Were you treated differently after reading and putting the DJ Bible to use?

I stole this thread from bodybuilding.com but changed it up a bit for this forum. Well? What was your life like before the DJ Bible/So Suave and how is it now? How did people treat you before, and how do people treat you now?

Great thread topic!

I've noticed a lot of girls I am friends with say that I've changed for the better. After finding this forum, along with reading a little bit of self-help material, I've become a positive goal oriented person. Every minute of my day outside of work is spent having fun with people (friends, or people I have just met) and striving for success and self improvement (through working out, setting personal goals for myself, and working on achieving them).

I have learned to take on the leadership role of my group of friends, became WAY more decisive (ex: I cut out from my vocabulary saying things like "I don't know" and "I don't care").. I have an "Anything is possible if you can dream it" mentality now.

Before I found this site, I was a very depressed self-loathing person. I had extreme anxiety (I hated running into co-workers or people from highschool and the "awkward eye contact". So I would avoid places like the supermarket, movie theater, all of that stuff.) Whenever I thought of something I would want to do with my life I would think "Well that's so much money it's not even worth it.. Or that's so much work. Fvck it." I would often let people I thought were my friends walk all over me and treat me like sh!t because I just thought I deserved it.. But now, I have kicked those people out of my life and still have my great group of best friends that are always there for me as I am for them.

Now, I am a completely changed person for the better. I have been doing excellent with my college work, have had a lot of success with women (From joining this board a few months ago, I have hooked up with DOUBLE the amount of women I did since I was 16. I'm 22 now.) I joined a gym a few months ago and work out 6 days out of the week, and I am still playing music with a few different bands almost every weekend. Life is good

You should be able to answer your own question without getting people's validation if you've been here for a year, no?

I'd say around this time last year, my life was at the apex of its downward spiral. I kept up with school work but that was about it. I didn't take care the physical, mental, or the social aspects of my life and it showed. Really just decided one day that this wouldn't work so I started to change my life. Around that time I found sosuave and started reading what it had to offer.

I began working out, and over the last year I've been going steady five days a week and only miss due to sickness. I also got contacts, changed my hairstyle, and updated my wardrobe to the point where I have clothes that fit my body type and look good on me. I also suffered from acne, and at this point it has been taken care of. That was probably the most difficult thing to deal with in the last year because it not only affected my physical well-being but my mental health and confidence in social situations as well.

I also just tried to get out and enjoy life more. I don't play as many video games anymore and my sleep schedule (gym really helped with this) is actually pretty normal now, getting up 5am for the gym every morning and in bed by 10pm. I'm in a constant state of improvement. I feel like I learn something new every day, whether its a new exercise at the gym or learning how to hold a conversation. I know that at any point I could get with a girl if I really felt the need to, but I am pretty happy at the pace I am going now and just letting things happen naturally.

This forum really helped me realize that I had to live my life and improve because I wanted to, not to try and impress 'a girl'. I am really happy with myself now and confident that my improvements have helped me become a better person. Yes, there are some things I just would never change (for example my height: 5' 8'') but now at least I dress well, I'm not as socially awkward (still working on that one), I'm in great shape, enjoying life, and never felt better about myself.

To answer your question (didn't expect it to take this long..) I get a lot more attention from the ladies, and a certain response among men I just didn't get before (they apologizing to ME instead of the other way around when they feel like they've crossed the line in some way). I figure it boils down to the fact that since I respect myself, so do other people. Now to just channel that respect towards getting some!

Well before I joined this forum I was overweight (285 lbs at 6'3") and believed what a girl said was what they meant. I spent about 7 months reading advice along with losing over 70 pounds (I'm around 211 lbs now) over the course of the same period but never really tried to put the advice I read into use.

Upon a recommendation by this board in a thread I picked up these books:

- 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
- The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene

I read through these books as I began to fix myself a workout schedule where I work out twice a day 3 times a week (Half hour before work and an hour after I work; usually Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) I also eat 4 small meals everyday (When I wake up, 4 hours later, 5 hours after that and 2 hours before I go to bed) and lastly I groom myself every other day to keep the same look. I have noticed that women do look my direction now vs. back when I was overweight barely noticed me or always laughed to an extent about my looks.

I personally like the change.
