Noa's 2014 thread

[Noa]

I feel like I've been slacking lately. Even though I've been approaching and stuff, it's normally like 3-5 sets a weekday. To me I don't think that's enough. Not after reading Bay's LR. So I decided to be more actively agressive, in terms of approaching and going way beyond my comfort zone.

My goal, which I will complete everyday, is to approach 20 sets a day, EVERY DAY. There's no end time for this goal. I have absolutely NO EXCUSES as to why I can't get at least 20 sets a day. I go to college next to two other colleges ONLY ONE BLOCK AWAY, one being one of the biggest party university in the state(and was ranked in the top 50 party schools in the USA). I live five, yes FIVE minutes away from Times Square. The point is that I have so many options to go out and approach and I don't really take advantage of it.

Starting tomorrow(1/23/2014) morning I will begin.

I will be posting pics of myself for style/fashion critique on here as well.

I def would want some advice on what to do with my hair, been wanting to change it up.

Probably update my fitness stuff on here too, considering I want to begin meal prepping, in addition to already doing my macros. May benefit me in the long run.

Approached 17 sets, not including the people I met in my classes. 7 of them were direct. One gave me the "I have a boyfriend line." Told her I didn't care and stacked forward.

Got her number. After she put it in my phone she said:
"Don't forget, I have a boyfriend" and then I cut her off saying "Don't forget, I don't care" with a smile. Sent her something dirty and she replied with just lmao. Not sure if gonna pursue, I'm against doing shit with girls in relationships and stuff.

Will try to get some pics up soon, just got assigned a project at work that's due in 4 weeks, but was told it's supposed to take 6 weeks to complete, so been working on that lately.

Did 22 approaches yesterdays total. Most of them had to be quick 2 minute conversations because of time constraints. As I got home, I caught my dog peeing on my bed, which is a first. Ended up doing laundry and not going out at night. It's snowing right now, but it's warmer than it was yesterday so I may go out for a bit to get my 20 approaches and then hit up a sports bar to watch the UFC fight.

Oh and yesterday got 2 # closes out of 5 direct approaches. Texted em both, no reply. Not surprised since I only talked to them very briefly.

good stuff man!

20 approaches is a ton. how long does that take you?

[Noa]

quick update on today. Been working on 3 different projects, two from school and one from work. Spent most of my time on that, but still went out. It was completely empty everywhere I went. Complete ghost town(guess people don't like the cold like I do). Only got in 12 approaches. I don't count talking to hired guns as an approach.

@SD It depends on the day really. On days I have free time I spend roughly 10 minutes per set. Been going for # closes and trying to follow up afterwards to set up a D2. For example on Friday I was really short on time so most of my conversations were really short. My longest set so far was maybe 20 minutes. Shortest was about 30 seconds lol.

One of the downsides of approaching a lot of sets, that I've noticed with me, is my energy tends to die out as the day goes on. Trying to break through that, but it's tough. Tomorrow I only work for 4 hours and I'm basically free the entire day so I will be waking up early, hitting the gym then approaching non-stop before and after work. Gotta make up the slack for today.

[Noa]

Will do, taking pics is something I def don't do often.

I start touching the girls almost as soon as I meet them for the most part.

[Noa]

I didn't follow up with most of the numbers until today during my lunch break. Got 4 d2s planned. One thursday night, one on early Sunday, two on monday. Not sure why I waited, but I will try to follow up much faster.

Today was an okay day, 18 sets. I was really tired, low energy, but pushed myself forward. I've been implementing a lot of my stories from when I was in TX earlier this month into my conversations.

There was one girl I really wanted to approach, but there were literally 8 guys around her and I bitched out. Next time I just gotta go in and do it.

Started counting my macros again today, been a few months since, but it's def worth it to keep myself in check. Hit the gym too.

[Noa]

Been having trouble sleeping, but didn't let that stop me. 14 sets. 5 # closes. One I know for a fact I'm not following up on(fattie who forced her number while I was getting her friend's #). Met this really hot girl in my class, really sassy, didn't # close tho, but will try next time I see her.

Pretty impressive, Noa. What keeps you motivated to keep approaching? Also, are all these approaches solo, or do you ever work with a wing?

[Noa]

My motivation comes from a few places, but the biggest one is that I don't want to live my life full of "what ifs" and regrets. If I don't go out there and bust my ass, then I'm basically giving up on making myself a better individual; and I'm no quitter.

I go solo 99.99999% of the time. It's so much easier for me. Most of the times I go out with a wing they end up needing a drink to approach and then end up not approaching.
