I'm leaving this here as a way to gauge my progress. Some of you might want to respond and I encourage it. I want to improve and I want your ideas.

So first, a very vague, detail-starved, picture of where I stand, and why I'm interested in the community and what it has to offer:

I've slept with 2 girls (not women) in my entirety, but I'm not half bad at getting them interested. Closing is another story. Since I broke up with my girlfriend a couple months ago I haven't seen any action, but a taste has been developed. I quit my job around the same time as the breakup. I wanted to find myself and enjoy life in a way I just couldn't in the last year. Let me make this clear; I want a year off. no relationships. This is not to say I want a year off from sex. So that's why I'm here.

For my age, my experience isn't awful, but it's far less than I would like it to be. I've had plenty of opportunities, but I lack the knowledge of how to properly open and close. Everything in between is a solid 8 out of 10; at least, I seem to think so. For me, this means that I end up waiting too long for the opportunity and fumbling when I get close to reaching an outcome (mainly from failing shit tests... who the fuck invented this shit?). Honestly, I have virtually no experience in any short-term success. I've always had a problem being mr. social around people I'm unfamiliar with. Now that I don't have a job and I'm not going to school, I need to have that skill under my belt. I'm forced to meet people in ways I'm uncomfortable and unfamiliar with, where I have no social proof hovering around me, in places I don't have the luxury of gradually obtaining it.

So here's my humble introduction into the community, starting on the safety of the forums, and then moving to the chaos of the field. I'll do my part in asking for advice when I struggle and posting my triumphs and new ideas or insights. I hope I can give back as much as I will get. Feel free to lay a beat-down on me or ask for any details I completely failed to give out.

Last problem. I'm 20. So no clubbing or bar-hopping :)

This is a completely blank average joe story. Hmm, to be fair, if I had to write a thesis on the completely blank average PUA, this would be it. I will call your project "tabula rasa."
