Hey everyone, I just completed my first sarge tonight at a friend's party and now I'm really excited to join the community.

>where you're located
San Jose Area
>your age
19
>how you got into "the game"
internet, friends, the game, lots of hard thinking and coming to terms with myself
>how long you've been studying and practicing pickup
I've been studying it lightly for about four months now, practicing for all of one day.
>which pickup method(s) you like to use
At first I liked Tyler Durden's stuff (on youtube), but after watching Mystery on youtube and reading The Game I want to start out with MM (which seems to be "canon" around here)
>what your hobbies/passions are
friends, being outdoors, school (believe it or not), becoming a not-AFC
>what your goals are
to have a successful, interesting, fulfilling life
to get REALLY good at being a pua
>and whatever back story you wish to share with us.
I really like the idea of coming to terms with one's lack of social skills, and being able to DO SOMETHING about it. It's amazing that we live in an age in which information and community support like this is so widely accessible. I feel lucky.
