First let me start off by saying I've really enjoyed reading a lot of the FRs and overall discussion in the Seddit forum, most of you guys clearly have put the hours in to understand the dynamic of what is going on.

As I've begun to understand the jist of what you guys are doing, I've begun to realize just how clueless I am. I have had a good amount of success, two LTRs with HB7s and a hand full of random hookups from HB6-HB8 along the way to my age of 24. Now that I'm out of my most recent LTR I'm looking forward to learning more about social dynamics as well as forcing myself out of my shell (typical AA, 'whhaaaa' bs).

So the kicker here is, I have a good friend who has gone through the process and I certainly admire his abilities with people in general afterwards, let alone with women. The problem I am having though, is that he praises my 'natural ability' which I have no clue what he is talking about. If I push myself I can open, sustain, close or wing most of the time, but I usually don't know what to account the failures to. I in general like the way I treat and interact with women so I don't know if I'd like to change my style so much as grow to better understand it.

TL:DR; Sometimes I feel like a boss, other times an AFC; think I'm on the right track but would like to refine my game more. Would love to meet up in NYC with some Sedditors who know what they are doing and learn a bit so I can analyze my own game.
