| Indeed, all the PUA community and its knowledge can be seen by some like the revelation of one of the biggest misteries to men: women.
I'll stick with the guidelines for introductions, so let's go:
>where you're located: In Mexico
>your age: 22
>how you got into "the game": (Just a couple paragraphs, I want to include some back-story here)
Today, I went back in time and realised that I had several characteristics from a natural many years before entering the game, but haven't exploited them as much as I should: When I was introduced to a woman, I could talk to her and drive the conversation. From time to time, I "felt" the right moments to touch her and how to manage my body-language. I always have a good sense of humor and talked in a slightly cocky-funny way sometimes. Some women liked me, but some simply didn't think of me as a potential BF or lover. There were times in which I felt really envious for some friends and the women they dated, but didn't hate them at all.
Later, in my bachelor school, this skills caused that an older girl -I considered a bare friend- to ask me on a date just blocks away the school in which SHE WAS THE ONE WHO KISSED ME LONG AND WET. I was internally amused, and enjoyed the ride... but something didn't fit: I didn't understand how I got there that fast without actually trying hard or thinking about what to do. I guessed she was a bit desperate, and I was the nicest guy to her at the time. After two weeks, I told her that I wasn't confortable and wanted to finish the relationship. Now I think it was a healthy decision.
Many many years passed and I just got entertained with videogames, friends and family. I didn't go to many many parties and at most I made good friends with girls, even my friend's GFs.
I've read a book about dating, but I didn't share all of its ideology. I think they wanted to make the "difficult" stuff even more difficult and artificial. On the other hand, It taught me lots of stuff about personal style, self-conciousness, social value and some things I already had, but had to polish here and there.
Some time later, I traveled to many cities in Europe and found the most attractive women I've ever met. I love women, I love understanding how they think, what they feel -and why-, hanging out with them... and I just got suddenly convinced that I had to find out (even by trial-and-error) a way to approach them and seduce them. That's how I started to look for more literature and answered questions, and this led me to the PUA community. I've read through some glossaries, so I'm not that lost right now.
>how long you've been studying and practicing pickup: Formally speaking, like 4 weeks ago, in which I found the forums and watched some videos of guys doing day-game street pick-ups doing #closes and k-closes. (Actually, I remember the video was this one: Alex - The Pickup artist (Succeedatdating dot com) )
>which pickup method(s) you like to use
As I'm just a beginner into this art, I just stick to my common-sense, the 3-second rule (sometimes a bit flexible), smiling, good body-language, cocky-and-funny, and I think I got something near the M3 method, but I still have to practice more the C3 and S1-3 stages. Again, I don't think the art of pickup to be so mechanical, but It surely helps out to know how things can be modeled out.
>what your hobbies/passions are
I'm an engineering student, I like traveling, swimming, music, partying, a bit cooking, photography, lots of movies...
I feel passion for almost any form of engineering, fine music, delicious food, good wine and beautiful and smart women.
Also, I'm very into languages. I speak Spanish, English, French and German. Girls love it.
>what your goals are
Refine my original skills and my calibration (I think it's the right term, is it?)
Get started into street pick-up
Try to game girls into my social circle, specially beautiful girls I just met once but without my improved style and knowledge.
As a final note, I chose the title from a quote I've read in Krauser's blog:
"[...] I heard an analogy recently. A guy gives you a shovel, points to the ground and says “There be diamonds down there”. How deep would you dig? If you think he’s full of shit I’d wager you’d give up after the first few minutes. Contrarily, if you believe him you’d dig for weeks. So long as you have the certainty that the digging will eventually result in diamonds, you’ll dig.
That there is me and pick-up. I know it’s the mother lode. I just have to keep digging."
Source: Google Krauser Pua Blog -> "Why I believe in pick-up"
I cannot say that "pick-up" is going to be one of my hobbies, but enjoying the pleasure and fun of seducing women will be.
Also, for all us beginners, I don't think that too much theory can help you on its own: Practice makes the master
Do you need any proof that a man can date any woman? Just go out in the streets and see couples walk by: chances are you will see a stunningly beautiful woman with an average looking guy, and chances are that she's completely in love with him. Is it luck? I do not believe in luck, I believe in perseverance. Reality beats fiction, always.
So, let the game begin.
