I've actually had this issue before. I have friends that set a minimum of sets to do per night. I personally can't do that. It makes it feel to me as you said, a chore. The main reason it feels as such is due to resistance. Ozzie just wrote an article about this on the main page. About not to fight the AA or your rationalization against appraoching, like, "she's too hot & I'm not warmed up yet," or, "she's too ugly." You just gotta accept how you're feeling and just go in (or just observe the rationalizations and take action). And when you're in say things that make you feel good or you think are funny and just chill back and have fun. You'll start having funner nights and you'll started gettin "on" or "in state" a lot faster and more consistantly. Approach anything and everything, assume value, self-amuse, and dettach yourself from any type of outcome. Main thing is make it fun. I know that's kind of a generalized statement, but when it comes down to it, you know who you are and you know how to what fun is and how to have fun yourself. You just gotta stop thinking so much and just have fun.
Thanks for the reply. But my issue in this regard is not about "having fun" when I'm out, it's about going out every night just becomes a chore. I see your point on how I should try to have fun every night, but I think for me right now I should rather just chill back a little bit, not totally but just a bit. This might only be relatable if other people have actually gone out for over 100 days in a row, or something like that, because that is what I'm talking about here. It's not like "oh I went out for 9 days in a row, whoa this is tough". It's more like "I've been gaming for 4 months straight every day and I'm kinda stressed out about it".

Yea, thats just a decision you'll have to make. Everyone is different. I fucking LOVE this shit. Like really bad. If I had the ability to go out 7 nights a week (which with my schedule & the fact that venues here suck ass Mon-Wed) I would. I litterally look forward to it and enjoy every minute of it, even the next day, I'm thinking of the shit I said, the shit females said, and I crack myself up all throughout the day. And the pulls are just like the icing on the cake. I'm hoping to get like 6 to 10 months free in the near future and move up, onto Hollywood Blvd so I can go pimp 7 nights a week straight while I'm up there. But yea if you feel like you need to stop, then stop. It really all comes down to what you feel you should do.
That's cool man I feel you. TBH you have to try 7 days a week before you say that you'll love every minute of it. Because you won't lol. But maybe your attitude is different than mine. I appreciate your feedback. But hey, maybe after I reconcile this inner conflict I will come back and enjoy more of it.
Yea definately, it's hard to give concrete feedback when I haven't actually experinced it myself. I'm like seriously itching to do it though. But I can't let it interfere with other aspects of my life, so I'm waiting until I can devote the time for it.

make it fun for yourself. come up with random challenges. ask a friend to give me a line to open with. or tell him to cockblock you 1 minute in. shit like that will help you switch your attitude.

haha in your first post you talk about not making excuses and now your saying you want to go 7 nights a week but making excuses as to why you cant. You only need one set mate.

I would define chore as a process from which you get no fulfillment.

A more physical explanation is that your dopamine system is not triggered by this chore, your body cant connect the results/reward of the chore to something important for you.

What you need to do is GET RESULTS until your body can connect the chore with the results.

For example:

Going to the club to PU - If in your reality your body knows that you can never get girls that way it will make "clubbing" feel like a chore, a waste of time.

In order to change this you need to overload clubbing WITH results, and with time your body can connect the process (clubbing) with results that is important for you (fucking hot girls).

You simply need to build up a self-made addiction

This goes for everything, the gym can feel like a chore, but when you see results it will become more and more fun until it becomes and addiction.

I usually say that it takes at least 6 months to a year of CONSTANT everyday action to make a strong connection between a  process and a result. I would say it takes up to 2 years to create something resembling an addiction. When this is done you will feel terrible for NOT doing what previously was a "chore", your body will punish you for not clubbing, working out, making money etc.

The main reason people fail is they don't persevere during the addiction building period.

Its like working out. For the first few months it really sucks....you're tired and don't want to go, you're not seeing huge results, etc. Then you notice your body changing, becoming more lean and toned, and you're like I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT, FUCK YEAH MY PECS LOOK AWESOME! Same thing with pickup, you endure the hard times and when you start getting laid on a regular basis, you're like I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT, FUCK YEAH I'M GONNA FUCK TONIGHT! Then its no longer a chore, its what you came to do and you love it.

The point of going out is to have sex with hot girls. If you're going out that hard all the time, you should have a decent amount of #s/fbs that can occupy your time the days you don't feel like going out and gaming sluts.

If you aren't getting laid regularly through your efforts, might be time to inject other forms of getting pussy into your lifestyle.  Work ALL angles.  When you're getting laid regularly, there is no such thing as a feeling of it being a chore.
