It's getting late, you're at a bar, in a sea of fives. At what point do you drop the rating system?
I don't. Go home and jack off.
This dropping of ratings/standards is precisely the reason pudgy fives are getting such big heads-decent looking but desperate guys are feeding their egos. It is counter-productive.
Yes, but this is a just-in-case I guess. Ideally, I want to be surrounded by 9s. But, more often than not, I end up at a bar w/out them, or don't yet have the game for them. At the end of the night, I'm like "what if I don't wake up tomorrow?" and then I go for broke. Maybe that's defeatist. I wonder how much the act of holding out can really help your game.
I believe it comes to down to being unrestrained in all your actions. This is alpha freedom. Yes, maybe it's stupid to be in a sea of fives, but it might be even more a masturbation to hold out.
Dealing with this inner game/subconcious shit is what I'm concerned with. Is inner-game BS?
