Hey, I figured I'd take what Chief recommended in the locked post and start from there:
>where you're located
I live in Michigan.
>your age
I'll be 27 in November.
>how you got into "the game"
I'm not, really. My best friend has been begging me to read "The Game" for years and today I finally cracked the cover. Its...interesting, to be sure. I'm intrigued, hence why I am here.
>how long you've been studying and practicing pickup
See Above
>which pickup method(s) you like to use
Again, see above
>what your hobbies/passions are
I do graphic design and photography, as well as performing magic shows on the side. No, pick-up is not why I got into magic.
>what your goals are
I want to see what this community is all about.

In any event, nice to meet you all.
