The Long Winter Ahead
One of my major goals for this year was to be happily bunned up right before winter starts. I probably could have been bunned up with this girl, but I knew that I wouldn’t have been happy with her. Probably not sad either, but restless and disappointed. At this point it looks as if I’ve failed in one of my major goals. Now, it’s time to prepare for the long winter ahead.
I see it as an opportunity. Lately my approach numbers have been pretty high, and if I’m not approaching a lot, I’m staying in sets longer or am spending most of my time with a couple of girls.
I’m reminded of last winter, where it started off rough. I talked to Roosh and VK about calling up my old girl. They told me that that was a bad idea. It’s like telling her that I’ve given up and failed. So I kept going out.
Even though fewer people are out, there are still some girls available. Last year I went too caveman on one girl who was really in to me and couldn’t get her out on a date. There was another chick who was sitting at a table with all of her friends. Her friends were coupled up, but she wasn’t. She looked miserable. I tried talking to her, but her voice was so timid and quiet that I just gave up. My whole point is that there’s still opportunity, and I believe that I’m better able to capitalize on it.
Additionally, I thought about doing a little salsa dancing. It’s been a long time since I last went out dancing, but it provides something to do on the off nights. It’s an interesting scene that deserves a thorough examination, which I will provide soon.
The biggest opportunity is during the day. I’ve meant to go out during the daytime, especially on weekends, only to be hobbled by massive hangovers. It’s a combination of forgetting to eat dinner, mixing drinks, and celebrating. So obviously I need to cut back on the drinking. We’ll see how that goes.
Even though the winter in DC is tougher than the summer, I’ve got no choice but to plow ahead. If anything, I owe it to my readers to keep having something to write about. Perhaps I will find a winter niche and share it with you.

Actually just did a writeup on this. It’s Girlfriend Season now!

“I talked to Roosh and VK about calling up my old girl. They told me that that was a bad idea. It’s like telling her that I’ve given up and failed. So I kept going out.”
I feel you. Good advice from Roosh and VK. Stay focused on the future. Last fall I was hooking up with a new girl every other weekend but wanted to get a girlfriend for the winter. I did but it instead killed my game by not staying sharp. It took a lot of time to get back on track and get my game back.
“The biggest opportunity is during the day. I’ve meant to go out during the daytime, especially on weekends, only to be hobbled by massive hangovers.”
Same here. Night game in Athens has gotten rougher since I have been here so I am starting to focus during the day while slowing down on my drinking which is impairing me.
Stay focused Rook. Love the blog.
If you need a girlfriend for the winter you are way too needy.
Just keep gaming. It doesn’t end because it is getting cold.
I had one girlfriend break up with me years back but still wanted me to go with her to San Diego for Xmas to spend it with her sister, parents and her brother-in-law who hated my guts.
Of course I saw it all. I would have been like Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents” so I said a big “NO”.
You ruin game by being needy.
