Hello,
My name is Kai, and I'll try to keep this short and relevant
I'm now 34, and I'm the guy my other friends would probably call "a natural"- but it's all relative, isn't it? I really hesitate to call myself that, and I'm by no means a "real" PUA or a MPUA. Instead, I present the hard facts: I had a solid girlfriend in HS that was 12 years older than me. After her, I was engaged to a gorgeous stripper from age 18-23. I bounced back from that through a "dark period", followed by a "slightly less dark" period. After reading "The Game" in '07 or so, I was hooked on the concepts, theory, and application of the PUA lifestyle.
Then, there was a year or two in Hawaii where me and my room-mate tried "taking it to the streets", so to say. It was interesting to see what held up, and what didn't, and also, the level of dedication it takes to pull some of these things off. Needless to say, my game improved, but has never risen to the level of true "PUA" status, IMO. Now my room-mate, on the other hand, is another story entirely... Entire books could be written about this guy, but let's suffice to say that it just never happened for him (though as an objective observer it was no surprise to me- he just couldn't work the concepts properly, along with a very strange inner game).
Me and said room mate moved to Hollywood in 2009. Right before that, I was lurking this forum A LOT. Since then, I've developing a fairly rad approach to online dating that's been more than fruitful. I've had a gf for the last year whom I met online, and to be honest, before that I had completely written off traditional in-person PU, and made it a point to not go anywhere unless I already had a date. A little retarded and bourgeois, but whatever. Currently I have a recording studio in Hollywood, and do a podcast by the name of "MetalSlut" a few times a week with varied guests... I just had a PUA by the name of "Magma the Machine Monster" on my show, and it was a hilarious conversation. Really good stuff!
Let me finish by saying that if anyone else here in the Hollywood area wants to hang out, I'm down. I work in the music biz and need to get out more often than I do. Also, I'm VERY up for any PUAs in the area to come do a podcast with me and drop some stories/knowledge/general b.s. Seriously, let me interview you and it will be a blast! If you're interested get in touch.
