Watched most of new content form youtube and read everything on forum.
Keeping up with the stuff. Things are becoming relatively repetitive everywhere from TRP on reddit to YouTube red pill channels, etc....

I agree. But what are examples of new stuff you've learnt then?

Some of the huge epiphanies that I had are as follows.
Really they are just small thoughts, but over time they really make my reality and philosophies concrete.

1. One of my venture capital / entrepreneur class had a speaker doing 8 figures in sales. The guy was doing a cleaning service inside of building, but the money that he was making was respectable. He had a lot of setbacks.
For example, his business partner lied to him that everything was fine when he was into heavy drinking, doing drugs, in massive debt...The entrepreneur didn't vet the guy well enough initially. He said that was his biggest mistake and he should have vetted him more. Another mistake is not hiring the "right" people and new employees have lied to his face and have stole 100k, 250k from his business and many other smaller frauds.
He now spends at least 30minutes interviewing a new employee himself and spends 3 months for branch managers.
2. Realizing that the guy that I thought was super popular and had "game" only had 12~15 lays. I thought this dude had 50+ lays because of the social proof and pre-selection he was displaying in class and on social media.
- Realizing that around 10~20 lays before graduating college is putting yourself in the top 20%...
3. Standing up for myself.
a. Teacher put me in a group of 4 people. I told her straight up during class when she was explaining the project that this is unfair because other groups have 5 people and this means that my group members have to put in more effort/time compared to other members in different groups.
*She made it easier on us for grading.
b. This dude cut me in the cafeteria line. Got food. I told him straight up.
"Hey, man. Don't cut in front of me. You can't do that."
He tries to BS the situation, "I am not cutting you, I was just about to get some of this dish."
Me: "Yeah, dude same shit. I push his shoulder and he almost hit the woman next to him who was couple feet away." <- I don't recommend doing this tbh, but he came back to me and apologized couple times.
4. Really thinking that logistics, status, money is FUCKING EVERYTHING.
ex. Tai Lopez, Hugh Hefner, Dan Bilzerian, Lunatic Living, Vegas Dave, Leonardo Dicaprio, RSD Luke...
You name it. You want that 9s and 10s consistently? You gotta have the status, money and a baller house...
I was pretty delusional, but really cementing this FACT to my brain this quarter and changed my philosophy early last year.
(If anybody disagrees, that's cool. You do you.)
5. Humility comes naturally when you have self-confidence because you don't have to prove anything to anyone.
6. Recession is coming within next few years. We didn't have a huge hit since 2008 and normally a recession comes around every 5~10 years.
Reframe this situation from negative to positive. Time to buy low, sell high.
7. Professors are professors because they are not risk-takers and suck at actually doing the job. They tend to have bad social skills compare to others, they would not have made partners at a accounting firm, investment banking firm or a law firm. Most of them are insecure, too self-conscious, weak-minded. I am starting to see through their veil. If they know everything, they would have went out and actually made a successful business. Theory =/= Experience.
8. If you are bitter from approaching a lot, take some time from gaming.
It will reduce your bitterness and improve your game actually when you come back. You can also just approach girls who give you iois or approach invitations.
9. "Friends are waste of time."
- Ben Shapiro
10. "I never took a day off in my 20s. Not one."
- Bill Gates
11. "It's okay to fake it till you make it if you actually make it"
12. When people say that you are over-analyzing things, it's actually themselves projecting that they are almost sociopath and they don't understand the small nuances of social dynamics. Drop those guys from your social circle. Bad vibes.
13. 2003~2013. 70% of fortune 1000 companies have either been acquired, merged or most of them just died. Calibrating to the market, following the customer's demand is SUPER IMPORTANT. Same thing when gaming. Calibrate to the girl.
14. Jeff Bezos put in a quarter mil into Google in 1998. Now that is worth 3 bil.
15. People should be open-minded, but being too open-minded can hurt you as you don't have your own self-identity and philosophies. It's like a parachute, it should be opened, but if it opens all the way, it won't capture the air, you will fall to the ground and die.
- Grant Cardone
16. "When people say that they love working for their company that they are in, it's BS because if they actually loved it, they would work for free."
- Phd in Management professor. LOL.
17. Don't listen to someone's advice when they don't have to face the consequences.
- Mark Cuban
18. Elon Musks company, Tesla was actually found couple decades ago. He is looking 20, 30+ years into the future.

