if I had to do it all again...

1. Watch "Game On" to realize how fucking stupid 90% of the 'community' really is. Walk away from most of the stuff forever.

2. Read the first 2 or 3 chapters of "The Attraction Code" or "How to Become an Alpha Male". Skim the rest if you feel like it.

3. Blueprints, if you want to 'get it' (aka get out). Else skip on ahead.

4. Read some philosophy. Look at some art. Live your life. Go out. Have fun with your friends. Be the loudest, most exciting people at the bar, simply because you want to be. Meet women. Screw up a lot with girls, and score sometimes. Learn that approaching is not so scary, and that you can do it on your own. Deny girls sometimes. Have standards. Understand that ~30% of girls are single, and if you're rejected most of them aren't interested at that exact moment, and it wasn't a judgment of you. Discover that all it took this time was to generate the right mindset from inside, rather than outside.

5. Walk back into the community X months later, and read a bit of the basics. See it for what it is, not for the games that most 'gurus' make it out to be. Take what you want from them, and make them a part of you.

6. Leave your username at the door, and go find someone to be happy with for as long as you see fit.
