Hello everyone!

i think i'll go by the name FutureBeast here..
i am a 19 year old, who just finished school and is currently on a gap year. Part of this gap year is not only to travel, but to learn and improve who i am. These include the key aspects of life; work, fitness, health but this also includes my social skills and my ability to attract women - which may not be important to other people.

I have never had much luck with women, well i have had luck but i have always been to scared and nervous to make anything happen.. which made me lose a couple friends in my life. I never had any self confidence and was always to scared to be the centre of attention or to even make an effort with being social at all. I used to weight 100kg (220 lbs) which was the main reason I never believed in myself, i used to think girls would find me hideous. Over the past year and half i lowered my weight to 69kg (152 lbs) and i am now building lean mass. This doesn't mean i have a six pack or anything, i still have fat but Its a long term plan. This transformation has really changed my life, ever since my body has changed i have become more confident and i am now wanting to enjoy life and learn everything i can before i start University this summer. But it took me a long time to realise how big you are does not actually have a great affect with girls.

On top of that during my young years while i was at school, i also had to look after my Disabled brother which was definitely hard to combine with everything else but family comes first. So due to this i never had free time to go out with friends, thus limiting my social circles.

I have always been able to be great at becoming friends with girls, in fact i made enemies because people were so jealous at how every girl in my school would always get along with me, but nothing more. And now i want to learn the art of attracting women.

When you have never had a girlfriend or be in any sort of relationship, it really makes you eager to become the best. I want to be the best at this.

I also have no idea where to start in this new world? I have bought the books The Game and Bang to give a read, and have watched videos on Daniel Blake. I went out (with my heart racing) to pick up girls with no knowledge and i got 1 number out of 15 girls. If anyone has any info or tips they could give me, or where i should start with this?

thanks! Look forward to learning with the rest of you

Looks like you've sorted it all out. Just need to put it into action. Read the book "The Game" then read "MODELS BY MARK MANSON". No more books after that. Try to apply what you learn in these. You can even start approaching while you're reading these books (don't have to wait to finish them).
Great job on reducing the weight, hell I can't even reduce my belly fat for ages.

haha thanks! yeah I bulking up now then going in for a cut till University..

ah cool, thanks for the recommendation. will give a read!

I'd disagree on reading "The Game" as it does literally nothing whatsoever to improve your skills. Models, I haven't read - I have heard great reviews, though. Spend the next month using as many openers and routines as you can possibly find, and then gradually fade them out.
