Hey all,
Man, I've been meaning to do this for ages.... but now... I ready in immerse myself in the Game! Looks like we have an awesome group of people in this forum. Looking forward to learning the tricks of the trade.
A bit about me...
>where you're located
Wales, UK
>your age
I'm early 30's maybe not so late... but it feels like it is because this has been an ambition of mine to become a PUA. I've been procrastinating for soooo long!
>how you got into "the game"
All through Uni I was proper rubbish at the game. Rolling into clubs, social situations, even friendly meet ups and rolling back out on my own. My problem. I've always been crap at cold starts! Something that happens now, 10 years on. Basically, I discovered this community years ago, but never really committed myself to join it. But today is the day! I am here!
>how long you've been studying and practising pickup
I've been getting snippets here and there. Also, I've been in awe by a couple of my friends who have a natural composure around women. It's like a superpower or something! One of friends is a complete natural, I used to think that it was because he was half Greek (Greek waiters and all that), but my father is a charming Spaniard (unfortunately I got my mother's charm... which is like sand paper... abrasive! - joke... mines not that bad!
) If anything, I've been studying how my friend does it... but ask him about it and he say 'well! you either have it or you don't'. So I stopped asking!
Anyway, Seen a bit of Mystery's work, not delved too hard into it, but understand the basics.
>which pickup method(s) you like to use
Not used any routines or 'formal techniques' such as DHV, Negs, etc
The best pick up line I've used is '...So, do you have a boyfriend? (She answers no...) Do you want one?'. And it worked! (don't be fooled... I did a lot of groundwork to get to that point... and I knew the girl liked me)
I mean, some people would say great! If you can do it in one line then you've cracked it. But I know enough, that sort of 'technique' doesn't work in the wild with 9 and 10s...
>what your hobbies/passions are
I'm a Programmer, but not your usual kind. I'm an entrepreneur and run a up and coming business. I'm also a Brown belt in Judo, but found the women in Judo can't cuddle you without trying to throw you and get you into an arm lock... plus most look like men (sorry Judo women out there...
)>what your goals are
My goals is to just get good at the game. Simple. This annoyance of being one of the guys that stands back and lets the world looking women run past my eyes has forced me into action. If I can do this... then I'll definitely say I have lived a life with no regrets (that sounded a bit deep! )
>and whatever back story you wish to share with us.
I've given you guys enough of a back story. Just looking forward to cracking on and climbing my game 'everest'!
Looking forward to being part of this community.
