The older I get, the more I realize that everything about who you are, literally everything about what makes you unique is routed in some childhood experience. I remember a time, I must have been about 7 or 8 and I was too scared to tell the girl at McDonald’s what I wanted, my grandmother had to tell her for me. Talk about approach anxiety! I couldn’t even order a Happy Meal.
My childhood is a story of an awkward boy who spent a little to much time in his head, and not enough time with friends. I was pretty chubby, and still to this day have a terrible self-image. I made a few friends and won over other people with my humor. But still I was terrified of girls. It took me a while to understand the difference between love and obsession, the fine line between a crush and an addiction. I seemed to always become interested in some girl and then because I could never do anything about my feelings my innocent crush became a huge open social wound. The feelings I had were so strong I could only describe them as love, but really I was just focusing my need to be accepted and loved on this one random person. Needless to say, non of these crushes ever turned into healthy relationships.
As I got older had a few meaningful relationships, I learned a lot and had my heart broken a few times. Even during the good times though, I never really understood what was going on. I tried my best, but I could never get what the girl was thinking. I didn’t have the ability to work with emotional logic, at least I understand that now.
A lot of guys seem to think that there are certain things you can do to attract women. Trust me, I have done them, short of being a millionaire, I have done them all. It really doesn’t matter unless you know how to turn that female attention into attraction. I have been a guitarist in a metal band, I never had any luck getting girls doing that. After I broke up with my last girlfriend I bought a sportbike. Let me tell you that dressing up in all the bike gear may make you feel like a sexy bitch, but unless you know how to talk to women there is no way you can handle the type of girl that bikes attract anyways. After being single for a year and realizing that I have absolutely no abilities to pickup or attract a women I decided I needed to do something about it. I had read The Game
And guess what? You all get to watch me every-time I break a string on my guitar or flip my bike into the ditch. Every one of my success’ and every one of my failures will be documented here so we all can take the lessons from them. Thanks for joining Jack and Scott’s PUA Journey!
Sincerely,
Scott Taylor
Unfortunately Episode #2 was the last we saw of our friend Scott. He is a very real example of what happens to 95% of guys who find this type of material. They start out strong – only to fizzle out soon after and throw in the towel. DONT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU! – Jack Coxwell

Hi Scott.
Just saw episode 1 and i must say that this is some interresting stuff and i intend to watch all the episodes.
I’m in the PUA community too, and dude.. i feel you. Seriously i’ve had a lot your problems, and some of them are still present i can tell you!
I know i’m younger than you, but i still hope that i can give you guys some advice from time to time anyways
But dealing with your past is a b*tch isn’t it ?
Therefore i most highly recommend Eckard Tolles book – “The power of now”
I wish you and Jack a happy 2008, and good luck with all those beautyfull women that you DESERVE!
PS: Of course you might already have signed up at area51lifestyle.com and watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWnPH-kXeZM but i still thought that i might inform you guys just in case
Dude never give up, I was terrible with women and now my and my mate have major changes in our lives. You guys got balls for making this site well done. Trojan, London
Hi Scott, I came across this video and just wanted to tell you that I can relate to you.
I used to be extremely overweight, I mean, I was huge. And then I lost 50lbs and I just expected that women would naturally flock to me. But you know what, it didn’t happen. And man, I was confused. I’m a decent looking guy now, but how come I’m not getting any women?
Well dude, the answer is this. The weight loss will definitely help, but it won’t take you all the way there. Women have an extremely high intuition of sensing confidence, and they could still detect that I wasn’t confident. What I’m trying to say to you is that you need to realize that looks really don’t matter anymore man. It’s all about how you carry yourself. You can definitely draw confidence from being in good shape, but you will have greater luck drawing confidence from what you know is positive about yourself. Don’t let weight get to you. If it’s an issue, work on it. But at the same time, work on yourself.
If you have any questions, I have a feeling I can really help you out. Feel free to reach me.
Happy Gaming,

Stage,
Hey man thanks for the comments. Weight has been a huge issue for me the last few years. I used to be about 60-70 pounds lighter than I am now and I just don’t feel comfortable in my own skin which affects everything I do really. I am now focusing 100% on inner stuff till I am back to where I was before and I can say that I am fully happy with who I am. Once I am that point I can push myself to learning and developing other things in my life. (ie, gaming etc)
Some people seem to think this is a bit of a cop-out, but I just can’t seem to make any progress in my life if I don’t have this inner shit worked out.
I totally hear you on that confidence point. It is all about how you carry yourself. And its not just women, everyone you interact with each day respond to you based on how you present yourself to them.
I plan to do an update soon on specifically what I am working on to get my shit in gear.
Keep in touch,
Scott
Wow man, your life seems similar to me.. very similar. When I was a child I also feared to do things such as order food. I recently read the Game and I am currently trying to get over my AA for women. People like you give me inspiration to keep moving forward. Good luck!
Hi Scott,
How’s your inner game stuff going? I hope you’re well on your way to getting healthy again,
Best Wishes,
Jayden
Hi Scott,
I can relate to your story, as I’m sure many young men can. Inner game issues have always held me back from fully practicing the game.
Currently I’m taking a break from the field to get my inner game handled. I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing what techniques or strategies have helped you deal with your inner game issues? I’ll post what I’ve been up to so maybe we can draw inspiration from each other.
Currently I’m reading “Mastering Your Hidden Self”, a guide to the Huna Way, as recommended by Style. It teaches a lot of ancient Hawaiian philosophy, and while it may be kinda “new age” in parts, some of it makes sense, especially when dealing with negative emotional energy.
I’m also studying “Mind OS” as presented by Dr. Paul in David DeAngelo’s “Deep Inner Game” video series. I’m a very visual person, and Dr. Paul does a great job of portraying helpful psychology in maps and charts that I can picture in my head when I’m having issues such as anger, anxiety, etc. They help me make decisions that will help me grow as a person, when faced with challenges in my day to day life, rather than doing what I’ve always done.
I’ve been doing random scary things to try and push me from my comfort zone such as:
- public speaking
- step class (I’m the only guy in a room full of hot sweaty women, it’s totally intimidating, but good for me)
- making small talk with strangers
- asking cashiers how their day’s going before buying stuff
- in two weeks my friends and I are all going to the beach in a speedo
Anyways, keep at it, and I look forward to seeing you in the field again bro!
James
