Vick's Dating Log (v. 2.0) and Miscellaneous Advice
Welcome back to my dating log. Log 1 was a tremendous success. In sum, I went on dates with a couple of different girls over the 3 months of the log. I'd say it was a huge success. I'm so glad it became a resource for people to chat in, post their own experiences, and really get to know one another in addition to my own exploits. I hope this log can provide the same thing and become another groupthink on social dynamics, dating, and daily life in relationships, etc.

Here is the link to Volume 1 of the Log.

Overall, here is the outcome with all 10 girls from the thread:

Girl 1 - 2 dates, weird issues with her ex-boyfriend, ended on good terms. Haven't spoken in almost 3 months now.
Girl 2 - A girl from Miami I know who does Crossfit. I banged her. She is awesome. She has a boyfriend now and seems really happy.
Girl 3 - A trainer from the gym who I approached on IG and took out 3 times. Had a few issues, made successful move on her, and she ended up not being ready to move on from her recent ex-boyfriend.
Girl 4 - A girl I knew who was engaged that I correspond with for work now and again. She was a cool girl. She ended up actually being engaged, so we ultimately just went to Chic-Fil-A. We last spoke last week. She's a sweetheart.
Girl 5 - A girl I used to know who slid in my Instagram DMs. We went out once and I found nothing about her to be particularly special. Time hadn't been kind to her.
Girl 6 - Otherwise known as "K." She was resistant and flaky at first, then she came back around, but ultimately I view her as a young, shy girl who doesn't know what she wants. I don't really plan on talking to her much anymore.
Girl 7 - Otherwise known as "B." She approached me at the gym one day. Huge IG following and posts way too much for my liking. She talked a big game about how she wanted to be with me, etc. but her actions did not follow her words. I smashed and got a BJ in my car a few days before Christmas. We haven't spoken in a month. The last thing she said to me was "hi handsome man, don't think I've forgotten about you" with a bunch of ****gy emojis.
Girl 8 - I honestly forgot whoever this was and don't have the patience to dig through the old log to figure it out. Thoroughly uneventful, I'm sure.
Girl 9 - A girl I used to know from when we were younger who added me on IG a few months ago. I started a convo on IG and she was very interested in seeing me. We went out, had a great time, I kiss closed, and she went ghost on me after I tried to establish more plans.

I am going to take this log in a different direction. I am adapting a more stoic personality. I have made myself less available to people who aren't really in my inner circle. This thread will be more like beau's journal in a sense that I will provide stories from my youth, my experiences with women, my travels, drug addiction, etc. in an attempt to help people think about things in a different way and open up about myself.

I am going forqualityin this log, not quality. I will no longer be trying to approach and date every girl I find attractive. There is nothing left for me to gain by doing this. I've been cold approaching for years and it's a skill I have truly internalized. Now, I am going moreso for the approach of having women prove themselves to me. I am going to keep my head to my job, my lifts, my inner circle, and letting the rest come to me. This will truly be a test to see if the cliche "stop looking and you shall find" advice that gets thrown around now and then has any merit.

As always: I am NOT and NEVER aim for quick sex from girls I actually am interested in getting to know, so that is not the goal. The goal of this date and every first date moving forward is to establish inside jokes, learn more about their dreams and what makes them tick, and get to know my dates as people. I want to be interested by them and this is a quality I constantly search for.

I show all pictures to user jamesbwbevis who can sometimes vouch for me if he is available. In any case, I hope you guys enjoy my thread and my entries and hopefully learn something from this short, high-voiced, super goofy Italian from New York.

I am going to start the thread with the first part of my life story, condensed for the sake of this thread. This will give you excellent background on me and my apathetic approach to most things in my life. I hope this log is just as successful as the last and you're able to share, learn and ask questions. Thank you, my friends.

Tinder Experiment Vol 1: Vick Edition
So many on this board have claimed that if you a girl matches with you on a dating app that you are "100% on" and if she flakes, stops responding, or etc then its somehow your fault. I completely disagree with this. Just because someone swiped right on you doesnt mean they are 100% invested until you make a mistake. More than likely other options appeared were better and you were lost in the sea of thirst. Others on here believe their "game" is what keeps the girl into the conversation. I also call shenanigans on this. As long as your arent autistic and know how to hold a conversation then your game is solid. Your facial/body aesthetics and normal social skills kept her around. Not your magical knowledge of game that you believe you have.

That said our home boy Vick has allowed me to use his photos to make a Tinder account. My goal is to simply try to get as many dates set up as possible within a 2 month period. If I'm successfully able to do this then that rips a massive hole in this "game theory". Just so people are aware I used Tinder from the tail end of 2013 until December 2016. I set up 3 dates from the app during that entire time. 1 skinny girl, and two overweight/obese girls. Think about that. 3 girls in a 3 year period mass swiping . Clearly Tinder, OkCupid,Bumble, and even real life encounters are all about how you look. Sure theres probably some kinda cute looking girl out there for some of us that struggle, but they will be far and few between and we'll always paddle up a ferocious river. tSo if I, otakutrevan can hold conversations with girls, and get them to agree to go on a date then that disproves the entire "you don't have game theory". It will solidify that I do in fact have game, but I have the wrong face.

Summary:
Vick is allowing otakutrevan to use his pictures for Tinder
otakutrevan is illustrating how "game" doesn't exist (minus men with social problems) and its pretty much all about the face

Profile



Haven't even had the account up and running for 5 minutes and Vick has already pulled more girls that I have in the past month lol.
