Heyo guys.

Though I'm new to this forum, I've seen lots of threads where guys are wondering if this stuff works or not. So, here's my take on PUA. Bear with me, it may get lengthy. So grab a comfy cushion and some popcorn and enjoy the story.

I started out pretty much the same as most of the AFC's everywhere around. No actually, I started out worse than most of them. I was socially conditioned to think girls were in gross in childhood and when I reached adolescence, this conditioning really screwed me up - because of all those years in my childhood when I never talked to a single girl, I became really shy around girls. I was also kind of fat, didn't have a purpose in life, lacked confidence seriously and believed in following the crowd.

Okay so one day when I was 15, my cousin introduced me to PUA - sorta. I blew him off, mocking PUA and saying "I'd rather be myself than be something else to please people.". My cousin never gave up, of course. The next year, just before my birthday, he extended this invitation to me again. This time, I took him up on it. The road to success is never easy.

I started off by training myself to hold conversations with girls for extended periods of time, I repeated a mantra of "I love myself" 10 times once (try it, it really works! To the point that I'm something of an egomaniac now. . . lol), and I did some pretty outrageous stuff (like walking up to cashiers at McDonald's, looking at the menu for more than 5 minutes, then finally settling for a tiny cup of plain water. Top it off by going to the straw counter to get a straw and they'll be suppressing their giggles, trust me.). Of course, if I'd known this forum existed back then, I'd have been better at pick-up 4 months earlier.

My first mentor was David DeAngelo. I read his book "Attraction Isn't A Choice", and I still feel that it is some top-notch material up till today. It gave me a good understanding of what it meant to be an alpha-male, what it takes to turn on the attraction switch in a woman, and so much more. I recommend this book to those who have yet to read it.

Slowly, subconciously, I began observing things like fashion trends (and I found out I had a knack for predicting what would be big before it came out), alphamale patterns, the hidden meanings behind what guys do in rom-com movies and stuff. I had not validated myself yet, but I would soon.

It happened at an inter-school accountancy competition. I was with my some of my schoolmates then and we were grouped with a whole bunch of girls from some other school. Our group won the event (naturally, with me in it) and after that I talked to the group of girls. Now I'm not being mean or anything if I said that the schoolmates I were with were AFC's, because they are. Anyway. I was talking to a whole group of them and we were laughing and having so much fun and stuff and I noticed this one girl I really liked. My schoolmates who were with me could only look on incredulously as a number - closed 6 numbers right in front of their eyes! That was the first time I realised that I had emerged from the chryxalis of AFC-ness and metamorphosed into a PUA butterfly (yeah I know, way to make a statement).

Subsequently after that experience, I've picked up quite a number of girls. Yeah well not many HB 8's in Sunny Singapore honestly, but I did snag some HB 7's. As of date I've been in 13 relationships. 1 was a serious relationship, the rest were practice. Up till today, 3 or 4 of them are still hinting that they wish to continue being in a relationship with me.

By the way, my journey to manhood started at the beginning of 2008 and I've never looked back once since the day I took up my cousin's offer.

Now, my take on PUA. It's not just a hobby or a skill or a tool - It's a lifestyle.

Through my journey, I've learnt so much about fashion, women, life and pretty much anything else.

I used to follow whatever was in fashion back when I just started, but now I'm actually one of the firebrands in certain aspects of fashion. I'm not saying designers ripped off my dress sense - I'm saying I mix and match so well that guys are asking me for advice on how to dress.

Through PUA, I've touched books I think I'd never touch otherwise; for example, NLP. The variety of books I've read relating to PUA are endless, and I won't list them here and create a snorefest. Instead, you can PM me if you're interested on what kinds of books I've read. Through these books, I've gained perspective, plexity and even insight which I put into use daily. In fact, I'd even go as far as to say that books created the alphamale which is Vitamin Z.

Now, a little warning to those who're just beginning to play the field - Don't be complacent with small success. As Donald Trump always says, "Think Big and Kick A$$". Never let one number - close make your head swell, don't go bragging to all your guy friends that you're smooth and shit - instead, revel in your success silently. Slowly hone your skills to the point where you know you can actually seal the deal with just a snap of your fingers (okay exaggerating here), then just walk up to a HB and number - close when you feel like it. Remember - We're not playing the game for self validation, we're playing it for the fun.

With that said I end this extremely long "thesis" on PUA -
Cheers all.
