First Post

Hi,

This is a blog about my journey from AFC to PUA. However, being gay, my goal is not to pick up women but rather pick up men. How did I get started on this little adventure? It all began when I was at the airport (I travel tons) and heard an interview about a new book called "The Game", by Neil Strauss. The focus of the book is Neil's entry into the world of the Pickup Artist. I found lots of sites about becoming a PUA, but none about becoming a gay PUA. So I figured I would attempt to learn about the generic PUA techniques, and adapt them to the gay world.

I prefer to remain anonymous, and perhaps someday I might erase this altogether, but for the moment I will at least try to chronicle my attemps from AFC to PUA.

First, a little about myself. I am a short, moderately overweight male in my late 30's. I did not have a real relationship until I was in my late twenties, and that lasted several years. Generally, I've been shy around both guys and girls (when I was supposedly dating girls), and I have encountered the LJBF more times than I can count. I definitely suffer from one-itis, in that I tend to always focus my energies on one person. The only reason that I was able to build any nework of friends at all was via the internet, but that gets old after awhile. Some people describe me as cute, although I've never thought that. I have a lot of things to offer, and in many ways I find myself fascinating. But I never seem able to convey that to other guys.

My goal here is really to learn how to become a PUA and stop being an AFC. For those that want more references to what I'm talking about, please refer to www.fastseduction.com.

With all that said and done, I'll start with my first real post of an experience...
