Working as a bouncer...perfect example of what's wrong...
I have mentioned a couple times in different threads that I work as a bouncer in Orange County, CA. I see the best...I see the worst. Last night, two instance stood out. 1) A guy was cold approaching several women. Not having any luck at all. Which is not unusual. The part that stood out. When one woman was leaving the bar, he yelled to get her attention. Literally ran over to her, tripping on his way. To give her his name and number that he had written on a coaster. She looked at her friends, they all laughed and threw the coaster on the ground as they left. 2) A woman was complaining that Costco needed to start selling Plan B. Because she was tired of paying $65 at Walgreens. Both of these are examples of why MOA is so important, and truly effective.

And in tonight's episode of what's wrong at the bar....one of the regulars from one bar I work at showed up at the other bar tonight with a woman. I didn't recognize her. So he introduced me. She was hanging on him most of the night. Long story short. By the end of the night she was making out with someone else basically right in front of him. And while they came together he left in an uber by himself. Every night I see something, that before I would have just chalked up to the way it is...but now because of MOA I am seeing a completely different view point.

Building my list...
I am putting together my list of 2,000. Probably 4,000, since I am in Orange County, and can include LA. Do I care if they are single or not? Is it only people that would be my ideal? Or am I simply looking for "influencers," "models," that type of thing?

@Brett Stringfellow Thanks. I had watched that about 3 times. Still unsure of a couple things. But...this is my current question. Do we add private accounts? Or only public ones?
Building Social Proof / Getting Followers / Drop Your IG Handle
It seems like a lot of the guys here are just starting out building their Instagram profiles and have very few followers. This immediately breaks the whole preselection and "social proof" illusion, in my opinion. A "verified" checkmark next to your name is only worth something if you have a consistent following, otherwise it's just stupid (no real point in paying Meta a monthly fee if only your mom follows you on Instagram). This is not a new idea at all (and I believe similar threads already exist on this forum), but instead of growing in isolation, let’s create a simple place to connect. Drop your IG handle below + 1 sentence on your niche/vibe. Follow 5–10 people above you whose content you genuinely resonate with, and like a few posts so the algorithm connects you. When you follow someone, reply to their comment so they can follow back if they want. The goal is to create a supportive, high-quality social graph inside the group, not a cheesy “follow-for-follow.” This should help everyone get early momentum and makes the algorithm less brutal when starting from zero.

Fixing my Instagram…
I went through the OMDS course. And of course step 1 is “fix your fucking Instagram”. So I have been working on that. I have already seen an uptick. My pics are now actually getting likes. And some comments. I even got a DM from a women “damn you have been getting it on with the ladies” These pics are current with a mix of old. I think I’ve got this going in the right direction. I’m wanting to go with the “Sartain” archetype. Here is my current Instagram grid. I could use some eyes and feedback on this. TIA!

Something I have been learning going through the MOA process, and this video particularly, I look at my marriage. We were together almost 30 years. And wow. So many things I put up with, so many things I allowed simply coming from scarcity. I am so glad I found this community.
