the harmless guy scores a 97/96. i think 'manwhore' would be a more appropriate designation

Trust me, I am harmless....right until they start screaming my name

I thought about my post above...I was trying to be funny but realized it might have come off as glib.

I actually AM a "harmless guy" - it is my key sticking point. Before the community, I used to always be too chicken to make a move.

I could approach, carry on conversation, get girls cracking up at my jokes and tease them. I could get their numbers, and get them to go on "dates" with me. However, I would rarely touch them (kino) and never make a move so most just ended up becoming friends.

Instead, my natural way of getting girls was to try amp up their attraction until they became the aggressor and made a move on me. This way I was sure they wanted to have happen whatever happened and I wouldn't risk rejection.

Way before I discovered the community, I actually went through a several year transformation to make myself more attractive:

- started working out every day and put 50 lbs of muscle on my wiry frame
- started going to Toastmasters to improve my public speaking
- got lasik and ditched the glasses
- I lived way beneath my means, sacrificed going out and quit buying stuff so that I had some money in the bank
- whitened my teeth
- got acne medicine to clean up my face
- started reading books on dating (although they don't hold a light to what exists now)
- made friends with a trendy gay guy who helped me with a hair style and some trendy clothes
- gathered a large circle of girlfriends (mostly by my failed attempts to date them)

After I had my life together as well as I wanted it, I joined a dating service that sets you up on dates. In 2 years, I went on over 70 blind dates. Trust me, I am not uncomfortable on any dating situation anymore.

Through all of that, I still never learned really how to make a move. It would either just "happen", they would be the aggressor, or it wouldn't happen at all unless we were out drinking and I had some "liquid courage" in me.

So I kept trying to improve myself, discovered "The Game" and thus the community. Now I am actively working to remove the "Harmless Guy" from myself.

Twitchy, it sounds like you and I have a lot in common.
