So sales was abysmal today.
Despite that I noticed some definite IOI's from women.
I know that being a good salesman and getting with hot girls is not mutually exclusive because the Australian guy is good at sales and with women.
So my normal "Being an alpha makes you bad at sales" excuse/belief isn't valid.
Despite that, I do definitely feel that something is off. Not sure what it is. Perhaps it's just my interpretation of things.
I'm also finding it hard to accept the IDGAF paradigm because that makes me feel like I'm just a mindless particle or cue ball rolling through the pool table of life with a set force and destination. Meaning there's nothing I can consciously do to improve my situation.
The new pick up paradigm is equally damaging. Telling you that if a girl doesn't like you, there's nothing you can do about it.
I think that is shit.
I did my best in sales when I was operating with a "persuade people" mindset, not a "if it makes sense, we do it" mind set.
I approached the most girls when I was in a "persuade women" mindset, not a "if they like me, they like me" mindset.
I find myself going towards the latter paradigms, but consciously I'm resisting it and I don't like it.
Interestingly, the results speak for themselves in that my sales are down, and my female interactions are also down.
Yet somehow that is "the way" that I find myself going.
It's f*cked.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and reading Believe's journal made me realize that a TON of people are glaring at me lately. Mostly guys.
Women seem shy, creeped out, or fake-smiley when I pass them on the street. Although one cute woman was jogging past and said "hey" in a casual way that I'd expect a woman to say to a guy she wanted to be on good terms with and show she was cool.
OR it could simply be that SHE was cool and she just talks that way. >>
