Beginner’s Hell
Quick Definition: The first 6 months of getting into the game and the difficulty of the learning curve that affects most guys.
Full Definition:
For guys who are less socially calibrated (former geeks, nerds, loners), the beginning first 6 months is literally a beginner’s hell. They must first become more socially calibrated in interacting with people in general, as well as trying to pickup girls. A lot of rejection is waiting for them. They have to make fundamental changes to their voice tonality, body language, and overall posture. We call this the 6 months beginner’s hell because for these guys, it usually takes the first 6 months to get from opening to getting laid.
For more natural guys (i.e successful businessmen who can’t talk to women), the first 6 months may represent more progression and a lesser chance of giving up. However, it is still relatively difficult. Usually, reframing helps in dealing with the term “beginner’s hell”. Instead, treat it as a learning experience. Every encounter helps you in some way. Every failure has it itself a seed of equivalent success.

Actually, I am a geek and one of the big reasons I want to learn a lot of these techniques is not to get laid a lot, but to improve my career by increasing my skills in business interactions. I’m fine with other geeks, but I have to learn the interactions with managers and above.
yeah right…
I think you’re right. With any big change the start is always the hardest but I thrive on challenges and actually seek them out which is the best mindset I’ve ever adopted. I can’t wait to dive into some of this stuff!
