Hello I'm MistressMaker and I am glad to have finally discovered what I think will be my new passion. I guess I have always been somewhat of a natural and yet I would find myself struggling with girls even so. I am 18 and excited to find that this community exists. I feel like such an idiot because I have been studying psychology, hypnotism, and marketing for the past 2 years in order to help improve my social abilities and mainly to land some SHB. I never bothered to research pick-up artists I just assumed I was going to have to pioneer the science of getting people to do what you want based on psychology. Then it all changed. I was on my way to the bookstore to pick up "How to Win Friends and Influence People" which for anyone interested is a great book. This was last night. Then I saw it on the shelf. The Game. How much credibility could this have I told asked myself. Something was telling me to just give it a shot. I finished reading it at 4 am. It has opened my eyes. I realized that the past 2 years have been pointless. I was trying to invent something but didn't bother to search for if it had already been invited. In one night I realized what I have been doing and what I need to do to improve. I like to think I'm not a typical AFC but I'm sure everyone likes to think that. I had been practicing techniques that I knew would work psychologically and but never had put a name to them. I discovered that I was Already using False Time Constraints, and I finally understood why a Freeze Out had always worked for me and had a name for what I called backing off so she wants you. I'm not here to talk about me however; because quite frankly none of you care. I'm here to learn everything I can and test it. I'm searching for wings near St. Louis and I'm searching for knowledge here. Someday I hope to post not as an AFC but as a MPUA. What tips do you guys have to offer? My sticking points are that I always get One-itis and transitions.
