I'm writing this from a throwaway, hoping that I'm not the only person that has felt like this, or is feeling like this.

I'm in my mid-30's, and for years I was what you could easily call an AFC. My girlfriends were few and far between, and usually the result of a girl pursuing me, rather than the other way around.

A couple years ago, I FINALLY found PUA/seduction resources, and they made an immediate benefit. I still have a lot of work to do, and am not exactly killing it, but I have improved tremendously and owe this community a great deal of thanks.

I wish I had found this stuff in my 20's, though, because I find myself today often short on energy, from work, and simply from getting older. I live in a major East Coast city, and there are PLENTY of opportunities here. But, I guess you could say I'm a natural introvert, who has learned to be an extrovert. I do well with friends, but find making multiple approaches thrilling, but draining.

I am in shape -- I play a sport, and work out regularly. My job is very demanding, but offers short windows of time, where it's not so bad, and I don't feel as stressed.

To sum it up, I'd like to know if anyone here is in a similar situation, or has been, and found a way to work around it. I'd love to have the energy to go out more, but I find myself often very tired, and too drained to clean up and go out.

Thanks and I appreciate it!

tl;dr mid 30s, new to seduction, slightly introverted who learned to extrovert, often worn out from work, looking for advice on generating the energy to continue advancing my seduction skills.
