Post subject:  London, What's Good

Hey this is REV, new to #1 PUA Forum

I'm a student, 21, currently based in London, (but up for going sarging in other cities as well!)

I first started to get into "the game" when I was 16 after I watched a documentary on channel 4 called "The Rules of Seduction", -the documentary was supposed to criticise pickup, but after watching it I knew that pickup was a skill I wanted in my life, and I wanted to be part of this community.

At the time I was a normal guy, but completely hopeless with women; If I had a crush on a girl I'd be too nervous to say anything and i'd creep her out. But I read/ studied The Game and Rules of The Game by Neil Strauss as well as The Art of Seduction by Gambler and Double your Dating by David DeAngelo, and did some online research, and gradually I started to improve. I started to go out to clubs /raves and approach women and get numbers. I practised game a lot through text game, MSN and Facebook, and as I got better at this I started going on dates and getting K closes and some F closes. I also built a large social circle and then gamed mainly through this, though I still cold approached at night and was able to get closes through this, and the standard of women I was getting improved.

I never spoke to anyone about pickup and didn't meet anyone else in the community but learnt mainly from practise, imitating actors and learning from the PUAs written and video material mentioned above. I didn't learn too many routines, but used a lot of "cocky funny" techniques, though I feel that a lot of Gamblers outer game is more relevant to younger guys in the UK.

Eventually I ended up in a long term relationship with an HB10 / the girl of my dreams. This went well for the first year and a half at least, but I developed "one-itis" and gradually turned into a wussy, and I stopped approaching and flirting with other women. I also stopped using game on her and forgot all about game because I felt that she loved me for who I really was, and that this whole game thing must be fake because the girls I got through using game were nothing compared to what I had now, and I was just being myself! Two years in and she was showing less interest, I responded by buying gifts, taking her on expensive dates and whining about her lack of interest. Two and a half years in and she was flirting with other guys, probably cheating, and recently we broke up and she started sleeping with someone else.

I became incredibly depressed, and when approaching other women I found that I had almost zero game, probably because my inner games a bit low right now, and I've got out of practice after treating other women automatically as friends for so long. Then I went on the PUA Training London bootcamp. The trainers are masters at this and I learnt a lot, although I didn't get too many closes, I feel that this was mainly because I had a lot of approach anxiety at the start, and so didn't push myself hard enough. This was my first time meeting other people who are into pickup, and they pointed out exactly where I was going wrong, so I know where to go from here, I would recommend the bootcamp to anyone in London who is new to this/ wants to seriously improve.

..As for hobbies and passions, I'm into music and travel! My goals are that ideally I would like to get my ex back, although her being with someone else/ other people has put me off slightly and i'm not sure if this is what I want anymore. Either way I would like to go out and practice game more, and meet other women who I might prefer, have fun, and go out sarging with other experienced PUAs, and guys who are new to this. Let me know if you have any advice /have been through a similar situation, or would like to go sarging, and check my posts on the find a wing man section!
