I'm turning 21 in August. At age 17 I found the PUA community. I tried it out, but it didn't help me get women. however, the community helped me understand social dynamics, and I learned how to read people better. I'm part of another forum similar to this one which encourages observation analyzing people and disarming obstacles. If you live in Kansas City, I suggest checking out the forum called socialkinetix.com. You'll meet some cool people with the same goal of understanding women and improving your life. Enough advertisement.
I really found this forum by chance. I was growing tired of PUA material. Inner game bullshit. I only learned how to talk to women that already liked me. I did start getting consistently laid after learning the material, but I kind of think my growth was due to sheer persistence, hard work, and looking at what I wanted. So, I downloaded Practical Female Psychology for the Practical Man. I wanted to understand how to get women to start driving to see me so I wouldn't waste gas money if I didn't the get the lay. In the beginning of the book there was a foreword by Paradise, author of 21st Century fox: Space Age Pimping. I didn't know macking/pimping would be the end of my search. I bought Paradise's book and it really didn't help me to develop a mouthpiece to get women to come see me. It just explained the social matrix that I already know about. Truthfully, the book was and is still good reading.
So, I started doing research on pimping to find out how to get women to come see me. It was after I found the Delphiforum for the pimp network that I stumbled upon this forum with a random internet search related to 21st Century Fox: Space Age Pimping. I told myself that would be the last book I read on women.
So, here I am now. I'm starting a company with my mom, and I'm entered the second semester of my sophomore year in college. I picked up poker again to get earn side money to develop my front. Before I stopped playing and blew all my money on weed, cigarettes, liquor, and parties I was a midstakes player. I'm learning about investing on the side too. My focus has been turned into developing a life that allows me to live comfortably, where women drive to come see me and invest their time, energy, and resources into helping me attain a comfortable life.
I know this introduction was long, but I wanted to get my story out. Thanks for reading.
