LOL Me too mate.
I was about to start a new thread but came across this. I recently broke up with my gf because it became apparent to me that I was becoming a whipped little AFC after over a year. Love's supposed to count for something, right?
I gained my skills from probably the most basic and first book any of us reads: Yes. Neil Strauss: The Game., among other short sources on the net.
With that I gained confidence after years of oneitis with girls who didn't care at all to be with me. So now that I am single again, I hope to regain my confidence to approach and meet women (because I know I learned quickly before)
Also, I am curious about the culture of men here. Do we respect women in the traditional sense of our society, or as adversarial challenges? I know when I learned before my relationship (which resulted from pickup and was full of real respect for a long time), I had no fear of women and thought they could all just deal with the fact that I was learning how to manipulate them. Besides, I'd been hurt heaps for no reason, and my manipulation wasnt going to hurt anyone... right? LOL
