I've been tired and grouchy as hell from work and school. I was in a study area this morning with a few girls that were smiling and looking but I was to tired to even say hi. Hell, its like this every day because of all the stress and lack of sleep. Any suggestions? I should and could be fucking all these barely legal girls (I'm 24 in freshman classes) but I just don't feel motivated anymore.

Shit bro, you need to take a break and go do some other cool shit like play video games, watch sports, read, whatever.

I only seen you on this board a few months and you been pretty active. Chill out a bit and come back strong in October for the stretch run to the end of the year

I never solely focus on game at any given time. I did when I first learned about it and took the red pill, and there are a nights when I go out with the intention of gaming, but for the most part I dont push it. I dont want it to be work, though I know if I pushed it harder I would probably get more notches, to me its not as big of a deal.

It's all about what makes you happy, for some guys sex with lots of women is the main part, for me specifically its just one equal part of many.

As for being overworked and tired, sometimes you just gotta lay low. There have been a few Friday nights where I'm off on Saturday that I spent at home because I just decided going to bed at 11pm was more important then going out. Prioritize and balance.

I'm taking a break myself (mainly from online dating) because I found myself in a similar situation. I have a few FB's on rotation and had been going hardcore for so long that I just needed the rest. I still go out with the guys but I'm not as engaged and focused on picking up women as I was a few months ago. It'll pass, you just need a balance (my finances need to recoup too )

I definitely get approach and gaming fatigue. In fact, I have a half-completed thread on this topic sitting it my Drafts folder. There are times--and right now is one of them--where I just don't feel like putting in all of the investment into too many quality approaches only to have the girl:

1. Drop the boyfriend line after I've already wasted a chunk of time and creative energy on her dumb-ass (this happened to me today).

2 Give me her number, only to get flaky when it comes to making plans.

3. Go out with a bitch only to be annoyed by her or have to deal with her fake resistance and games.

I'd add that after following the advice of the online-game boosters on this site--Gmac in particular--I've also grown tired of the unique bullshit in the online world. Sure, I saw some success, but that shit required a lot of energy and patience--on par with approaching actual girls that I can screen much easier in person.

In the end, I think, I think you have to either cycle in and out of game or keep it a steady, running-in-the-background approach. You simply can't keep up the intensity for extended periods with some burnout.

What you need is cash! This is the best medicine.

Good insight everyone. The funny thing is I'm getting eye fucked and smiled at more than ever before. I look like a zombie, haven't been working out as much and I'm off in my own zone every day. I got some 18 yr old's number in one of my classes today. Her eyes lit up when I told her how old I am last week so I guess she has a thing for older guys.

Gaming fatigue is real. Happens to us all, Roosh has posted a lot about it.

My solution is as Tuth said

Quote:

Running in the background is how I keep it up. It's like working out. I lift 3 times a week. Anymore than that and I would start to hate it.

Likewise, I game 3 times a week. And I enjoy dancing, so it's a shitload of fun for me. I think that's my real secret. When I'm gaming, I'm doing something I naturally enjoy. Really, there is no substitute for having fun.

But this didn't come to me easily! I had to go out for years with shitty results until I found something that worked for me. And once things started to click, it's like I'm in Disneyland every time I go out to a dance club.

There is no substitute for sleep. Being over tired is stupidly glorified in the church of Amerikan Workaholism.

Don't do it.

Get enough sleep, period. It can take a couple days to weeks to catch up if you're really over-tired. I caught mono at 27 from being ignorant about that shit. It took me months before I felt like my energy level was good again.

The girl's agenda is to wear you down. Wear you out.

Something tells me you will master that "thing" we talked about. You are definitely getting that plan together at a lot younger age than I did. I think when you realize that these whores can have you prancing around like you're in a three ring circus, you will opt out of "chasing pussy", just because you can. Being burned out on chasing pussy is way different than being bummed out because of pussy , yet, both, can produce some damaging psychological and physical symptoms. When you hear the lies, figure out the schemes, or how much time you've wasted, your instincts should, or will kick in. Tell you the truth, if I could convince one whore to brush and floss my teeth, and convince another to wipe my ass simultaneously, I would give up another 10 pieces of so called "free pussy" .

