Anytime I think about posting any discussion that is 90%+ theory, I usually think otherwise.

Theory is usually a recipe for non-action. Especially in this game.

Reading or memorizing theory is not learning.

Learning comes via experience. The theory is optional.

Learning theory before experience can sometimes make you misinterpret your experience, and prevent learning.

Everyone’s starting point is different, the details of everyone’s journey will vary, the roads/highways you take will be different and the total time invested will differ. The phases, however, are very similar and don’t really vary too much. We recognize these phases and are building our main program to progress through them one-at-a-time, ideally- in the shortest time possible.

It's important to realize that these stages are independent from your results (how many women you get, the quality of the women you get). You can have AA and still fuck some girls. I did. Results are important for transitioning from the middle/later parts of AA to socially free player/scumbag stages, but they aren't necessarily evidence that you are at one stage or another. The stages are psychological and results aren't necessarily a rites of passage.

Lets talk about the the usual starting for most guys: Approach Anxiety.

Lets talk about the VERY VERY beginning stage on the road to endless pussy.

Most guys don't start here. Many do, however, and don't recognize/know that they at this stage.

This is a stage that a minority of guys enter in.

It is CRITICAL to recognize if you are at this stage.

This is one of my favorite topics.

As much as I like helping guys Get Laid, I also like helping guys get their shit together. Maybe more.

God knows that I really had to work on myself to get the results that I have.

I wasn't the [usually] super positive guy I am today when I started this stuff.

A lot of guys get into this whole "I want to bang lots of HOT chicks" thing because they think it will solve a lot of their problems.

I used to be very against drugs. After all, drugs are bad right? They'll kill you. Probably instantly too.

No, seriously I thought that

Needless to say my views have changed, I'm not in favor of hardcore drug addiction by any means.

I AM in favor of basing your opinions on the experiences that you've actually had and not what others say who have absolutely no experience in the matter (that's the general theme to this website, you've probably noticed).

Even though he was a woman beating, hardcore drug using, somewhat overrated, impossible to get along with musician (I admit I have never met him, so maybe I shouldn't fucking speak), I largely concur with Axl Rose on his [apparent] view of drug use-
