i tell everyone, im not assed, but then again... im not here for advice really. i just find i like helpin people out and i can re iterate my own knowledge.

i think when i get a bird, bein here will help me keep hold of my self.

I retract my statement/assumption for now, I told a girl i'm sleeping with earlier today about my pua usage to test my theory. She found it interesting and wanted to know more. She is only one example though and a very open minded girl. But who knows, maybe i'm completely wrong about the whole thing...

Though one thing I've become better at is being honest about my thoughts/intentions, sure I have some 'secrets' I keep from people like this forum and my steroid usage as examples but everyone has their skeletons... when it comes to how I feel and think I've learnt to feel comfortable being nearly 100% honest (other than too my boss at work) and ironically, people respect me more for my blatent indifference to others approval/reaction.

To be honest with regards to why im here....I've got to the point where I dont know anymore.... I have no issues with attracting women, and perhaps what I'm seeking is beyond the scope of this (or any) forum anymore. A lot of the questions I want answers too, I need to figure out myself now through experience trial and error.

For example my title for this thread is asking about general self development, and in another recent thread I wanted tips on how to bang every girl at my new job and I've now already fucked 2.... I see daily posts on how some guys are worried about how to start a conversation with a girl he hasn't worked out the balls to just approach for 4 weeks or something crazy like that. Oh and i'm not criticizing I was their once too. Mind the only advice those guys should be getting is to stop spending so much time with their heads burried in pua books and pua forums for that matter and get out their and socialise.

Interesting topic this has moved onto.

It's good to see people being so honest about their use of this forum, but I must admit I am not there yet.

I just do not feel right about telling people I go onto a 'picking up girls' forum. I love this forum. We all know it is far superior to most PUA forums out there and is far beyond just getting fuck closes with HBs!

However, the PUA connotation is still there and the people I have told who are very close friends just think it's lame/weird as they associate it with 'The Game'. They do not understand that this place is different to that.

There is no way I would be comfortable telling girls or work colleagues or whatever as I think they would also view it as a bit odd and it would not do me any favours at all!!

Saying that, this could and I hope will change with time. I am very honest with people about other stuff I have done that many consider worse than PUA; such as hooker use, various drug use and sticking sex objects up my arse. I have never met anyone who thinks worse of me for this stuff as I don't care what they think and this shines through and just makes me more of a character. Hopefully soon I will be the same about this.

I think it's down to the way you tell people, such as a woman that they look fat.

When told in a tactile fashion "I preferred the skirt" etc and in an honest way then people don't have a problem. If you say, "yeah I study PU so I can bang lotsa chicks" you sound like a complete nob.

However I tell/have told most of the girls I've been with and all of the girls I'm currently seeing and they think it's actually kind of cool, especially when you can explain social dynamics etc.

Obviously i dont go into graphic detail but the way i see it if I cant be happy about who I am and what I do, ultimately having to hide that is going to make my unhappy and make mee uptight trying to stay on my toes.

haha all at the same time

Waiting for my Birthday.......

x2, but don't worry your not alone I too have 'dabbled' in all of the acts mentioned above haha.

Yeah I massively agree, this is something I forgot to mention. Suppose it follows the quote 'it's not what you say, it's how you say it' which in my opinion is true to life. My best friend is awesome at this he has a background in sales/marketing and he can literally convince you anything because he has a profoundness in his speech and confidence in what he says and how he delivers it. A super skill to have in my opinion, can really help you through life if you perfect it.
