Hey guys!

Been reading the forum for a while now but figured I could introduce myself.

I'm 23 years old international business student from the great country of Finland. Been reading this forum and books (The Game, Mystery Method, Body Language books, stuff from Gambler, 60YOC, Vin DiCarlo etc.) and gathering information in general about two months now. Don't really have any field experience yet. Of course I've been out every now and then and met new people, but haven't really had that sarging -mentality on. I've been tried to act more confident (which is a problem every now and then, don't know what triggers it), keeping eye contact, watching body language and see how people behave during conversations in general, is there attraction and so on.

I would consider myself as a socially capable, I enjoy meeting new people and I usually feel very comfortable in social situations. I also assume that people in general feel quite at ease with me, at least that's what I've been told sometimes. I have no problems making friends or get acquainted with (both male and female) and I can keep the conversations on without much effort. I'd say I'm ok good looking, I keep hearing compliments every now and then from girls. To put all cards on the desk, I say my all current score is four. Have had two longer relationships and one MLTR with two girls. The thing is all those relationships I've had, I feel I haven't really been picking them up, those girls have picked me. Luckily they were relatively pretty girls all of them (HB7-HB9).

I hope by introducing myself I can really get myself involved in the game. My goal is that I could easily and without hesitation go hit on any girl I see and be as successful as possible. The thing is that I'm also quite picky who I have relationship and/or sleep with. Hopefully I can get some help from this forum and be able to reach my goal. Some wingmans or people in general to chat with and talk about this stuff would be great.

I hope someone is willing to read this huge wall of text. : )

Ps. anyone from Helsinki, Finland, raise hand.

Hey man good luck,
from one newbie to another.. i can say you have a lot of strengths..
you can hold convos well, so work with that!!!
i've read similar stuff to you... i think its good for giving us the tools, but the experience has got to be done ...

here's something i read somewhere else:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
-Mark Twain...

just start talking to girls, and.... don't be afraid of them saying no... who cares?? Lol, it was you who gained, it was you who learnt...
i love the attitude here, and i have to say, it is true..
talk to 0 girls, and you'll get 0 responses... talk to 10 girls, and you'll get a lot of positive responses... the number closes etc are up to you
good luck man, i'll follow your progress =)

Welcome and good luck X

Thanks mate. You are absolutely right, no amount of theory compares to actual practice and experience gained in field.
Sometimes I have this feeling that I can speak to anyone about anything, without worrying what the outcome might be or how they might perceive me. These times I feel extremely confident and people most definitely can see that. I truly enjoy all the conversations and and so does people around me as well, at least that's what it looks like. If I only knew what triggers this sort of behavior in me.

i have that too, it's like a wave of confidence right?
i was reading elsewhere about a guy describing that experience... that at first, he'd surf the wave for a few minutes, and then he'd lose it... and gradually, he learnt to ride the wave for longer and longer...
till he learnt to enjoy the wave fully, but it's still a wave..
i think a lot of us who are attracted to this type of forum, this type of place, have a similarity of personality... we think about the type of person we are.. we are self-aware... and that is pretty awesome, because it allows us to transcend WHO we are...

When you let go of who you are, you can become who you are to be

and that's what we are all trying to do, let go of the old limitations, and become free... good luck man, sorry if i went off the point, hope you got my drift, i'm sure you'll get there =)
