This is a thank you to Roosh and G from an 18 year old, for making me the man I am today.
Wow, I've been registered on this forum since 2009. That seems so long ago. I remember how I first discovered Roosh. It was August of '09, and I was 15 years old, clueless about girls yet desperate for some action. I was about to begin my sophomore year of high school - but one thing set me apart from most of my peers.
I was moving with my family from Alexandria, VA, to Buenos Aires, Argentina. My parents wanted us to experience a year abroad, to expose us to something besides the 'ol USA, to set us apart from most kids our age. Upon learning that Argentina was our destination, I immediately devoured all the information I could find about the country's culture and customs. One thing kept coming up in my research; apparently, Argentina had HOT girls. Obviously, this was quite intriguing to me. I think I googled something like "how to pick up argentine girls", and well, that led me to Roosh's posts on the topic.
Before I go any further, I think I should make something clear. At this point in my life, I had no experience with girls. None. 0. Zip. Zilch. I hadn't so much as kissed a girl (although strangely enough, I had already gotten two girls to send me nude pics via txt. I guess I was good at having faux relationships, maintained solely over text). I was a beta to the t. I wasn't a loser, though. I ran XC, I was on varsity wrestling, and I played lacrosse. I was a well liked kid, with a large share of friends, male and female. Most of my guy friends were just getting their first handsies, and I was oblivious as to why I was being left out of the action.
Roosh's site opened my eyes. I think I must have stayed up until 3 that night, poring over every single post he had ever written. His material just clicked with me. Intuitively, it made sense. For the next two days, I read all of his blog, re-read it, and then re-read it again. Through his blog, I stumbled across the G Manifesto and Roissy, and I soaked up their posts just as quickly.
It was lucky for me, that I learned about all of this when I did. I was leaving for a country where I knew no one. I used this time to completely reinvent myself. While in Argentina, I got my first kiss, I felt my first boob, I got my first blow job, and I lost my V card. I felt like the shit. I was the shit. I had so many firsts down there. My first girlfriend, my first time getting drunk, my first time getting high, my first real fist fight...it goes on. Argentina will always have a special place in my heart. Buenos Aires really gave me a new life, with the help of Roosh and G.
After my year abroad, we moved back up to the US. Although I was pissed at the time, we weren't going to be moving back to Alexandria. Rather, Maine was my new home. Now, I am glad that we moved to Maine instead of back to the DC area. Once again, I had a clean slate. Just like in Argentina, no one knew me. The difference this time is that I was (I really hate to use this term) an "Alpha".
Here in Maine, I'm a senior in high school, a completely different person than who I was as a freshman. I'm a popular kid. I've got a total of four notches on my belt now. I can't even remember how many make outs I've had.
But it's so much more than that. I'm confident. I'm genuinely happy with my life. Moreover, I'm a man. And I owe that all to Roosh and G. Without you guys, I don't know where I would be in life. I don't know who I would be. I shudder even thinking about it. You guys have been role models in my life, like cool older brothers. I really, really, appreciate what you do.
This whole forum has helped shape me into who I am. MikeCF, Kona, el Mech, Aliblahba, GMac, OGNorCal, Kickboxer, Samseau, Kerouac, Tuthmosis, and everyone who I'm forgetting, I want to thank you guys too. Although I don't post often, I check up on the forum a couple of times a month and you guys always dispense some good shit.
If there are any other young guys on here who feel like talking to someone closer in age to them, PM me. I'd love to help you out. One thing I'll say is don't focus on cool lines, flashy routines, or other outward expressions of "game". The real change starts within.
