I started reading things from this site and pick up books when I was like a freshman in high school or something like that. I had absolutely no game, and knew nothing about how to interact with women. Started at 0. Now, I'm about to be a junior in college, and my game is 1000 times better then when I started. Nothing that I read on this site, or in a pua book did that for me. It was based solely on confidence, and trial and error. I never memorized any stupid scripts of things to say, but took the natural approach. I learned how to be confident and the girls followed in the wake. Success is no short trip, it is a way of life. If you want something substantial there are no shortcuts except for wake up every day and put in the work. Talk to girls even when you feel nervous. Go for the kiss even if you aren't sure she will take it. One approach does more for your progress than an hour reading internet material. This is a good place for reference and to keep your mind thinking the correct direction, but don't let material and real life experience get confused. The only way you learn to pick up girls is in the real world.

I still have much to learn, and I will do that learning in front of women, not the computer.

If anyone has anything to add, I look forward to it.
