Immediately add Emperor. Immediately drop SSX. Keep Khan ST2. Finish off your cycle.

Might be hard for a few weeks, go slow on whichever sub (ST2/Emp) is giving you the recon. Combining them will be helpful. If you can do both for longer, do it.

I like the idea, Emperor has sounded interesting to me in the last month or two. Any thoughts on RICH?

RICH = Bad for you

Day 8 rest

Thoughts: Last night was good and cool and felt good to be just normal and social (after last night I realize it’s been too long). I haven’t been hanging out with people nearly as much as I used to starting in 2020 not only because of the “pandemic” but also because I stopped drinking in Dececmber 2019. During my early-mid 20s I was drinking almost every time I hung out with friends, so I became used to it. Stopping alcohol + “pandemic” = being social more difficult. I no longer have a crutch or a shield of drunkeness to hide myself.

Come to think of it, I don’t organize my life in such a way as to make it easy to meet/attract women…
Therefore, how can I organize/plan my life in such a way as to meet/attract women?..

Edit: I may have said this here before but one of my big blocks to just going and hooking up with women (and getting turned down a lot in the process of course) is this feeling of “I don’t want to let my bros down or make any guy around us feel bitter/jealous”, and that is a HUGE fucking reason I NEVER quite had the sex life I wanted. Well, I guess when I was drinking I sort of did because it was easier because I kind of compartmentalized it into “I was drunk” and that made it more endearing to me in a way. Being sober and having inhibitions, yeah I’m afraid my actions might cause a guy in the vicinity to feel jealous/bitter/sad/lonely/envious etc. because I’VE felt that way and I don’t want to be the reason another guy feels that way, so I’ve actually gone out of my way, out of consideration, to turn down the flirting and “game” when other people are around, and while that makes me feel a bit good and noble, it also keeps me frustrated and lonely and seeing other guys doing what I want to do (making out, having gf’s etc).Those guys aren’t toning down their game, they’re not feeling bad for the guys around them, so why should I? Anyway, maybe I should just go scorched earth and not give af about the guys/people around me and just go for the girls I’m interested in, no holds barred. Just be bold, I have nothing to lose really. I’m not a politician or celebrity where every little thing I do ends up on the news/in a magazine.

Day 10 rest

Thought: beliefs are basically affirmations that run your life.

Also, I kinda feel guilt/FOMO for not doing what everyone here says, which is basically “start with Ascension, then Emperor, then Wanted/Khan” etc., I basically went backwards. Should’ve started with the foundation. Then again, hopefully it doesn’t matter that much and can be just as effective going backwards.

Day 11

K ST2 4 min, Emperor 2:30 min.

Edit: woke up early today without trying. Couldn’t go back to sleep.

Note: need to remember to stay fed.

nobody really starts with ascension anymore. That was very 2021.

The old reason for it is because subs used to be built like russian matroshka dolls.

Ascension was in ascended mogul. Ascended Mogul in Emperor. Emperor in Khan. So people recommended running those before Khan, and then adding Primal or Wanted before Khan too because that does focus on sexual belief-healing a lot more than Emperor would.

EDIT: and so th argument was that you “prep” for Emperor by running ascended mogul, “prep” for Khan by running Emperor. But that only applied back when subs used more brute force and when recon was worse and when they were nested titles. Now, they’re all different, and if you want to “prep” to run Emperor, you just run 30-60s of Emperor until you’ve built a foundation, etc.

Day 14 rest

Eh today sucks so far, no results really.

Edit: Thinking about it, I pretty much sincerely believe that almost any guy (unless he’s literally a crazy homeless person or smells terrible etc.) can get girls (even hot girls), the key is confidence.

What is confidence? It’s 100%, without hesitation, owning everything you do, and having no reservations about it (while still remaining respectful of course). If done in the right way, I can see old guys with gray hair getting girls. It’s like a very “forward” energy, no pulling back. The key is that the guy has to sincerely, truly, from the heart want it and go for it even with the potential dangers. And btw maybe this applies to anything, not just girls. It could be for getting up and getting a cup of coffee.

This was my original goal and I might’ve strayed from it. Idk if emperor is helping with this.

Maybe, maybe I just need to take more action. Need to do the approach machine bullshit again. But yeah I am feeling needy rn, I just want sexual pleasure from a girl.

Emperor recon. You could give into it - or you could become sick of your old patterns. That’s the action this recon is asking you to take

For sure, with this stack it feels like you HAVE to take action or you WILL feel like shit, and that might be what I need. When I do take action though it feels powerful, but I do feel kinda upset when it doesn’t go my way, then I feel pushed to take action till it does (by that I mean talk to other girls etc. until I get a positive interaction).

My 2 cents…Khan is way more than enough for your goals but you need to run it solo or with accessory titles which aren’t archetypal (not Emperor, Stark, etc.). So Khan would be good with Sanguine, AoH, etc. to minimize recon and keep it at bay.

Also you need to build a foundation first with the Genesis line because I’m seeing a trend here with people jumping from advanced titles to even more advanced stacks titles like there’s no tomorrow without even doing the necessary beginner steps to start with.

Khan + Emperor is way too dense in my honest opinion and it should be run by people who have had proper results on both titles first.

I have run Emperor in the past for several cycles but after playing with LBfH, Ascended Mogul and Genesis for several months first to build a foundation.

For sure, thanks for the input. For now I’ll probably keep Emperor because the recon isn’t that bad so far and I actually do like how it feels, and if it gets bad I’ll cut down loop time or drop it. Khan is the main focus. I actually got recon from AoH, though it could’ve just been overexposure (I was running a dense custom at the time). LBfH, never ran but always had it on my radar, same with Genesis (though I have both).

Day 15

3 min Khan, 2:05 min Emperor, 2 min AC.

Edit: the addition of AC feels very positive. Things have been going good for me all day. Discovered a good book on body language (Love Signals, highly recommended), and I’m in a good mood as a result :smiley::+1:

Day 16 rest

Decent day, asked one girl at yoga out, and she said no at first cuz she recently got out of a relationship, but I continued to talk and she later agreed to get coffee or hike etc. (not today). Later literally asked a girl who I picked up food from, in front of like 8 people “would you go on a date with me?”

She was surprised and said she has a boyfriend, I said “Oh, is it serious?” (8 people including her coworker still watching/listening), she said something like “yeah well it’s been like a year” and I said “Oh, I see. Shouldn’t relationships be fun and not serious?” and she got tongue-tied and blushing for a couple seconds and eventually said “that’s a good point” (she was smiling the whole time btw), then I said “well what’s your name?” She told me, and I told her mine, and I said “well, hopefully it won’t be awkward if I pick up from here again”, and she said something like “oh no not at all” and I we said bye to each other and I walked out.

Here’s the thing, I didn’t think she was that cute, but I just really really wanted to do something outside my comfort zone and make progress in some way before going home.