Not sure how much business knowledge you have, but just a lot of business epiphanies and nuances, but those are some general thoughts that I have in my notes from Q1 of 2018. Just my 2c.

Great post! It was a very interesting read because some of those points are red pills I'm in the process of swallowing myself and it sounds like you got the right mindset.

[Nick98]

My Goals for 2018:
1- Approach girls
2- Have at least a date with 5 different girls
3- Getting in a relationship for the first time
4-Going to atleast 5 concerts with a girl
Outside of game:
1-Hit the gym
2-Reduce Smoking by 50%
3-Getting my 2nd job ever
4-Travel to 2 places I’ve never visited.
5-Not Failing Courses in uni

[RexImperator]

I'd like to go on a date with an attractive girl. I wonder what that would be like.

[kirdiesel]

Last quarter fellas. How are you all doing on your goals?

I got my strategy dialed in but haven’t fully executed yet. Still having trouble with focus and motivation.

However, while in NYC on vacation this summer I bought a tripod my for iPhone and went to work on taking new pictures for Tinder and my matches since then have bumped up a good amount. I am consistently matching girls now but not of the level I can pull in person through nightgame.

Online in Germany I am pulling 6s consistently and 7s once in a while. I can match an 8 rarely but ONLY in the Netherlands.

Most girls I’ve been meeting up with say that I look much better in person than in the photos which means I still got work to do.

The Tinder thread is full of gems on how to figure out a formula to weed out time wasters and get moving towards a date. This has also helped greatly.

I’ve signed up for a year at the gym recently to really try and get my body fat down so I can take some model type topless photos which I think will be a game changer.

Another area which I have seen tons of progress in is frame. Years ago I used to let women emotionally affect me (and showing it) and still to some effect I still have it but its been reduced greatly. I got a plate who has repeatedly challenged me frame and every time I beat her back. This also applies to my dating as well. I gotta credit AMS who has really changed my life as far as game goes.

I haven’t closed a ton of girls this year as I’ve had a plate/LTR forever but goddamn am I getting myself together game wise. Even though I’m in hell hole Germany I’m feeling the strongest I ever have in a long time again due to the forums Tinder tips and AMS’ daily videos.



There’s still lots of work to be done but I really feel like if I work hard now my ultimate game goals are in reach.

[solitaire games]

My game goal I aimed of 2018 was to finally bribe my brother in Solitaire. Unfortunately, I have to say that this has not happened yet ... He is 3 years older than me and has only this lead. But brother played a lot solitaire in his childhood. He probably trains constantly in the browser. I also play here solitaire online, but I never get as many points as he does.

[bgbusiness]

First week of Q4 is over...

So far doing great for this year. Of course, there is room for improvement, but I am pretty fucking satisfied.
Got rid of all negative friends. Killed in school in spring. Had a sick summer job. Read about dozen of books this year alone excluding school materials. If I include school, it's probably same amount as 50books.

Finished up second week of new job. I am on the fast-track to get promoted and will be doing almost 70k starting next year. Started investing in cryptocurrency, will start stocks by the end of this year.
During next year, I should have couple properties at least...

Met several wings already in the new city and having great sessions with new wings.
My goals in life and in dating are becoming more concrete day by day, giving me clarity in my vision.

[Player_1337]

First half of the year was more successful. One college girl I banged in January is still in my rotation (see her almost weekly). Same goes for a chick I had over fresh direct in May and is still going strong (she's bringing me back gifts from her vacation). Had an insane, ongoing romp with a hyper-sexual summer intern but she's back at college now. Keeps begging me to visit her.

Other bangs included roughly eight same day lays but most ghosted after likely to feeling slutty (even after dominating and dicking them down properly, plus taking the necessary post-bang precautionary measures to soothe the hamster).

August to mid-October has been kind of bizarre. All meets with online girls which likely explains the highly erratic behavior.
Out of my last nine dates, four resulted in sex. Three were one night stands (all were very compliant, and came straight to mine with no fuss. One night of sex is likely all they were seeking):
- Two were warm and fucked all night, but ghosted after.
- The other sent lame excuse when I reached out to meet up again.

