Brilliance indeed. I've been in the game a good two years now, and will admit that at one point most everyone is going to get tested.
In my case, it was a slight collapse of my inner game. Keep in mind, this was also a period in time that I stopped hitting the gym for awhile and drank a bit more than one should. So lifestyle has a big effect on your shit.
I am now back in my groove and haven't felt more like myself for years. It's funny how in the beginning, routines and lines, opening/closing, ect. actually play a big part in your success. Then, once you're as far in as, say... I am, you learn what it is to actually BE YOURSELF and still get the women. Even better, at this point you will probably start pulling girls that you can actually
stand after sleeping with them.
