It started in the spring of 2001. I was 21years old and spent my free time on the computer reading messageboards or playing games. I had no skill with women and the ones Iknew either used me for my brain to tutor them or as an emotionaltampon to feel better about the guys who didnt take their shit. Iremember thinking how stupid the other guys were to treat suchpretty and nice girls so poorly. Didnt they realize those girlswill eventually get angry and stop talking to them?

My friends were unsuccessful with women too,so we all reinforced our lack of skill during all-night games ofRisk or poker. I wanted to get out of that cycle but felt I hadlittle control to make a change. I observed other guys andconcluded that success with women was a skill you were bornwith.

Then there was one girl in my organicchemistry class that I started to like. She was Persian and thesame age as me, with long curly hair and olive skin. We would studytogether in groups and I could have sworn that she was giving meextra attention. I analyzed the situation with my nice guy friendsand we concluded that she did like me as more than afriend.

After a couple weeks of hesitation, Ifinally asked her out on a casual date to the movies. She said shecouldnt because she was very busy. Weeks later, I saw her aroundcampus holding hands with another guy. Instead of listening to lamelove songs like I usually did, for the first time I got angry. Alifetime of frustration and of not getting what I wanted becamefocused on that one girl. I was bitter that I, a nice guy, wasgetting passed over for guys I thought were losers.

So I started to ignore her. If I did end uptalking to her, Id cut our conversations short. When she asked meto study Id lie and say I was studying alone, only to have herstumble upon my study group late at night in the library. I startedfeeling good for treating her poorly. I hated her and everythingshe stood for, which was my failure with women.

But then something interesting happened. Shestarted making a strong effort to gain my attention and favor. Itwas as if the harder I pulled away, the closer she would come tome. That was the first time I understood that changing my behaviorcould affect how girls reacted to me. Soon it became clear thatinteracting with women wasnt very different from the games Iplayed with my nice guy friends, where changing tactics andstrategies yielded different results.

At about the same time, I happened to clickon a random link within a business forum and stumbled ontosomething called Tonys Lay Guide. It was the best accidentof my life. That guide had basic tips on how to approach women, howto talk to them, how to kiss them, and how to have sex with them. Iimmediately printed the entire thing in case the site went offline.To me it reinforced the idea that you can learn how to get better,that you arent doomed to a life of infrequent sex just because youwerent born a natural.

I studied that guide for two months before Iactually did anything. In May 2001, I approached a girl for thefirst time in a line of a club. I talked to her for half an hourand got her number, to the surprise of both me and my friends. Itwas probably beginners luck, but that first success sold me on theidea that studying game was a worthy cause.

Thats usually how it starts for most guysgetting into the game: a random discovery followed by a firstsuccess or initial high when they do something theyve never donebefore.

Your Goal

What is it you want right now? Maybe youwant to lose your virginity, sleep with a certain number of girls,find true love, or get a threesome. Or maybe you have goals thatare more difficult to measure, such as building confidence,becoming more outgoing, or becoming a better speaker. Whatever yourgoal is, its best to express it in a statement that will act asyour guide and motivational force. Think of it as being like acorporations mission statement, that no matter what happens andwhat local creek is being polluted, you can look at it and rememberwhats really important.

A lot of people set a goal, work on ithalf-heartedly for a month or two, realize its difficult toaccomplish, and then switch goals (or quit altogether). Its a goodgoal if you arent sure whether you can reach it or notits a badone if youre 100% sure you can. It should be a goal for which youneed to seek outside knowledge or to acquire new skills. If itsnot hard, like most things in life, its not worth doing.

There are two parts to every goal you setout to achieve: the journey to the goal and theaccomplishment of the goal itself. The journey is when youlearn, innovate, attempt, and put yourself through tough situationsfor the first time. This is where real growth takes place.(Sometimes accomplishing a goal gives you less satisfaction andpleasure than the smaller successes that preceded it.) If you dontquite reach your goal, thats okay too. The journey makes theconcept of failure a gray area because youll be putting yourselfthrough changes that will leave you with more knowledge on how tosucceed than when you first started. You can fail all your life,yet accomplish more than those who never tried.

There have been volumes written on goalsetting that make it more complicated than it needs to be. Keep theprocess easy but effective by structuring your goal in this format:Im going to ___________. Then write that goal on a small pieceof paper or a note card. Put it in your wallet, next to yourcomputer monitor, on your bathroom wall, or any place where youllsee it at least once a week. Visualize your goal to prepare yourmind for the work ahead.

Some productivity experts recommend that youattach a deadline to your goal. For example: Im going to sleepwith a mother and daughter team within six months. I dont advisedoing this because the game is so unpredictable and quirky thattime goals can be discouraging during the inevitable cold streak.As you gain skill, there will be periods where you sleep withmultiple girls in a short amount of time, followed by nothing forseveral weeks. A strong desire that motivates you to act isenough.

Beware

Before you dive in and read this book, Ihave to warn you that the journey can be difficult and oftendisappointing. Is it worth it? Yes, without a doubt. The payoff foryou will be better quality women and more power and confidence toget them, but it wont come without work on your part.

Youll need to interact with a large numberof women in different situations and environments. Its not enoughto just talk to the women you normally come into contact with atwork or school. Like a salesman, you need to make cold calls to getleads in the form of approaches. Youll go to bars and clubs andbookstores to meet women. Youll talk to them everywhere, alwayspracticing and experimenting. Youll follow through with them, callthem on the phone, spend money on dates, and try to bang them.Youll maintain your stable like a sheep herder maintains hisflock. Youll put in your energy, your life blood, into a game thatmay leave you mentally exhausted. Youll deal with rejections,flakes, and temper tantrums that are negative and discouraging.Youll spend time studying the game and taking notes, breaking downyour encounters with women, and youll create material on yourown.

A large component to becoming successfulwith women is time. You wont turn into an player overnight. Thebest analogy I can use to describe the game is bodybuilding. Withina short amount of time, youll see big gains and experienceeuphoric confidence boosts, followed by peaks and valleys whereyoull lose or gain muscle mass depending on how motivated orhealthy you are. Theres no end to bodybuilding, but there is atime when you look at the mirror and say, Im happy with what Isee.
