Tyler, what do you think about cheap and expensive clothes? Why you buy cheap and what expensive you buy? Because you want to have different for every event and video? Or it just doesn't matter?
I'm figuring out this for myself but ofcourse I'm in a different situation. Thanks, man.

 After I attended Hot Seat 2, I have stopped drinking. As you mentioned in the video, I started feeling incomplete, approach anxiety appeared etc. At the beginning I had the momentum of Hot Seat 2 but as it has been a month since I have seen it I started to loose this momentum. At the moment it is even more difficult for me to get into the state. As a result when I approach a girl the conversation goes very boring even the jokes that I make are not funny any more. My jokes are kinda contreversial to myself such as; Wauww thats a nice dress but I hate it maybe I like it etcc (saw lots of jokes like that during the Hot Seat 2). As a result I personally get bored. This results in;

NO STATE leads to NU FUN results in NO ATTRACTION

When I am in state I can say that 90% of the time I can hook up the chick (even if I cant hook up, I have my own fun) but in these days I find it very difficult to catch this momentum/vibe. 

What would be the right steps to take in order to get into state and have fun when I am sober? I have been struggling wth it so if you can give me some advice, that would be highly aappreciated.

I'm all for self-improvement... but isn't stating that you cannot become good at pickup unless you quit drinking a limiting belief? This is something Tyler stresses as a very important facet of a good mindset... I go out and enjoy a couple beers on a regular basis while never getting drunk or forgetting what I say or do... I'm self amusing and enjoying myself while continuing to push my comfort zone by approaching and interacting with people I don't know... I understand julians point I just don't think its beneficial to cut out things you enjoy as long as moderation is applied and improvement is continuously made... Cutting out alchohol seems like your addressing the symptom and not the core issue of why your results aren't as good as you would like... why not instead acknowledge that you need to practice more, re-frame yourself, and find your own personal style so that your doing it for you instead of doing something in a dogmatic way...

Get your Charlie Sheen on - The  foolproof drinking and gaming Method

I like drinking. Even though I know, not believe, I know that it would improve my Game when I would stop it.
But the truth is, I like alcohol. I like drinking some fine Chianti to my steak, to my pasta with Kalahari salt and shrimps. And I also enjoying some Jameson, some Makers Mark or Mount Gay Rum with Cola, ice cubes made of Evian and a little splash of lemon.

I'm basically a connoisseur. I found it kinda funny as Brad had an article about the same topic a couple weeks ago. I never realised, he was drinking in his Game as I was always thought that all RSD Instructors have to be sober at all times. I liked his quitting the booze step by step method. First you quit the booze, then you drink beer, then you cut the beer... you get it.

A couple months before that, I already have done what Brad was talking about. But my intention was not to stop drinking at all. My intention was to lower my consume to a level where I could still act conciously and don't get tired and fucked up too soon. Besides that I care about my health now...

So basically, what I do is drinking some sparkling wine. First of all, I like wine but there is something special about this kind of wine. It makes you feel light, I like this kind of intoxication. It makes you talkative, flirtatious and get you out of your head. I guess thats the reason why so many women like champagne. It's different to beer. Beer get you tired faster with hop as an ingredient. What I also like is Rose. Red Wine has a too strong taste, you get dark teeths and it's heady in it's high. White wine would be fine, but even the good ones get pretty sour to some extend and fuck up your stomach. Rose has the right balance. Sometimes I like to mix it with some energy drink to get even more hyped up.

Although I drink, I NEVER and I mean I NEVER drink hard liquor when I'm on my Game! The Whiskey + Cola thing, is for one day in the week when I'm chillin with my friends.

Hard liqour has definitely some serious pitfalls...

When I was in my early twenties, I was used to drink two bottles of vodka with my friends before going out. Then we were drinking another bottle at the club and some beers afterwards. It was like a ritual, but I can't say that it helped me get laid that much. That was way before I discovered RSD and PUA in general. Even though I was really wasted, I was still a chode. I had still some serious fear to go and approach a girl. Sometimes it worked, often not. I had definitely a lot of fun partying so wild, but there were also some serious issues that came along with this lifestyle...

I felt fucked with the hangovers every time.
I got into fights in the club.
Bouncers were kickin my friends out because they did stupid shit sometimes.
I drove intoxicated with my car and almost smashed it aganist a wall as I was falling asleep driving.
Luckliy, my Friend was there to break the steering wheel and rescue us all.
I lost my driving license because of driving intoxicated to the club.
I started to drink daily, even when I was doing my homework
and had some serious issues at school.
I was in a latent aggressive mood at all times.
I got problems with the police.
I got problems with my family, even with my friends.
I got out of shape.
My friend broke his hand after he punched at a wall intoxicated in rage of a dispute with a guy he had some minutes before this event.
I've fucked my first girls raw, without caring about getting them pregnant or get some std's.
I had health-issues as my doctor told me that I had basically a fat liver at the young age of 22. I had to stop drinking for full six months to recover my body. I've seen a psychiatrist because of my drinking behaviour.

