I believe the philosophies, or as we call it on this forum, the tips, strategies, negs etc, have wider consequences than just getting a GF or a root. I honestly believe that the type of stuff you practice out in the field will make you a much better person as a whole. Confidence aside, you will have a more positive outlook on life and will enjoy life a lot more with your new attitude. If you're at school you might find that you are no longer the nerdy kid and likewise at work you'll find that your ability to communicate with your workmates has gone to an entirely different level!

I for one am thrilled with how things are going. It's early days but I feel like I've been given a new lease of life.

And you are exactly right. Good that you are seeing this early on.
