Good [insert appropriate local time here], [insert preferred title here].
These things are invariably a pain in the posterior, so I'll dive in. I'm a 32 year old Australia who has known about the game for a couple of years. I had a good deal of success with some basic techniques when I first started, but haven't done anything much since for a reason I'll go into shortly. I was always painfully shy, and have realised over the last month that I'm likely to just shut myself off and do nothing at all. I don't much care for or trust other people, and a history of being bullied (and subsequently being teased for being 'different') are making me re-analyse who I am.
My interesting situation is that I'm married. I was in an LTR with a woman when I discovered the game, and I came to embrace the game so heavily that my fiance knew something was going on. She confronted me, was initially glad I was doing something about my lack of confidence, but soon offered me an ultimatum. and I folded like a house of cards. So now I'm (pretty happily) married, but knowing something's missing. Something inside of me.
If you were to ask me what I'd like from here, I'd say that I'd really like to improve my inner game, as well as participate in the cameraderie of the community you have here. I'm not sure I can benefit from a good deal of what you have here, as I don't intend to go picking up and my wife is not the kind of woman guys would go for, but [erhaps I can help someone, and maybe, just maybe, I'll find myself a set of balls along the way.
There. Too much? Not enough? Excessively pompous? (I get that last one a bit) If you feel inclined to contact me via private message that would be good too.
