After a bit of reading in the PUA books I have learned Im doing EVERYTHING wrong! I wear my heart on my sleeve in a relationship, I come off as needy, and I am a nice guy. . . So here to start my journey!

Hey dude I live in austin too. Well right now i'm in college in Dallas, but what venues do you go to to game? Barton springs is an awesome place

Well right now none. Im like literally just starting. Havent dated anyone in atleast 2 years because I wanted to focus on getting my own life straight first. However Barton springs sounds like a great place for me to start! This Wednesday is payday and a day off so I think im gonna go there to do the newbie mission. Wish me luck!

Welcome to the board.

I'm a retired bullrider from just south of San Anton'... My old traveling partner was from Elgin, round your parts.

I've been gaming for the better part of 17 years (with a shitty marriage in there as well...). We started learning about it on the rodeo circuit - talking with a guy who was a self-professed player. What struck me as ironic was that while other guys would insult him behind his back - he always fucked hot chicks.

From then on, I listened to him, and anyone and everyone I saw actually had success. Since then, I'd ran game before I ever knew there were definitions. But - holy shit is it off the chain now!

I read as much as I can, I still try to learn daily. I suggest you look at the concepts - then find the ones that make sense to you & learn them.

The biggest indicator of success is your own ability to open set-after-set-after-set. Until you don't have fear of opening a set with 3-4 HB9/10's in it.... keep on practicing.

You'll know when you're getting it. When you can transition without even thinking about it - when you can escelate reflexively, when you can see a woman and immeditealy think 'I can caveman this chick right now', and F-close in under 2 hours... just sit back and smile - and we'll say "Welcome to the club".


Rodeo.

Thanks for the encouragement! Was a little worried that at 33 I might be getting a late start on it all. One of my friends loaned me his DVD "ultimate natural game" From Gambler and I am watching it now. (He said it got him married so he doesn't need it anymore). Already learning what kino is and ready to try some. Thought about trying it on the girls at work but then thought I probably shouldnt shit where I eat.

I'm 45.

My target demo is 35+. If I suspect they're under 35, they aren't even on my radar - I've trained myself that way now, it doesn't waste time.

I don't shit where I eat. I don't fuck any chicks from the townhome community I live in. I don't run game at the pool here. I fucked one chick here, but that's a strange deal (Married - she's 53, he's 70 - she's his trophy wife, he's not able to perform - so he asked me one day to fuck her. I hit it once every 2-3 weeks, he watches.).

I've said it in other posts, I'll tell you here - I fuck 3-4 women a week, on average. I've fucked 22 since the new year. The game - works.

You'll have brain meltdown with all the different nuances of the game - find your style and develop the game around that. Scripts are models - learn the reason for the script and you'll be making your own!

You'll get out of this what you put into it - and while I seemingly hate women at this stage of my life and cannot even fathom a girlfriend/relationship... I'm a HUGE fan of pussy...LOL.

My brother is the farmer-type. He finds one field, settles down and plants crops... Me, I'm the conquistador. I want to conquer as much new territory as I can and plant my flag... Then, someone else can come in behind me and plant crops...
