CLIFF NOTES AT BOTTOM
Alright, I'm going to make it very simple. I am a 16 year old high school student who is currently in the highest level classes possible, with a 4.0 and is getting letters from colleges left and right.
The last time I had an honest "girlfriend" was in the eighth grade. The only reason that happened was because I played the ridiculous emotional tampon that I did, always being there to offer my condolences for her, that worked once, and after doing that for about another year, I was done. Truth be told, I was on an extremely high dose of antidepressant.
Jockish types would use me for answers, and try to "out alpha" me in the hallways, always trying to pick fights. I felt like I had no REAL friends at the time. The teachers loved me, and I had a group of fairweather friends that I would hang around with, but they would never invite me to functions that weren't school related.
Once I was fed up with this persona of not being truly respected as a human being with high level intelligence, I started to get into bodybuilding as a hobby that I had learned to respect and enjoy years later, which I do. By the time I was a freshman in high school, I had the 2nd highest bench press in the state of Washington for my age group (among high school students that is). Although I had gained some respect from some people for the great gains I had made in bodybuilding, people were still out to get me, always clowning on me for being a "Steroid User" or something similar to that, that it got to the point where I was completely frustrated. During this time, I had a very hard decision to make; Was I going to show my physical male dominance face to face with one of these people? The answer was no, I didn't escalate into a physical fight, because I knew that I would probably win (I had had 4 years of Tae Kwon Do training and received my black belt as well) and didn't want to have a suspension on my school record.
The summer after freshman year went by and I discovered websites like Don Juan and the Mystery Method, which I read in depth and to entirety, and I still continue to study back from day to day. I had originally come to the PUA community to learn how to pick up every girl that I possibly wanted to, but I learned that it was way more than just that. Learning social dynamics would help to make me appear as a man of power, respect, and natural selection, as well as drastically increase my chances to get with women - the ones that I wanted to.
The only problem with my new found image, which consisted of some great clothes that I had picked up from express, armani, banana republic, etc was that people were starting to refer to me as a homosexual. I realized that it wasn't there fault, it was a very hick-oriented area that I live in, and they didn't know better. I noticed that they would start to make rumors about anyone that didn't spit chewing tobacco and dress in carhartt.
The rapport that i started to develop with girls was getting much better, but they still ended up going back to a redneck for their relationship needs. Since I completely hated rednecks for some of the stuff they did to my friends (who were black) I was never going to become one myself to get a girl. I was completely fed up with my school, who had grown ignorant of the extreme advances in my social life that I was making. I had made the decision to transfer to a more city - oriented school district, where the amount of country people was nonexistent.
When I made the transfer, I knew that every single student at the school would have no idea who I was, and that first impressions were a huge part of it. I came to school wearing my pick up artist oriented clothes, and I felt right at home with the rapport that I was building with people. I am getting IOIs left and right now, and there is no way I am going to develop and go down the deadly disease that is one-itis.
I have gotten in with a few groups of friends of people that actually make achievements in high school, and I am veiling my high grade point average and definitely making it for the best. Although some of them do some things that I disagree with morally (drinking, smoking pot) I am definitely a lot happier than i was a while ago. The people that I am really close to don't do any of that, and are definitely having a good time in high school.
The day that I finally woke up was when I realized that it wasn't about getting as many girls as you can, and counting them up as a quantity. The whole PUA community is about improving your life dramatically, for the best. You can use the same skills and concepts to be successful at work, school, and all other aspects that you think of. Having a woman come and join the ride that is your amazing life will actually benefit you in a good way, because you already have everything you need. Once they need to qualify themselves to you - and they actually put in effort to, you are making a huge first leap.
Today was definitely a great awakening.
CLIFF NOTES:
Life sucked, no girlfriends
Tired of being picked on, started working out, got really strong
Perfect Grades, being treated as a tool/emotional tampon
transferred from redneck school to better, more realistic school
Realized that PUA is not about quantity, but about quality of life
developed a real group of friends
