Glad you've reached that point. I guess I wouldn't want to have a serious relationship until I had my fill of fun, immature sex from hot girls. Wouldn't it just feel like you retreated otherwise?

I've had a couple but it just doesn't seem like enough to me. It should be in the triple digits before I can really say I'm convinced that LTR is for me.

Hopefully use protection and no STD's in the process.

Let me just say this, since everyone seems to be butting heads over why sex is awesome. First of all, SEX IS AWESOME. It just is.

Some people look for relationships beyond the physical; some don't. It's just how life works. If we're to help one another, we have to give advice based on being in the other person's shoes. I personally don't want a relationship right now, so all of my ventures are motivated by simply hooking up with women and possibly gaining another booty call when I'm feeling frisky (which is essentially all of the time). However, our friend, intrigued, may not feel that's what he wants. So, any suggestions are to steer him in the direction he wants to go.

Pickup, to me, is not about the women. It's about self. What is it that YOU want? It's becoming a more assertive, confident version of ourselves. It allows you to find and keep your identity and better yourself on your own terms. It's not about arguing with one another over who is right and who is wrong. Of course, I may be wrong in saying that, too.

I've said my piece. Have fun, guys. And good luck, intrigued.

Pickup is just an application of psychology and I am genuinely interested in the way other people think and behave. So if there's someone with a different point of view I want to reconcile that with my own.

Maybe he sees it as arguing but I'm just trying to better understand everything. Through picking up girls I've learned to communicate with people on a deeper level but I tend to get bored of people after sex. It's like the mystery just starts to wear off.

Maybe intrigued has some advice on that...
