Hello,
I'm an rAFC due to an ending 6 year relationship. I've spent the last month acquiring knowledge on the subject of seduction, and realized that many of these things are things I did before my relationship, and that's where I found my success. I have had a pretty successful past with women, never dated anyone under a 7.5...and myself, probably a 6 from lookin at me. I've had success with sales in the past, and now that I'm single, i'm going to approach seduction as a sales process in order to have the highest possible outcome (something i never conciously did before). I went out on my first sarge with a pivot the other day, took control of the place, and began number closing. I know i'm still recovering because I didn't call them, and probably never will...but it is starting to come back. In the last month of acquiring my knowledge, I have also hit the weight room hard, seen a dermatologist, and changed my diet incredibly. I will be successfully sarging by springtime, and taking care of business come summer. Hit me up to tip me in.
A special thanks to the Lieutenant out in vegas and Gman here in the Mil.

Welcome to the forum! I'm happy to see this you are working on other areas of yourlife as well and not just the game. I got into the game after being married 4 years, she cheated, and I was crushed. I've been doing this for a few months now. I hear what you are saying.

Again Welcome and keep us updated on your progress.

Welcome! It's always a pleasure to see someone who is really taking charge of his life. Best of luck.

P.S. Glad to see you had success with the pivot. Was she just there for social proof, or did she help you in other ways?

Welcome, HighCard! I'm an rAFC, too, after running into the Game by chance. I just came out of a 7 month relationship, and I'm fucked up, so I can't imagine what you're going through. It's inspiring to see that you harnessed that down time into some constructive activities. Good luck to you, and congrats on the successful night.

as for the pivot: social proof, way too dumb to really help me any other way...she did let me know the name of a girl that she knew a while back and didn't think would recognize her...I esp'd her, her name was melanie...i went to her with the "female opinion" open, and then shot to esp...i guessed melissa so as not to be creepy...number close wasn't hard after I told her i had to go, and coaxed the singer of the band to let me have a song...she came to me later

As for the fucked up thing after a relationship...hell yes...it has a way of fucking your head up, but in my readings, i see exactly where I faltered...I stopped playing the game, i picked her up with it, kept her around with it, but in the last 6 monthes, i was too much of a nice guy, not enough negs, and tried to be everything for her...won't make that mistake again, the old cliche stands tall, "nice guys finish last." So i'll go back to cocky/funny, it's always been my forte...

I find something inherently depressing about that... I'm a bit of a humanist, so I guess I'd always hoped there would be a point in a relationship where you could relax, so to speak, and just try to make the other person happy, instead of having to always play mind games.

it's definately a depressing idea. I hope that at some age that goes away, i'm still young, and is she...but i can even see now...i can game and neg her into coming over, but the second i show that i care and love her, her tires are spinning. I can see exactly where in the relationship that i stopped messing with her head, and she stopped messing with mine, and it all went downhill...and we were living together and engaged, after 6 years, i'm back in the bar picking up women
