Hi, I'm 27, and live in Tempe AZ. I was very socially awkward and had a major fear of talking to women and I really hated the fact that women intimdated me. I began to do research on the internet and discoverd the pua community through David D'angelo, read some Ross Jeffries stuff, never tried his approach, but I still got a little something from it. Same with Stephane Hemon, I fixed a lot of my own problems from him. Don't really have a favorite, just always learning and trying to grow as a person. Apparently my natural personality is cocky/funny/flirty so the David D stuff really helped me in the beginning. Just missing some tools that could help me to keep them around longer than just hooking up. My hobbies are surfing, swimming, music, lifting weights, jogging, hiking, cars, and learning to do stuff. Usually when I attract a woman, I have no idea why it happened, but I go with it. Need to understand the Whats, and Whys, because currently I'm clueless.

Identify your weak points with the goal of strengthening them but not drastically changing who you are in the process. If you feel you are socially awkward and feel intimidated there a plenty of things you can do to work on that around the pick up stuff- volunteer and join new groups, take a public speaking class or acting lessons, etc.. All of these things can help you become more comfortable and possibly lead to you meeting a new group of friends and if you mix this with your PU studies you will be on your way.
