I read the first one entirely and got ONE actionable thing I could do. the rest was "yeah, no shit sherlock" stuff to me. The second book was more of the same (some of the exact same pages from RM as a matter of fact) so I stopped reading it a littler over half way.
Still looking for the difference that will make the difference for me.
I think I saw my most potent NSFM and DMSI effects on 3.0.1 if I'm not mistaken. Since then, been not much to speak of aside from the usual IOIs that I no longer take as attraction signals (otherwise my hairdresser would have f*cked me). Ver A has been good to me internals/realizations-wise however.
Oh well. Onwards.
Hey there, Sarge!
It's true that there's nothing on this earth of course that will resonate or work for everyone. I hear you. I mean, there's life saving meds I'm allergic to...but literally save most people's lives, lol :/.
But also, sometimes, you aren't prepared for the truth of something at a certain time, or to internalise it. It's like you aren't at that point, so your mind is closed to it as a result as your programming or desire to follow a certain narrative closes you to it. I have said often that I wish that these books were put in front of me when I was like 12 years old, right after or before that psycho, vengeful bitch caused possibly my deepest scar with girls. Or, maybe even earlier in my life! But, the truth is, I was so stuck on that other girl, probably to the point of obsession, and other beliefs and programming drilled into my head by society to be extremely blue pill as they say, that I truthfully don't know if I would've gotten anything out of it. Maybe I needed to experience a lot of depths of pain, and riding out the narrative shoved down our throats to see that it doesn't serve me no matter how hard it spams me about it's virtue, in order to open my mind up to experience this stuff and let it show me what's what. Or, I could've took to it like a duck to water and become a massive ladies man with insane levels of game and experience by now. Who knows, I just know it's possible the timing/not seeing the depths of failure the narrative causes me in the end game, may have prevented me from experiencing benefit from the books despite having access to them at such a young age.
So, maybe it's an issue of timing, maybe you weren't ready to really let it soak in. I'd give them another shot. Or, perhaps, first try the other book I'm reading in my routine, Practical Female Psychology For The Practical Man, that one gives you direct things to look for and do, it isn't so much a mindset/mentality book like RM. I enjoy that one a lot for that reason, it's a bit more action-oriented, so it brings a unique perspective to my rotation compared to the RMs. So, you may find it more to your liking based off your post. But after it, I'd recommend trying them again, they really are incredible. I hope this time the timing will be better
