hey tynan,
stumbled across your blog in relation to raw food.. interesting to read about your food experiences. i really admire that you don't drink, smoke or ingest medicines, and try to eat a really healthy fresh diet. i myself do all those things including yoga, regular exercise, spiritual work and have just started going raw (after being vegetarian then vegan).
however, i read about your pickup artist days and although i know this is what has made you somewhat of a name, i'm confused! what is so great about being able to pick up girls? i personally would never date a guy that i met at a random bar, it's so.. creepy. it just does not seem like a good place for a relationship to start. i don't know anyone with a long lasting happy relationship who met at a bar. honestly.
unless your definition of "pick up" just means knowing how to talk to women in any situation. although personally i think that just involves being happy with yourself and having respect for other people- you don't need a course or a seminar or some pick up artist to tell you that. you seem like a well balanced, self confident and respectful person as it is!
just seems like those two parts of your life are quite contradictory to each other. i know you are only searching for happiness and love, and i just think that working on yourself like you are will bring that to you in good time.
meanwhile, keep up the brilliant blog :)
