(This will be a somewhat long post, but I would appreciate it if you guys would read it all. Thanks.)

I am in my early 30's and am new to this whole crazy world of PUA's. I came across it on YouTube by accident. I found it interesting and decided to look into it a bit more, so here I am. Actually, let me make a correction. I am not brand new to the whole notion of PUA's or their techniques, but rather I am new to actually putting it into practice. Let me explain.

There is a guy in my family who is in his 60's now, but was a major player back in the 70's when he was in his 20's. When I was a teenager I would often visit him on my summer break. He would wait until his wife went to bed, then he would sit me down and teach me how to pick up women. I mean it was like he turned into a professor and I was his student. He took it very seriously. This was back in the 90's when I was still a teenager (he was in his 40's at the time he told me this).

I could go into all of his techniques but I wont. Basically he told me that you can't fear rejection and you have to get the attitude of not caring. I asked him how many women he had fucked and he said "over 100." He said the more women you get, the more it helps you get other women. It's kind of exponential. He had all kinds of stuff he told me about how to give them psychological tests without them knowing, and how to identify women who are attracted to you before ever talking to them etc. I mean he had his game down pat. I could go into much more detail, but I came across Cory Skyy on YouTube and his techniques are identical to this guys.

Now as for me. Even with all of his instruction, I have never been a ladies man. I took it all in but I have never been confident enough to approach a woman even when I know she is making eye contact with me. I have fucked probably 12-15 girls in my life. While that's an above average number, it obviously is nothing special. I haven't gotten laid in several years and haven't dated since 2005. Sad I know. Very sad indeed.

I have always been told I am good looking. I am 6'1, about 200 lbs and in good shape. I have dark hair and blue eyes (women compliment me on my eyes). A few years ago I got really into working out. I was in the gym 5 days a week pumping iron. I got decently "jacked" over the period of a year. Like many gym rats, I got obsessed; I weighed all my food and ate grilled chicken and salads until I wanted to puke.

At any rate, I am telling you this because there was a girl at the gym who was really hot. She always came alone and did her workouts, often right beside me. She always made eye contact and smiled, etc. She ALWAYS got on the treadmill right beside me, even though there were 20 empty ones. She always used the dumbbells right beside me, even though there was plenty of room elsewhere. She would stand 3 feet from me, bump into me, etc. If the treadmills were full, instead of waiting at another one, she would wait at mine. Like right behind me. One day I was getting of the treadmill and she was so close behind me that I had to push her out of the way to get by (literally, she was like 1 foot behind me). When she saw me getting off she wouldn't move. I had to literally bump her out of the way.

But it gets better. One day, I got finished with my workout, dressed out and was getting ready to leave. I looked and she was still in the middle of her workout. Anyway, I walked out the door and I noticed she followed me (I mean she was in the middle of her workout and stopped immediately when she saw me leaving). She didn't even dress out of her gym clothes. I got into my car and noticed her getting into hers (which was parked right beside me). I left the parking lot and noticed she was behind me. I went straight then turned left. She followed. I made another left. She followed. At this point I thought she might be following me, so I started making turns at random. I made another right then a left, etc. The whole time she was behind me. She kept her distance not to make it obvious. I then decided to stop at a grocery store just to see if she followed. Guess what? She turned into the parking lot too. As I got out of my car, she drove by and then left out of the parking lot back onto the main street and went on her way. It became very obvious she was following me. No doubt about it.

What's my point? Here is this very hot chick following me around. Shes in great shape and just my type. I was 30 at the time and she was 23. I know she was 23 because dudes would flirt with her and I would listen in on their conversations out of curiosity of how other dudes flirt, etc. One guy asked her for her number and she turned him down. I kinda chuckled to myself but felt bad for him at the same time. At least he had balls.

At any rate, the next day I went back to the gym and she was already there. I walked in, she looked at me and then looked down at the floor as if she was embarrassed. I just did my workout and never said a word. I was too nervous. I knew she had an attraction to me (I mean maybe an obsession to be honest), but I was too much of a pussy to say anything! Eventually I quit working out and haven't been back to that gym, so I have no idea if she's still there or not (I doubt it). I obviously missed a huge chance. I never said as much as "hi" to her and I saw her about 3 times a week for about 6 months.

So that's me. A guy with no game whatsoever. I have zero confidence in myself and I know I need to work on it. When I go out with friends, they all try to get me to talk to women, but I never do. Even my friend's girlfriends try to give me tips. Some of my buddy's girlfriends will tell me "you are so good looking, it's just crazy you cannot talk to a woman. If you were ugly I might understand. I just don't get it." Etc, etc.

I just got to thinking that all of the girlfriends I have had in my life have asked me out. Every single one. I have NEVER asked a girl out in my life. God it's so sad. I am in my early 30's and have NEVER approached a woman. I mean really. It's pathetic. All of them have asked me out (either directly or through friends).

So, can anyone relate to me? Holla at me if you have had similar experiences or if your self-confidence is, or has been, in the gutter. I would also like to know how you've turned it around or how I should get started. I am really tired of being a Beta chump ass bitch.
