but what the hell. I'm 26, never had a girlfriend, never been laid, and it's not getting any easier. I would say I'm above average looking, a little skinny maybe, but I've been consistently working out for 3 months and am starting to get cut. My social skills are fine. I even work as a DJ on the weekends.
My main trouble is that I clam up a little around women, and even when it's obvious someone is interested, I don't escalate things to the next level. I would say it's becoming less of a problem in some ways, but now in play is the fact that I'm just embarrassed at still being a virgin. This is probably my main fear now, the fact that I could get exposed and the shame I would feel from that. I feel like I'm a late bloomer, and in our culture it's not an easy thing to be.
Like many, I read The Game a couple years ago, and really enjoyed it (as a book and as an introduction into many of the principles behind pick-up). Recently I've been becoming obsessed with everything related to seduction, and have been staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning reading as much as I can online. I feel like it's making me crazy though, LOL.
I have to say there is a lot of good about this community, but a lot is incredibly misogynistic. A lot of the people attracted to it seem less interested in women, and more in impressing other men. I am very reluctant to join in, but I still feel I can gain a lot of positive things.
My goal is to open up a lot more, gain some confidence, and ultimately get laid

I want this to happen within 6 months and I'm willing to change my behaviors, but not my core personality. I look forward to discussing things with everyone!
