Thanks for the replies. So is picking up girls at clubs out of the question at this age or does it still work?

Is it too late to learn PUA?

No More Mr Nice Guy - Robert Glover - A great book that explains how to get over the Nice Guy Syndrome. How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie - Despite what I thought about the book from it's title, it's actually quite an honest and open explanation of how to do thinks like...

Thanks for the replies. I'm petty sure I have been conquering my fears for years. It's just taking so long. It might be that I had a longer way to go than most. I mean, my dad's idea of making kids behave was basically to put the fear of God in them and shelter them from the world. Now, I'm...

Anyone care to share how they overcame a big fear in life? No matter how much I do it, I'm still afraid to talk to people I don't know in public. Working in an a male dominated field, and not having too many friends, this has left me single for quite a while. I have trouble finding...

So I was sitting in a Starbucks having a cup of coffee and reading this book when this really hot Asain chick walks in. All I could think was, "Damn, I wish I had the balls to talk to her." She ordered her drink and then went to sit outside. Then, some guy from across the cafe who was reading...

I know it's too late for this one. The time has gone. However, I still need to get an idea as far as openers go. I just never know what to say. I'm usually a quiet guy, so I normally don't say much anyways. Anyways, let's say you're watching the fireworks that are at the park down the...

Wow. Thanks for the awesome reply.

Yes, but how? I have no idea how or where to do this. People seem to like to keep to themselves and not be bothered by anyone. Meeting new people is difficult and seems to me that most people would rather not bother with that.

I'm going to be 26 in two months, and I already have serious regrets about my life. I regret not doing many of things I want to do. I wasted my time hanging around lazy, AFC, ultra-negative friends and tried to convince them that we should be out DOING things instead of wasting our lives. I...

So, I went back to this bar downtown again this weekend. This time, I went much later. It was pretty crowded when I walked in. The only seats left were at the end of the bar. I took a seat and I looked over to see this really cute chick sitting nearby. I ordered my drink and and I looked...

I have been very shy and quiet all of my life. Unfortunately, being shy and quiet doesn't allow me to stand up for myself and get what I want out of life. I've tried for a long time to get over this. I've decided that my shyness is just me succumbing to my fears and never conquering them. I...

I was married for a short time. I was totally stupid. Objectively speaking, she was not a good person. It was hell on Earth. Would I do it again? Yes, but she had better be damned special.
