My “name” is Devo. The name has nothing to do with the band but it’s a fun name to say. So that’s what I am going by for the Stylelife Project.

Anyway, I want to do better with women.

I’m just over 30, about 6 feet tall, and have boyish looks. I’m not unattractive, but not sexy or masculine. I don’t think I’ve ever hooked up on my looks alone. I can be quiet and shy, get nervous easily, blah blah. I simply lack consistent confidence when it comes to women. But I LOOOOVE women. I think they are cool and I love spending time with them. It feels so good to feel attraction and make a connection with someone. I want to be able to make this happen. Like I said before, my problem is not unique.

My Background
Recently, I came out of a long-term relationship of 6 years. Like other relationships, it was complicated. But it just wasn’t happening toward the end. We both had our faults. I always tried to please thinking that was the way to go. I never really thought about myself first. It ended well actually.

I grew up in the Midwest. I was an awkward teenager and a dork in high school. By no means am I a sad case. I had a few dates, got my first kiss at age 17. Then in college I had sporadic periods of very lucky times and unlucky times. It was random. I could probably continue like this and still have a fulfilling life.

But I want more.

I want a choice of women. I want options. I want to have fun with my new freedom. I don’t want to be nervous, quiet, and awkward. Bottom-line: I want to reach my potential. I just need some help to do it.

Location
Most of my missions will take place in Seattle, WA. Though if I travel, I will take my game on the road. Seattle is a tough town to be a single male. As others will attest, there seems to be fewer attractive females per attractive males here. (Single ladies, consider checking out Seattle. Guys are fit, smart, and fun and you don’t have as much competition.) It’s a good location to put “The Game” to task.

Why the Blog?
If I can’t do this for myself, I can convince myself to do it for the blog. I figure if I am not the only one invested in the process I’ll be less likely to let people down, myself and the readers. Encouragement in the comments sure wouldn’t hurt.

Wish me luck.
