I am 30 years old and I just came out of a 5 year long relationship. Both before and after my relationship I've had a tendency to end up with the kind of women I'd like as friends rather than those I'd like to shag, who I am afraid to talk to. I tend to chicken out at the first sign of trouble. I have decided that I do not want to go through the rest of my life running away from the girls that I would most like to sleep with. I read the game last week and before I was done I had become a member of this forum. I guess I always assumed that picking up women was one of those things that some people just can do, and others cant, and counted myself in the second group. But reading the posts and the technical tips in this forum, it makes a lot of sense to me that seducing women can be as technical and theorical as anything else. I'm very much looking forward to learning the trade and I believe that it will have positive effects on many other aspects of my life than sex.
