I am 22 and a virgin. I have many long term goals, but I have just decided to simplify everything and make my one and only goal (for right now) to GET LAID! I know a lot of you will think this is shallow.... blah blah blah. I respect your opinion but please don't post something about how I should be thinking about other things, or getting in touch with my inner child; it will fall upon deaf ears. This is something I have to do. Also, I know I can go to a hooker... but it is illegal, and I don't want to risk getting caught. I would also like my first time to be with a decent looking girl and not someone with a slew of stds. Now, i've decided to follow, atleast somewhat, steve's action outline scheme (using goals and projects). I have my goal: to get laid. But, I need help with choosing the most effective "projects" Here is a list of some problems I have in no particular order: Can't drive / no license/ no car no job have social phobia about 20-30lbs overweight no friends or social life of any kind except family Now, here are the projects I have selected in order of priority: Get over social phobia Get job Learn to drive/Get license Lose 5 inches on waste (35inch)/ get down to 15% body fat Improve appearance (i dont know how to make this one measurable) Become more independent (same with this one) Do you think these are the best projects? How can I make the last two measurable, or do you think I should even bother making them measurable? |

Hi HipHipHooray Is it that you only just want to get laid or do you want a relationship? Because i think if your thinking that you just want to get laid there is nothing wrong with seeing a pro and they are likely to have std's check ups more than any other folk... dependiing if she is classy or work on the streets. But honesty i would focus on your social life etc. then the event will come up. Also for some reason I would of made your list a with your improve appearance/self confidence, weight at the top because if you meet someone now you will be still worried about it. However I'm not you and you are just doing/listing things in the way you see fit for yourself. I had a old friend who still a virgin at 31 years old. He wasn't waiting for the right one etc. he was also very good chatting to females but never quite made it to the bedroom dept. Anyways this guy is now married with 2 kids |

I also might suggest focusing on a relationship, but if you don't want to hear that you, you don't want to hear it. Quote:

I agree with Shamou, you can achieve your goal faster by a change in mentality. Approach it this way: if you had already gotten laid, what would be different? Among other things, you probably would realize that it is not that difficult to take a woman to bed. You would recognize the myriad opportunities when you saw them. That's not to say that your projects will not help you, but approach them with a different mentality. You are not taking them on in order to get laid. You are doing them BECAUSE you have sex regularly already. It's part of who you are.

From one of my favorite plays, The Producers, "If you've got it, flaunt it." What Shamou said about abundance is absolutely right. Figure out your assets, get buzzed, and go for it. As a pretty woman, I could care less about wealth or muscles. What is hot is a guy who takes care of himself and has confidence in his talents.

There is no such thing as "poor social skills". There is only "not practicing your social skills".

ummm... wow. If you want to get laid, and only laid, I have a quick fix. You can get laid in a few days, guaranteed. 1) Go buy some nice/hip clothes, put them on. (avoid Dockers type brands, look for Deisel etc.) 2) Go buy some nice beer(makes you feel all classy), drink it. 3) You're old enough, so go to the bar, stand tall and do the following. Introduce your self by smiling and saying, "Hi! My name is ________," while sticking out your hand for a handshake. She will usually say "hi" and shake your hand. Proceed to ask, "How about a f***?" If she says yes, then figure out where and how the two of you will go about your business, take a taxi as both of you are probably tanked. If she says no, move on to the next girl/girls. If you get no "yes" answers move to the next bar/club and continue. 4) keep drinking. **note2, this only works in bars and clubs, where absolutely idiotic behaviour is permitted** **note3, you might not want to sleep with the girls who say "yes!"** This actually works and has been tested, about 1 in 25 will say yes or play along. Now go get F***ED in every sense of the word. That is what you want right? Personally, I think you should work on getting your life together. Go get a career, learn how to make normal friends who go out. Own your life for once. But, break out of your shell gradually.

If you were offered a girl with the same life traits as the ones you listed, would you want to have sex with her? (dont answer that)... You need to work on yourself... Lose the weight... clean up your appearance... learn to drive... start developing yourself... Keep putting yourself in social situations... As you start to move forward with your "projects", you will see the change in how people act towards you. I can understand why you would want the goal that you do... to achieve it, i would advocate working on yourself. Phil x |

I personally think that having too much confidence is a negative trait, because its kind of showing the oposite... what NotesMaeve says is the tip of a rather profound thing, i think, taking care of onelsef is not just dressing well or eating well or reading good things, its a more internal thing, an attitude, its actually beign healthy from the inside out, and when this comes naturally its very attractive not just to women. To do this naturally you have to get rid and fix you inner issues, use EFT and TAT because they are fast and effective, also work to be more understanding, try Fast Seduction 101: Art of Pick-up and Seduction there is a guide there, and thats it, good luck.

