neghlucky Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 greetings, i wasnt sure exactly which forum to introduce myself so i picked this one. my name is paul, i live in arizona.. im a landscape photographer and a martial artist/acrobat. throughout the years i have kept to myself a little too much, so i recently decided to branch out, and expose myself in order to gain experience and knowledge. due to my isolation i feel that i have developed a poor self image and level of confidence, i know im a good looking guy and rather intelligent despite my lack of formal education, i dropped out of school in grade school, grade 5 to be exact. i have lived like a hermit for the last decade or so. my life has been chaotic and it is time i escaped into higher order. i have been looking for a good forum to associate myself with and i think this one might finaly be the one, so, hello everybody! btw im almost 21 years old and ive never had a relationship, ive never kissed a girl and i find that it is quite pathetic that i still get too scared to think properly when im around a cute girl and lack the confidence to introduce myself, i just cant get over my major flaw!(hyperhidrosis) im improving alot in that category though! so any tips would be much appreciated. i apologize if that was too many pictures. ;\ Moderator's note: it was too many pictures! Edited links down to one thank you for your time. ;D Link to post Share on other sites

Touch_of_Naughtiness Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I am also relatively new to this site, but I already LOVE it, so I am sure you will too! Link to post Share on other sites
RowanRavyn Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Since I don't have DSL I couldn't see your training videos. What type of martial arts do you study? I know a great martial arts forum. They discuss everything over there and they are cool folks to boot. PM me if you are interested and I will give you the link. We are a martial arts family. I am a brown belt in TKD, and was a womens heavy weight kick-boxer. I experimented with Hapkido, and Thai Boxing. I found them both too rough for me. My honey has been studying Tai Chi for nearly twenty years, has studied Eagle Claw with Lilly Lao, is proficient in Escrema, and is a black-belt in Shotokan. My kids study Kung Fu with Tat Wong. Welcome aboard! And since I am not a cute girl I shouldn't bother you at all Link to post Share on other sites

Author neghlucky Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 Moderator's note: it was too many pictures! Edited links down to one sigh, did you have to remove my photography and video links as well? What type of martial arts do you study? I know a great martial arts forum. They discuss everything over there and they are cool folks to boot. PM me if you are interested and I will give you the link. i took a couple classes of okinawa karate.. but i felt that i would make more progress training by myself, i still plan on joining some dojos in my future, when i can afford it. i have studied all of the major styles from books and videos, i emphasize muy thai and capoeira. which forum is that? i frequent a couple myself. I am a brown belt in TKD, and was a womens heavy weight kick-boxer. I experimented with Hapkido, and Thai Boxing. I found them both too rough for me. My honey has been studying Tai Chi for nearly twenty years, has studied Eagle Claw with Lilly Lao, is proficient in Escrema, and is a black-belt in Shotokan. My kids study Kung Fu with Tat Wong. wow thats excellent! i enjoy all of those styles, however i dont know much about eagle claw, is that a branch of kung fu? martial arts changed my whole outlook on life, and they are the funnest form of exercise i have yet discovered! Unfortunately, I can't train right now due to illness. i dont want to pry, but that sounds like an excuse to me, training helps your body regenerate from most forms of illness, but i really dont know about your situation so ill keep my mouth shut. :| Welcome aboard! And since I am not a cute girl I shouldn't bother you at all thanks! and its very difficult to bother me I am also relatively new to this site, but I already LOVE it, so I am sure you will too! great ;D Hello.. Welcome to the Love Shack Hope you have a good time here Very nice pictures wow thanks everybody! nice to meet all of you. Link to post Share on other sites
Mezdar Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 My god! you're in my shoes. I've never kissed a girl, a guy, 20, never had a girlfriend! But i don't do martial arts! Good looking too! Doing martial arts gives you confidence, training in self-defense and will help you along the way in you're quest for a girlfriend or companion. How about going out with women interested in martial arts in you're area? You sound like a talented and interesting person, and you're career would impress the women...i suppose!! To increase confidence, listen to music that motivates you, or look up websites that give you tips to nurture a positive mentality. Not only will you be physically fighting fight, but strive for the hunger to get somewhere getting a girl, Link to post Share on other sites
Author neghlucky Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 wow thanks alot for the tips, and yeah martial arts have givin me incredible confidence, it was depressing how i viewed myself before ! im getting closer every day ;D im learning to stand tall rather than slouched and to smile and catch eye contact rather than avoiding it. im still intimidated, yet im much more prepared than ever before. once again thanks for the tips and good luck yourself!
