Hi all,

First of all, it's really great to be here. I love that this forum is busy. To me that means a lot of good guys who want to help each other out, and that's what I'm looking for.

I think my story is a little different than most of the other intros here. First of all, I'm 46 years old and married. After 20 years of monogamy I broke out last year and opened up my marriage. For my whole life I assumed women weren't attracted to me, but I was pleased to find that many of them are. It feels pretty good, and it turns out I absolutely neeeeeed it. I believe I've had reasonably good success with women so far. On one hand I've only slept with eight women in my whole life, but on the other hand, six of them were last year. So I quadrupled my count in just a few months and I'm proud of that. But I hope this is just the beginning...

I'm taking it very seriously, as many of you are. I've hired a dating coach, a communication coach, a charisma coach and a therapist for good measure. When I first started learning pickup, I swallowed the red pill immediately. It just made sense. Becoming an alpha male, however, has been more difficult, mostly because of past issues that I'm working though in therapy. My external game is coming along nicely but my inner game is another story. Still, I'm hopeful.

Anyway, I've been dying to get involved in this forum for a long time and I'm glad I'm finally here. I have a TON of questions (get ready for a lot of posts ) and I'll try to help others when I can.
