Post subject:  Didn't believe it but...

Hi all,

I'm new and came by the game and all this Pick Up Artist business from an overly persistent friend not too long ago. I'll give a bit of background on myself and explain why I came to follow the game and believe in it.

I like to think I have a natural charm as I do tend to be able to naturally lead women once i'm comfortable around them however it takes a long time for me to become fully comfortable with a woman especially without the aid of alcohol. Heh. I was always up and down in my "natural game" which I later found to be tied to which people I was around taking up the role in one group as the recluse, weirdo hiding in corners and not talking to anyone; the other I would be the guy everyone wanted to speak to and be around, the guy who could talk to women and not care what they or anyone else thought. I still enjoyed being out with either group but it was clear I had a better time as the person I was in the latter, the socially functional individual. I felt that was the real me and I continued more and more to be that kind of person as time went by. Unfortunately, as with all stories, I met a woman who did me a great injustice and basically ate away at everything that was good in me. I blame myself for getting sucked into that relationship but the damage was done and my personality was what was hit the hardest. After it I lost all the qualities that made me who I was and able to function properly in a social scenario. It's a sad story which thankfully didn't last too long. Then my friend pushed The Game on me, something I just didn't buy into at all nor cared to read until I seen it in action.

I was a sceptic at first, it all seemed very hocus pocus but then I started reading Neil Strauss' "The Game" at the insistence of my friend. I still wasn't sold, i'd read some of the terminology in the PUA community and what to do to open up a set and what not but then, on a night out, I seen two very attractive women(HB9/HB8) standing near the dance floor and seen a random guy come up to them and start chatting to them. He didn't look like alpha male material or in any way an Adonis. He looked below average. He was fat, slightly above average height, and had no features that stood out that women would care to comment on in a positive light. He wore a bright blue sweater top and jeans where these two women were fully dressed up and out to impress(Bright, slimming dresses, hair done up, expensive earrings, make-up perfectly done). I started to wonder what he was doing, maybe that he knew one of them and they were friends but from the look of it they didn't seem to know each other. He approached from an angle, smiled, whispered in their ears and immediately started talking to the HB8(The shorter of the two). I looked away and looked back two minutes later to see him talking to the HB9(Tall blonde). They were chatting away and seemed really into the conversation. It all felt familiar, as if i'd seen it or heard it somewhere. I went to the toilet, told some girls to watch my drink(I was reading up on the game at this point and trying to sift through approach anxiety), went to the bathroom and came back five minutes later. My drink was still there, I gave the girls acknowledgement for looking after my drink and suddenly it struck me what was going on with the guy in blue. He was opening a two set. I looked back to where the guy in blue was and seen that he was still there but instead of him having a pleasant conversation with the girl both his hands were up in the air as if someone was pointing a gun at him and the girl kept leaning in on him. I was baffled, I had no idea what was going on only to see her push into him all the while leaning in for a kiss. While this was going on the guy in blue was leaning back, both hands in the air with his palms open. Finally he gave in and kissed her. This went on for a bit only for the guy to try and leave. At that moment the girl literally latched onto him, begging him to stay. When he left the expression on the HB9's face said "What the hell just happened?" She looked lost and confused. I knew what had happened. The guy had played her. I was gob smacked. It worked!

The memory of that night stuck with me and after a week or two I finally got around to reading The Game and take it more seriously where before I read small bits here and there and only got as far as page thirty. It's an entertaining read but for a book that's supposed to be non-fiction I was highly sceptical until that point. I read on and haven't been able to put it down since, especially given the last few nights out and the tactics i've used. I've kept it simple, opened with simple lines such as "Hey, I heard this trick and I want to try it on someone...", approached from angles(Never from behind. Never facing them. Always from the side), tried negging and kept the friend comfortable enough not to want to walk away and it's all worked. I've had around 90% success rate at opening and carrying conversations and had a few instances where I could k-close(But hadn't the balls to try my luck). I'm new to the game, i've a long way to go but I really feel like i'm getting the confidence I once had back. It's all beginning to feel like a game to me now, just having fun when i'm out, talking to randomers and having a laugh.

I'm far off from an f-close but i'm sure i'll be close to k-closing on the regular in due time. Right now, atleast, i'm in it for the fun of it. I'm enjoying randomly talking to women, going out with my mate who got me into this stuff and just having fun with it in general.
