Guys, this place is a safe haven for you. A place for you to come and learn, and grow. A place that you don't have to worry about asking stupid questions. If you need to know something, ask. We're not here to judge your questions. Now, granted, some questions could be searched, but that doesn't mean we're judging.

We're here to give you guys and girls a safe place to grow. Away from the outside world. Where you can be honest, in order to find the best solution to your problem.

And if someone gives you a hard time while you're here, bring it to a mod. We'll handle it, because again, this is a safe haven for you.

Thx man, i just watched and didnt join the forum for like 2 months because i wasnt sure how i would be treated. maybe im not as experienced or what if they are jerks. but then i realized if i can walk up to an HB 8 at the copy machine and get somewhere (better than a year ago when i would have just thought "dam shes hot"), expressing my views/problems in a new forum should be nothing lol. and the mods here are very thorough.

Man, when I came here, I was just a few weeks into my second attempt at improving my game.

I starting working on it back in January and I tried to fix some stuff for a couple months, got some new clothes, started being conscious of how I walked and talked. I got tired of doing it alone and my roomates giving me a hard time for spending to much time talking about it and thinking about it, so I dropped it.

I went to this annual music festival in August that I'd been to last year. I didn't really get anywhere last year, but I was confident that with even a small increase in my game I could do better, because honestly, its like shooting fish in a barrel there. People walk around handing out free condoms, just to make sure people are prepared when some sex comes their way.

I didn't get anything though. I was close with one girl, but she had a bf and even though I knew he was a dick and I should just get with her anyways cause she wanted it, I didn't have the tools. I tried going to find other girls, but I didn't know how to do cold approaches, only warm approaches.

So, when I got home, I re-read The Game and I started reading other books about psychology and sexuality and why people do what they do. Then I hopped on here and asked a question, but no one really gave me the kind of answer I was looking for. So, I just started browsing through the place, looking at other people's questions and I realised that its much easier to figure out what other people are doing wrong that what I'M doing wrong! So, I started answering questions and people actually LIKED what they heard! From some guy that really didn't have much experience himself. So then I started looking at the stuff I was answering and as I would answer, I would think about how I had been in similar situations and what I had done wrong, just like these people. After a little while, I realised where I was making mistakes and I could correct them now. Since then, I've been able to open sets and get numbers and even set up day 2's without any trouble.

So, If a guy that just came out of nowhere and hadn't been hanging around for 2 months, can suddenly turn it all around, then so can anybody and I hope people try. I know I was afraid to start posting and stating my opinions, but you never know, maybe yours are good too.

Whew, sorry that got so long! Inspirational stories just kinda take on a life of their own!
