I've been giving it alot of thought recently . Have i changed since i was thrust into the world of Pu/Sa . It's easy to let change go unnoticed as it happens but if you were to take a snapshot of now and then ... What's different ?

If im honest i can say i hardly recognise myself anymore . I've grown to love the person i've become and have alot more respect for myself . I find myself doing things and saying things that still amaze me and make me smile . In a way you could say that Pu/Sa gave me the life i wanted and saved me from myself .

So i ask you guys , have you changed ? I dont want to hear about the journey as we are all very aware of that . I want to hear about how you were and what has changed about your now , before and after .

I'm definately changing....

I'm still unscrambling LOADS of bullshit from my past, and trying to live in a way as AUTHENTIC as possible: i.e be me! be what I want and what I enjoy...

I'm still discovering myself...It's like, when European guys go to Tibet and spend time with the monks, you've heard the expression, "to find myself".

You've heard of the motto "work hard play hard"?

I definitely DO NOT agree with that....my lifes mission is "Live Hard!"...live life to the full and do things YOU enjoy. Switch the internet and TV off, go out and live!!

As far as PU is concerned, it's like my own little Tibet Journey....although I'm definitely up for travel soon..although I'm doing some fun little projects in Manchester at the moment (some of you will know what I mean )

I think so yes. Just yesterday I was in conversation with this stush bitch ( apprarent attitude problem she had!). Without giving it conscious thought, I was negging this bitch and brought here down off her high horse. By the end of the interaction, she was trying to get my attention - apparently bemused as to why I wasn't on my knees desperate for her to like me like all those other AFCs.

Yes she was good looking, and looking back I should have number closed her... BUT, my point is that I maintained slef respect during this interraction, which may be something I wouldn't have done 6 months ago.

The Change Is Good

The transition for me happened before I knew about PU - I stopped caring (for the most part), and started opening interactions throughout life. I wanted to be the kind of person who could talk to anyone. Maybe this will later become the kind of person who can ‘seduce anyone’ – who knows, I’ll see where this takes me, and where I want to take it.

Since PU, I am structuring my progress, and probably am a bit more consistently confident socially - especially with new groups. I feel that I know more about social dynamics, and how to play them – a good thing.

I think I will change more, for the better. The fact that I can now go out on my own and meet anyone (friend or sexual partner) is liberating, mind-blowing even.

In some ways, the PU has been bad at times – less relaxed, maybe a bit insatiable, more stress with women juggling, potentially emotionally vacuous interactions. But much of this stuff can be fixed – PU has for the most part been good for me.

I am really not a fan of this – sounds very misogynistic, horrible to read.

Anthony, on reading it, I can see where you've made that conclusion about my post. However, as Kowalski pointed out it does look worse in the text. If I were to say the same in person I'm sure you would see I'm in fact not misoginistic

I think everyone changes, from the moment they pick-up 'the game' or whatever book they read, the moment they searched "how to pick up women" in Google or whatever, or the moment they got a negative result from a woman and said "thats it ive had it with not getting blah blah".

Its that whole "PUA character profile" I think some guys need to learn to turn on and off. It's like really anal police officers that forget they're actually a person and should be able to relate to what the public are actually going through, don't even get me started on Politicians.

But yeh, I certainly have, I became a little bit more cocky, a LOT more confident, but its knowing when to 'can it' and be a person not the arrogant "I can have pretty much any girl I want" which recently I observed coming from the attitude of a good friend, turned PUA, turned asshole... who I wish I never lent my copy of 'the game' to...

But yeh, I guess it changs some people in different ways, pretty much like alcohol :P
