Part of a robust philosophy of self-prioritization: don’t remain ignorant of a situation that interests you because you were 1. afraid to ask, or 2. afraid to ask directly. Indirect asking can impact an answer. I don’t mean asking out, I mean finding out (if you should). Because of my…

Facts. I’ve developed my best ever physique at age 43 through disciplined weight lifting in the last 6 months. This started merely as a disciplined, general effort to do ab exercises. The effort got more intense and sophisticated. Now I have upper body muscles that pop in a tight T-shirt…

It’s Friday. My office has a nice array of people. Men, women, old, young. As a newly fit guy, it’s important for me to market myself by walking around semi-frequently. I don’t thirstily parade myself in front of coworkers all day. But I often thirstily take the scenic route to…

I’ve had several interactions with women this year. Some clearly reflect interest, others repugnance. I accept both. I’m starting to wear my rejections with pride. As I build frame and put myself up for rejection, I’ve made progress. But my defeatist mindset occasionally surfaces. When it does, my imagination starts…

Shame check. There is a family I see all the time at the gym. Mother and father work out there (I now know both of them by name). Their daughter is a lifeguard at the pool. A high school girl. I always found her quite attractive. But from a distance…

Married smoke show coworker who always wears black. Lynx is close to onyx. Another whose looks intimidated me. For practice today, I invaded her cubicle unannounced to talk for 5 minutes. She hadn’t been around in a while (off over holidays and working from home). Conversation goals. Show up unannounced…

A lot of themes coinciding as action mounts. First, despite progress on self-prioritizing (hallmark of an alpha mindset), I suspect I’m still far too agreeable. Having said that, when I speak to women, I have more ease. And I think occasionally with a slight edge. This reflects moral ambivalence. Agreeable|Nice…

I work with Cardinal. She maintains a rigorous level of business attire. A real biz-pro-smokeshow. Every outfit is just a little too professional (and too sexy) for our office. I love it. She’s one of the most attractive women in our office. A blonde 8 in most cities. That makes…

Texting fail. Met her at a bar around Thanksgiving. Chatted off and on. Intrigued. I was game-clueless on anything beyond don’t act needy, give decent body language, etc. Extreme beginner notes. She was divorcing a “jerk” and was obsessed with another guy who tripped her trigger but had been withholding…
