Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

That only makes it even more important to do it now.  The more you break up your run-throughs of AM, the less effective each one will be.  And you seem to b choosing to focus on the women and the sex, not the things you need to do and achieve to make those women and sex a natural side effect.  That is the classic mistake all the guys make who don't really understand what's what.  Focus on women, and they will slip through your grasp.  Focus on yourself, and women will naturally and automatically choose you.  You will have to turn them down, and that will only make them want you more.  Trust me... I speak from personal experience.

Man I didn't have even 1 lay on AM which is my biggest disappointment of the program so far. It could be because of other reasons.
Because I know a friend who did have some success on the last few stages because of the leading to SM. 
Still nothing special you've been with one girl that's not a lot for him.

So for me personally
That means I didn't have sex for more than a 8-9 months now. 
You understand the frustrating I hope...
Therefore maybe a better thing would be to do something like AOS or BIATBW for a month or two without SM before my next run with the hope of that momentum will be a helpful force into AM6

Or do you think I still rather just jump head-on after OPH to AM?
Suggestions?

Okay, so here's the deal.  Most guys need 2-3 run-throughs of AM6 to achieve a good result.  Not because the program doesn't work, but because most guys who need it have so much growth to do, and so much fear of that growth that slows them down.

If you're going into AM trying to get laid because you used it, then you're setting expectations that are working against the program's goals.  Will AM get you laid?  Yes - if you execute it.  But not because the program is getting you laid.  It happens as a natural result of what you become as a result of executing!  AM itself focuses you inwardly, and away from women and sex (the last stage starts changing that because you're on the final polish).  Women and sex are just a distraction from what it is trying to accomplish.  What it is trying to accomplish is to build a strong masculine foundation.  Women and sex are like the roof of the house.  The house will fall apart under the weight of that roof if the foundation isn't made of a solid substance like concrete!  You are chasing pussy, when that's the end game, not the foundation you need to get it.

Running AM isn't about getting laid.  It's about self growth, self improvement and self mastery.  Those things achieved, women will be offering you sex because you've got those qualities.  Until you have those things achieved, you have to rely on temporary hacks.

What you do is up to you, but I'm telling you right here and now, you need to build that foundation before you can put the roof on the house.

In your shoes, I would run AM6 through all six stages again at least once, and most likely twice.
