I've read a bit of this sort of material, a few years ago. tried it out for about 6 months, and could never really get it to work for me. but I gotta say, if I'd never stumbled across the seduction community that day my life wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as it is now. it got me out of my comfort zone, I learned shitloads of social tidbits, I was inspired to quit smoking, start exercising and travel. after traveling for about 15 months, I was no better at the game, but I was a whole different person. I think that's the main thing I like about the seduction community, they'll try to teach you how to pick up women, but they'll also encourage and inspire you to be more than you are today. do something with your life, to become genuinely interesting. a lot of the replies in this thread are made from a standpoint of ignorance, and I can see the reasoning behind it. but it's more innocent than it sounds; it's just guys trying to become better with women and better themselves. anyway, I'd be interested to hear about some of your experiences and which style you use, Hyphy.
