So first off I apologize because I know this is going to be a long story. But thanks to anyone who takes the time to read it. All you mPUA's out there, criticisms are super welcome. All you total AFC's out there, read on, because there is light at the end of the tunnel... if you put this material into practice, you will see results. It's certainly been a lot of ups in downs, but I think it's a pretty good story and hopefully you can take something away from it.

-------------------
By the way, after reading this, a key is helpful-
SHX (HB9) - My super hot ex I "got lucky with" when we were both 19. I broke up with her twice, we decided to "be friends", then she got married and we fell out of touch. She is how I first got decent at sex.
SC (HB6) - The initials of the girlfriend I just dated for 2 years. Easily my most serious relationship, and I believed I truly loved her, and still do in some way. I got much better at sex in this time.
V - The guy that SC fell for while I was gone.
SF (HB8.5) - My recent girlfriend. She and V had an off-and on 3 year relationship prior to this.
-------------------

But before I discuss my experience with PUA, I should give a little backstory on what led me to it. Rewind to April 2010. I just entered a relationship with what I thought was an awesome girl - SC. We were both students in college, she had a LDR boyfriend when I met her but over the course of a month she fell for me and broke up with him. I had a great social circle, decent grades, and a girlfriend that made me happy. Of course, these things never last. I was being deployed to the middle east in the fall for the military. We spent much of our summer together, and I started getting tired of SC. What's more, my SHX and I started talking again... it escalated into a secret affair that ended up with her fucking me behind her husbands back. SC found out we were talking again, and this was a big source of fighting. But I continued the affair with SHX and didn't break up with my girlfriend, as I wanted to stick it out and have someone to support me while I was overseas. Not a decision I am proud of. Shortly after I left, SC started falling for another guy (V), swearing he was "just a friend"... months went by, and I found out things from mutual friends, and fearing to look like a chump I started fucking an HB7 I was deployed with. When I returned home I was moving in with SC. This lasted maybe a few weeks until I broke up with her. I fucked SHX again, fucked HB7 again, girlfriend started fucking her new guy... that's about when I decided I was done with this bullshit. I could get decent, caring, intelligent women... that were physically unattractive. I could get hot women... who bored me to shit. It was time to start dating women that were real quality... ones I felt I deserved.

Enter November 2011. My journey truly begins.

It was time to change. I had read about "cocky funny" years ago, and upon some serious googling I stumbled across Pick Up Artistry. I started applying the material to things I already knew. I asked my sister to help me groom up - I got a new haircut, new clothes, new smell-good stuff. My first ebooks were Double Your Dating and Conquer Your Campus, and I got a lot of general stuff from there. I identified my weaknesses. I worked on myself. I continued sleeping with SC and she definitely noticed the change. But the real results didn't really start until January of 2012 - spring semester at school.

At this point, I had it all - a nice car, my own 2 bedroom apartment, financial freedom (veteran benefits), an ex-gf to casually fuck at my leisure, a new prestigious university to start, and a good network of friends from years prior. I was drumming in a jam band that met at my place, and we had great parties because a couple of my friends were naturals and knew how to get tons of chicks to my place. In february, I started fucking an HB9, and ditched SC. A couple weeks later, I tacked on another HB6/7 - both of these girls I met through my parties. Things were pretty fucking good. I smashed a 4 one night just for fun.

In March, another chapter began. I noticed on facebook SC and V started dating. I then sent a message to SF, whom I was barely acquaintances with, offering someone to talk to since both of our ex's were dating now. I should note everyone was geographically separated now - V was half a country away, SC was an hour away, and SF was 3 hours away. Well, over the next few weeks SF and I were talking daily and at the end of the month I went to see her and one of the best fuckfests of my life. Over the course of April, things got more serious with SF and I. HB9 forced the "what are we" talk on me where I friendzoned her. Despite being hot, she was pretty boring and incompatible as a potential LTR. SF and I met up a couple more times to the same results. We admitted we liked each other a lot, and when she came to visit for 5 days during finals week, I asked her to be my girlfriend.

