What's up Pua-forum!

I'm new to the site but nowhere near new to the community.

I'm almost 24 and I first discovered the pua community when I was 15 trying to learn how to talk to girls. At the time I had girls interested in me (although I'm not sure why) but I had no idea how to handle their interest.

I would become instantly attached and emotionally invested in people I hardly knew. I would express my deep love on a regular basis and run around trying to please everyone I wanted to viewed favorably by.

Needless to say I ended up flat on my face over and over again.

Then I found the community and everything changed. The first thing I found was david deangelo and double your dating. Now that I look back, it was pretty beta stuff but baby steps right?

Anyway, regardless of where I started, this community sent me off on a journey of personal development.

I realized a while back a truth that has stayed with me through every step of my progression, and that is that your results will never exceed your skill level. Pretty basic, but it made me realize that if I wanted to attract the girl of my dreams (smart, driven, healthy, funny, etc) I would have to be the man of theirs.

Simply put, if I want a 10, I have to be a 10

So roughly the last 4 of my life have been spent discovering who I am and what I'm made of, and I've grown in so many more ways than just being able to recite some pick up lines. I got clarity on what I stand for, and I've been going after those things ever since.

So here I am. A new face to the forum, but I'm all to familiar with it.

I'm here to find like minded individuals, in pursuit of a higher expression of life.

If this jives with you, talk to me.

Hey, how is it going? Im Vatomex from NV. I can relate to alot of what you posted. I also looked for ways to talk to girls at around age 15. Yet, I never came to know the pickup community until 11/2009. I read DYD by Deangelo around the same time, after I noticed girls at my work place being sexually interested in me, yet I didn;t kow what to do. I too tendedto be too nice to people, mostly girls, I have learned somewhat though to be more of a real man. I too love personal developmenet and becoming better, in order to attract better women that are sexy, healthy, and social. I applaud your effort to become a better man, I too am in that same proccess now. I hope we can be friends, and that we can exchange ideas that will benefit us both.

What's up vaztec823!

Thanks for saying hey man, I'm new to this forum stuff so forgive me as I find my stride.

about 5 years then? That's awesome man, how big has the impact been?

Also I'm always looking for new books because I'm a huge nerd about this stuff.

Is there anything that you've read about pickup or anything having to do with it like psychology or sociology, that you would recommend?

Cheers!

The thing is that I have read books, seen videos, and listened to audio books, mostly in teh past 2 adn a half years. However, I have just read(I'm kind of a nerd too), and studied, I havent actually used what I know much. Though that is changing, since I have decided to make a major change in having the 9's and 10's I know I deserve, as well as helping other men do the same. I love personal development, like you said you do as well. So, I think you and me have at least that much in common, and possibly alot more. So, back to your question, what books would I reccommned? There is The lay guide, by tony Clink. The Mystery Method, by Mystery. I also like The Pickup Artist, by Mystery. I also rally enjoyed watching and learning from The Pickup Artist TV show on VH1.I still need to read it, yet I like what I have read about it so far. I wish I could reccommend more reading, but I'm still a student, and most importantly a doer of Pickup. We will keep in touch though, I'm about to go into Pick up big time, and I will be sharing what I learn, as well as keep learning what others like yourself have to share. Keep learning, keep growing, and great job in taking action man!

Right on man!

Yeah I love the nerding out part of all of this but like you said it's more about the doing. For a long time I got in the trap of just learning and not really applying it in my life but once I started getting the hang of it, I realized that it's not something you need to set aside something to do (although you learn faster if you go at it rapid fire). I started to see that all the things I was learning was applicable in my day to day life.

I can think of very few things in life that doesn't involve other people on some level and I began to see that I could apply the same skills to talking to anyone that crossed my path whether its another guy, a family member, or a really attractive woman.

Not that I'm trying to sleep with guys or my family haha but I think really what this is all about is becoming socially aware and able to communicate with others in a way that makes them responsive to you.

So about 4 years ago my focus switched from learning to get my dick sucked to being able to add value to the people in my life regardless of if I'm trying to get in their pants and honestly my results have improved a million times over.

Once you learn how to communicate and build rapport with everyone effectively, girls pursue you.

If you want a ten, you've got to be a ten.

Thanks for the response man! Feel free to pm me anytime!

way to go man!
You are right all the way, meeting girls is not just theory, but about taking massive action! Thats the stage I'm at right now, I know alot, yet I gotta make a plan,organize all the pickup information,and most importantly take the action to actually get the girls.
How were you able to do it though? I mean there is so much advice out there, how did you organize all the information, and put it into action(what did you do/say once at the bar,club)? what steps did you take? I know its common sense, yet the first few times of meeting the nines and tens must have been hard, werent they?
Yes, I have heard mystery talk about how what you learn about game can be used at meeting people in general.
Were you are at now is were I want to be and thats where I will be soon. Thanks for sharing man!
