Alright, I always think it's cool to see where people are coming from. Normally I wouldn't have the balls to put up these old pics, but one thing that really sunk in lately for me was something Hypnotica said about putting yourself outside your comfort zone.




So, here's a couple pics from way back. One the left was the photo from my first driver's licence (1999), on the right the photo from my student ID from my first college year (2001). In high school I was (obviously) the fat kid. I had no fashion sense (or rather, I just let my mom buy my clothes). I was shy. But I really didn't give a shit what people thought of me back then. Come college I started to lose some weight and get out more.

Here is a driver's license photo from 2004. By this time I had lost a lot of weight. But I still didn't have much of a fashion sense or any social skills. I was a hardcore computer gamer from high school until last summer...

...When I decided to stop games altogether. These two pics are from the summer. I was trying to work on my appearance, but not making a lot of progress. After a while I decided I might look better with shorter hair. I learned about the seduction community about a month ago and since then I've been absorbing all the info I can find. Anyhow, now here is a recent photo of me.

I've been experimenting a lot. Messing with all kinds of different cloths combinations and styles. Finally figured out which combinations of mousse, gel, and pomade to use in order get my hair looking half-decent. A few weeks ago I admitted to myself that my acne wasn't go to go away and started using some acne cream.

I've come to live with my facial features but there is a lot I don't like. I have a bigass nose, my ears stick out, I have a widow's peak and an uneven hairline (probably because I had the same hairstyle for most of my life). But I'm trying to make the best of it.

I feel like I still have a ways to go. I've thought about getting some piercings... maybe a labret (because I want a soul patch but my damn hair won't grow there thick enough) though I'm not to keen on the idea of gum reccesion.

My head doesn't seem to be shaped right for hats. Every time I try to wear a hat it makes me look horrible.

Anyhow, any advice would be awesome: Clothes, hairstyles, piercings, accessories, anything.

Thanks!

I would grow the hair out longer again like the picture with the glasses showed. but aside from that awesome man, it seems you turned your life around quite well. And maybe try some collared shirts or something

Man, you should go with a jarhead cut, get your head tan and then go bald with the goatee.

A lot of HB8ups dig bald guys and seeing your latest pictures it would convey and athletic avatar. Its ballsy but based on your pics I think you could pull it off.

It's also a good way to get your chic aquantences or classmates that see you all the time but don't really talk to, to aproach you and open you. Just make sure that you can DHV when they are the ones that open.


HB8: Wow, where did all the hair go!
PUA: (CF) I'm Britney Spears #1 fan, after her VMA flop I decided to step it up and show support for my girl

HB8: haha u r soo funnny, lets hook up right here in chem lab!

something like that jk

damn. thats a transformation.

its good though,

nice job.

i agree with lovemonkey.

grow your hair out with the goatie and dress shirts.


with crzy colored ties and tight ass vests.

you'd look tight foo.

Based on that last pic, I'd work on your posture, wear some shiny necklaces, brighter clothing that catches the eye. Amazing what a haircut can do, eh? After mine, people saw me as a new person.

BTW, you don't have a big nose or big ears. Don't worry about stuff you can't control.

That is an impressive transformation! I personally like how you look on the pic with shades. You look quite good there and I think that you should do your hair like that again.

go with the sunglasses haircut

amazing transformation

just remember to be yourself stand up straight, smile, and look people straight in the eyes you will have women flocking to you

I agree w/ the long hair. Gives you a little more options on what to do w/ ur head.
Pick up a neclace maybe even a bracelet. Then you're deffinately on!
