    It was about 2 months ago, i've been doing nofap for about a year.
    In that specific day i think i was about day 20-30, which is pretty good for me.
    Me and my friends went for a bar, when usually i felt shy around the other people, this time was different, i was the life of the party, i made jokes, i made everyone laugh, everybody had such a good time, i didn't even drank i just felt confident in myself, so confident i decided to try and pick up a girl for the first time in my life (22 years old).
    The approach was surprisingly good, however she said no, i didn't mind that too much and decided to have another go 10 minutes later, this chick just gazed at me the entire night and my older thinking was telling me it's impossible that she is looking at me, she was beautiful, maybe there was somthing stuck on my hair?
    I have decided to put that voice aside for the first time in years, i went right at her and told her i think she's cute and i want her number, and i got it.
    Moreover, even later in that evening a girl came to our table and asked me for my number, it felt like i was in a movie, i didn't understand where all this came from, all happened so fast.
    There were ups and down to this year of the nofap jurney, i'm currently sneaking by day 42, and will break my previous record of 47 days once again, i have no doubt of that.

    Nice. Keep going.
    Growth is never linear. It is a zigzag journey.

    My man. I am currently going through the same kind of confidence boost, and it feels so good.

    My streak is not as high as I want it to be yet, but in the month of September I relapsed 3-4 times. That is huge for me.

    It makes me feel even better knowing that achieving a higher streak, like you, will be more rewarding.

    Congrats man, I wish you the best. Leave some girls for the rest of us.

  11. Man world is a Matrix, if you have seen that movie. You can do pretty much whatever but in the end truth is you are still in the system until you decide to give yourself all to God - it is then your eyes opens and you see clearly what cause what and how to escape being tool and avoid most troubles that generally happens to all who don't trust God and Jesus.

    I did nofap a few times before and there were moments where I felt like a life of a party and that some women were interested in me and some did flirt with me. It was a surprise because I am an introverted person and I could socialize here and there and go out sometimes but rarely. I was never a funny person and didn't have many interesting conversations but during that time I felt more confident and had good jokes from what I saw because people were laughing really hard at my jokes. Some say it's a placebo and it's all in the head if it works or it's a mind trick it does work no matter how you turn it and that is what is most important. I personally believe that there are benefits to this. I felt it and don't care if it's a placebo or not it is good to build self-discipline and respect for yourself and besides that, it's good not to stimulate your brain so much, you look at people not like objects but as people. No matter who you are or what your goals are it's good to try new things and see how does it affect you. I see you had similar experiences as I, glad you are doing great! Keep it up, man! Girl going up to you and asking a number is something crazy and unusual, wish you all the luck man you are crushing it.

    No matter what people say about the mechanisms, there is definitely a correlation between guys who used lots of porn, do NoFap or a YBOP style reboot, and then find themself much more "successful" in their romantic and sexual lives. Whether there's a placebo or not, something is definitely happening

    I do agree, abstaining from an urge that is primal and something that every animal has and is vital to our survival as a species is a great way to train your self-discipline. It's easy to avoid pain but to moderate or even control and abstain from pleasure is something hard and takes self-discipline. Sacrificing the present moment for the future takes patience and straight-of-will strength of character and is harder in this day and age when everything is instant and is super fast super available. First-world problems ironically.
