Hey guys. I'm from Canada, and I was recently introduced to the world of PUA's by a couple friends who read The Game. I'm almost done the book myself now, and I've started ordering more in the genre.

I'm new to the game, but not to girls. I'm still by far an AFC, and I'm just trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can. The biggest message I seem to see resonating from Style's teachings, and even posts here is that just being confident and actually getting out there and approaching HB's is half the battle.

I used to be massively introverted, but I've been working on that the last few years, and now with these new teachings, I have a newfound courage in knowing that I'm not the only one overcoming these obstacles.

I'm worried that some of my friends might think I'm getting into some kind of dark arts, because there seems to be a massive negative stigma attached to the community. I look at it as the best way to improve myself, and a system to actively set goals to make myself a more social being, and ultimately help in my path to self-actualization.

I guess I should add that my score is 13, and my sticking point is probably approaching and opening. Once I get a girl talking, I don't usually have an issue keeping interest, and I always work in some negs. More if I'm drunk haha.

Welcome I was also introduced into the game by a friend. Also, who cares what your friends think, or what people think. What they think about is none of your business anyway =) Do what you please.
