I decided it's time for a little self-examination, so I wanted to come back to the place where this all started. I joined this site in early high school many years ago, back in the days of Pook and the DJ bible getting put together and all that. I really was a huge computer nerd (still am), but in high school I was exceptionally skinny and had no clue what to do with girls. It wasn't until after I graduated high school that I had my first kiss and then lost my virginity in college. Fueled by everything I'd learned here, body language books, marketing books, you name it - I quickly began to make up for lost time, and things really started to get out of control.
I began picking up girls all the time, which coincided with me making the single best decision of my entire life - joining the cheerleading team in college. What followed was absurd.. I began to really bulk up and put on muscle thanks to intense workouts and lifting girls all the time, while at the same time becoming extremely popular for it, traveling the country all the time on chartered flights, being on ESPN, etc. This was a gold mine of good looking girls.. in high school I only dreamed of hooking up with a cheerleader, and now it was happening all the time. And let me tell you.. college cheerleading camp: 100 guys, 700 hot college cheerleader and dance team girls.. you do the math. This also led to my #1 pickup move of all time, bringing up cheerleading.
I am ashamed to say how many times I've walked up to a random group of girls, sizing them up for a small cute one, and opened with "wait, are YOU the one that was the cheerleader??" Like 95% of the time at least somebody in the group was a cheerleader at some point in their life (if not that girl), I make up some BS about "the guy over there said it", and it's game on. The girls are immediately disarmed because how many male cheerleaders do you meet..and how threatening would one seem? I proceed to literally pick up the small girls over my head, her friends take pics, I get a # or bring her home. This works ALL THE TIME. Through some stroke of luck, cheerleading also hooked me up with spots in movies, commercials, and even reality TV (which sucks, don't make that mistake).
Since I graduated college, I've been constantly trying to better myself with my own personal list of things that I will enjoy that have the benefit of being things that girls seem to fall for:
Playing guitar, piano
Learning to sing (still suck at this)
Photography
Cooking
Massages
Making drinks
Working out
Charity work
Making a lot of money
Fancy sports car (this seems to pick up more dudes than girls.. oops)
Learning about food and wine?
Learning about style/how to dress
(That's just off the top of my head, please feel free to make suggestions, I could always use more)
I figure if you come up with a list like this and achieve even half of them, you're pretty unstoppable with meeting who you want to meet. I did end up starting my own Internet company and it's doing extremely well, which has opened up a lot of doors to me, but it is nowhere near the influx of hot trophy girls I was expecting.. other than a really nice apt and getting to travel, it really hasn't seemed to help me with girls like I expected. One of my favorite benefits thus far was going to a party at the Playboy mansion, which was really insane. But to give you an idea of how things are not dependent on that kinda thing - I met a Playboy model at a bar last winter, completely unrelated - I was dressed in a $6 Santa Claus outfit and still managed to pick her up and ended up dating her for 2 months. She turned out to be crazy and ended up calling me gay on Dr. Phil later on (a real what has my life come to moment for me haha). Currently I'm lightly dating an NFL cheerleader, but nothing serious.
Now, BEFORE any of this - while I was still in college and only had cheerleading going for me - I started trying to use logic and reason to land myself a 3some. I am by no means some master of picking girls up, to this day I'd still be really scared to try to pick up an attractive girl on the street or in the store. Secretly I am still this nerdy guy, decent looking but not great looking, that has hid behind this facade of becoming one of the more popular guys on campus while secretly having everything planned out in my head.. but making it look effortless. I think I mastered coming off as disarming while simultaneously pushing the limits with girls. The real secret was not worrying about what people thought of me, and I actually got a pretty bad reputation as a player, but I would ALWAYS downplay it - then jokingly invite a girl back, gauge her reaction, etc.
I started to keep track of what girls made questionable comments about wanting to hook up with another girl and would pursue it - inviting 2 girls over to play drinking games. I failed over, and over, and over.. I invented games involving whipped cream, drinking, and stripping, and it seemed like each time I would get a little closer but I would find a new place in my plan where I went wrong. I'd get the girls both naked, licking whipped cream off each others' boobs, but 1 would always be into it and 1 would freak out. I certainly got lucky several times, and a couple times was just completely unexpected and unplanned, but finally something changed and they started happening all the time.
I don't have a clue what it was specifically, whether I was just being more direct about it than usual, or just getting more shameless about trying to hook up with 2 girls at once, but for whatever reason it started happening a lot. The most surprising thing is what happens when you already have 2 willing girls and you're looking for a 3rd - "straight" girls come out of everywhere and basically say damn you 3 are insane.. ok, I want in to try this. That actually scares me, cause I'm a really good judge of character, and some of the nicest girls like you would take home to your parents have gotten involved, which kinda freaks me out for when I think I'm dating a "nice" girl too. In any case, I had another 4some last weekend, and I'm shooting for a completely absurd 4 girl 5some in the next couple weeks.
Now.. I have never been THIS out of control before, and what sparked all this was the first girl I actually fell in love with. We dated for 1.5 years, I was an amazing boyfriend like any man should be, but I met her way too young - she was 18 and just starting college and I was 22 and the relationship was too serious for her. She's the only girl that's ever broken up with me, and I was really heartbroken for a long time. She wasn't anyone famous, she wasn't a model, she was just a really cute girl that I really connected with that definitely had her own flaws.. I just could never rationalize why I've been so into her. Being very familiar with this site, I knew that I had a bad case of ONEITIS, and the best way to get over it is meet other girls, pour yourself into work, take up hobbies, travel.. I did everything, and lots of it.
However, I felt lost when none of it was working, so I kept pushing the boundaries with picking up girls, making myself busy, and now a year and a half later I'm STILL not over her. I refused to talk to her for 7 months, and we have just recently started talking and she is coming to visit me for the first time next week, and I'm actually scared. I would still clear my schedule for this girl and do all the things I should know better not to do, I don't know why I haven't been able to beat this.. I'm still really hoping that we actually get back together. Really dumb, I know.
Finally, some thoughts -- I feel like being too successful with women has made me somewhat unhappy with actually finding a girl I like. I have seen so many horrible things, girls cheating on their bfs ALL the time, a girl hooking up with 2 guys and going straight to her bf's place afterwards.. and the bfs never find out, they just go on thinking they're dating the sweetest girl and keep taking them on dates. When I am actually with a girl I like, I can't help but think of how easy it is for me to hook up, and I assume that all girls must have this weak spot that all guys like me could take advantage of.
I really think the happiest are the ignorant guys, who aren't very successful, think that all girls are super hard to get, then when they're in a relationship and their gf is sleeping over somewhere, they don't even worry about it - cause who could possibly succeed in picking her up, right? I've clearly given myself trust issues from all of this, I've seen into way too many girls' secret lives. The other problem.. short of that one girl I can't get over, I've put MYSELF on a pedestal way too much, and I don't like feeling like that. When I meet girls now, I think no girl is good enough and I continue my search for the non-existent perfect girl. My friends think I lead the craziest life and I am super lucky, but having been on both sides, I can clearly say that being in a great relationship with a girl I loved was better than anything I'm doing.
