Ok so this is kind of a story kind of a "I have ALL the questions!" Post sooooooo here goes.

I got into seduction 2 years ago. Seduction to me has always been 2 camps. The "I want to go to a club/bar and take any girl I want there home" and the " I want to be more social not just with women but men as well". I was in the latter camp and it went good. I've had depression all my life and been a geek. Temporarily got over depression and got a girlfriend.....then everything went to shit. Several close family members died and during this I contracted 2 (thankfully curable) sti's from my now cheating ex. The treatment was painful and embarrassing. I was left just utterly broken. Since then I have tried to commit suicide, lost my job, gained 20 lbs and have started failing school. That was a year ago. Since the. My grades have gone up, and I got a new job. My emotional state is ok for now but I guess I'm kinda still learnin how to smile. Soooooo now that you have backstory here are my questions

  • I have always been very polite with people. Saying "please and "thank you" opening doors for people various things. Is this considered beta or alpha behavior? I very much take pride in my manners but I sometimes feel like they are construed as less manly from girls I'm on a date with.

-where do I go from here? I want to be social again. To be able to make new friends and lovers again.

  • I very much do NOT want to take medication for m depression. Just don't like that its a stop gap when what I need is a cure and just. Doesn't sit well with me.

  • growing up I was always the ljbf's guy with girls and this has caused me to fear becoming another one when I'm on a date with a girl. To combat this i try to drive the conversation sexual but i feel like i either overdue it or intimidate girls. How can I overcome this?

  • finally knowing my background what are some inner game books or posts I can read?

  • just.....Any advice in general?
