Greetings fellow geeks & scholars, ladies men & pervs, i thought i'd write a good long intro as my first post on here, i want people to get a good idea of who i am since I aim to be frequenting this place regularly to document and discuss progress. and also why pass up an opportunity to write an essay about ones self? (narcissistic tendencies)

i have lurked in forums of all kinds (poker, fitness, drugs...) for years but never actually signed up to one, this is the first. the reason for my registration, is that i genuinely want to interact with others going on the same journey as I, and pick at more experienced pua's brains! working together will increase the rate at which we can grasp concepts, come to conclusions and come up with new material, the same reasons as everyone i guess...

so, a brief summary of my life in chronological order:

-lived is spain from the ages of 9 to 15, learnt to speak fluently in spanish & catalan and also developed a love for playing musical instruments.

-went to music college, had a couple of girlfriends, got high alot

-finished college, worked shit jobs for a year, got jealous of friends in uni and decided to become a pro poker player.

-became a massive nerd, pro poker player for 4 years, no sex for 5 years

-moved to lincoln to start a band with my brother, spent 2 years there gigging, improving my fashion, hygiene, and physique. slept with 6 lovely ladies and got a girlfriend.

and that pretty much brings us upto date. i broke up with said girlfriend back at the start of january due to a series of nasty events... over the time we were together i started smoking weed alot (cos she did) and let myself slip on an aggressive downward spiral where i stopped going to the gym, talking to people and going out, playing in my band. the girl was a HB9 but there was nothing upstairs, she drove me nuts, by the end of the relationship i was a shell of my former self, weak, pathetic, and i only have myself to blame for allowing myself to sink to such depths...

anyway drama aside, i got a job travelling around the country which means i've been fairly isolated since january, and have had plenty of time to read books and workout, plan for the future etc. and now i feel comfortable with myself, i've decided to take on the ways of a pick up artist to take myself to new heights
when i was passionate about music, i always became the most able musician in any given group (time + effort + practice). when i started playing poker, i consciously made the decision to focus that same energy on the new skill, and became the best player in any study group i joined. and now i feel its time to do the same again, and focus that same energy on mastering social dynamics, pick up artistry, and ultimately, getting more women

ps. i'm less articulate in real life. init
