1 Month - PUA progress report and action items

I knew before the Project's opening that I'll be one of the slower ones learning PUA arts since, as a working professional, I have other life's priorities.  My goal was to get my feet wet, get into the habit of opening my mouth to strangers and becoming accustomed to acting despite approach anxiety.  I feel I've acheived that goal. 

After a month, I definitely feel decreased approach anxiety.  I'm less terrified of strangers. 

I am also beginning to see a catch-all opening strategy that would work in any situation.  It's the Bachery Day Game Strategy Card I talked about in my last blog entry.  I plug in two variables (type of girl and venue) and the card spits out an opener.  No more thinking.  No more hesitiating.  In pickup, thinking and hesitating are your enemies. 

For Month Two, here are my action items...

- Put together the Strategy Card.  Have 3-4 "catch all" openers and conversational routines and practise them over and over.  I will not use any other openers.  This will help methodically formulate the Strategy Card, to know what works and what needs to be discarded. 

- Buy accessories to peacock more.  I just bought a flashing LED necklace on Ebay.  I'll also look for other clothing to give myself more "attitude". 

- No more waiting until the weekend to perform my five approaches.  I should space them out, almost once a day, so that I'm constantly in the habit of approaching. 

- Upload pics onto my phone that can be used as conversational pieces.  Like a picture of a puppy and say I just got it.  Crap like that.  You can never be too prepared. 

- There are two free publications that talks about nightlife in the city.  I'll be reading it consistantly and, if anything good, try out Night Game. 

- This one is going to be controversial.  I'm thinking about smoking electronic, nicotine-free cigarettes.  Let's be honest here.  People who smoke look cooler.  Smokers also often stand around and socialize while smoking.  Of course, I don't want to die.  I read that the electronic ones aren't harmful or addictive.  You get the coolness without the cancer.
