How to End a Cold Streak in 5 Easy Steps

April 6, 2021 by Jack North 1 Comment

An unfortunate reality of the player lifestyle is that nobody can be successful 100% of the time. Even the best players go through cold streaks from time to time, and they can be terribly demoralizing.

Even in these down periods, which you may well be on right now if you’re seeking out this site for the first time, it’s critical that you trust the process and your training.

However, these 5 tips can help you to get through it and come out better and stronger on the other side.

1. Hit the Gym

I know that this might seem obvious to a lot of you guys out there, but going to the gym has myriad benefits for your physical and mental health.

Of course, going to the gym is critical for your physical health as well as your physique. If you feel like your looks or body have something to do with your current cold streak, especially if you’ve put on some winter skin or some quarantine pounds, shedding some of that will help with your looks and confidence a lot.

Can I Have Your InstaFaceTweetPlus?

October 5, 2016 by Jack North Leave a Comment

I got an interesting email from a reader earlier this week. He asked about a specific situation that I’ve noticed happening recently, but at the same time, it seems to have always happened in one form or another.

The reader writes:

“I just broke up with my ex last week and this was the first time that I approached women in Seoul. I was at an outdoor concert with some coworkers and saw a cute girl sitting not far from us. There were 3 girls and one guy (coworker with one and not dating any of them) in the group. I ended up chatting with them for about 10-15 minutes. Everything seemed to be going well, and as I was finishing the conversation, I mentioned that I didn’t know very many people in Seoul and it would be great to hang out with them. To be honest I don’t remember exactly what they said or what I said, but the girl closest to me asked me if I was on Instagram. I said that I wasn’t but that I do have Kakao and offered to exchange IDs. At that point, the guy said that I should start using Instagram so that I could “meet fancy ladies.” That created a rather awkward moment, and at that point, I asked the girl again about Kakao. There wasn’t much of a response and I didn’t want to linger, so I politely excused myself and went back to my friends empty-handed. To be honest, I thought asking for my Instagram was a bit of a polite way to say Fuck off, so I didn’t try too hard after that.

All of my friends that I was with are foreigners most of whom are either married to other foreigners or just moved here a few weeks ago as well. When I went back and told my friends, one said that asking for my Instagram was a good thing and meant she was interested. This was very confusing for me. So the question is, should her asking about Instagram be perceived as a good signal or a polite way to reject? Is not having, nor wanting to have an Instagram account, possibly going to be problematic in the future?”

Okay players, let’s unpack this! [Read more…] about Can I Have Your InstaFaceTweetPlus?

First Q&A with Jack North

January 11, 2016 by Jack North 1 Comment

Hey players! In several posts I have put out a call for questions, and I’ve received quite a bit of email feedback. While I answer all my emails personally, I would like to take a chance to answer the most frequently asked questions in an open forum. I’ve tried to group them together in a way that makes sense as a straight read through, so they’re not necessarily in the order of most to least asked, but rather a more flowing thought process for both me and you readers.

The most basic question always comes from guys who are having trouble meeting women in Korea. These guys all come from different countries and backgrounds with wildly different personality types from the false bravado of young military bucks to the bookworm type who are still wearing their chinos out on the town like it’s a 90’s nightclub. The one commonality between all these men and their inability to get the women and numbers they want is their skepticism of the game.

The single most common question among them all is:

“Why should I learn ‘game’?” [Read more…] about First Q&A with Jack North
