| I'm 30 years old and from the Midlands in the UK and for as long as I can remember I've been addicted, however my drug of choice isn't Heroin or Cocaine but women.
I found myself being attracted to girls from a young age, but they weren't as attracted to me initially whilst I was going through my awkward teenage years. However since the age of 17 I began getting more and more successful, there was no particular technique or "game" that I had. I was just always myself and seemed to have women around me, I was never great with approaching but somehow I'd fall into conversations or be approached. Since the age of 17 I've never actually had a point in my life where I've been completely single and I've had sexual relations with close to 30 women. I've had long term relationships in the past which have broken down due to me always finding the next LTR or MLTR's or fling.
I got introduced to "the game" by a friend. I've always tried to give him advice on women here and there as he's a stereotypical AFC however he told me about a book called "The Game" where he discovered all these techniques, he'd played about with them and realized they worked for him in terms of approaching and getting into rapport. I read the odd chapter which he recommended and realized I was using a lot of the techniques, especially neg theory and cocky funny, however I just hadn't internalized the techniques to realize them as a routine and pattern of success. I was naturally flirtatious with every girl I met and I don't know what has changed but I went from all that to just being quiet and slightly introverted. I'm still comfortable around women however I'm not the fun flirty guy I used to be. I wasn't as happy in my work and personal life so I remembered the book "The Game", bought my own copy and decided to see if it could help me re-discover my old self.
In the past year I've flirted with the pick-up game, my circle of friends have never been the pick-up type, however I've been out and tried the odd routines and they've helped me get some of my self-confidence back. From what I've read on here so far the older pick-up routines are quite dated however the majority of what I've used currently is Mystery Method and I've enjoyed it. I've watched a few random videos, which led to me discovering Adam Lyons (love his stuff), a quick google search later led me here....
In terms of my hobbies I'm quite active, play sports and I enjoy training and go gym regularly. I'm also a bit of a science geek, enjoy reading and watching documentaries and I'm self employed. At this time in my life I am in a serious LTR but my problem is I still can't help but seek that thrill of attraction from other women, it's almost like I crave approval from the opposite sex. Where I sought this approval, but wasn't able to attract women like I used to, it affected my confidence and in some ways I went into a downward spiral. I found that when i was more confident and flirtatious, my professional life was a lot more successful and I was happier in my personal life, so I'm looking to re-learn the art of pick-up to improve my life as a whole and get my fix........
