Sure Dec
I was raised to be chivalrous by a single mother. I kept having one dissatisfying relationship after the other. Mainly I just took what naturally came to me through work or school. I didn't like the way the women looked, and they pretty much just ran me until I couldn't take it anymore, and left.
After one last bad relationship I realized I could be doing something wrong and I began researching how to talk to women. I stumbled across David D's Cocky Funny book.
I had a paradigm shift. I started talking to women but then realized I was a poor conversationalist. I couldn't just spit one CF line after the other because it was a gimmick, and it lost it's power after a few times when the woman realized I was seeking a reaction.
Plus I also was annoyed with what seemed like this cold void between me and the women so I looked for something on touch.
That's when I got Paul Jenka's Book, Dale Carnegie's how to win friends and influence people, and Vin Dicarlo's escalation ladder.
If you're not familiar with these things a quick run down.
Paul Jenka teaches a system of just getting girls as you go about your natural life routine. The Dale Carnegie stuff teaches how to be likable and hold interesting conversations with people, and the escalation ladder teaches how to escalate touch all the way to sex.
So I studied these books for about a week and memorized everything and as I went about my life I started talking to all of the women I encountered that I liked. I started getting numbers and realized my phone game was weak.
That's when I studied text game, and how to set up dates that lead to sex as best as possible.
Now I had a nice system and an abundance of women in my life. I described it vaguely here:

I ran this same thing for about a year and a half to two years and it got boring. Plus there were a couple of other problems with it. I could only get women in situations where we were 1 on 1, and there wasn't much movement so we could talk for a bit. It didn't work in clubs at all because women are easily distracted in this environment (and later I found out it was due to a mental blueprint thing). It didn't work for women who were with other people. It didn't work with women who were in hurries walking in some other direction.
So even though I discovered abundance I could only access women under a specific set of circumstances. Therefore I was still limited.
That's when I started becoming obsessed. I started looking into anything related to pick-up I could.
That's when I learned about tracking my numbers to keep track of improvement. And about breaking the pick-up down into different stages, and using flirting, building comfort... All of that shit.
I also started looking into other things that could possibly be related that I could use to make my closing rate better.
That's when I started studying cognitive biases, human psychology, sales, negotiation, and fbi interrogation tactics.
I quit my job and started doing sales.
During this time I started going out in the day with the intent to pick-up women, and I started going to clubs.
Then I got the idea that I wanted to be around like minded people so I started joining forums. That's when I discovered that 99% of the guys on the forum are in fact not like me. 90% don't talk to women, and 9% are content with small levels of success.
But I got a few PUA wings and started going out with them. That was great for a while. I also started just talking with guys too and discovered how easily impressed they are with basic pick-up skills. I began creating social circles, but they would fall apart.
That's when I did what I always do. I looked for some professional training. And now I'm doing Gambler's social circle training. He isn't one of the teachers in the program but he endorses it.
After researching Gambler I found this forum. It took me a while to join it because I really don't like the make-up of pua forums. It's hard to find quality people who are really dedicated to reaching the heights of their lives on these things.
I only made an account so I could use the forum to start researching. The first thing I researched was push/pull because it's not something that is taught in depth in any of the other pick-up stuff I've learned from so far. But then I got the urge to make a few posts and I did. I got attacked immediately.
So far with my social circle training I've added bouncers from clubs, a few promoters, and a few women who make the plans for their groups of friends. The promoters let me and the women into the clubs for free, free drinks and vip wrist bands, and the bouncers protect my women. I also have a few guys who look up to me and follow my lead. (Not PUA's)
In the training they talk about adding photographers and rich guys as well as joining social clubs. Not just the glamour clubs.
Photographers gain access to celebrity parties, and the highest class events in the city because these people need someone to take the photos. That's going to be cool. I look forward to that life.
Now my plan is to create a massive social network and take over my city.
I'm even floating ideas about becoming the mayor, but I haven't committed to that just yet.
I'm just going to go mia for a while so I can simply study in peace.
Later.
