this would require some extra schooling to do correctly)
5. He could wait a couple years in order to be on better financial footing(he'd still be out well before 30). He can take shorter trips(Latin America, Canada, etc) until then.

Me personally? I'd be warm approaching. In Europe that would be even easier than it is over here(the girls are better flirts, more open to African American men, more blatant eye-fucking, especially in Scandinavia). I look fairly good so I'm not anticipating an issue.

Others could pretty much do the same thing. If the guy in my scenario is less opposed to the cold approach than I am(it isn't for everyone, but it is enjoyed by some), then he can just do that I suppose.

I assumed that paying was not an option in this hypothetical.

Thus, at the very minimum, you have spent 5920 dollars a pop to get foreign pussy in a foreign country.

That conclusion is moot given the factors I listed above. Your scenario has many fluctuating factors that could easily move that price up or down. $6000 is not a "bare minimum" for a two week vacation somewhere else.

See variables I listed above.

Quote:Quote:

I thought that escorts were discounted in this scenario?

I don't believe that in these Scandinavian or Asian countries, you can take a woman to your bedroom without courting her (even if it is slightly).

Men who are much fatter, much uglier, and much older than our 21 year old hypothetical dude are regularly pulling cute girls(and I'm not just talking about prostitutes) in parts of Latin America, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia on pensions of a similar worth.

This isn't rocket science.

Gaming for a young white kid in Peru or the Philippines is not gaming at your local club in NYC.

You are attempting to equate scenarios that are far from equitable. He will have a far higher ROI in those foreign scenarios, and that is a fact. He'll be on a turkey shoot, especially if he has some basic understanding of game(far more naive young men have travelled and done well).

Quote:Quote:

I enjoy football. I also gained quite a bit of physical strength, contentment and social status from my time spent playing it.

ROI is positive.

I do not enjoy cold apporaching. It does not offer significant tangible benefits and is not a fit for my persona.

ROI is negative.

They are not comparable in my case.

Fortunately, there are plenty of good looking guys for whom the playing field will be more even.

If they're not there, then I will move along.

Pussy is not a rare commodity-there will be plenty more of her.

*Note: "Direct offer of money to fuck"? You think I'd run around throwing dollar bills at random attractive women I meet?

You think I'm that daft?

Quote:Quote:

1. I have disregarded cold approach game, which is not the only form of game out there.

2. You are certain I have no experience with female tricks/games how?

3. You are certain about my lack of focus and discipline (since you assume a woman can throw me off my work/livelihood with such ease) how, exactly?

That doesn't mean much. Humans are complex creatures with many very different profiles.
Our diversity is part of what makes us unique. It is also what makes your predictions for me relatively useless.

My logical approach may very well work for me, and to a large extent it already has . My being "human" does not necessarily preclude this and unless you can claim to have mastered human biology/psychology (along with a healthy understanding of our neurological processes), you simply have no basis to claim otherwise.

...because I've never dealt with an emotional vampire, groupies or golddiggers before.

Your argument is based purely on conjecture. You know nothing about me or my mental state(and thus nothing about my ability to deal with golddiggers), but you assume you do. You also(rather arrogantly) assume that only an individual with your mindset is equipped to handle certain challenges (ex: you can't avoid being captain save-a-ho without the cold approach!).

This is why we are never going to agree. I don't need to approach 1000 women to understand the importance of avoiding becoming captain save-a-ho and how to do it.

Quote:Quote:

Once they know you as Mr Pay for it, they will just look for other ways to tap your pockets (bring other 9's around who can help you trick off your money).

I don't think that this is entirely true either. I come from a long line of socially competent people who were, like myself, fairly quiet and fairly risk-averse.

I also come from a culture where it is ok to be that way. Extroversion is more popular in America-risk takers have higher status here, for better and for worse.

Quote:Quote:

1. One does not simply change who they fundamentally are.
2. Attempts to do so have an inherently poor ROI. I know this first hand.
3. There is nothing wrong with not being an extrovert.

