I'd just like to tell you my story. I am 26. By the age of 25. I had 2 long term relationships in my life, and had sex with a total of 3 women. While I had solid social skills and a really unique background (speaking 3 languages fluently, immigrating twice in my life), I couldn't apply it to women. I would talk to women, but could not gauge their interest ever. Even if I flirted, I wouldn't know if she was ever flirting back. I was scared of offending women, of showing my interest and them made feel uncomfortable. Making people comfortable was my mantra, and that gave me strong social skills, but unfortunately it was detrimental to how I behaved with women. I went abroad just before turning 26, to work in a place where lots of women went to, lots of women travelling. I quickly made about 5-6 good female friends, and more were always around, but I just didn't understand how to engage women in a sexual way, how to learn if they are interested, how to move things forward. So I decided to learn. I turned to online material. I read at first lots of articles of women's flirting signs, how to flirt with women, what attracts women, how women think, what women like. That showed me quickly that women were generally attracted to me, and that I could attract them by just flirting (teasing, cocky-funny etc.). Then I read about kino and escalation. I also discovered sexual tension, and that making women feel uncomfortable seems to work. Things like intense eye contact, kino, making her essentially say no or let me do it. I also learned to dance there, couple dancing, allowing me to be comfortable with holding and leading women. I learned to be playful in general, to be positive, to seek connection with humans, to show interest, to ask people what they learned, about their dreams and aspirations. I became naturally interesting for others, positive and curious. Suddenly, in about 4-5 months, I went from no experience of hook ups or dating, to 9 hook ups, 5 women in bed, 3 sex, a few dates etc. I learned community jargon, so I guess my inner game improved lots and I started to value myself much more and feel attractive, my environment was highly conductive to meeting lots of women, and then on top of that I learned how to behave with women (kino, escalation, sexual tension, non-validation, leading, being fun and playful). All in all, I never thought I would have such success. I was never proper Beta, because I recognised the weakness in it, but I didn't allow myself to be Alpha. I was stuck between the two. Now I understand that women liked to be led, like to not be certain, like strong confident men. P.S. a website that really helped me is this one: girlschase.com
