Hey folks.

I'm 37, have been studying PUA on and off for about 5 years. Before that, I was into NLP and Hypnosis. I started a little bit older than most guys. Before, I didn't really feel the need, I did pretty well, but as I got older, I started to feel disconnected from the younger hotties, but still too young at heart to chase women my own age, so I decided to work on this area of my life to start expanding my pool of potential women.

My absolute favorite teacher is Joshua Pellicer (Tao of Badass, Hacking Attraction, etc). The only problem is, his forum absolutely sucks. However, I absolutely loved his work and it got me massive results in a very short period of time. I went from having no close friends in my new home town, to running a good-sized social circle with at least 3-4 hot women in it, who were really into me, at any given time. After a break from pick up (dated a girl for 2 years, which I often find really kills my desire to game), I went over and tried out the RSD stuff, and found it to be terrible. Sure, there were some good nuggets of advice here and there, but overall, I felt incredibly stifled and unnatural, even sort of creepy. So I kinda stepped away from that stuff and started reviewing Pellicer's work. Needless to say, the RSD forum simply doesn't cut it for me. So I'm hoping for more postive, value-filled results here. I've seen a few of The Gambler's stuff on YouTube and while what I've seen has been a little more on the pick up/game side, rather than self-improvement, I much prefer his more subtle style over the social-retard, approach till you die, silliness of RSD. So I figured I've give this forum a shot. I hope to be able to provide value to other members here.

Hobbies and passions are wide-ranging. I like auto-racing, crotch rockets, designing electronic circuits, playing guitar, shooting guns, brewing beer (although I've cut this one back a LOT), hypnosis, writing (I'm working on my second and third books right now), and I have a small home recording studio with a lot of stuff I've built myself.

My main goal right now is to find a forum that isn't shit. Haha. After that, I hope to build my social circle back up, find some nice girls, and a few naughty ones just to balance them out. Then maybe in a couple of years, I'll settle down and get married to a girl who's half my age or something ridiculous like that.

I tend to go after the incredibly smart, successful types of woman. My best relationships have been with lawyers (a few), engineers (several), nurses (a couple), a figure skater, a former Olympic athlete, girls like that. Oh hell, who am I kidding? I mostly go after college girls! Hahaha! But I think those days might finally be over... but who knows? Anyway, I've never ruled out a stripper or other such girl either if she seemed like she'd be fun. So I guess you could say I've been all across the spectrum. My lay count is probably closer to 50 than 100. Not massive game, for sure, but then again, I spent a lot of my younger years in relationships. Anyway, I think one of my strengths is that I definitely can relate to a lot of different types of women. I currently have two FB's and I'm looking to upgrade.

So I'm here. The name is Benny.

Welcome to the forum Benny!
Glad to have you!
As you know, there are many people in the pua community who believe nlp and hypnosis are a crucial part of game! It's good that you were into it.
Haha. On the bright side I guess you could easily become a moderator of that forum if you wanted to.
Yeah, but their top posts are certainly worth taking a look at!
You can't just say you are writing a books and not tell us what they are about!
I'm not even going to use nlp to tell you this one is the best!
There was a good thread on strip club game/tactics... I'll see if I can find it for you!
PM me and I'll shoot you an invite to a few pua related facebook groups that will really benefit you.
(PM button should be at the bottom right of this post)

Thanks for the welcome RedRover. I'm sending you a PM now.

The problem with Pellicer's forum isn't the moderation. He hardly needs any because everybody really helps each other and works together to improve. It's amazingly powerful stuff and a great group of guys over there. The problem is that the forum software is an absolute joke. It's like they don't even give a shit about it. Even the formatting is all jacked up and stuff.

I know a lot of folks bag on Pellicer, he's heavy on the social (which is what most socially retarded guys starting game really need the most to get fast results, imo) and inner-game aspects (which I think he does better than anybody else). I don't know what it is though. I start following his model and it's like you're becoming a rock star. Literally, it's like that. For instance, I work in a rather stifling library-like environment with a good number of hot girls. After going through a couple of Pellicer's programs, a funny thing happened. People of both genders would get visibly excited when I'd walk into the room. This kept building on itself until I started walking into work every day and everyone would bust out into hoots and hollers and whistles and shit. It was practically comical. My boss hated me for it, but I was like, "Well don't look at me! I'm not the one making all the noise..." Not only had I never gotten that kind of reaction before, but I don't even think I've ever seen that reaction to anyone besides celebrities... and myself. And it was about 30 people who were doing it.

So good game, bad game, too much rapport? I guess who you vibe with depends on what your weaknesses are. And I've never really had a problem approaching for a few minutes. My problem has always been getting out of my introvert shell over the long term.

As for books, I'm writing a book about driving cars fast, and another about what a post-capitalist society might look like and how it can be achieved. Basically, I believe there's basically a way to demolish most of the "bad" aspects of capitalism while retaining the good.

And I've read about dating strippers before. I've actually had one take me home, that was awhile ago though. I've also had fun relationships with them before where I can come in and don't have to spend money and they buy me beer. Actually, I have a strip club game that I used to run which, to my knowledge is totally original. I'll probably share it on some thread sometime somewhere.

Anyway... I'll get to sending you that PM now. Thanks.

The Tao of Badass is every dude’s magnet to women. I can attest to that. A couple of days ago, I sat beside a pretty hot looking babe in a café. I took a chance to sit beside her. I thought that was a good way to practice my confidence. So I sat beside her and smiled. She smiled back and we started talking. And lo and behold, she started playing with her hair. I was shocked. Based on the book, she was showing me a sign, an inviting sign! So I took that cue and asked for her number. She gave it but she asked for mine as well. What happened next? Before I could even call her, she ended up calling me first. I swear, The Tao of Badess works. It helped me a lot in the process. and thnx to Dating for new and original tips..Cheers..