Excuse my ignorance on the matter but what is mono?

Being tired of the game is a good sign.

[texaschili]

You know at the beginning of Fight Club the doc tells the narrator (Edward Norton) he isn't getting enough exercise.

Are you getting exercise?? It can help!!

[Giovonny]

Like guys have said, take a little break and catch up on your rest. I want to add one thing that I have learned over the years...

Learn to not give a fuck.

When you don't give a fuck, you don't waste energy.

I think the reason guys get tired with Game is because they care too much. They are emotionally invested. Caring is what drains them. Every approach, every conversation, takes emotional and physical energy.

Don't be so attached to these girls and how they react to you. Live your life the way you want, spit your Game. Some girls will like it, some girls won't. Dont allow them to drain your energy.

If a girl is not feeling you, immediately move on. Don't hang on to any negative emotion or energy. If you are hanging onto that stuff, YOU CARE TOO MUCH!

Let it go in one ear and out the other. Don't try to please them. Please yourself. Just make sure you look good doing it.

Roosh and Gmanifesto have some good posts on this also.

Hey man, I feel pretty much like this just now. I've just moved out to Romania and am living in an absolute goldmine of beautiful girls but I've been so tired from work and other things like finding an apartment that I've been totally drained and unmotivated. I've been doing some socialising but have generally been going for the easiest option, i.e. a few beers with some guys from work on Friday nights. I'm fucking exhausted.

I've decided to chill out and not think about game for a week or two. I'll do my job, get my shit together enough, go to the gym, go swimming, have some nice food and enjoy walking around my new home city. I think some of the advice on this thread is pretty decent. Chill out for a while, get some balance in your life, concentrate on your studies etc for a while, do some exercise and once you're feeling better the motivation will come back naturally. It's happened with me in the past and I'm sure it will again.

[Samseau]

Game is easiest when you are hungry for some new poonani. It's after a dry spell that my game is tightest, oddly enough.

[babelfish669]

Your not burned out from the game, your burned out from school. You need to put yourself back on a more realistic schedule. I'm guessing school has only been going for a few weeks now at most?

It's human nature. I went out last week and hooked up with 5 new chics, one of whom I fucked numerous times this week. I started feeling burnt out, not necessarily from gaming to much, but from feeling tied down by this girl. I made it clear tonight that we're free to see other people. I went to Piano's on the Lower East side, made out with a girl i met there, danced with her, number closed and will hopefully fuck her next week, after I fuck one of the new girls from last week.
Point is, maybe you just need a change of pace. Switch it up. Get a gf for a few months, steady easy action. Once you get bored of her, you'll be ready to party like there's no tomorrow.

[BusanCanuck]

Shit, happens to me all the time. It's like working in forestry, I have a couple on weeks and a couple off.

Not to mention, I've always got some new bullshit happening in my life that requires all my mental energy.

Probably. I dont get tired of approaching when I go out - as I've learned to entertain myself and have fun while doing it.

Instead what does wear me down is coordinating dates/logistics with chicks. Whether I do it via phone calls or via texts I often get dragged into a never-ending back and forth about scheduling, re-scheduling etc. It is boring and draining.

In this regard I do miss the homeland (Italy) where dating is more spontaneous and you coordinate a date to meet up the day after. You dont schedule for 3-5-7-10 days ahead. Here in the US the scheduling clusterfuck makes me lose momentum. I often lose interest myself when I am distracted by other life priorities (work, travels etc).

EDIT: but I agree with you guys - when burned out I just let the game aside for a while, I focus on other things and then boom, within a couple of weeks motivation and energies are back. It's a natural cycle.

[Screwston]

I think I was focusing to much on pussy and the game. I forgot how good I was doing before I was so obsessed with everything. I made myself just think about school and other shit this week and yes...I'm back. Felt like a new person at school and running errands.

A lot of dudes are making their lives about chasing pussy, keyword there being chasing, good thing you recognized it.

Dial back and do you, you'll find opportunities often come your way when you're not actively searching for them, but you have to be able to recognize them when inevitably surface.
