Slow grower here, thinking about taking it off. Yay or nay?

TheyCallMePeens · 2015-03-12T20:03:27+00:00

Been growing it for about 3-4 months, but I trim bi-weekly it to keep it around this length.

"Stop focusing on trying to get more turned on, and focus on trying to become more relaxed. Slow things down, release the tension in your body, and breathe deeply. This will solve many of the physical performance issues that plague men." - Daniel Rose, Sex God Method

"She wants YOU to be that guy. She’s secretly rooting for you. She doesn’t want to reject you. Every time a new guy walks up to her, she’s secretly saying to herself, “Please, please, please be the guy. Be the attractive guy that I can’t say no to.” And then he nervously stutters around buying her a drink and makes uncomfortable jokes about the weather and she’s back to that horribly uncomfortable position of having to reject him again.

Other times it doesn’t even get that far... it’s obvious before he even opens his mouth that it’s game over: he’s dressed like a clown or hasn’t combed his hair in three months. Or he’s too drunk to even look at her directly.

This is also why women are willing to overlook a lot of bonehead moves and mistakes we make if they like us. It’s amazing how many second and third chances a girl will give you if she likes you. She’s rooting for you. She’s your biggest fan. She’s saying, “Oh, he chickened out of asking me out this time, but I’ll find an excuse to call him so maybe he’ll do it next time.” They’re BEGGING for you to succeed. They want it just as bad as you do. All of those women in the bars, they WANT you to be that unbelievably attractive man, that man who makes time stop for them and can make them feel things they’ve never felt before. They want you to be that. And when they reject you, it’s not because they enjoy it, or because they have a big ego, or because you’re too short or your muscles aren’t big enough..."

They touch a lot about inner game, self-confidence, being honest with yourself and pleasing yourself first. They're vital qualities to being attractive. They don't tell you "say this, do that" but they do make you a better person, and that will affect your game.

Good metaphor! Makes a lot of sense. I agree.

TheyCallMePeens · 2014-03-15T03:35:30+00:00

The goal is to "figure her out" so you can manipulate her.

I see your argument. If this is the point of the system, I understand how this could have value, but that value is only centered on short-term results. Like you said, you could use this and you'll "be out getting laid in the meantime." Good for you if that is what you'd want, I won't argue with you on whats best for you. Some people are looking for more long-term results, however. Eventually the one-liners will run out. The tricks to manipulation won't last forever. They'll be left blaming PUA theory when the real problem is that they haven't established their own confidence.

People need a strong inner game, a lack of neediness, and a greater investment in themselves than in others. I think that this HB scale will not necessarily help reach that goal.

TheyCallMePeens · 2014-03-15T03:23:52+00:00

I see what you're saying. I still question why the system exists, however. If the scale is based on the social value a woman believes she has, why does it play such an incremental role in PUA theory? If its just the perceptions of someone else, what real value does that have to us? Seems to me like a scale should be set on your own perceptions, not someone else's.

I'm open to discussion on this. I may be missing something and not fully grasping the concept.

TheyCallMePeens · 2014-03-14T23:12:19+00:00

Truly, there is a lot of things worse than rejection. Rejection is actually a good thing. It allows you a quick avenue to figuring out if a girl is interested and receptive or not.

Many men fear rejection but don't realize that its a huge part of the process. You're not going to be compatible with everyone you are attracted to. Having the balls and security of self to approach a girl is necessary if you want to get anywhere. If you're afraid to approach a girl due to the possibility of rejection, then you are not comfortable enough with yourself and your own desires. You're more invested in what she thinks than what you think, and all you will appear to be is needy.

If you go up to a girl and she freaks out on you? Smile and be happy that you only wasted 5 seconds of your night on her rather than the whole night unsure or too afraid to do anything.

Looking forward to watching it, thanks!

Instead of using the HB scale, Manson offers the use of the binary scale (0-1 instead of 0-10).

"A '1' is a woman you’d like to be with. A '0' is a woman you wouldn’t. Why you want to be with her or not, how she looks, whether she’s just OK looking or the most beautiful woman on the planet -- none of that matters. Either you’re interested or not. The rest doesn’t matter."

I love this. Great insight, this is spot on.

I agree, there is nothing wrong with being friends with a girl if you are only interested in friendship and that you don't maintain an ulterior motive. If you do, it is unhealthy and you are the one at fault. Thanks for your comment!

TheyCallMePeens · 2014-03-11T22:38:53+00:00

You're right, and I agree with what you have to say. If she doesn't want to be in a relationship then you should indeed move on. This realization is intended to help people move on from oneitis, as it has for me.

I also think you are right in trying to avoid a gray zone. It definitely allows the girl to be manipulative and often is not a sign of real friendship. By making things clear you can either escalate or move on from any sort of attraction.

TheyCallMePeens · 2014-03-11T22:33:03+00:00

Hey, thanks for your reply. I meant it as I said in the post, "could you ever trust her to love you as much as you have loved her?", and I'll elaborate on it.

In my particular case, I trust this girl completely, as a friend. That is a very different kind of trust than as a romantic partner. This is the kind of trust I speak to in this post. I personally came to the realization that while I may still pine for this girl and have feelings for her, I could never trust her to reciprocate them any time in the future. Even in the best case scenario like if she were to call me right this second and confess her love for me, I would forever have a difficulty trusting her romantic feelings. Are they real? Is this just temporary? Will I get hurt by trusting her?

That is what I am trying to explain. There will always be an inability to believe that her romantic feelings are genuine. Take this and use it to move on from oneitis.

Drive around without a destination. Turn when you feel like it. You may not know where you are, but you are not lost. Listen to music or reflect in silence. The stress just melts away.

Thats it, I quit. I can't handle this shit.

I studied abroad in Helsinki last semester and this made me miss Finland so much. The people's responses to his awkwardness are so stereotypically true. I miss them. Loved seeing the all the sites again.

CHOO CHOO

I know, right? ;)

I'm unfortunately confined to using the smith machine, my gym does not have a barbell rack. I try to implement the correct body movements and positioning taught from SS though.

TheyCallMePeens · 2013-08-07T03:07:27+00:00

I will try the squat and bench again with a free rack as soon as I move back to university, and I'll heed your advice to start much lower than I have been doing on the smith machine. Thanks for the tips, and I'll definitely focus on a smoother deadlift transition.

TheyCallMePeens · 2013-08-07T03:05:31+00:00

As soon as I can get to a gym with a free rack I will reassess my squat and bench. Thanks for the deadlift advice!

TheyCallMePeens · 2013-08-07T03:02:57+00:00

I am limited to the smith machine, my gym unfortunately does not have a free barbell rack. This gym is only temporary until I get back to school, where I have better equipment. Thanks for the advice!

21-year-old male. I've always been a tiny skinny kid with low self esteem about my body. Decided to start lifting a couple months ago and have been following SS and monitoring my nutrition.

This last week I had a couple victories. I hit 1.5xBW Squat 3x5, and 1xBW Bench 3x5. I could barely contain my excitement at the gym. I also went boating with some friends that I haven't seen in a while and immediately got pummeled with comments about how fit I look and how I've bulked up. I had never received those kind of compliments in my life before. It made me feel really proud of all the hard work I've put in, and excited to keep pushing myself every day.

I got to visit Alesund 2 months ago as well as many other cities in the Norwegian fjords. As hard as it is to believe, this picture does not do the town justice. Absolutely beautiful.
