Skip ASC to do AM6?

[apollolux]

Well I don't think the "pick one girl and she's mine" thing is realistic, with or without programs like SM3. There's more to it than that, but if you are patient and do this properly, you'll be in good shape with these two subs and up the odds on most encounters. The clubbing stuff and social group I am similar, I have a small group of people around me, that's enough for me. Quality over quantity.

I understand, I was simply using the "pick one girl" bit to exaggerate how rushed I feel to make it happen specifically at college given the remaining amount of time I expect to take to graduate. Ideally I would rather have quality over quantity too, but what's the use in being with someone I lack attraction to in one or more important areas?

I don't understand now. You mentioned that you clearly don't have the funds to afford AM6, so that's automatically off the table, doing the two free programs will give you massive change without spending anything and are more powerful than paid version 4Gs. But yet, you seem to argue against doing them. They're really your only path, and they're good programs. They're real full power programs, they aren't crappy trial versions or anything. ASC changed my life, a truncated version of EHPRA is in AM6 and did the same for me in that program too, it's amazing. They're both awesome.

My argument isn't against doing them, it's about an impatience to restore and/or rebuild lost motivation that I attributed to listening to EPHRA and then an eagerness to enhance self-confidence with the next sub. I understand where the confusion might be, though, as I thought I worded my thoughts more clearly than I did.

I've never heard of low motivation being CAUSED directly by EHPRA, however, if you are resisting the program, working on a big issue underneath with the help of EHPRA, then it can manifest itself in low motivation or tiredness while the issue is being dealt with. It's temporary, up the hours a bit and soldier on. This can happen with ANY program, and usually does sooner or later. Eventually the sub finds something it can't easily bulldooze through. I've had it with each program I've used at times, ASC, AM6, and SM3. Don't worry, friend! You've had these beliefs, and thoughts, and views for years and years, sometimes decades. They take time and repetitions with the sub to bring up and then deal with and move on from. Sounds like textbook resistance to me...

I'm at 12 hours a day since the beginning of EPRHA. As I said, I don't truly know what's causing the low motivation (which is almost certainly the sole cause of the lack of productivity), but it definitely coincides with the use of EPRHA, since I started it before I left NYC to visit my aunt in Vermont until July 25th and it has continued while I'm still up here.

stick with EHPRA for 192 days, then we can talk about ASC depending on if you're still getting results with EHPRA by then. Trust me, you'll thank me later. There's a very good reason why that sub is loved so much here...

After 32 days I'll re-evaluate my decision to switch to ASC early, sure, but right now unless I can restore some useful productivity soon I'm definitely leaning towards moving onto ASC.

Money doesn't equate to attraction, so that view needs to be changed, it's true only in goldiggers. If she leaves once you stop spending money, be thankful she didn't marry you. Those are the devious, selfish kinds that rape you in divorce court. Several of my friends found that out the hard way, even with my advice to not marry the girl as she was obviously interested in money and living an image to impress her friends to validate her or in a competition with them. You don't need trash like that. Dates, especially first dates, shouldn't be more than $20USD. A couple coffees or something small and light, is easy for you, easy for her, as it takes the pressure off and is more casual and she doesn't feel she has to "return the favour", which is a big source of awkward anxiety with girls early on when guys go too overeager and spend lots of money early on. Plus, it kills mystery, which is also big for them. You aren't there to impress her with money, you're there to evaluate her to see if she's worth more of your time and energy. That's exactly what she's thinking about you by the way, so it's fair. YOU are good enough, you don't need to "make up" for some perceived shortcoming with money in order to be good enough for her, she doesn't want or deserve the pedestal. You know what I mean? You'll find that as you grow with these subs, you'll still find a lot of girls hot, but your need for them and their validation will drop drastically, and you'll also be extremely picky and disqualify hot girls a lot, girls you would've been dying for even months before. Your palette gets much more refined and higher class as time goes on with these. I've put on ice, for various reasons, more really hot young girls in the last year...than I've even TALKED to in the last 5 years...you'll get there too, if you stick to it and don't let impatience and neediness for females and their validation to get ahold of you. You can do it man!

I've never had girls throwing themselves at me, and only one (the manipulative friend I just gave up on Monday) has ever actually truly tried to impress me and seek my validation (she also insisted repeatedly she wasn't attracted to me, but her actions continued to contradict that), so getting to this point would be astonishing. It's very difficult, however, to attract and keep a (hot) girl, quality or not, in NYC without a steady job, a stable housing situation, and keeping up with studies in college to ensure financial stability in the future.
