Good day, sirs.

My name is Damien Harvey, I'm 26 and from Newport in South Wales. The moniker I keep on here, flair, is my pick up name, I suppose. It's not a name I ever use. I find that idea doesn't suit my personality at all, but the notion behind it is one that I love. You create a character and become that person. The combination of everyone you ever looked up to.

I digress. I was an avid pick up artist for quite a while. It was all about sex, sex, sex with anyone I could get my hands on. For nine months, an old friend and I were seemingly an unstoppable force blasting our respective loads through the women of Newport (recently made popular by the Channel 4 documentary 'Bouncers'...yes, I admit, I did sleep with a couple of the 'rough' ones, much to my shame). But then I met a young lady named Kat and I fell in love. We were together for just shy of two years. I proposed to her under a waterfall and then, as do most things, it turned to shit and we broke up.

I dealt with it in a respectful, dignified and gentlemanly way. I got blind drunk for six months and slept with a friend, a stranger and a virgin. I'm a classy lad at times.

However, since then I've encountered a problem. I can talk to women, I can strike up friendships and I can get LJBF'd like a champ. I've become the best friend of three of the most beautiful and most amazing women I've ever had the fortune of meeting. I'm not completely adverse to this, of course. I have beautiful and amazing friends. However, as a man, I do want to sleep with them.

So that's why I'm here. I want break past this and remember how to sleep with women instead of just being the gay best friend who's actually straight.

I'll explain a little about myself seeing as this is an introduction. I'm rather recently unemployed after holding a job a despised for three years. I'm looking for something that I enjoy, not that pays ridiculously well. My financial problems have led me back home with the parents, which isn't ideal but it can't be helped.

I'm a musician. I play guitar and I sing. I'm trying to carve out a career in that. Or rather, I'm playing one gig a month because I'm exceptionally lazy and for that last few months extremely unmotivated (I hope that by coming here, I can find people in a similar boat and we can encourage each other).

I also, and this is the sob story, suffer from depression rather badly which leads me down a dismal path, often for weeks and months at a time. I was able, for a while, to keep it in a check but I have good days and bad days (like that guy off the advert for mental health), but it's something that I try to not let take over my life.

I'm a huge lover of fashion and rather extroverted in my approach to it, leading many people to think I'm gay. Well, I'm also incredibly camp which probably does nothing for the image, but that's something that I've accepted, worked on and now it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I enjoy being camp. It allows me to wear more ridiculous clothes, guyliner and draw hearts on my nails (which I have been known to do).

My hair is thinning, which does bother me. I'm getting that patch towards the back but it's not horrific at the moment. I fear it will be within a year or two. To combat my immense fear of going bald, I shaved all my hair off about seven months ago. It was down to my shoulders and I woke up one morning and went all Britney Spears. It was terrifying, liberating and huge testament to my vanity, which at times gets the better of me. But that day I won.

I'm relatively thin, but have put weight on recently. I'm horribly unfit and plan on changing this in the coming months. I haven't run for more than ten seconds in years, so I'm going to try the couch-5k system, which is almost embarrasing because it shows how drastically unfit I am.

I also dislike my teeth. They aren't bad, just a little small and not perfectly straight.

As a rule, I'm comfortable with who I am but lately if I approach a women it's sex in mind (another trait I should eradicate, but I do on the rare occasion think with my penis) I've been suffering with AA. I know it's natural, I know it's combatted by just getting it over with, but it's not that easy to just do. So, that's another sticking point I suppose.

So that's essentially me in a nutshell (a rather large nutshell, but I assume that's what this forum is for). If you've made it this far, then congratulations. I hope you've enjoyed your first impression of me and that you can help me grow into someone far more wonderful than I could ever have hoped to be. Or help get me laid, either is fine.
