Internal Happiness + First Flake FR
Hey guys, i just feelike writing. I got my first real flake the other day. I know, first one! The crazy thing was, i had solid txt game, but she never picked up the damn phone! Phone game is always how i get my D2's. By the way, did Shadow find a copy of Get the Girl, by Mehow yet?
How i got into this set was fucking sneaky. At one of my usual spot, and i spot a mixed set a few seats down. One HB8, HB7, and their 3 guy friends. One of the guys leaves to go to the bathroom and i casually stepped out in front of him and make real strong eye contact.
I-Man: Whats happenin man, i know... ive met you before..., you kickass!
Rob(Stepping Stone): Oh yeh, you look familiar too. I work at whatever restaurant.
Blah blah, talked with him for about 1 minute. Got his name, where he works, and where he lives. Importantly he told me that one of the bigger bars in Pittsburgh are going to make a huge patio/deck and he is going to work there. This was all i needed, i pushed him off to the bathroom, and went directly to the set he was just at.
I-Man: Whats happenin guys (had a hand on the shoulder of the 2 other guys) Rob was just tellin me about blah blah blah.
It was funny, i dont even remember what i said, but i phrased it in a way that they didnt even ask me if i knew Rob, they just kinda assumed it because i knew where he worked and his name. Right away i established dominance with the two guys and i was already getting IOI's from HB8. By the time Rob got back from the bathroom, i was locked into the set talking to HB8. He came back with the Biggest WTF look on his face. It was hysterical.
Anyways, i ran solid game on this girl and her friends for about 5 minutes before my PUA friends showed up to drag me out cause she was the only decent set in the whole place. The number was easy enough to grab, she actually made me call her as soon as i got it so she would have mine. My txt game was normal, got her to txt me a few times the same night, and then 2 days later we had some playful txts and i decided to call her. She didnt pickup so i left a message and decided to wait a couple days. 3 days later, she txts me and apologizes for not getting back to me. A solid 4 hours later i initiate txt and she immediately responds. (Unfortunately these txts are long gone, i wish i still had the originals, they were golden, but this is the jist.)
I-Man: So i just got to the gym but i dont really wanna go in. This creepy fat chick keeps following me around! Ugh, so horrible.
HB8: Haha, thats soo funny.
I-Man: Sooo NOT funny! Anyways, im busy. And dont pickup your phone when i call you tomorrow @3, Im a total asshole, and you are a fucking cutie.
HB8: Haha, well i might be pretty tempted to pick up ;)
And she STILL didnt pick up when i called her. If they at least pickup the phone, i can always keep them interested, and get a D2 established on the second phone call. Argh! Oh well. I tried a couple more txts over the next few days but she never reponded.
I-Man: Haha, your so a Flayer, thats awesome...i love it.
and
I-Man: We are soo broken up. But what are we going to do about the cats? Im taking fluffy!
And still no response. Hmm, should i keep trying? I dont really care but damn. What a challenge. Oh well, i blinked in the picture. Maybe that was a forewarning!
Anyways, time for quick innergame time with I-Man.
External Validation is what makes most people happy. I get all this attention and feelings from other people which makes me feel good. When those people go away, I dont feel good. This is a major problem i have had for a long damn time. All my life really. But lately, i have realized, that true happiness comes from within yourself! Not from other people. This is probably going to be my main focus for the rest of this year.
I am sick of feeling like crap when my so called friends dont call me. I used to sit at my house and feel like shit cause my cell phone wouldn't ring all weekend. I would ask myself all these questions and blame things on myself. Well no more, i have finally realized that true happiness comes from within, not from the validation you get from other people. Instead of sitting around and feeling shitty i go to the gym, get shit done, im learning japanese for christ sake! I dont fucking care if no one calls me anymore! I have enough of a life by myself that i dont need other people to make me feel good. I can feel good all by myself!
Anyways, i hate talking about innergame, but I found this really important. And after i had this realization, i started looking at some of my friends and came to a major realization. Most of my friends that i dont like very much, are also people who thrive from external validation. All of my friends that i really love, are internally validated. The correlation was amazing. Anyways, I am going on a D4 with HBRussian this Wednesday and i have all of my schematics out in front of me in order for a well planned F-close. God i hope its a good time of the month :-/
Peace

Hey I-Man that is crazy how this is your first flake! Tough luck but maybe she'll come around.
And no I did not get the Mehow set...duly noted and it's on its way =)
That phenomenon you've noticed is really interesting I was just thinking about my good friends and it fits your model perfectly. This is probably why I don't like a lot of people now that I think about it.
Great post and GL man!
Hey I-Man.
Nice FR. Girls just flake because they are what they are -- girls.
It happens. I get flaked after my solid game too. Girls just flake.
Hi, I hit 20 points on flaking in the field guide (puafieldguide.com). This is an ever-growing list because even if you hit all these points, girls still flake. But you should be persistent, and if texting isn't working, try a new tactic. Find some cool thing she likes doing, call and tell her you're going and would she like to join.
Keeping up texting looks a little beta to a lot of girls, compared to getting on the horn and talking to her.
