I'm Mike, 28 yrs old from England but I'm teaching in Shanghai SPAM.

My history with women is very...rollercoastery (this is not a real word)

When I was a kid...if I wanted to play football I played football, if I wanted to throw a pebble at a bigger pebble...I did. And if I wanted to kiss a girl I walked up to her in the playground and told her I was going to kiss her.

Then I became a teenager, bullied in school, realised through porn and the shower rooms that I was below average (as you all can appreciate is a big deal for a teenager)...then finally I found marajuanaaaaaa, thus successully destroying all drive and confidence with women during the stage of your life where you're meant to be fiddling about and losing your V-card.

Up until last year I got lucky with the ladies a grand total of 15 times, most of whom have been ugly or desperate and occasionally I got lucky with a babe who lost interest pretty quickly. I've always been happy with most other area's in life but women had me completely baffled.

Then I read "The Game", the power grid disintigrated as endless metaphorical lightbulbs exploded over my head and it's like I've found Jesus! But a cooler Jesus who uses miracles to turn smiles and jokes into beautiful women with big boobies.

Anyhoo since then I've bedded 2 chickers, one desperate and one ugly hahaha. I seem to have problems with the hotties which is why I'm here. I have much to learn (I think calibration is the main one) I'm getting frustrated with a sexy chick I'm dating here in Shanghai and I've already half skipped a kiss close on a date with her as it could have been an awkward move. This chick is going to be the subject of my first proper "Help me!" thread very soon.

I need guys like you, with the same interest to ask for advice, bounce idea's off, get opinions from because here in Shanghai...my options are almost non-existant.

Anyway it's a pleasure meeting you all and I look forward to many fun conversations on here.
