At 17, you're still a kid. Going out and being a professional winner and social dynamo and picking up girls from public venues every weekend isn't kid stuff. Your job at 17 should be acing school and getting into an awesome university.

At your age, you should start lifting weights if you don't already. Get in shape, and keep up the habit. The body will serve you well, the strength will make all kinds of other things you get into easier, and the discipline will take you far.

Join a sports team at your school. Get good at something physical besides weightlifting. Get to know other guys and make friends.

Along those lines, also find other stuff outside of school that you're into, whether you're good at art, you like to run, you can play a musical instrument. Do interesting shit. If you have the choice, choose to live a little and do something interesting instead of sitting on your ass at your computer or in front of your television. Staying home is for chumps.

Get a part time job. You're almost a grown up. Sleeping in on Saturdays then waking up mid-morning to watch cartoons is for losers.

When you go to university, keep this shit up. You can be the interesting guy who works, aces school, plays a sport, is into a cool hobby, and works out every day instead of the boring guy.

The topics talked about here are not necessarily exclusive to 20+ year olds. It’s just that it takes different forms at your younger age.

For example, the “rich guy at the club” could be the guy in your grade that has daddy’s really nice car. It’s important to understand the concept behinds things, like anything in life.

Back to your life, I would suggest the following...

Get a job. Even if it’s flipping burgers at McDonalds. The goal is to teach you what hard work is and work ethic. Ever since I joined the military, doing anything isn’t really a challenge anymore if you put your mind into it.
Lift. Look up videos on YouTube about proper form and techniques. Seek guidance from the local absolute unit or a trainer at the gym.
Build a social circle. Join clubs or hobby groups that you enjoy, preferably those that can foster positive TRP ish traits
Find your hobby. Whether its Martial Arts or Cooking or Making Music, find something that makes you tick and get good at it.

Everything mentioned above is great.

I would add observing social dynamics in action. 17 and in high school is the prime time to start understanding AF/BB all around you. Watch how girls act with guys they're into and guys that they aren't. Watch what those guys do.
