Hi, im 26 and from Ireland,and am defo an afc, when it comes to looks,i dont think im bad looking, and have even dated some very attractive women in the past. and once I get to know people I am full of confidence no matter what their looks. The thing is I really think when i was about 17/18/19 years old, I was using some of the PUA techniques thought here, but it was completely natural and didnt even realise they existed,but I dont know how but it all went wrong over time.

Between a growing obsession with Music and mathematical gambling, and crouching over a laptop, and a lack of sex, and paranoia about not 'performing in the bed', over years and years I have lost all confidence.I have no problem with girls Im not attracted to but I absolutely cant even approach a girl thats good looking,it takes me months to be finally my best self around them.
Recently a girl Id been kind of checkin out alot while calling to a friend while he worked actually sat right down beside me in a restaurant and said hello. This was without a doubt my lowest point ive been,i panicked, face went red, stomach almost sick, and hands and legs shaking. I had nothing to say to her, could barely hear what she was saying or asking me as I was in such a shock over my nervousness.

It was crazy, Ive never been that bad, needless to say i screwed it up and barely get a hello from her now. To be honest though that incident was exceptional but really opened my eyes to the fact that I was an AFC, i just didnt realised thats what we were called

Anyway reading alot about PUAs have really brightened things up for me since and I hope that in the coming months Ill be one of the best seducers amongst my friends,(as they give me a hard time for not trying it on with women). Even the last few nights I find myself negging and being more of a tease with women,also being kind of pretend cocky and its shocking the results Im already getting. While im not scoring yet im getting much more attention.It might help that us Irish have a drinking culture though and that allows us to losen up alot more than other guys.
best of luck to all the AFCs like myself.

Remember, it's not your game that you lose.. it's the confidence to run it correctly. Sometimes it takes a simple good sarge to reestablish that but in all honesty it's mentality and attitude.

remember, all the material you read is a guideline and all the parts put together shouldn't be followed to a T. it's really about being prepared for anything on the fly and definitely not reading from a script

LOL, so in other words, yes, you've lost your game. But, don't worry. That happens to A LOT of us. We even have a term for it . . . rAFC, or recovering AFC. You can get past this.
True, later in the game, but remember, the material and methods are there to help you start over, or begin again. USE them. Use the lines until you are comfortable and can come up with your own.

what part of ireland are you from? cause i organising a meet for us northerners. Theres also an irish based PU forum, Pm me and ill send you a link cause I cant post it here
