Hi, I'm new to the forum! I kinda forgot to post in here first off but it's better late than never, right?

First off I'm based in Reading, UK, I'm 23 and first got into the game through a combination of word of mouth and buying an audiobook of "The Game" by Neil Strauss. My friend then got me to study Magic Bullets by Savoy and that's what really kicked things into gear. As far as practising pick up goes, I've not really run a lot of heavy stuff from what I've learned. I already have a great social circle of girls and a lot of friends. I'm a very outgoing social person and for all of my adult life so far I've never really found it hard to make friends or even talk to strangers. My main sticking points are just flipping an interaction from being in a "oh isn't he nice, maybe he could be my new friend" frame to a "oh isn't he nice, maybe I'll suck his dick" frame (a bit blunt, but you get the picture).

So far I can say I've had reasonable success, mainly in opening, spotting IOI's and how to use DHV's effectively. A lot of this stuff just seems like common sense but laid out in a way that's easier to understand, plus without all the misconception gunk and Hollywood BS spin which seems to get applied to every kind of romantic encounter (just be yourself, remember to compliment her, don't stare at her chest, etc)

My goal is whatever comes, be it short or long term romance, I guess I'll decide what I want depending on the girl.
