Quotas for doing approaches in state and out of state

For regular PUAs or beginners who wants to learn game, after going through the green stage of the game they usually get extremely reliant on state. For anyone who is unfamiliar with states, it is basically an NLP concept of having the right state of mind where you can allow yourself to have peak performances. Athletes, public speakers and musicians do this all the time, they will do warm up or drills that allows them to perform the best. For the four hour PUA, this is not possible. Unless you are a season pro, it takes at least 1/2 hr to get into state and usually takes 1–2 hr for people who work an introverted job (such as software development). Getting results only when you are in-state is not efficient for the four hour PUA.

Solution: Quotas for closing out of state

When we are used to beasting in state, we often forget how much time in a week we spend on just trying to get in state. Gaming 4 times a week and using one hour every time to get in state is already 4 hours of precise time being wasted. To be efficient, this is my remedy: Do more day game, and push every day game interaction as far as you can.

There is no more warm ups so every set counts. You will be amazed by how much time you were actually wasting before and also how much better your game is out of state than what you think you are. Sure, you game won’t be as smooth when you are out of state, but a little bit of being uncalibratied makes you even more human and less gamey. Since you don’t have a lot of social momentum to carry you, thus you have to force yourself to dig deep into building a connection such as 1)being sincere in what you say 2)be genuinely interested in the other person and finally it will make your inner game much stronger because you will never use state as an excuse anymore.

Suggested exercise:

  1. If you are used to using 5 warm up sets, try something new. Try for the first five sets, you have to try your best to close and observe what is your weakness in the game when you are out of state.
  2. When you walk out, approach the FIRST PERSON you see and run you game like the person is the last set you game in a given gaming section

After you have developed the habit of closing when your state set point is the lowest, it creates two snowballing effect

  1. You allow yourself to have way more opportunities than a normal PUA
  2. when you actually get into beast mode time, your game increase exponentially

Try it out and see how it affects your game long term. And remember, this is much harder than beginner level stuff so don’t judge yourself if you are not getting the same results as before.
