Hi Duke. I posted some links to my Youtube videos for you (in the post for Chow Mein right above this one) I can repost them. It all starts from the ground up....selection is critical as only one in 3 women (probably less) are LTR material in todays world. Even once I had developed my system it took a few years until it finally produced the woman who is my wife.It would be great if you started a post sharing any pointers you might have. I commend you for 18yrs. Thats impressive.
From there it is about relationship management. This forum is chock full of great stuff for raising interest level and seduction but less so about maintaining high interest in the long run (decades). 10 years ago I wrote a manuscript about my entire process but only recently decided to publish it. The last thing I want to do is try and sell it on this forum...I came here for the community plus in my Youtube videos I am going to start sending guys over here.
What I can do...and only if it is in line with forum rules, is get you a free copy of my book and kindly ask you to give me your opinion of it. My whole story (26 years in the making) about my journey to a successful marriage is there.
Again, a chunk of my stuff came from here (although I originally started in academia...I am also a PhD...but most academic stuff is terrible). I was influenced by Pook and Anti Dump. Their stuff is here if you search. I also was a member of the original MASForum back when the big names were there.
What are your goals? Do you just want to be a PUA, or do you want (eventually) something long term?
Becoming a PUA is, IMO, the first step in long term success.
