Hi my name is Mike(middle name, but it's easier to explain my first name)
I'm 24 years of age.
As for "The Game" I've barely made it to the dugout.
I'm not a virgin by far(so far I've only been with 2 women) but I regard my experience to chance. I honestly don't even know how I got the women I did.
I'm on here to better learn to communicate and understand people, what better way than to be able to seduce them?
As for personal interests, I'm an avid movie-goer, I'm a video game fanboy(I know what I like even if it's not right), and despite my ADD sounding interests so far I do greatly enjoy reading. Reading is what's brought me this far. A book that I'm sure pops up more than those annoying internet ads, The Game by Neil Strauss(Style). This book was fervently suggested to me by a friend who was in a similar rut. I have a feeling he wants something of a partner-in-crime, and I'm not adverse to that.

My goals are to better communicate, and to be able to approach and pick up women.
I've had a rocky past, abuses of all sorts rained on me, that I don't care to bore people with. And though I've put the past behind me, conversationally, I still let it get in my way under the guise of "personal space". Mine was so thoughtlessly shit upon that I have put personal space on a pedestal and up until high school socially shut myself down. I cracked out of that cloister. I gained friends, caused mischief, got laid(a very few times), but I never really learned how to connect with women on more than a LJBF level. I constantly sabotage myself by making myself THAT guy. Happened 3 serious times already(one of which I had already seduced to the point that we were 2 piece of clothing between us from fuck-closing) and all 3 of those friends are good friends now, but I'm done making friends. I want fuck-buddies at worst next, I want to make a connection with a woman that I like and respect and not sabotage myself to be a friend.

Thank you for your time, I hope to be successful and to be of service to some newb in the future.

nic post, welcome.

You now know how to overcome last minute resistance right? Because its gonna happen a lot more if you don't have a plan to deal with it.

The last minute resistance wasn't on HER part but on MINE.

I was young, dumb, and full of ideals.
We were high, I was giving her a massage, she wanted it, I had a flash thought in my head of a)this would technically be date rape b)she might not want this and ruin the friendship[I know so dumb, hindsight=20/20]. If I had just found my scrote and fucked her I would've made one of my biggest mistakes.
By that I mean I would have settled down, most likely unsatisfied and in some menial job, and had a bunch of kids with her. She went on to do that with a guy that was pretty similar to me.

I beat myself up over her because I've yet to get with a skinny chick and I was so close with her. Also the glaringly obvious self-doubt/self-sabotage.
