AFC learns picking up. Uses his new found powers to socialize a bit. Get a few girls or may be just one girl and give up game intentionally or unintentionally and then lose all game and revert back to being a socially awkward weirdo. Seen many cases of this peculiar phenomenon. Reverting to beta stage is far more taxing than when you did not taste the forbidden fruit. Haven't found a comprehensive guide to avoid or overcome this situation. All help, suggestions, links are welcome. Please pool and share all knowledge on the subject.
