Girls (and sometimes guys) tell me they feel they peaked in high school or college, and it’s been downhill since. Or at 24 they were at their peak. I don’t know what they’re talking about. Every year keeps getting better than the last.
2017 was my best year ever. Let’s work hard to make sure 2018 will be just as good.
My 2017 Year in Review
The Bright Spots:
-The remote teaching gig I had went great, I got to live in Mexico for 4 months in seven cities across the country.
-It’s ending with a consistent girl, which has always been an elusive goal of mine (I met her at a bar during Halloween)
-Dressing better on account of buying two new blazers and a nice white shirt (thanks Laner)
-Published a book. It’s on dating! Geared for beginners, but applicable to all guys. PM me if you want a link.
-Finished the film I’d been working on for 3.5 years, it premiered in Los Angeles.
The Tough Spots:
-Didn’t see many big gains at the gym, despite going 3x/week fairly consistently (I think I know the reason and I’m working on fixing it)
-October was terrible. Every girl I’d been working on ghosted, with no prospects in sight.
-Got so painfully close to banging an 8, a blonde, she gave me head in her car on our 2nd date, almost came into my house, then she ghosted for good.
-Made an insane amount of college campus approaches in the States, but only banged a girl I met the first day of approaching. A lot of effort, with very little to show from it.
-Overall very little traction with online dating sans one girl, despite getting some professional photos taken.
-Writing: didn’t do as much as I would have liked. I lacked the discipline to accomplish what I’d hoped to this year.
Game Goals and Highlights:
Accomplished some goals I set at the end of 2015, it took over 15 months for one, and 23 months for the other.
-Finally banged a mom with a kid (actually two girls this year had kids)
-Finally banged an 18-year old (I was 29)
-Banged a Mexican 19-year old. That was my best bang of this year.
-At least two 20-year olds (both in the States, not in Mexico)
-At least two 21-year olds
-Banged 23 girls this year
-5 nights of bangs in a row in Playa del Carmen, including one of those catches at 4:30 am the last night I was there.
-First online game bang (this was the 18-year old)
-First same-day bang on a day approach (in Mexico, on Valentine’s Day, with a girl who hated Valentine’s Day).
This year I met: JohnKreese, AneroidOcean, Kaotic, RhymeorReason, Spider, Bluemark. Wish I had a chance to meet more of you.
Where do I go from here?
I’m at a crossroads. Three-and-a-half years ago, all I wanted was to have sex. I hadn’t been laid in three-and-a-half years at that point. I quit my job, sold almost all my stuff, and moved across the country in pursuit of that goal, among others. While it’s still effort and hard work to get laid with new girls, it’s no longer an existential challenge. I’ve conquered it. There’s always more pussy, and hotter pussy, but at some point you have to say, what next? For the first time upon starting this journey, I’m not clear I know.
Best of RVF:
Favorite piece on RVF from this year:
the Thing – “Business Career Coaches HATE HIM - RVF Member Discovers ONE WEIRD TRICK to Career Improvement” (technically from last year, but I saw it in January) thread-58912.html. One of the funniest things I've read here.
Runner up:
Hyyish “I got arrested in Laos for banging a girl in public BDSM style”. thread-62269.html. I laughed uncontrollably at “I knew at that time it was just a recipe for some dish with fish in it”
Book Recommendations:
-Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging, by Sebastian Junger. Probably the most important book I’ve read of late to understand society, politics, humanity, and the little I can hope to understand about war and crisis, not having been subjected to it.
-Sex at Dawn, by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá
-Superforecasting, By Philip Tetlock and Dan Gardner.
-The Millionaire Fastlane. By MJ DeMarco.
If you have any other book recommendations, I’m interested in reading more fiction.
Finally, I never got a chance to properly thank Roosh on here. His book, “Day Bang”, and this forum changed my life. Thanks dude.