AND THIS ALL BECAUSE I WANT SOME PUSSY!


Ridiculous ha... since this time, I was pretty senstive when it comes to alcohol and drugs.

As Julien said, you need the ref-points. So, you have to approach sober at times. It's about facing your fears, about working on your self esteem and your self development overall. I'm approaching every day a girl after work before I go home. I can't go home before I approached a girl. This is the mission, the burden that I put on my shoulders on a daily basis. 90 percent of the times I ask for directions, sometimes I chit chat a little, I even got some phone numbers out of it. But the main point is to get this experience and grow, no matter what.

I'm not saying stop drinking. But be careful with it...


Know your limits, I mean like... literally;-) Do exactly know how much you can drink as to your own personal intoxication-peak and from there change to water. It takes a litle practice and discipline, but you get it with time.

I have lots of respect for Tyler and Julien for not drinking. That is what true pick up mastery and becoming a confident man is all about. But I work the whole week and I want to relax at some point. I want the girls, but I want to party a little, too.

Aww man rite when I was starting to "get it" ... j/k Definitely doable and the positive is that youll save alot of money.

But talkin about drinking an interesting thing happens once in a while. It's unbelievable to me how people are sometimes. It doesn't make sense to me at all. Tyler sir Blueprint 2??

There's been a couple of times when the whole night all I did was drink and I told the exact same story literally like 8 or more times that night. And people loved it? Why? I don't get it? Nobody ever ever called me out on it.  And they still hit me up to go out but... one of those people later told me that I was really coo when I drink but not as much sober? Really??? Tellin  the same story a bunch of times is cool?? Why? Is it as simple as "calibrated unstiffledness" is cool.  I'm starting to get it a little bit  when people like Brad say "It doesn't matter what you say." Blueprint 2? LOL J/K  My brother who was in a relationship for 5 years has told me also that it doesnt matter what you say. But no matter what it at least has to be somewhat calibrated. I have never seen any infield footage from a single MPUA where they're saying weird stuff and they close. So I think it does matter a little bit what you say.  

It's interesting but not a big deal or concern. I feel almost better than ever thanks to everyones help. Great article n vid Julien. Thanks.

Well routines DO work.

It's just that going natural has so many long term advantages, so it's worth building your skill set the proper way.

Dependence on routines is also pretty hard to unwire out of your head when you decide to switch, so generally better to just build a stable foundation from the get-go, similar to what Julien said about not using booze.

There's a lot of great clothes for cheap.

If you have money and want to spend it on something more expensive, it's personal preference!

Thanks for the feedback sir. It's one of those things about people that leave me puzzled. I'm just like "Wut???? Ya'll really enjoyed hearing me say the same story over and over again??"  Cool!  That night had a girl whose fiance was in the next room rubbin her breasts all on me all in my face. Which was also was puzzling to me. Im just like damn yo fiance is freakin like 10 feet away!!!! I guess she forgot? LOL. Attention span of ant?? Blueprint 2? J/K.
Also a girl was asking me alot of questions but it was like 4 am and I had to work later that morning and logistics arent that great for me rite now. I think now it might've been simple social momemtum and value that I think can work for anyone really now that I think about it idea

Man I could only imagine what you've seen out there. Jesus. I've seen some pretty crazy shit in my life as well that I don't think I can speak of. Growing up I never imagined our world/people to be like this. But when I think about it,  the enviroment I grew up in was also nuts so in a way I cant believe that I'm surprised by the things I witness. I guess my child mind did a fine job of not letting those things sink in too much or maybe I was just so distracted by school or maybe it was that I was worried more about my own well being that I didnt think much about others besides my siblins. The "ego" didnt help either hehe. I really dont know.

Why did this happen to humanity? Why are there mothers pimping out their daughters and LITERALLY INSANE CORRUPT and LITERALLY GAY politicians??? What about Africa? Why do some friends end up stabbing and/or murdering each other?  What happens to people that makes them that way? Is it despair? Aging? Poverty? I think about the history of mankind and I see that its always been this way. Its crazy and I was heartbroken by it at one time but now its not something that I'm gonna "focus" much at all about.     

BUT ENOUGH OF THAT!! Theres also really good people in the world and I'm not gonna let it affect how good my life is getting and how good I'm feeling thanks to RSD n Rsdnation.
  
Thanks so much I'm starting to really "get it".  And the positive effects of starting to understand the "fundamentals"/ "Foundations" are having a great  rippling of positivity through out my life and self. Feels good. The "basics/fundamentals/foundations" are KEY and quite fascinating and "powerful". Thanks so much and take care and I wish you and your family the best.  RSD#1!!
