Hey guys, I've been a long time lurker, but lurking is rude, so I figured it's time to stop lurking and introduce myself.

Anyway, I'm 27 years old and I'm from Auckland, New Zealand. For a bit of back story, I got into pickup mostly with the goal of self-improvement, I didn't have the easiest teenage years and it wasn't until I was 20 that I lost my virginity and even then it was a case of "hogging" with a girl I met off the internet. I pretty much fumbled through most of my 20's in choade-mode before I got into a 3 year LTR. But honestly the less I say about that the better.

Earlier this year I was in pretty much the lowest-ebb of my life. No self-esteem, constantly pining for my LTR who must have been up to guy number 10 before I decided enough was enough. So for the last six months I have been fastidiously reading everything and honestly everything has turned around. I have been following RSD the most, especially whilst building my inner game. I'm still in the starting out phase, but I've gotten myself out in the field and in the last few weeks I've netted 3 lays, which is better than before, but I'm always on the lookout for improvement.

But I really need to thank you guys in the pick-up scene, you really turned shit around for me.

Anyway, that's enough from me.
