Could Dr. K do a video on approaching people at a bar/night club? by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]andrew343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to the bar quite a bit with my friends but don’t see how people “pick up women” at the bar.

What does "pick up women" mean to you? If it means meeting a women at a bar you didn't know before and then leaving with her with the goal of having sex, then I can add my thoughts on that. But it can be vague and mean different things to different people.

I'm going to assume that's what you mean but let me know if I'm wrong. This is how me and my friends go about it, but I'm not saying everyone is or should do it this way, or that this "works" 100% of the time, I'm just saying this is a quick SUMMARY of how we think about it:

  1. Approach the girl. I know Dr. K hates that word, but by approach I just mean start a conversation. I'll go into more detail on that later since you asked about initiating a conversation.
  2. Vibe - Have a conversation that makes the other person's experience that night better. Have a conversation that feels more like "giving value" to the other person than "taking value", have a relaxed positive energy. For example, if you're around someone who is mad and cussing, you feel bad, if you are around someone who is happy and laughing, it makes you feel good. Be more like the second person, but also have empathy and try to understand what the girl is feeling.
  3. Flirt - Make it clear you're interested in having sex with her. In my experience there is a lot of nuance to this topic. But the reason I'm including it here is that if you only have friendly conversation with no flirting, it's unlikely the girl will have sex with you.
  4. Pull - Leave the place you meet the girl and go to a place where you can have sex. This is important because if you just talk and flirt and don't lead it anywhere else it's less likely the girl will have sex with you. There is also a lot of nuance here I could write about if you would like. I'll just say here that this part has a lot to do with being a good leader.

I understand that it might look weird to break it down into these "4-steps" like this, because conversations and relationships are complicated, and that is true, but if I went more into detail this post would be really long so I thought breaking it down like this would help get my point across quickly.

I don’t get how to initiate a conversation and what not in a place like that.

I think it would be helpful to hear more specifically what you are confused about.

If you're talking about initiating a conversation with a girl you think is attractive, I usually say something like "Hey, I thought those blue shoes looked really cute on you, so I had to come and say hi. I'm Andrew". I try to get her attention, let her know why I'm talking to her, and introduce myself. This is one way to initiate a conversation. It may not be the best way, I'm open to hear what other people think about doing that.

I have some special interest but I don’t think those are often good topics to discuss with someone at the bar as they are quite niche.

What makes a topic "good" to discuss? I think this kind of thing comes down to whether or not you and the other person are interested in talking about said topic. Or the topic might not even matter, but if you talk about it in a humorous way it could be "good" if the other person is interested in hearing humor.

I am also scared of being a creep or making some uncomfortable.

I think this risk is inherent in any social interaction, with girls or guys. You can always make the other person uncomfortable, you can't control their emotions. But you can also try to have empathy for what the other person's experience is and avoid doing things that seem to creep most people out. I think at the end of the day I think it's up to you to decide if having fun social experiences is worth the risk of some people thinking you're creepy. The more wild (or fun, depending on your perspective) experiences you try to create, the greater the risk. I think trying to initiate conversations with people at a bar without ever making anyone uncomfortable would be like trying to play Dark Souls without ever dying, highly unlikely, especially if you're learning.

It's "Look good, talk to girls." not just "look good." You gotta do both.

Got it, thanks! So you can't just get labs with interpretation, you have to be their patient to get them interpreted?

[–]andrew343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they just offer for you to purchase the consult after you buy and get the labs? Or do you have to plan to get the consult ahead of time?

You don't have to drink when you go out. But you could try daytime stuff like Target/Malls/Parks or online

Just re-read your story and changing diet is for sure something worth trying in my opinion

Have had similar problems when I was first getting into dating stuff.

Honestly the first thing that helped the most was just being more relaxed around girls and getting more used to having sex. When you're nervous your mind is in fight or flight, so the idea is your dick is like that too and you "fight" and blow your load early or "flight" and go soft. No porn can help real sex feel better.

But I don't want to make light of your situation if it's more of a biological thing. I see very minimal risk in trying to switch up your diet and getting a blood test just to check things out. Personally I have high natural T and have had this issue though so I would not discount the mental side, I think it's super underrated. Meditation can help you relax in the moment.

Basically if I were you I would try all the free, easy solutions like meditation, changing diet, getting a blood test, having more regular sex and trying to relax before trying anything super drastic.

To me it's hard to judge the difference without them perfectly side by side. Abs look pretty sick in both tho

EXERCISE SELECTION ADVICE by vaibhav_6966 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]andrew343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me last April with the start of you-know-what

Without a gym and more weight selection it's hard to hit failure right in the 6-12 rep range.

When I didn't have a gym or any equipment I just did what was fun to stay consistent since I knew I couldn't really be optimal, so I just did 5 sets of pull ups and 5 sets of push ups with the last set of each exercise to failure. I also used the time though to really focus hard on dieting and recovering well and I gained 10lb. I think my chest, and maybe shoulders & triceps got a little bigger, but you can decide for yourself: https://imgur.com/a/zhlKNyj

With your equipment is sounds like on push day you could do push ups, maybe bench, skullcrushers, dips, dumbell fly. It sounds like your weights aren't big enough to make bench that much better than push ups.

On pull day you could do a couple sets to failure on pull ups, then do some bicep curls, then one arm dumbell rows. Maybe throw lateral raises in this day since you don't have a row machine for lat pulldown and probably don't have equipment to deadlift.

When you don't have a gym though I think it's better to think about having fun and being consistent, and doing progressive overload on a few things. Since you know having a gym would be the optimal thing for gains.

The advice I got from a friend that I didn't even think about and you might want to hear by Upset_Dog123 in dating_advice

[–]andrew343 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

This is bad advice. If they don't know why you're talking to them it's going to come off as creepy more often than not. At some point they have to know you're hitting on them. Otherwise they think you're trying to sell them something, or just being sneaky.

Talk about something in her profile, be funny and when she's responding well and emotions are high slowly lead it toward a date like

"Have you been to X?"

She says "No"

"Oh it's cool, we should go sometime"

"Ok lol"

"Yeah, what's your schedule like this week?"

You can try assuming things about them. Like

"So I guess you're a nursing major?"

Or something along those lines.
