Hello,
I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hi, introduce myself, and share with you my seduction goals so y'all can hold me accountable. At some point I hope my future success will encourage all of you to step up in turn
A bit about me (mein kampf):
I'm 24 and I'm not terrible with girls. I've pulled from bars, the street, college campuses, etc. and I've had one girlfriend when I was 19 (she worked at a bookstore and she actually picked me up), which lasted for about 4 months (cluster b). Right now I sleep with one girl every month or two, and almost always these are from day game, as night game where I live is not good (small college town -- I'll talk about my solution to that in a minute). When I was 18 I traveled around Scandinavia, and when I was 20 I moved to Russia for a year, and this really opened me up to what it can mean to be alive and a man in this world. I had a lot of fun and got a wide range of reference points (I also lived in Austria for a while too). Before going to Russia I was only beginning to unfold out of blissful ignorance towards social dynamics, as when I was younger I was satisfied simply playing games and imagining things with siblings and acquaintances (in part this is because puberty came late to me and I grew up in the country with few kids my age around anyway).
In Russia I made some friends who helped me mature, but when I came back after that year I was a bit disillusioned. I had a lot of opportunities to have sex and build relationships in Russia but I rarely capitalized on them out of egotism and being afraid to expose myself. Yet still, it was a rather formative year for my maturing character.
When I returned to the states however, I was weary. My classes were so easy that I didn't even bother showing up half the time (I still got straight 'A's) and everyone around me seemed extremely unaware and beyond boring. More than that, I saw most of them as poisonous. I was gripped by apathy verging on nihilism, though I always put on a positive front -- I just let no one in. There's this Russian phrase that translates roughly in English to: Better to be alone than to be with them who just fall in. I lived by that maxim (and actually, I still do).
That year I found Girls Chase. I was looking for texting strategies, because a girl was playing games with me and I wanted to figure out how to make it so she would stop and just come over already. My interest in social dynamics ramped up this year, and this is when seduction really began to grow in importance for me. I had I think two friends with benefits this year, but I was unwilling to open up to them emotionally so they eventually moved on to greener pastures. I only offered them sex and good conversation, but because I was in the middle of dealing with my dark side, wasn't setting expectations clearly, and because I was not very emotionally available, things didn't last.
When I graduated I still wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do with my life or what I would do in the immediate future either. I was pretty flippant about it, and didn't trust planning very much. I moved back to my parents house for a month then back over by my uni. I had some money saved up so I spent my time studying and planning and thinking and working out. I was building myself up full-time. It was at this time that I started actively doing pick-up. Unfortunately, I spent most of my time just trying to locate girls around town, and most of them that I did find I was not attracted to emotionally (though I did recognize that they were "hot"). My main source of new girls was going to campus and the gym and going for walks, though usually I would encounter no one. Slowly I built up my game and I started getting closer and closer to having girls come home with me after dates. Then it started getting pretty easy to bring them to my house but I'd not make a move. Then I started forcing myself to make moves. Then I got a success! And then the next girl put up her defenses and walked out... but then another success! You get the idea...
I worked on my fundamentals, which were already pretty good to begin with so they only needed some tweaking -- the most significant change was my facial expressions, my style, moving slower, and my voice (which was too high pitched and uncertain sounding before). I went through a stage where I focused pretty heavily on screening, another phase where I actually met some PUAs of another school who I pretended to be a noob with and then pulled the girl who shot him down home right in front of his eyes, because his presumptuous egotism was annoying me.
Somehow in my untoward region I actually was able to build up my fundamentals and get a working process ingrained in me, which I'm pretty proud of.
For the past two years I've worked on myself diligently. I started freelance copywriting, started writing my first novel, working out every day, constantly studying seduction, languages, psychology, philosophy, history, storytelling, etc., and even started my own website focused on reading. I tried starting some other business too but with only minor success.
Periodically in these two years I would visit cities around the US where I would practice seduction, make some business connections, get some reference experiences, and basically learn as much as I can while having some fun. I'd stay in these places for a month or two at a time and then I'd come back to my hometown and dig back down deep into my studies and writing.
My growth at this time is hard to describe, as it's too close for me to tell still. I'm still working to make passive income streams to free me up to live the life of my dreams, I'm still working to become a man that women lust after like no other, and I'm still working at becoming the best damned dramatist of our time... but I've still got a ways to go.
On my game:
I very much take after the maestro Chase Amante in that efficiency is at the core of all my actions, and I don't like explicitly showing interest much either, as I'm very wary to come off as chasing (though, reading through Anatman's LRs, I find some more explicit things that I want to try).
In a Robert Greene sense, the type of seducer I am is a charismatic charmer, with a bit of the natural and dandy thrown in for good measure. Skinny, adorable, and socially astute independent/strong girls have always seemed most drawn to me (maybe because I'm most attracted to them?), while beta and lower rank girls get jealous and bitter around me when I don't give them my attention. It's the same with men. High class men recognize my social calibration and we become close friends, while their followers get bitter at me for jumping rank in their eyes (still trying to figure out how to deal with that, though the preselection by the dominant party is often good enough). In part because of this, almost all of my relationships are one-one-one -- I have no social groups, though I do want to start learning how to navigate them better.
On the future
I plan on going abroad again soon, but I'm going to finish some projects and save up a bit more money first. I've never been to SE Asia, and that's where I'm thinking right now. I want to go experience the culture, have some crazy experiences, and also I think China would be a good place to start a business, as there're low barriers to entry there for a guy like me. Not exactly sure what I'll do, but I'll just have to figure that out when I get there. I'm open to opportunity (and I've got itchy feet). Really though, location for me takes a long second to my missions, and in the back of my mind I know that it would not be terrible if I spent another winter hard at work, locked in my room, working on my writings and figuring out new passive income streams.
Immediate Goals
Here are 2 short term goals I have for seduction:
-Quality GF/romantic relationships with strong "magnetic" pull. We see each other about once a week, and our primary focus is sex and good conversation, though our connection is a very strong lover-lover one.
-At least 1 new girl a month.
How I Plan on Using this Forum
I'm going to start by taking the Newbie Assignment and modifying it for where I'm at, my logistics, and my time constraints. I'll do this in the journal section on here. I don't have much approach anxiety so I'm just going to skip those, and instead I'll just jump straight to approaching, getting numbers, and going for same day lays (I've had two of those so far).
I have a lot of pans in the oven right now, so I might not be the most diligent poster on here, but I'll try and keep this thing up to date.
My Pick-up Schedule
I've become a bit lax with pick-up lately because I've been working pretty hard at other stuff and also because it takes a lot of time usually to find someone around my town, so here's my schedule to work around these barriers.
Tuesday and Thursday I go to the library on campus and do work there. In between projects I go for walks and meet girls around the area. I adhere to goals like get at least 2 new numbers or talk to 3 girls sitting down.
Every other week I am going to drive down to the nearest big city (about 50 minutes away) and stay at friends' places for the weekend, where I will go out on Friday and Saturday nights to bars/clubs/whatever, and do day game for fair size chunks during the day. I'm going for a wide range of experiences, to make some friends, and to bring as many quality girls as I can into my life, and then I'll select a few to be more or less serious with and then focus mainly on relationship and building my other skills. I also have a girl back in this hometown who is chasing super hard right now but who is visiting the Caribbean who I'm considering making a gf, but I'm not too concerned about that right now. It might be a good idea just to stick with one gf at a time for me right now at this stage -- asthat could become a big time vacuum I'm not careful.
Conclusion
I hoped you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!
