Hi there Guys! I'm a newcomer from Brazil and decided for this introduction to follow Chief's recommendations to post. So here we go.

>where you're located
I'm located in São Paulo, Brazil.

>your age
23 yo.

>how you got into "the game"
A friend of mine started reading The Game (Style) so I got interested and started reading too.

>how long you've been studying and practicing pickup
I started studying pickup materials on 2008 but I kinda gave up on it, simply because I stopped hanging out often. But I studied for 6 months only (which helped me a lot already)

>which pickup method(s) you like to use
I don't really follow a single pickup method. I like to read everything I think it's relevant for my own game. I honestly don't believe there is a "magic method", or even a method that will work for everybody.

>what your hobbies/passions are
I like to practice Muay Thai (kickboxing) Been doing it for three years. Also I have a rock band (I'm the singer). We play covers of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Foo Fighters, etc. I like to play football (soccer) too, which I do once a week (I'm a goalskeeper).

>what your goals are
My only goal is to get better each day on my game. I'm actually a little bit shy, so this disturbs me as it affects my game (and other aspects of my life too). But I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have fun coming back to the game!

>and whatever back story you wish to share with us.
One thing that helped me A LOT when I was a player back to 2008 was a game that I created with a couple friends. We had like a pickup championship and that gave us more courage to start a conversation or whatever. It was pretty fun and I highly recommend that to newcomers.
I also leave here my invitation to join me on pickups if you are located in São Paulo too.

Thanks for reading, cheers!
