I'd been cold approaching for a year in cafeterias and nightclubs. I'd just found the pickup community a little less than two weeks before, when I discovered Swinggcat and Real World Seduction.
At that point, nightclubs were still a loud, scary, hostile environment, and every time I went to one it was because I forced myself to. Women were still frustrating, fickle beings, and other guys still seemed to have something I didn't. I thought being fashionable meant wearing a black suit with a brown hat and a lot of gold jewelry. I'd never heard of theApproach or Sebastian Drake or Vin DiCarlo, nor had I ever considered paying other men money to teach me how to meet girls. I'd never taken a real trip abroad. I'd never had a long term relationship, and all I really wanted was to get my skill with women solid enough that I could go win back the one I'd lost years before.
There was so much mystery and intrigue and excitement and trepidation tied to pickup, this site, and all of it for me. It felt like a whole new world, this undiscovered country, full of limitless potential, but also dark shadows in every corner.
Six months after first logging on here, I was looking at myself with frustration, thinking that I still hadn't made any progress. But I had, I just hadn't seen it yet.
Now, four years later, I can go out and meet women with ease. If I push a little harder, I'm almost guaranteed to take a girl I like home more often than not. I can meet them in nightclubs, on the street, in the mall, and I expect them to respond very well to me -- and they almost always do. I understand social dynamics at a level I never would've believed possible, and I can read people in ways that I thought only psychics could before. I'm a few months out of the most rewarding relationship of my life, with a woman far more amazing than the one I got into learning how to meet women to get, and I'm comfortable in the certainty that there are many more to come, all equally as wonderful. I'm one miscarriage away from being a father, and my life is stocked with beautiful, amazing women who all think I'm one of the most unique, amazing men they've ever met.
Four years... sounds like a long time, doesn't it? Really though, in all honesty, it only feels like yesterday. It only feels like I just logged on.
Wonder what another four years will bring.
Four years ago today I logged onto this site for the first time.
