First off let me say that I have a tremendous respect for all the PUAs and PUAs in training that I have read/heard/seen even the ones younger than me (I'm 21).

I live in the beautiful city of San Francisco. Practically grew up in or near the city at various points in my life; I had heard about the world and lifestyle of the PUAs and just kind of shrugged it off as a nerd's way of getting laid.

I was incorrect.
I got my hands on a copy of Neil's Strauss "The Game" and have not been able to put it down. Though it is told in a narrative format and not at all what I was expecting, I still felt like I had stumbled onto something great. I wrestled with the idea of even trying these new techniques I had read about, until about three days ago at a New Year's Eve party.
There was a co-worker who I had been acquainted with for a short time and she just seemed to fall into the right place at the right time. I remembered the "negs" and decided I wanted to see if they worked. She was holding my hand by the end of the night (after using some of the value tricks). I couldn't close however, because not only did I get AMOGed I also couldn't remember any closers.

So I come here not out of guilt, but instead with an eagerness to learn. I want to be proficient, methodical, and good at what I do. Who knows, maybe even great.

In short;
My name is Wade; I want to become a great PUA and use San Francisco as my playground. I hope to learn and share with all of you here.
