Good evening/morning/day,

Hailing from the sunny shores of Miami, FL here, it is a pleasure to join such an esteemed seduction community. Like many students of "the game," my first exposure to the tenants of pick-up as a workable art was with N.Strauss' infamous book of the same name. I took to consuming as many concepts as possible, practiced with a group of like-minded peers, and more or less had a fairly healthy set of experiences with the opposite sex whilst making my living as a pianist (which the blog link in my signature more or less concerns).

Until recently that is.

Being preoccupied with university, work, and a semi-LTR have dulled what I felt was a much healthier and well rounded concept of self. I became complacent, stopped pushing myself (in areas not just limited to seduction), and didn't have the same hunger for challenge. The glint in my eye was dying a bit (and we're only talking a couple years with no playboy mansion rivaling parties. a travesty I know).
Well, it only took one week for my entire foundation to be in a state upheaval, as I lost my job, the girl I was seeing, and a couple other unimportant intangibles like "pride" and "income." After the requisite amount of coping time (basically making love to a bottle of Jack Daniels) I've come to look at this turn of events as the most blessed chance I could have been given.

By simply not being able to take a step back, breathe, and assess where I was, I had COMPLETELY forgotten my goals. I had maintained that I didn't want a LTR, yet that's exactly where I was (the "semi" before was self preservation you see).

So I'm jumping headfirst now. For me, this extends far beyond picking up women. I want to completely enhance my being as a man. The whole gamut; physique, style, knowledge, taste, etc. It's a taller order than reciting lines to get a woman into bed, but after where I'm emerging from, taking a bigger bite than I can chew is exactly what I need. And I damn sure intend to chew it.

I was never able to really jump on board some of the more routine based methods in the past (due to how unfulfilling it felt to jump inside a readily made persona) but I am open to covering all that ground. I'm in a position where I have to market myself and seduce others not only for my own interest but for my livelihood as well. I'm prepping for war.

Looking forward to learning a ton.