At this point, I was on top of the world. And let me tell you, the moment you think you've won "the game" you've already lost. I became too secure... I let my training drop. I relaxed my exercise, social life, became a shut-in alcoholic who played Diablo 3 all day every day... and as you may have guessed, she broke up with me only a month later. I put the relationship on a pedestal and lost focus in myself. So back to the drawing board. Started exercising again. Joined a volunteer group. Quit drinking and drugs. Started having campfire and bowling nights with friends. Got really good at pool again. I got new material - Ex2 System (

Really interesting. What you learned of the book conquer your campus?

Damn, just realized my post cut off my last 2 paragraphs.

As far as conquer your campus, I'd probably give it another read. But a lot of it focuses on social intuition and being the life of the party. Organize, plan, and lead events for your group to do. Keep introducing new people, attractive men and women. Basically you want to "game" your entire campus, guys and girls, and show people that when around you interesting things happen and people have fun. Surround yourself with male friends that are naturals and also have interesting personalities. If you're going to school, it's definitely a good read.

As far as my story, let me try and remember it.

...Started having campfire and bowling nights with friends. Got really good at pool again. I got new material - Ex2 System, Magic Bullets, and The Ultimate Guide to Text and Phone Game. I also have Mystery Method sitting on my HD. I became the unofficial leader of my group of friends again, always planning events and coordinating with other people about rides, finances, etc. Of the females in my group, I'm essentially responsible for them all being there. Two of them are platonic friends, two others I've already fclosed (one is the HB6.5 from my story) and two more are 19 y/o virgins. One of those I've kclosed, the other I'm currently "fwb" with (see my other topics for more info) and just recently, through another male in the group, included an HB6 who currently wants me... bad.

Is it confusing at times? Sure. Frustrating? As all hell. But would I rather be one of those AFCs that pray every day that anything hotter than a 5 touches his penis? Hell no. So I'll probably repeat a lot of what you hear on this site and others... in addition to reading the material, the most important thing is...

PLAY THE FIELD!

You'll get rejected. That's good. You WILL fail. Many times. Also good. But don't give up, don't retreat back into wallowing in your own self pity, and keep approaching women (and males) and keep trying to make new friends.

Nice read,the journey is a hard 1 especially if you get that hb 9 or 8,you stay satisfied(I would know) but they never last,hot girls usually have more issues. Never stop gaming,thanks for the read.

Thanks for reading, glad to share my experience. And that HB8/9 definitely, but I think once you land that first one it's hard to keep because you haven't developed that inner game quite enough. Which begs me to ask, what's some good inner game material? I'd rather not do Mystery, as much of a staple it is it seems to have mixed opinions in the current day and age.

very inspirational read,thanks for that:) im 18,i have had girlfriends before,not a virgin etc but im still a fucking AFC!i have just started to all this pick up thing,im an AFC because im afraid of going out and opening but i have been constantly pushing myself beyond my comfort zone and i see myself improving each day.so hopefully one day,i will write a inspirational post like that:D

I didn't read much to get my inner game good,I just did stuff that made me happy,like playing hockey and becoming player of the year and playing soccer and being real good at it. At this point I was so happy that in all honesty I didn't need women in my life,I wanted women but didn't need them,was happy just being with my friends and if a woman came into my life it was like ok,why not. I realized with women you don't have to be perfectly secure,no one is,but secure enough to not be a little bitch about everything. So just be happy with life man.

That's really what I'm trying to do, join hockey this semester, get more active and get more out of life. Coming out of that relationship left a pretty big hole in my life, and I had been trying to fill it with other women. I would like to say I am happy without having one, especially a quality girlfriend, but not really... but on a positive note, it was my motivation to study this material and get better game. Of course an AFC's relationships are going to suck, as he's going to settle for women he doesn't really want, or really aren't worth dating. I'm just glad I'm getting out of that trap.

Thanks for the post Azizi. Definitely inspirational.
