I like these threads. One of these days I'm going to go through and bump more of these self-developent homages.
For me it was like this:
0-11: Naturally extroverted, exuberant and confident but also a total nerd. Was chasing and kissing girls when I was 7. I'd grab 'em cave-man style and they'd squeal. Or hit me.
11-17: Acne blast. Ended in a prep-school for upper class kids, and man was I out of place. It was diabolical being extroverted and wanting to lead but not having the social skills for that environment. And my acne and haircut was a disaster.
17-20: got my good looks - lost the acne (with pills) braces and started lifting weights. still no social skills. Discovered David D. Didn't make a damn difference in the end, but he did open my eyes.
20-25: went on vacation with a friend who introduced me to Mystery method. Eye-opener. Started doing ok with the girls, but it was pretty random.
Now... eventually experience, maturity and more self-confidence make my nights more "efficient", I'm more fearless than saavy in my interactions, so that needs work. Whether I not I bag a hottie is still pretty random. I also still get trucked and wake at some fat bitch's place. Luckily that hasn't happened in a year, though.
I have prioritized other things in my life - I don't see myself spending time on meeting new girls right now. I want to focus on building a worthy lifestyle. That means saving money, getting in shape, and studying. Girls, night-life is just detrimental to those goals at this point. The sooner I pull through this stage of my life, the better and the stronger I'll be when I come out the other side. In more ways than one.
