Time to grow
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 5:21 pmHello All,
As cliche as it is, my interest in pickup is a result of a friend introducing me to "The Game." I read the whole book in three days, and have been doing more and more reading over the past month or so. What's really hooked me on the whole topic is how it encourages overall life improvement, not just getting more women.
A year or so ago I was in a pretty dark place, extremely unhappy, very overweight, and more or less a hermit. Since then, I've lost over 110 lbs, re-established somewhat of my social life, and gotten back in school. But I still want more, a lot more. I've always been the intelligent, nice dude that was friends with all the girls but never a romantic interest. I've been with 2 girls in my 23 years, both drunk meaningless encounters that I hardly remember, and never had a real long term relationship (anything over 2 months). I'm not bad looking by any means, I'm still a bit out of shape, but that will change in time. That's not the problem at all, its all internal shit, from years of being a pussy.
I'm going to become a social leader (I have no problem leading in school or at work), I'm going to allow myself to have a fabulous time whenever I go out and not give a fuck about anyone's opinion. I'm going to get more women but most importantly, this is all going piggyback into me continuing to improve my overall quality of life and reaching and exceeding my goals in every avenue. I know I'm the fucking man, I just have to figure out how to display it ALL the time.
One problem for me is that my few friends locally just aren't of the same mindset, so its a bit of a drag. I think having some people with the same goals to hang around with would really amp me up, alleviate some of my AA, and help me improve. I'm an analytical guy, so breaking down approaches and shit after a night out IS my type of thing. I'm also working on trying to sarge when sober, which is fucking tough so far. Don't get me wrong, I still drink, but I've been trying to keep it to once a week as it interferes with some of my health goals.
Anyway this post got long, but I will be active on these boards for sure. I've lurked for a week and really like what some of you have to say, so I may shoot you a PM.
