OK, i think i've read enough posts on 'Newbie Questions" to introduce myself.
First, the dry details:
age: turning 26 this month
Occupation: nerd (software engineer).
hobbies:
1) Work on my software project (which will hopefully make me a multi-millionaire some day).
2) Reading
3) I've been watching lots of anime during the past couple of months, though I normally don't watch TV ( I don't own one)
4) I smoke herb every once in a while
And second, how I see my current life.
I'm an average guy; not much money, looks or fame. I've always been interested in securing my future, though I go about it in a unorthodox way. I'm flesh and blood, so naturally I like girls, but they have never been a driving force in my life. Up until now, I haven't really cared about dating girls -- I mean, if one offered, sure, but not that I would beat myself over getting her. As a result, I've dated very few girls, had sex with even less.
My driving force has been power. Not the type of power that Joseph Stalin, or Arnold Schwarzenegger had, but an internal power. Think Bruce Lee. I truly see that guy as role model. I'm talking about the power to truly believe in yourself and to know that you can accomplish whatever goal you have set for yourself. Some would call it confidence, but I think it goes beyond that to include drive, determination, and the ability to get whatever you need to get done even in the face of complete opposition, among others.
Another driving force has been knowledge about the world and also about myself. Aristotle said that the biggest challenge isn't winning wars, or arguments; the biggest challenge is winning over yourself. I truly, truly agree with that. So I've made it my commitment to dominate myself, in all aspects of the word. I think been ignorant about X subject is the worst situation to be in, because not only you don't know, but also you don't know that you don't know (what a tongue twister!).
I look after myself, I eat healthy, I exercise, and I'm generally well groomed. I left home for out of state college a few months before turning 18. As I was finishing school, I started to play around with programming, since It's been a dream of mine to work on creating video games since I got my hands on Super Mario Bros in the early 90's (yeah, I got my Nintendo kinda late). I soon realized that programming is actually what I wanted to do for a living, so I dedicated (and still do, really) an insane amount of time to learning all aspects of technology; software engineering in particular. Funny enough, I only own a gameboy ds, which I even barely play.
I wasn't a shy boy throughout my life, but right before finishing school I decide to go into a path of understanding -- to just learn, about anything and everything. I stayed home a lot, and studied as much as I could. I did this for years. Actually, I haven't really stopped. Without realizing it, this turned me into a shy person. I'm constantly thinking a lot, about a lot of things -- my future, how I can make my current situation better, what's inside a Quark, etc. This in turn, has created a slight problem for me.
I've realize that I'm unable to live in the moment. I'm always thinking of the future, regarding what I'm doing. This seriously cuts my enjoyment of a lot of things. It's not healthy, I don't think. It's just plain annoying. Since I'm constantly calibrating my life to be better than yesterday, this is something I must tackle and get a handle over. Of course, reprogramming oneself takes considerable effort, so I decided to doubly challenge myself, to make something kinda painful a little more interesting. I'm doing this by combining my reprogramming with becoming an Uber player.
If I had it my way, I would get married before I'm 30. I don't want my future kids going off to college and for me to come visit them and have their friends confuse me with their granddad. That would be sucky for everybody. Also, I figured, If I'm going to be with some broad for the rest of my life it would do me good to pick the best possible one I can get away with. Since mastery of anything takes lots of practice, I'm wholly committed to the Game.
My current goals regarding girls, thus, is a follows:
1) As Bruce Lee did for his art, to develop "the style of no style". To make hooking up with girls as natural as the way water flows down the river. No canned openers, no lyies (not even if it's just flirting), and no pain when it doesn't succeed -- Not to even think about acting, but just doing so.
2) To bag as many girls as humanly possible.
3) To always increase the HBness of the girl I did before.
4) To continue this until I get married (hopefully not soon).
Hopefully, this will give you guys (and gals) a decent introduction about myself.
Regards,
Flex
PS: I just moved to Lynn, Massachusetts at the beginning of October. I don't know anyone here. I have commited myself to full on war on bitches, starting January 4, 2008, but not before then since I'm in the process of preparing myself for that long lasting war. I would love to hang with PUAs before that that are in the Area (I have a car, so I can drive).
PS2: this one is mostly useless. My board-name, Flex, means this:

I'm not buff. Basically, I'm going to specially in analyzing the broad's words for their true meaning.
