alright, let me tell you a bit about where i'm standing.
4 years ago i dated an asian chick one of the cutest girls in my highschool.
after we broke up a year and a half later i turned into an AFC. my confidence dropped, my popularity went down, i lost basically all my friends.. i havent had a girlfriend since then, i don't know my goals in life, in other words i just fell in limbo..
a year ago my friend introduced me to the game by neil strauss and at first i was not really believing this until my friend actually got a girlfriend using this stuff. unfortunately or fortunately he has a one itis. so we no longet talk.
months passed by and i began feeding myself of information. i wanted to read every book out there but some of the ones i liked were the art of seduction, 48 laws of power, october man, magic bullets, mystery method along with posts in the seductiontuition website.

im now working mostly on inner game
i been working out constantly, i been dreesing up better, working on my voice tone, my approach anxiety, and my body lenguage.

hosnestly i find many girls looking at me and smiling at me at school. like if they feel the positive energy i radiate. even though i find it easy to open. i have a hard time builing atraction
i get nervous. i hesitate to do the cube, the c vs u shape teeth, and all of that.
i need major work being congruent with my first impression.
(any tips o that)

anyway thats not really why i started writing this..
I accidentally ran over my friends facebook pictures and she was tagged among my x's pictures so the curiosity led me to her page.

i saw pictures of her doing well modeling for cars, working for one of the best clubs in the city and she seems to be becoming more and more popular. this only led me to be fed up with myself because it makes me feel like an AFC again because i havent really done much this past years.. more than 1/2 of the people i know know her so i know that at somepoint i will see her again and i dont want to be this AFC.

i needt to boost my game, i need to get my life in track.
seeing her pictures today just fueled me to get out and start working my way..

any tips on becoming more valuable?
i have learned some palmistry, magic tricks, astrology,
i still feel that is not enough.

Let me give you some truth about "Game" from a guy who has been at this for 5 years. First thing, is nothing happens overnight. It takes time and work. Some people are lucky and they get this stuff very fast and in a few short months are doing awesome. Others it literally takes 4-6 months of practice going out 3-4 nights a week to get really smooth with this stuff.

WHAT?!? Yeah I said 4-6 months! There are two key pieces to getting really good at this stuff. 1. ) Master it in smaller bite size chunks, work on opening, then transitioning, then building attraction, the comfort games, etc. 2.) Learning more is not the solution...it is mastering what you already know!

A lot of guys like myself are intellectuals and when I don't know something I research it, dive into it, and learn all I can about it because its my belief knowledge about things reduces fear of it, cause I understand it better. Initially that does help, however, you have to apply what you've learned too.

You have already read a LOT of pickup material. My advice would be to pick one of those methods you really enjoyed reading about and applying it a step at a time until you master that method. Then if you want go back and do another method, master it. Then you will understand why each method works and what you like and don't like about it. Then take bits and pieces from what you like and what works with your personality best.

Its very very easy to get in this stall of thinking if I just read another book, if I just take another class, if I watch these youtube videos, etc....then I'll have it down. Remember take your time, have patience with yourself and the process, and apply what you learn.

You are already valuable enough to take home a 10 just as you are. If you really devote yourself to it, you will be great!

Yeah, being able to call yourself a PUA is a lllloooonnngggg road to follow.

I'll admit, I'm NOT a PUA. Been in the game for about three years now.

Here's some recommended reading to start out:
- Mystery
- David Deangelo
- Badboy (to a point)
- Juggler

There are good and bad points to all four models. But learning to pick out the flaws and strengths of each type of game can help a lot.

Read EVERYTHING on the forums. I've got so many cool lines from here. A girl will sometimes say something, it'll remind me of something I read on here. BOOM! She thinks I'm making it up on the fly. Being witty and coming off "smooth" is a big turn on for a lot of women. It separates us from the AFC folk.

Thanks guys!!
jsmooyh: i'm starting to go out at least 3 times a week... on my days off.. but even in school and at work i try to apply some of the game... usually at my most of the costumers are single or married women. there are hardly chicks my age but wether there is or not i try to engage them into having a long conversation with me by using topics i have gotten from here. i have negged the really hot ones and seems like i can naturally start a long conversation with them.

at school; i only apply game to the ones outside my class, because in the past i have screwd up and its not cool when you know that they will be the entire quarter there stuck in the same classroom. and ruin it for the rest of the girls in that classroom.

everytime i go out to the mall, clubs or anywhere else i dont feel good with myself if i cant stablish a conversation with at least 5 girls for at least 3 minutes... this has boosted my confidence. and i could feel many of my friends starting to orbit me. one guy last night while i was playing poker told me that i was an alpha male the way i talked, the way i moved, the way i cared for my fellow friends.. he was telling me all this stuff he even assumed that i was one of those guys in highschool who in prom would fuck someone else's date.. i personally havent done that but i felt good when he called me the Alpha Male.. it feels like something i have to prove every morning i wake up.. but yeah little by little i could see the change in me and the things i want..

Dlightmen; yeah being a.PUA takes months and years.. it took me months to finally convey me being Alpha Male to get my posture right, to slow down my movements, to work on my voice tone ect.. even till this day i still work on it..

i have some knowledge about mystery's method and some about david de angelo. i havent seen jugglers or badboy's work. but just like neil strauss i learn something from each and i try to use it when it seems to suit better..
i personally seem to be funny, i can easily make girls laugh by either laughting at them or laughing about myself... i like to treat them like little girls. it works all the time! even with the ones that seem bitchy...

i read many posts from the forum and i also have taken alot of information from here.. aswell as other sites and videos from youtube..
most of my openers now seem to go smooth..


opening and building attraction seem to be easy for me now..
the sticking point im struggling on is bringing kino to the conversation.

I really hate to be the person to recommend more material for you but checkout 60 Years Of Challenge (commonly referred to as 60YOC). He seems to be the go to guy for kino.

Just some common sense advice: Take what you read and try to apply it to your already existing game. I like to think of PUA as taking other peoples experiences and building it on top of your existing foundation. As you continue to grow and practice you add your own experiences on top of the methods that you learn.

Also if you still find yourself struggling with Kino, maybe your not as comfortable with women as you think. It's hard NOT to be self conscious when you touch a girl, but try to make everything as instinctive as possible. It isn't a simple fix and kino attributes itself to momentum. When you touch a girl within minutes of meeting her (or as part of the opener) it opens the flood gates for more kino. If you WAIT for kino then you will have a hard time getting physical with her and future girls.