The other girl is freaky and just wants me to expose her to bdsm. She's come over three times now for kinky sex and leaves after. I can tell she's starting to get attached.

The others were all first date fizzles:
- Solid chemistry and banter. Got her back to my place but she wouldn't go beyond making out. She was probably afraid of being pumped and dumped. Not worth pursuing again.
- Was decent but then flatlined. 'Hail Mary' to get her back to mine but she said we weren't 'vibing'/our values weren't aligned. Girl was nuts and in an 'open relationship'. Figured she could be fun for a wild ride in the sack.
- Girl was submissive and baked me a cake. We met at park near mine and I was planning to bounce her back to my pad to eat it. She was pre-occupied with other shit, had no sense of humor and acted very strange. Towards the end of the interaction found out she's a sub and into bdsm (needed to leverage this earlier and sexualize the convo). Lethargic texting since- lead is likely dead.
- We were supposed to meet near my pad, then walk over to drink and watch a movie. During the walk, girl was almost completely silent and blew me off after roughly 10-15 mins (bs saying she was tired and needed to go home).
- Decent chemistry and lasted a little less than an hour. When I made the invite back to my place (date was predicated on her coming to my place for new wine) she said she had to go home (soft next).

I currently have a rotation of 6-7 girls, but I still feel like the only time I'm successful is if the first date ends in sex. Most chicks tend to ghost if you don't do the deed date one, but I guess that's just the nature of the game these days.

My sex skills and post-bang etiquette are solid, but I probably need to work on calibration and also moving away from relying on online prospects.

I've learnt a lot in 2017 but haven't applied what i've learnt nearly enough, im gonna be as ambitious as possible, these are mine:
- Lose my virginity (before I turn 19)
- Have a notch count of at least 3 or over by the end of the year
- Convince a girl to give me a bj in my local library
- Start cold approaching girls on the street again
- Bang a girl on my upcoming trip to Turkey
- Improve my instagram plus snapchat game further
- Focus on obtaining fwb's rather than a ltr's
- Become more assertive and dominant in my game and eliminate my social anxiety
- Eliminate my old inner-beta

Non game related:
- Stop being broke and gain as much financial independence from my parents as possible.
- Pay off my overdraft
- Get a job
- Learn Spanish and visit a Spanish speaking country
- Continue to develop in the gym and go at least 4 times a week so I can become dencher and stronger both physically and mentally
- Play basketball more often (twice a week)
- Build a bigger social circle of friends at my university
- Become the best dressed person in the room and upgrade my wardrobe
- Grow full facial hair
- Quit porn and fapping altogether

How will I accomplish this?
- Stop being a pussy and get out of my comfort zone frequently
- Do more excercise
- Hang around with more like-minded people and build up friendships with my good friends so we can motivate eachother to achieve our goals.
- Improve my daily routine so that it benefits my overall productivity and health.

It's nearly time to end 2018 and I want to see if I stayed true to my word so here goes my reflection:

- I lost my virginity, although not before 19, for me this is the biggest success of the year.
- My notch count didn't surpass 3, it was 2. However, one was an LTR and I got a few hand jobs and blowjobs
- I did not get a bj in a local library - but I did in a local park and a toilet
- I cold approached girls, although not too frequently
- I got a few jobs, I am much more financially independent
- I grew my muscle in the gym, although not so consistently
- I did not bang a girl in Turkey
- My IG game grew way bigger
- I got into a long distance LTR which may have not been the best idea, however I do not regret all the experiences
- I for sure have become more dominant and confident in my game, it comes naturally much more now
- I matured a bit so my inner game is more composed

- I stopped being broke as hell, took life by the horns
- I paid off my debts
- I visited a Spanish speaking country, learnt beginners Spanish which opened many doors for me
- I played more basketball but not consistently
- My social circle of friends is bigger than ever before, even though I lost some old friends, for the better maybe
- My fashion has improved majorly
- I have still not grown full facial hair
- I still haven't quit porn but I cut down 50% from last year for sure

This year was a game changer. Too many highs and too many lows, for me there was nothing in-between.

