Phantom here
I just recently went through some classes on human behavior, elicitation, body language ect. and that lead me to a small obsession with wanting to change my social status. When i first thought about changing my body language to seem more open and "alpha male" i had never heard about the PUA community, i didnt know anything like this existed. I read The Game, and after a few nights of back and forth got on google, now here i am.

I dont tend to like people, im the guy that will go to the party, find me a table in the back and drink a few beers laughing at all the stupidity, and inside hating every guy who is picking up.

To be honest, im not here to become a PUA, im here to learn more about myself, to become more social, and to learn how to adapt myself for any environment.

i cant put where im from, i dont really have a home anymore, originally form CA i joined the USMC and now go where ever the hell they tell me to.

If anyone wants to talk about the Art, I'm interested in listening. I want to meet new people with different insights and learn your stories. If you give me a little bit, ill do my best to give you a lot.

Welcome Phanom!

Your first two goals here are spot on. The third I would caution against. When I was young I went to three different elementary schools and two different high schools. My well meaning parents were always telling me to try to "fit in" to adapt myself for any environment. I tried with some success. It has taken me a long time to realize that by encouraging me to be a chameleon they really robbed me of my sense of self, of that unchanging core that the more successful men seem to have. Being social isn't about adapting yourself to the environment, it's about retaining your self no matter what the environment. That doesn't mean to be uncouth at a black tie affair or pretentious at the monster truck rally, but it does mean being secure in who you are and what your core values are, having a healthy personal boundary and the inner strength to maintain it against the assaults of the small minded. The book The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida might help if that is something you struggle with like I have.

I have a feeling that you're a good man Phantom. Welcome to the best you of your life!
