Hi.

Well said mate its self improvement with women thrown in. I'm same age and only about a month in and feel what your saying about the ten year thing. This is a really cool site and anything you want to ask the guys here help out pretty pronto. What material you going to start with and have you started approaching yet? I think it will be easier for guys like you who claim to by shy I think will turn out to be the true champions.
You will be hooked when you first say to a women something that your brain is saying NO in slow motion, you do it anyway and her eyes light up, its fucking amazing.
