Hi there!

My name is Niels, I'm a 23-year old guy from Ghent, Belgium. I've been interested in the art of pick-up for some time now, but never got myself to start doing it. I recently began reading materials (mainly Mystery and Style) and viewing some online footage of pick-up artists in the field. My mind was blown how easily they could convey women into creating an emotional bond with themselves.

Some information about myself: I'm a Dutch and English teacher in secondary education, I still live with my mom and 3 sisters, I enjoy going out with my friends and just have fun. I'm the social and funny type so listening, communicating and negging are my stuff, but sometimes I tend to get shy with women (not when I'm in a conversation, but rather to open on a set of women). So when I would have to name a choking point it would be that I need to grow some balls to open a set.

What am I expecting from this forum? To get advice, tips and tricks, as well as new materials and to give the same in return.

Thanks in advance and I will talk to you guys later!

Welcome aboard.

If you're having trouble opening sets then stick to the opinion opener at first. It will get you up to speed and comfortable with the group dynamics of HB sets, then once you get better at game and can calibrate more accurately you can move onto more direct methods. Remember: Practise makes perfect.