As far as improving your appearance goes, aside from fitness and weight loss, you could focus on personal grooming. You could make it measurable that you shower every day, always wear fresh clean clothes, shave, a dab of cologne, floss/brush/mouthwash etc. Women are more likely to jump into bed with a guy who's well groomed.

You openly admit you see no point in being with a woman. That's a turn off to women. Most women can sense your level of ambivalence. Word to the wise. Quote:

I think that if your goal is to get laid, you need to put your effort into propositioning as many girls as possible. I saw a post a while back by someone who said he was a PUA and I thought "What is that?" but it stands for Pick-Up Artist. Here's a forum for it: Pick-up Artist Forum: Videos, Pictures, Thousands of Articles, & FREE Membership! I am sure there are many other PUA links out there if you do a Google search. Good luck!

First, get that job, because even if you're just looking to get laid it's going to take money some way or another. Then if sex is all you want, then I agree with MmeIntentional, just hire a high class prostitute. I'm sure a higher end "lady of the night" will be willing to come over to your place seeing as you have no car. |

As for that link... is the same things I've always read.... I'll check "EFT" and "TAT" to see what they are (and I hope they are a think I don't already know lol...). Too much confidence must be bad... anything has a "too much"... I know one cure for too much confidence... Rejection! :-) That's the way I see it when I get rejected... I feel frustrated but well, it has to be good for me in the long run or so... more humility or so. | |

I've seen the video of the EFT website, very interesting, the funny thing is that the relationship of body-mind-soul is the thing I always wonder the most. I study it for myself. Yep, physical problems caused by emotional problems... and physical gestures can alter your emotions, that's true. But my problem is not an emotion or a feeling... that's it. So I don't have nowhere to place the fingers or the hands... anyway I believe that works but not in the long run, it's just a feeling you get... kind of a trap... anyway I'll check if "my problem" is identified for them. TFT very interesting though, but I don't have a trauma, just lack of success... |

Songwritter, the theory of TAT and EFT is not that simple, im afraid you are taking it too lightly because it goes beyond of what you think. Im no expert, by the way, but those techniques really change your personality for the better, they are not short term solutions, they have life changing effects, they are THAT amazing. Those techniques work also on Limiting beliefs not just "simple emotions", those beliefs that are limiting you from reaching success. You dont have a trauma, you have many of them, we all have, except if we lived inside of a bubble. You dont reach success because of the way you act, you act negatively because of the negative experiences you had, most of your problems arise from those negative experiences you had because the mind somehow tries to revive them (im no expert, im just trying to explain it as i understand it), so the mind throws this negative memories to you and they act as obstacles, with EFT and TAT you can get this obstacles off from you, you delete them from your personality, not the memories, but the thing that really hurts you are the feelings, so what you are actually doing is freeing yourself emotionally (EFT stand for Emotional Freedom Techniques), what i am trying to say is that the emotions arise from the memories, this emotions are actually OBSTACLES for success, and with this techniques you normalize your organism to function in a healthy way, without any obstacles. So its not only healing physical problems, but mental ones, attitudes, character problems, its a great tool for self growth, it actually helped me to be more succesfull in various areas in my life, thats why i insist so much, i know for a fact that it can change your life. I dont know what else to say, or how to encourage you more to try it and give it a serious try, just dont miss this great oportunity to change yourself. My best wishes to you.

I know, I know... but the heck of it all... is that I don't know what do I have to change in me. If I knew it I wouldn't need EFT, etc. I can change my personality... not from day to other, lol... but I can do it. Well, I say that If something depends only on me, I always get it. It make take long but I can get to do it. Okey, but not when that something I want depends on another person too... (like get signed by a record company, or getting a girlfriend). If I knew what is that that i have to do I would do it. Changing myself, learn some certain skills... singing like Elvis (lol), I know I would do it, all of my life I have get to change what I wanted to change in me. Slowly. But in this I simply don't know what do I have to change... the problem is depending on other person "validation", especially when they don't tell you why you're not what they want.... or why they do not like. Then I can not change it, for I don't know what it is. I'm sick of doing online personality test that qualify me as "very attractive personality" or "excelent communication skills". I enter this web searching for "social skills" or so and this web was the 6th result in Yahoo. I've learned a lot of things (and maybe even show) but the one that took me here. |

Check out Zan Perrion (Enlightened Seduction by Zan Perrion). Also search for him on YouTube and watch some of the videos. I agree about the "community" having tons of harmful elements, but this guy is really heart-centered and this stuff will make you a better person all around.
