Hi.

My name is Alain and I look forward to meeting you, growing with you, criticizing and getting angry at you, showing you concern, and asking for your help.

Long story short, Game brought me to consciousness. 5 years ago, I graduated college with about 100 lays, another hundred or so hookups -- but some seriously destructive habits after a youth of irresponsibility. My numbers decreased year by year as I learned about psychology and philosophy; also I learned from the pseudo-pop stuff of Robert Greene, then of multiple gurus, including Neil Strauss and Ross Jeffries. I consider my mentors to be Sinn and Brad P. As if learning from surrogate fathers, I modeled their mind for masculinity, sensitivity, travel, and business. Game taught me to be a man as I traveled to live in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and many other places. "No More Mr. Nice Guy" helped, although I don't think I'm a traditional Nice Guy in the way Dr. Glover might see it. Now I don't count lays, although maybe I will again for qualitative purposes as I start another new phase of life.

I love pick-up, for it equates to responsibility in this day and age. It removes our narrow minded view of relationships. We leave our lives that were in the future or the past, for then we can experience the present in a whole-hearted way. We drop our unrealistic ideal of a relationship in our head and stop comparing that to relationships in the real world. In my experience, the pain and the disappointment of relationships abated.

I'm now working on building a network of wingmen locally and on the forum.

So my stats...
