Hello fellow friends, fellow AFCs and, someday, fellow PUAs. This is going to be a long introduction, but hopefully someone will read through it all and respond. My title attempts to describe, in a succinct form, my current situation. I'll begin with some information about myself, then talk about my history, and finally discuss my current situation and how far I am into the reading. Currently, I'm a twenty-four-year-old graduate student, pursuing a dual-degree in law and business. I consider myself athletic and intelligent (who doesn't) and enjoy playing soccer, working out, and reading philosophy (sure, I'm odd for that last one). In my extended (this adjective will make more sense later) past, I have not had much trouble getting women. I have slept with quite a few women, most of which have been somewhere between 7's and 10's. I haven't been single since for longer than 3 months since I was a freshmen in high school. I've nailed beauty queens, prom queens, homecoming queens, cheerleaders, etc. By now, you probably think I'm a braggart and a douchebag , and I don't blame you. However, here is where my title finally starts to make some sense. You see, I don't think I have any game, at all. I'm terrible. Hell, the vast majority of the time I can't even get over my AA (approach anxiety). The idea of the conquering the 3-second rule seems more impossible than solving Hume's inductive logic problem. (Oh yeah, did I mention that I'm a giant closet geek?) So how did I get laid all the time in high school and college? One - I always had a girlfriend, so it was very easy for me to display a lack of interest in women who were always getting hit on (after all, I knew I was getting laid either way). Two - any guy who knew of me tended to DHV for me since I was a stellar athlete and intelligent student. "Oh, he's the captain of the team and he aced his SATs." People I had never met would spout that kind of bullshit about me. Of course, it would always get larger in their retelling. (Don't get me wrong, I also had guys who spouted shit about me.) Three - I never had to approach. Usually a target had heard of me and was already interested enough to show some immediate IOIs upon me entering the room. I think my largest problem is that I was once a big fish in small ponds. (My high school pond being very tiny, allowing me to cover several high schools; and my college pond also being very small. When you're a big fish, it's easy to swallow the small fish. I was once an AMOG - but never a very aggressive one.) Now that I'm in graduate school, I've moved to a big city and found it completely devoid of women interested in me. I'm a big freshwater fish in a salt water ocean, and the other fish are fucking huge. I think this transition began in college, and I've found myself relying on alcohol to overcome AA. This is obviously bad for many reasons; I won't attempt to cover them all. However, I have found that even with my reliance on alcohol (sadly, to the point of blacking out), I can still get numbers and even lay-close on some nights. However, this certainly leaves me both unhappy and unsatisfied. I'm unhappy because I realize I have a crutch and that I obviously have some inherent self-confidence issues. I'm unsatisfied because even when I'm successful, I usually cannot remember, and therefore enjoy, the actual experience. Finally (thank whatever power you pray to, I know), I'd like to establish the extent of my information so far. I've read Neil Strauss's book, "The Game," and have also begun to review Mystery's MM book. I also plan to read books on body language (Pease) and NLP (not sure which to read on this topic yet), as well as whatever I can find on cold reading (open to recommendations) and whatever else anyone recommends. That's about it friends. I live in the City of Brotherly Love by the way. Hit me up with suggestions, whether it is on what to read or where to go from here. Danke, Hume (yeah, I need to pick a better name, but my favorite philosopher was all that came to mind). |
