Hey everyone, my name is Henko, I'm 24 and live in JHB.
I got into the community a few years ago after I was fed up with, generally my whole social life.
Having loser friends, not going out on the weekends, not meeting new people and just having a boring life.
Last year I was the worst I ever was, I was unemployed for nearly a whole year, still had no friends,
had to rely on my parents to pay for pretty much everything I had. I put on a ton of weight and I had (have) no girlfriend, no friends...it was a big mess.
One day, I just decided to completely change everything.
I got my shit together, found a good stable job (one that I finally enjoy), I've been exercising regularly, losing weight, eating healthy, learning new things everyday (Japanese being of em) and just started looking after myself better...but even with all this change going on, I realized that my social life still isn't where it should be. I made a promise to myself that 2015 was going to be THE year I was going to make it.
I've read The Game, watched the videos, listened to the audio books and taken in all the theory about pickup, but there is no point in learning this if I wont ever put it into action. When I practiced approaching, I always did it Direct; Telling the girl straight what you think of her. I tried going Indirect, and as successful the approaches were,it wasn't my style...so I learnt from Adam Lyons and Kezia, my 2 favourite PUA's teaching Direct.
So now that things are going well for me, I want to take this hobby up again like I used to.
I want to meet other people who are easy going and also want to improve on themselves, and even
form friendships. I know how hard it is to make friends and meet new people (especially with this kind of hobby haha).
I know us South Africans are a little conservative, so we can even start a SPAM group instead of coming back to the forum (for the lair anyway).
I'm not afraid to admit, I'm an AFC...but I know enough to claw my way out of this shit and become my best self. I'm not afraid anymore. I welcome a good challenge, even it means starting all over again as a new me. If we are all AFC's, lets meetup and change TOGETHER.
So what do you say guys, do you want to join me?
