What up all! I'm Dante. Just introducing myself to the community.
I must say that getting my hands on the book "The Game" has really opened up my eyes to another world.
I'm 20 years young and I think I am one of those that was blessed with some kind of natural game, but no where near what I've seen can be accomplished using the right "game". Lost my virginity at age 15, and my score is about 12, n that was before I turned 19, and became tied down in a serious relationship, which took a huge toll on my game and changed my social personality to someone I don't even recognize. While some may think my score's not that bad, to my standards, I believe it's sub-par, and I know I have the potential to really excel and reach what I hear is "guru-level". I am not an ugly guy by any means. In fact, I'm quite the opposite, which I'm sure played a significant part in what I call "natural game" when I was a little younger. Now, I'm a 3rd year in college (Georgia Tech), and trying to revisit my old self, and hopefully with dedication, a little work, and help from my new found "family" on here, my goal will become a reality.
::A look into my game::
Now I know this post is where you introduce yourself, so I won't go into detail and ask every question that I have, since there are other forums n topics that I'm sure would be a gold mine of answers if I just look, but if you are willing to read on, I'd like to put what I have on the table and see what kind of feedback, criticism, pointers, etc. people out there would be willing to offer. I'm open to ALL comments and suggestions, good and/or bad. Please, feel free!
Like I mentioned before, I wouldn't categorize myself as ugly, but because I got lucky in the gene pool, I lacked a critical trait that I need to have explode inside of me, CONFIDENCE. Starting off, I tend to be shy around people. For some reason, I feel that people around me have higher value me, (unless I'm under the influence, where I become practically fearless). I really don't know why I get like that sometimes. I want to be able to harness that confident trait and portray that 100% of the time, rather than just sometimes or when I take a few drinks.
Besides that, I have numerous openers and routines crammed into my head, but because of the lack of confidence sometimes, my anxiety with the approach seems to prevail more often then it should. I start to over think, and then I become trapped by my own thoughts with things like "what do I say?" (even though I know the openers) or start second guessing my game and all these other things that I'm sure most of you out there felt at one point in time.
::Goal::
Anyway, my biggest goal here is to improve my confidence which I'm sure will help me excel, not only with women, but with my social life in general. To have my phone always blowing up with people that wanna hang or chill or just talk. Once I've mastered the ability to always have the confident swagger, I know it will help me in my career as well. Hope I've come to the right place!! Dueces!!
Woah you look very into this forum.
