I just came across this article and it seems very similar to rooshs prescribed method for handling approach anxiety.

Give it a read if its something you struggle with now and again.

Very interesting article, I think the paradox method can be applied to virtually anything.

You can also overcome approach anxiety by:

(1) Realizing that bitchiness isn't a bitch shield, it's just bitchiness, so that particular bitchy woman sucks as a human being. Now you know!

(2) Realizing that super hot chicks are more interesting and easy to get to know than dowdy little feminist crazy chicks. The fact that hot chicks are more confident means they are used to being social, used to being said hi to. They are not fundamentally driven by pain, the pain of the guy not calling back. They don't have so much pain from hooking up.

(3) Feel especially calm relating to super hot chicks exactly because they are self-improvement-based human beings just like YOU are. They are your potential soul mate, thus, and you should feel CALM around them thus for they really are the female version of yourself.

(4) Notice that in all other animals the male has to peacock to succeed, whereas in human beings, it's the females visually competing for attention of males.

(5) Appreciate how the article you link to is mental masturbation that only would appeal to a keyboard jockey.

I would appreciate that you read the link if you want to reply to my post but to each his own I guess. Incorporating both real life experience and acquired knowledge is the basis of pick up. If we all went out and did whatever we felt like without reading some useful material first (i.e. Bang) then we would all be less further ahead than we are now.

Regarding the first four points, I don't think they are useful for beginners at all, also what is your obsession with "super hot chicks"?

The article is great. It applies wholeheartedly to game.

@NikFromNYC your #5 is unnecessary; I suggest refraining from childish insults like when you're so new to the forum. A respectful comment would have instead been fine.

@starboy In the future I would encourage you to quote the article or portions of it within the post and offer commentary if you would like. And no need to egg Nik on.

Earn your place here guys. It's amateurish and feminine to bicker like this.

Basically you would try to get rejection which is is the opposite of approach anxiety if I understood the article right. You do the thing you fear conscientiously which changes how you think about it.
