Hey guys,

At long last I decided to join the community! Hovered over the site many a time after a specific question came to mind and found that some of the guys really have their head screwed on straight.

The story so far
------------------------

Started looking into the game after I finally asked a friend of mine *Who 'was' inexplicably good with women* what his secret was. Lent me his copy of The Game by Neil Strauss and told me it'd give me a grounding. Naturally I was hooked into learning the art but didn't want to throw myself into the online communities straight away, so I've spent the past few months spending what little free time I had just gathering as much material as possible and sorting the junk from the gold by a large amount of much needed trial and error.

I shifted from following scripts and patterns amusingly when I was halfway through learning a card trick *kiss the card and I'll find it in the deck... hmmmm.. now I need to know what the kiss feels like.. a slight of hand and she's amazed*

Fun trick, sounds great. Never used it *Though my shuffling did improve dramatically for poker nights* Just realized how some of the suggested 'improve your S&R value' tactics were actually turning me into a bit of a dancing monkey, clamoring for attention so a woman would spend more time with me than the 2 minutes polite conversation I could usually get.

*An added wake up call was when a gorgeous girl (HB9) who I had been chatting to for about a good 30 minutes without escalating despite numerous IOI's actually said to me at the conclusion of the Cube routine "Your a great guy but... you don't need to try that hard to impress me." Kissed me on the cheek and walked off.

Though I had my proof that the game worked, my confidence was growing and women I previously wouldn't of been able to talk to were grouping up to hear this apparently 'interesting' guy, naturally I wasn't completely satisfied with just being the interesting one, I needed to push further.

Throwing the cards away I went back through the material and found what felt natural, amusingly when I did this my AA almost disappeared completely as I was adapting the comparatively small amount I had learned into my own 'unique' blend. This was about 2 months ago.

Since then I raised my social value and now have pretty much no problem opening sets, comfort building and moving into the seduction stages (dancing, grinding, neck biting) however I've still yet to get past a kiss close on a night out *Usually from a last minute fatal cock block*

A few pointers here and there are appreciated as I've got no erm... 'enlightened' wings to bounce things off.

Do have a tendency to rattle on a bit *something I've corrected in field* so shall leave it there Be nice to get to know a few of you so just drop a comment sometime if you fancy a chat ^^
