Hey everyone,
I don't know if it's bad etiquette to share real names on here, but mine is Steve and I am 30 years old from Troy NY. A friend of mine turned me on to Neil Strauss's THE GAME and I am all fired up about learning more.

I am a musician, and all my life I've always heard musicians get tons of girls. Yet when I play a gig, I usually wind up sitting alone in the corner once my set is done. No one approaches me. Hell, maybe a few guys will tell me I played a good set...but that's about it. For years I wondered, "How is it I have access to one of the most natural aphrodisiacs in the world...the ability to play music...yet I am always alone? Am I REALLY that much of an anti-stud?"

Now I realize the answer is there's nothing wrong with me. But there is everything wrong with my game, or lack thereof.

Part of my problem has been dealing with the issue of women liking the bad boys. Being a jerk goes against every fiber of my being, and I just can't help but be a nice guy. What I didn't realize until reading Neil's book is that women don't necessarily hate guys; they hate the ones who let themselves get walked over.

I am glad to have found this forum and I hope some of you can help me develop a good idea of what to do before I try venturing out with these techniques.
