I guess I could start off with some corny line about the "hound is now on the hunt" or something to that effect, but I think I'll just say that: I'm fairly new to the game as an art. After being reintroduced into the wild and with a fairly diminished sense of self-worth, I found that my ability to interact with the opposite sex had not only returned to a previously low level (as it was prior to my first and only relationship), but had sunk even lower. Now, I will say that, just before I began my relationship, my confidence and social abilities were actually at a decent level, far from the meek and withdrawn state I found them in all throughout high school and most of my junior college days. After my breakup, however, I found myself in the wreckage of a shattered self-image that I've been attempting to repair ever since.

A few months after my break up, a friend introduced me to The Game by: Neil Strauss, which I admit, I did not finish, but read enough to spark my interest in the PUArt. While I did not look into it very much for the first few months, a year, in fact (now that the I think about it), I have recently found myself enthralled my art. In fact, after studying for the past few months, I have found that at different parts of my life, I incorporated various aspects of Game theory into my social interactions without even realizing it, but merely lacked the know-how required to repeat these tactics and also, the knowledge of how and when to escalate. Of course, this isn't to say that I approach women a lot and am able to interact, but unable to focus - I don't. All of my interactions have been fallen into bass-ackwards or been a side-effect of anothers approach, or some other situational consequence. In fact, I have never approached - EVER. I've never even been shot down, but only because I've never tried. That being said, the reason I am here and the reason I am so interested in Game is so I can go out and put myself on the line and actually give myself the opportunity to fail, to be shot down, rejected, whatever BUT at the same time, give myself the chance to be successful and happy and fulfilled.

More so than simply wanting to begin, hone, and perfect my game for self-gain, I also want to be able to help others with the same or different issues. I want to learn, so that I may be like the Prometheus of Game, bringing down the fire from the gods and giving it to all the men who need and deserve it.

I hope to be able to report and contribute as much as I possibly can.