Quote:Quote:

Entrepreneurs are known to be risk takers.

Who told you I wanted to be an entrepreneur?

I want to go into law. I come from a family filled with such people (we have a couple of businessmen, but relatively few-mostly lawyers, doctors and educators).

That is, contrary to what many seem to believe, completely ok.

My school is (along with a few others) ground zero for finance. In fact, I'd say that on a per-capita basis it has more clout on Wall Street than almost any other undergrad in the US. As an athlete here with a pretty decent GPA, I'd have a decent shot at a finance gig. I'm going into my junior year now, so all I'd need to do was go all in for an internship next summer.

Why would I pass that up?

1. I don't like numbers-my skill is in writing and textual analysis, skills I can't use at Goldman(unless I'm General Counsel or something).
2. I am a risk averse person, and the world of finance is all about risk.

Quote:Quote:

Your ROI will be high for that, because of your high intelligence and all around qualities(your athleticism). You have excellent analysis skills and ability to argue.

Skills that are far more useful in law than in business.

I'm sure that somewhere out there is a fairly risk-averse CEO whose managing style fits my own persona, but the bottomline is that my profile is that of a legal guy. I don't care to become a big time hedge funder (the holy grail of finance gigs)/entrepreneur/venture capitalist. Men who excel in those fields have profiles entirely dissimilar to my own.

Quote:Quote:

We need people like that. Their exciting new discoveries can benefit all of us, and have done so many times.

Your world also needs plenty of people like me. We keep everything running.

Quote:Quote:

Risk takers and extroverts also attract more women. Combined with your good looks you'd be getting a lot more pussy thrown at you. This won't hurt your chances with women. You'll also enjoy approaching women and be more aggressive.

I won't be myself, so I will not do particularly well with women in that scenario. If I cannot embrace and accept who I really am, then women will not do it either.

I am simply not a risk taker. It is not me. Any attempt to move away from this reality (and such attempts have been made) would be inherently disingenuous and fake (women can sense that) and would also be unsustainable. I'll never be able to truly enjoy it.

It also opens the door to a dangerous level of pedestalization-half of the reason for the shift would be (as it was in my experience earlier in life) for the sake of pussy. I would not be doing what works for me-rather, in such a scenario I am simply doing what other people tell me is popular on the off chance I might get more pussy as a bonus (note: Introversion is less of a detractor in other cultures. American women hate it more than many others).

That's not good game at all. And, ironically enough, realizing this has made me more attractive to women than before, when I was busy trying to meet a standard set by others for others (trying to be the super-social, outgoing, risk-taking extrovert I was not).

Why? I'm confident in who I am, not in what others tell me I should be. That's a lot sexier than trying to be someone else and letting society dictate my persona, looking about as awkward and out of place as a dolphin on the Alaskan tundra in the process.

I've written about this before, so I'll let the link do the rest of the talking.

One must embrace his own self before expecting others to do the same. That is my conclusion.

Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.

4. ROI for cold approaching is very high if we look at the long term. 1 or 2 years of it and you are better than 99 percent of guys out there. Its also a fun skill to learn and leads to many adventures. Its simply something I do to relax, instead of wasting time on video games. Looking at it as a business investment is the exact sort of mindset I avoid. It leads to insane stories and hilarious situation but the ROI is different for each person.

1. Time constrain. If you're going shopping (i.e. buy something specific and leave), then you're not going to approach. If you're going to approach, then you're not really going shopping, it is the same as you'd go to a club, with the same consequences (time).

4. ROI for cold approaching (when you approach) seems to be very low even for the most proficient players if we define success as "having sex with her the same day". Getting better than 99% of others is not even a goal, who cares about this? Most people are doing it to get laid, not to get better than other guys.

I know high profile lawyers and Engineering students who have time to go pickup chicks. You're looking at it as something boring and hard work, which it is if you are doing it by yourself for the first few months. Right now cold approach is just insanely fun.

