I think most people would join or start this community as an AFC (you wouldn't really need to if you were a natural) so an AFC is a guy who never really gets girls unless he is lucky, never makes approaches except awkward, fumbling ones and a PUA is someone who regularly gets girls, has complete or near complete confidence of success in the field on a regular basis, can make approaches with only a little anxiety and gets laid on a regular basis.

So how long did it take you to get from A to B roughly?

Was it a few weeks, a few months, a few years, ten years?

ROOT: I am interested because I want to see a general consensus (Am I making slow, steady or fast progress compared to the general?

Dude, it's something that can't be measured. Becoming a PUA is the bettering of one's own life, thus is measured on how much you grow individually. And when talking about the game, everyone's different.

Think of it like skateboarding, playing a musical instrument, or learning how to code software. The more time you spend working with the fundamentals, the easier they become and the better you get at it. Which then leaves you open to taking on bigger and better challenges. Which brings us to the time honored saying of, "you get out of it what your willing to put into it."

I am still an AFC but the answer to this question seems some what obvious.
