Thanks Rye Lee but i purposely avoided posting it here in the newbie section due to post life trends here now its going to the bottom of the stack for sure
Not if people keep talking on this thread. I think it's a good one. I also agree with Rye Lee's call on moving it to Newbie Questions because the guys usually posting here should totally read this.
My real name is pretty common and I never really liked it for that very reason. It made me feel like less of an individual. I also associate my real name with some negative feelings because I was a complete wbAFC before I took on my PUA name.
I feel like when I tell people my real name, people are like "Oh, another one. He's probably like all the rest, too." However, when I tell them that I go by "Chief," I feel like people recognize my individuality more. It also compels people to treat me more like a guy who knows what he's doing, which I think is a big part of my personality.
I always skip the commonly named threads in this section of the board like "help i have oneitis," but threads will ALWAYS grab everyone's attention when the title is SEXY... maybe like "My oneitis did WHAT??" I just thought of that one off the top of my head. It's sexy as a thread title because it's makes you curious about the story.
To be honest, though, the username on this forum doesn't affect whether or not I read their threads. I look at thread titles.