It is personality and culture. To me, for example, cold approach is boring and hard work because of the way I am - this is not something culturally acceptable in where I am from. I am not complaining about it - life isn't fair, some people get it easier, some get it harder - but I'm definitely sure it will never be fun for me, especially "insanely fun".

Think of it this way: I'm sure I completely suck in curling. If I start "playing" it, would I be better in it? Sure. Could I get it to the top and make a lot of money? In theory this is possible. But would I ever enjoy it? Nope, I'd still consider it moronic activity.

I think it all comes down to how much you spend. I stayed in DR for two months and i spent 3000 dollars for both months and i literally done anything i wanted, so thats 1500 dollars per month.

The first obvious question, of course, is whether you can make 60K a year in DR?

I could even live good with 60.000 per year in New York, in London when i was making 20,000 dollars per year, i was living like a king (my friends thought i won the lottery, seriously), i was travelling whenever i felt like travelling, used first class flights few times (well the first class flights i didnt buy from a legit source), had money to afford good hostels, partied hard in the places that i went and had lots of free time.

Are you talking about 60K USD or 60K GBP? Net or gross?
I'd ask locals for the info, but living good in NYC for 60K a year sounds quite difficult for me.

If i save 500k, i would be able to make 60k per year but i would have to be travelling around, i cant just sit in DR and thats what im not planning to do anyway (just stay in DR and do nothing else).

I am talking 60k USD net..as i said, it depends on how you define living good, London has similar life cost comparing to NYC, so i know 60k per year for me will be fine if i was looking to live a normal lifestyle where i could travel around the world whenever i felt like. However i want a lot more money.

Well, Brazil is about to become one of the bigger oil producers on Earth. Its political clout, already strong, is only going to grow as America starts looking for new, stable sources of energy. How this new oil wealth will be divided is still up for debate, but regardless of the particulars, Brazil will without a doubt become much richer.

As if this wasn't enough, you now also have the World Cup coming to Rio in 2014. Brazil is going through a consumer spending boom right now, which some estimate might be a bubble, but in either case the place is set for a rapid rise. They're building nuclear subs, their auto industry is booming, construction for the world cup is expanding, oil is coming, and even the perennially unstable, debt-ridden football teams are cashing in. The prosperity is touching everything.

I give it until 2020, maybe earlier. Brazil will still be a fun place to visit, but it won't be nearly as cheap. Rio de Janeiro gets the lions share of oil royalties, far more than other states(about 80% of the total), and the World Cup is going to be there. Wave goodbye to affordable Rio-it was already getting pretty pricy compared to previous decades, and it is probably going to get a lot more expensive as oil wealth flows in.

The oil might not touch some other lesser-known parts of the country quite as much(most states won't see any oil royalties at all), so good values may still be found there for the young traveler(if you know Portuguese, of course). But the days of ballin in Rio on a budget will soon come to an end, I suspect.

Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.

Are you sure? Since you're talking 60K net, and investments are taxed, you'd need at least a 20% guaranteed return every year to make it.

Yes, but my point is that the "overcoming" is already starting and progressing in earnest. I expect the Brazil of 2020 to look significantly different in terms of value from the one we know today.

Like I said: no more cheap ballin in Rio.

warm approach is the same thing as a cold approach

there's three ways to classify meeting women:

1. meet through friends, work, or some activity

2. talk to her as a stranger

3. she talks to you as a stranger


IOI's are bullshit. some girls who were really into me never displayed any strong IOI's. I just talked to them and their interest was appearent. the number one factor in my approaches is if I was into her. if my desire is strong I approach and give it a good try.

so I do not believe there is any meaningful difference between cold/warm approaches, the bottom line is that you still talk to her as a stranger.

so, without arguing about nomenclature, we can conclude that athlone does cold approaches, but he misses opprotunties because of his relience on unreliable IOI's.

Exactly, Waiting for a girl to eyefuck is unreliable. Different cultures signal interest differently. For example its rare for a girl in the daytime to look a guy in the eye in Toronto.

Warm approaches work best when girls have alcohol in them or in social circles. Or in places like Fargo.
