I'm starting a small blog series about Nice Guy behaviors. There seem to be a number of posts around here by guys who have surprisingly similar experiences and struggles when it comes to inviting women into their lives. I hope that sharing learning experiences, both positive and negative, can be productive.

My journey towards really improving myself came about roughly 9 months ago when I really hit rock bottom. It was easily the darkest point in my life, but it caused me to do a few useful things: namely, to honestly and harshly examine my past mistakes and take responsibility for my shortcomings. I was unhappy and wanted to change. I'm definitely not done yet!

I had a little stunt with PUA (I read The Game, and two other PUA books; I'll post on this later). I also read No More My Nice Guy by Robert Glover, which is a highly acclaimed book for guys whose passivity frustrates them and inhibits their happiness.

Shortly after this time, another user on this board told me to read the book Models: Attract Women Through Honesty. That book was a catalyst for me, because the author articulated so many of the root causes of my mistakes. The author of that book runs a site called Postmasculine and I am currently doing his Sexual Confidence program. For the sake of full disclosure, I am not trying to sell you any program or anything like that. I’m not even affiliated with the author in any way, but the information has helped me so much that I wish to pay it forward and help someone else the same way I was helped. I'm simply telling you where I am right now and how I'm trying to improve.

The following blog entries will cover a variety of related topics about my past and the lessons I’ve learned (usually the hard way ).

I'm going to try to write this blog as a series of chapters, rather than one or two long posts. Each new post will have a specific topic with one main point. I think it will be clearer that way. Please feel free to post your experiences, ask questions and participate in this discussion.