How did you all do in 2018?

[Mig Picante]

Well done Mikestar, sounds like a great year!

Onto my 2018 goals:

1. Bang 15+ girls.
2. Date 100+ new girls, by date I mean meet up with for a 'date', not an approach.
3. Visit 3+ new countries.
4. Obtain 2+ new flags.
5. Completely give up porn, almost done this besides a few relapses this year, time for 0 relapses.
6. Try no fap for as long as possible.
7. Improve my online hustles and try starting a few of my own websites/blogs + general steps to trying to achieve full location independence.
8. Improve my fitness and overall health, this will be done by working out consistently and trying to eat a bit healthier.
9. Reach 2.5k+ subs on youtube. Currently at 1.3k so should be well doable.
10. Become conversational in Russian, I plan to complete the pimsleur course first and then move onto other resources. Also continue to improve my Polish.

I have a few more personal goals but those are my most important goals for 2018.

This is how I did with my 2018 goals:


1. Only managed 7 new bangs, last one was at the start of September. Was very ill for about 6 weeks after that so it screwed up my plans for the rest of the year and also killed my motivation to game. Having said that I doubt I would've got to 15 anyway.
2. 35/100.
3. 0/3, didn't go anywhere new this year.
4. 1/2, Ukrainian flag.
5. Got through about a month before I cracked. I have had weeks without watching it then I'd typically watch it for a few days before another few weeks off. Its really crazy how porn effects your brain.
6. Same as above ^ although my opinion on nofap has changed a little. I'll only go nofap if i'm actually getting laid consistently (the whole point I guess).
7. This was by far the biggest success of the year. Made huge progress with my online hustles.
8. Fitness was OK until I got ill but still I wasn't consistent enough with working out/diet/getting enough calories. After being ill I couldn't work out or even eat at all sometimes so I lost weight and any gains I had made. Frustrating, but could've been allot worse in the end. My diet has improved and I've cut down on sugar/junk food allot this year. I feel allot better for it.
9. I'm currently just below 2k. Youtube decided to randomly demonetise my channel a few weeks ago so I'm not sure if I'll continue to put so much effort into my content. Although I don't do it for money it costs me money to make the content and knowing I cant make anything from it does kill my motivation slightly. Its possible their algorithm has just made a mistake and I'll be monetised again next month. We shall see.
10. Russian didn't really materialise. I keep having stages where I'll learn for a month then I'll take a month off. Which obviously isn't the way to study a language. I've been pretty consistent with my Polish, studying nearly every day for 15 minutes. It helps that I spend most of my time there so I actually get to use it every day.

I stopped posting on RVF a couple of years ago when I got my girl pregnant and got married.

Divorce is almost finalized and will be 100% free in a few more months. So I won't have all of 2018 to work on game. But my goals are:

Get back to pre-LTR level of approach reluctance (lack thereof)

Get back to pre-LTR lay #'s average of 1 new. notch per month (at least)

Indirectly game-related:

Travel to Brazil

Travel to Mexico

So my ex moved away approximately one year ago, in 2018. Here's a quick recap for how the year went.

I did get close to that pre-LTR level of cold approaching. And I WAS on track to be getting one new notch per month. From April-July of 2018 I got 4 new notches, and then...The 3rd notch became my LTR. I got side pussy one two occasions throughout the LTR but wasn't approaching. She kept my balls empty like a good girl but had to drop her recently, so that ended at the beginning of April 2019. I seem to be on a cyclical cycle here with relationships.

Didn't travel to Mexico or Brazil, instead traveled to the middle east and the Caribbean.

Most importantly I've locked down two extremely valuable career prospects that I'll be closing in on in the next few months. All should work out to put me back in one of my old cities, a great college town, by the end of the year.

Overall 2018 was a success. Although I didn't get as many notches as I wanted, I fulfilled all of my sickest sexual fantasies with a sexy, submissive, 21-year-old Asian immigrant and had more amazing sex in 10 months of dating her than in my previous 2 years of marriage combined. I actually reached new heights of how good sex can actually be!

Looking forward to keep moving in the right direction. It's not about where you are presently, but what direction you are headed in.
