Entering my first ever long term relationship after a year of pickup came with a few bumps*. Looking back, most of these could have been avoided if I had stopped caring so much about letting down my game and just been myself. The seduction community has given us some good things to keep in mind in a relationship. Still, it's important to differentiate between acting out of authenticity and acting out of the mindset that seduction is the only reliable approach, and all other routes will lead to failure.

Side note: have any of you told your girls about your involvement in the community? I did. Her initial reaction was a facepalm, which amused me. At the end of the day it wasn't a big deal.
