1) Probably that the idea that's it's perfectly OK to approach women in day to day situations. I've always approached at bars & clubs, but never in broad daylight before my ventures into the whole dating advice/seduction community. Besides whatever technical advice instructors and e-books might give, the realization that I could approach perfect strangers really gave me that feeling that the world was/is my oyster and cemented that "abundance mentality" mindset in me.

2) Found a speech by Dream of the 21 convention about fitness and nutrition really helpful. By eating paleo, walking a lot, and HIIT, I lost about 30 lbs last year.

3) Fashion and body language. I was lacking both in terms of fashion and bad body language. I just tweaked my body language because I used to fidget around with my hands a lot and put them in my pockets when I was nervous. Now I look a lot more relaxed while talking to anybody. And I always buy stuff that fits now instead of the really baggy look I used to do. And with shirts, I try to get them tailored in case they don't fit that well off the rack or in some cases, clothes bought off of the internet.

4) Touching, escalation (most notably 60's stuff).

Realizing my own value

I was the guy who was way to critical of himself.

I made a joke--> I could have been funnier
I did a great job--> it could have been better
A girl gave me eye contact or approached me--> damm why wasn't she hotter, maybe I'm not that attractive

.......

Once I realized my own value, I began to notice that I was ahead of a lot of other guys naturally. I also began to believe a lot more in my own talents.

Now I'm critical of myself in a healthy way, a way that allows me to improve myself while still being able to enjoy what I already have.

From recent experiences:
1. The realization that not everything you do has to be top notch. That you're allowed to screw up. And that it's ok to fail. In result I'm taking my chances spontaneously now, whereas before I was calculative and would try so hard not to fail that I didn't do a thing. Now, thanks to some experiences and some things Mark wrote, I don't see things that I considered failure before as failures no more.
2. The realization I have to get more balls. The more the merrier.
3. I realized chicks like me.
4. I went to a hairdresser and got new shoes.

Many resources. Single most helpful though, I'd have to go with Live Program with Rob Judge & Zack Bauer. It was the kernel impetus that led me to where I am today.

While bootcamp was helpful, I actually got more just hanging out with Rob & Zak during off-the-cuff moments that weren't related to pickup at all. My entire demeanor changed.

New product coming up?

Infield Videos Direct Day Game, with comments why things went good, and why not.

I have internalized some great advice over the years. Stuff like body language, kino, dominance, etc.

If I have to make a list now, I'll say this, but I'm probably forgetting a lot. You can tell from my list that I'm one of those guys that was/is mostly held back by anxiety and inner game stuff. When I do put myself out there, things go well generally.
1. Sexuality is not bad. My sexuality is good, natural, healthy. It's also good and healthy to be dirty, naughty, perverted, and so on. We all are. (Of course assuming situations of mutual consent and respect.) When you try to hide or repress (part of) your sexuality is when the nasty stuff happens.

2. Women are also very sexual. They can enjoy the same dirty things that we can! They want sex. They love sex. They fantasize. And so on...

3. Related to 2: If you're talking and she's attracted, she wants you to ask her number, to kiss her, to touch her, to escalate. She will actually feel incredibly disappointed if you don't. If you try to escalate things and she rejects it, and you're cool about it, she will be completely okay with it.

The single most helpful thing to me was the core idea of the Community: How good you are with women is not something given by nature, its something you can work on.

On a practical level: Getting the balls to make a move, escalate and be persistent and aggressice. I.e. not being a pussy.

-Random guy at the gym (looking at all the hot girls): I fall in love by the hour.

1) Some guy on a German forum who pointed me to "Double your Dating". This was how I came to know about the community in the first place. Before I read that book I was still wondering why my first girlfriend broke up with me (which had happened two years(!) before). Then I read David DeAngelo's book and I was like "DAMN, it is so obvious". That were some life changing hours.

2) Finally having had the balls to go out with a local lair to see that stuff in action. And being pushed into sets and realizing that I myself am able to attract women I didn't know 30 minutes ago. That was like taking the red pill.

3) Mark's recent post about his believes. The one that we have only this one life really made me think. I mean, it is pretty obvious, but reading it made me realize how much I still worry about what other people think when I do this or do that, instead of just going for what I want. It was kinda painful to see that I still am afraid of so many unnecessary and peripheral things in life, but also a very very helpful reality check.
