Hello all, my name is Dave. I am a 22 year old man with very little experience with women, and am on the path of self-improvement. I am making the study and pursuit of social skills as important as my college GPA, as well as the improvement of other parts of my life. I have spent too much of my life by myself as a computer gaming nerd and with very few relationships as the "nice guy", so I have made drastic steps to improve myself over the last few months. I have read some of David DeAngelo's "Double your Dating", as well as other websites with advice on social skills. I have made the transition from "absolutely terrible" social skills to "below average", and I will continue to practice to get the life I want. Luckily, I was born with the gift of fast metabolism, so even with my previously unhealthy lifestyle my looks have not suffered all that much. I am quite on the skinny and pale side (6' tall, 140 lbs), but I am confident that my lack of success with women is attributed to my boring lifestyle (school and work, that's it!) and social skills. Hopefully this place will help me get the results I am aiming for, though I know the real battle lies within myself.
