When i came here , I had 0 game , I still dont know if its still 0 or not , Because of the place where i'm located night now i cant test my gaming skills i know that the best is to go and try by yourself to know.. but that can't happen at that time. So , when i came here couple of months ago maybe it was because i had big trouble understanding women , i didnt even know what a wingman is or cockblock is because of not getting into much interactions i only realised these things when i started reading , I read alot here in the forum , and i get the feeling that if i went out and do interactions , i will slightly improve or i may understand women better , Idk if just that reading means game improved or not , thats why i am posting this , i want to know from forum members has reading only improved your mentality ? when u go out now you think of what you have read and you have actually improved ? or my mind is just playing a joke on me and i have still 0 game like before i start reading.. Also i never read something in my life that i started to do it practically in real life.. thats why i dont know how reading could affect..or if it doesnt affect at all.. let me know :')

You need to learn by trial and error. We can give you all the ingredients to the recipe, but you have to be the one to put them together to make a pie.

Go out and meet people, improve your social skills along with your confidence. If going to the gym boosts your confidence, then you better be in there 4x a week. If approaching women on the street or at the bars boosts your confidence, you better be going out and doing it.

Where are you located that you can't improve yourself with women?

[Nick98]

Africa , Cairo/Egypt I live here.

[Remington]

So what's the problem with meeting women?

[Nick98]

You cant meet them unless there is an event/Concert/social circles/Study groupe/universities. Bars are not that located around the streets because its an islamic country , There is nothing called street approaches or mall approaches , It is never here because the fear of judgment (they will judge the girl as a slut before judging you), so as you know its an islamic country its harder to get the bang im not even looking to push the ropes with an egyptian girl.. They aim for marriage.. Well ,the timing is not right i have exams Rn , But when its over , I will move from the city then it becomes easier to meet women Still in egypt , but another city. Or i will try to find Mutual friends or use Tinder , Idk for real , I dont just want to feel like all the reading was nothing , But as i can see the forum provides at least the place of bangable chicks .. Lmao ?

I read a lot before I really got into this stuff. In my opinion, your game is still at 0 but the reading you did will help you increase your game at a faster rate once you start taking action in real life.

Taking action is the most important thing.

The reading is like a long term investment that will pay off a little in the beginning but it will pay off a lot after you have a lot of experience.

[Nick98]

I have been working on improving my posture lately.Still no chances for interactions, I will be able to have interactions by the next week.

[Nick98]

Sounds like a great advice

You can't get good at football by reading about it.

Just keep trying to find groups to meet more people. Even in Cairo there's a way to get laid. You just have to figure it out.

I think there is a difference between a mind game , and a physical game.

[Nick98]

I Think i've came to an answer to my own question..I think that reading and experience are both the same thing , with the difference in affection rate, Reading Affects you , Experiences Affects you , But experience has a higher influence because a person's mind after doing an action it gets stuck in his brain , so he never forgets about what happen or at least will affectionate him with a stronger form , Because that image is easily remembered, But reading is easily forgetten tho brain doesnt Capture those words as an image that gets stuck for a long time but will stay here and affect you for a short period of time that will eventually vanish unless u turn it into an experience during that period and a real life action that stucks in your brain strongly, so it affects you later. That's it , my own conclusion.?

[torridon747]

The weight, relevance, and general usefulness of the concepts you read about are completely lost on you until you practice them. Until you successfully execute learned material it will just be words on a screen to you, and you won't improve. Sharpening your tongue and readying your wit is a lot easier in real time. Lessons hit you harder, nuances become imprinted in your memory.

We're lucky we have a lot of well vetted material to guide us through this shit. It's to give you direction and stop you from making serious mistakes, nothing can replace practice.

Yes, it is much easier to internalize when you are doing it rather than only reading it.

Also, I like the football analogy. Both game and football are a combination of mental and physical and they can't be learned from only reading.

You should hit up tourist areas and resorts for dtf girls for practice

[StackGsMan]

I didn't read every word of the thread, but OP you sound like you are making excuses and imagining things. I have personally approached and banged several girls in "The Islamic Republic of Iran". I highly doubt Egypt is much worse than Iran. I also highly doubt that Cairo is worse than one of the small Iranian towns where I got my first Iranian flag and notch on Iranian soil.

To answer your question about reading versus practicing, I would say actually approaching and dating and all that is at least 80-90% of improving. What you read is a very small part of getting better. An average intelligence guy could become very highly skilled with women without ever reading or hearing anything about game other than what he learns from doing tons of approaching. An average intelligence guy will most likely not get very far reading every bit of credible game knowledge without doing any or many approaches.

Stick to one game plan ie: Read Bang then practice it, Apply theory to the practical.

Come across a problem when gaming? Come back and google/read through Roosh's posts about the particular topic.

Write journals/logs from approaches, what works/doesn't, night/daygame, etc.

If you read too much, you are just mentally masturbating. Like other's have said you only learn by doing! Start now!
