First off : I appreciate your sharing your story and commend you on turning your life in a more positive direction. Its a great accomplishment in of itself.
As far as "gaming women" is concerned I'd suggest just reading more of the forum. Your threads and posts (and Ive read a number of them) seemingly have a common theme. You give the impression that your looking for a "magic formula" or "secret combination"
The analogy Id use is youre looking to solve this:
(d-dx)x^m ~ m x^(m-1)... as if the solution = success with women
Put another way ...Its like youre looking for a "tactical" solution when what you really need is a "strategic" one
I suggest more this

And less this

I hope that makes sense and does'nt come across as excessively pedantic
Id suggest just spending more time reading the RVF forum, The Rational Male, and Bang. The more you expose yourself to the right "concepts" the less need you'll have for "formulas"
One tip I will add is always remember "what" you say doesn't matter because no one remembers it anyway. What they always do remember is how you make them feel. This is especially true when it comes to the male / female sexual dynamic
Firstly, thank you for your reply. It took me a while to reflect upon your observations/advice/insights (at first, I was thinking, "wtf does this mean? This isn't anything of the sort I want or even need to hear."). Perhaps the most useful thing you pointed out to me is that people only care about how someone makes them feel (rather than what is said). It was painfully obvious and something I had neglected to consider altogether insofar as my interactions with other people. I see why a sizable minority of my coworkers aren't big fans of me now; I rubbed them the wrong way because I neglected to make them feel good about themselves. It's something I've already begun trying to incorporate in my approach, so thank you so much for that.
As for my searching for a "magic formula," that is certainly true in a sense. I will try rephrasing it as "I need to figure out my killer routine when approaching women." If you have time, check out
The Truth About Women (Natural Game). That guy's testimonial states he uses the same basic routine every time he picks up a woman, it never changes. It's somewhat contradictory insofar as Natural Game supposedly isn't reliant upon pua routines; but, it really seemed to make sense.
I've also been watching
This Guy's videos the last couple of nights. If you have time for this, his style is closer to how I used to be able to interact with women (when I had known girls and had girlfriends, and close friends in the first place, for that matter). I was by no means
that smooth, nor was I pushy like him (hardcore masculine leading/escalating towards sex),
ONLY in the sense of the fine-tuned "social calibration" he demonstrates with women in his videos, he calls it "free-styling" (and that's how I always thought of it, it's my version of "in state"), with
this one(if that makes sense to you) being a fine example. I was able to converse with women in a similar fashion. Overwhelm them with emotions, talking about nonsense mostly,
it was as though we were almost exclusively communicating through emotions. Strong emotional subcommunication
Anyhow, his videos have helped me immensely already, I've been practicing a little on the coworkers who I work with (got a number of a totally bang-able 19 year old who legitimately
seemed interested/down last night after a 10-20 minute interaction, I used his rapid kino techniques, like hugging girls for prolonged periods of time, putting my arm around their shoulders/necks for hot minutes; no resistance whatsoever from most of the girls, some asked me "why are you touching me?" which I didn't react to, just kept plowing and throwing comments out, and another one of that guy's videos also pointed something crucial out to me, he picks some girl up in a street one morning and jokingly proceeds to stuff her in a taxi cab's trunk---he pointed out whenever she said "stop" or "no," he instantly stopped, but then proceeded to start back up after escalating in other ways). Last night, I experienced just a little taste of the power of that "style." I will keep practicing it because I think it holds immense potential for me. It's like a direct natural game on steroids (or something, idk, seems awesome).
So, I am learning a ton of things as I never have before and basically know I'm on my way to becoming a true player-tier type of man (if I go for it all the way, and I suppose I might as well, no point in doing half-assed anything, no?). I am doing it the hardest way, solo, a one man army defying the hand he was dealt in life (especially if you remember what I shared about my father). It's said going solo is the hardest but it will give you the fastest results, and I see why. My quest may take years, but I see it and I
feel it.
One of my issues, however, is I suffer (or benefit) from being something of a true romantic. I was once very blue-pilled. The disney movies, one true love, all of that stuff; and I still have strong natural inclinations towards it, even though now I know the truth about women (there's no going into denial for me when I realize a "horrible" truth, never been the type of person to successfully & consciously delude myself altogether). With me, in spite of my desperate plight on the surface, I am nonetheless picky af about personality in a woman. It's something I realize holds me back immensely. I've neglected chances to get a lot of extra experience time and time again with women because of that. That's why I have begun trying to pull in girls I am not interested in beyond banging.
In spite of the fact I have been surrounded by young attractive women at my job the last few months, there was only one I've ever truly been interested in (you already know since you've read my posts). It's because she has core characteristics I really value in a woman. Many of you will think I am crazy or stupid when I share some of what those are. She is a true low self-esteem head case, talks about killing herself frequently (saying it as a joke and I am sure-for attention-, total attention whore of EPIC proportions, but it's always been obvious to me she's that "type" of girl), and yet I like that in a woman. To me, high self esteem in a woman is simply disgusting! This HB7 (maybe an 8 if she would put herself together and clean up a bit by dressing up, getting rid of nose piercing, etc) says incredibly cheap trashy things which disgust me, was obviously raised very poorly by her parents (she has said as much, "they didn't teach me shit"); yet, she is a "true/legitimate" sweetheart. That is something that is rare in a woman and something of which I value immensely.
Don't mistake me, I am NOT saying I want a girl who is actually going to put me in "that" position (one who makes literal suicide attempts and things of that nature). It's just, at my best, I can make a woman happy, and fulfilled. It makes me feel like more of a man, personally, to be that huge source of strength for a scared little girl. And, chicks like that will do ANYTHING for you. I believe they're capable of a different kind of love the majority of women are able to experience, self-sacrificial love. You know women, they're so fucking cold, it's all about the tingles and the emotional roller coasters. That's all the give a fuck about, themselves. They're not biologically designed to be ready to jump in front of a bullet for a man as are most men for a woman who they truly love, plain and simple; but some rare girls are capable of that. It doesn't seem like many of you guys experience these blue-pilled sentiments as do I and to each his own, I suppose. I have all sorts of ideas, but I am still unsure of what to try and do with her, I made a decision to start ignoring her to tell her she lost her power over me; it will take time for her to realize though. It'll be an uphill battle, to say the least.
To give a quickish update about that, I went on vacation to Europe for 2 weeks; when I came back, she was the happiest of all the girls there to see me. Ran and found me when she heard I was back (thought I quit). She was happy to see me. I then did a big asshole thing to her. I had bought her swiss chocolate, and was going to give it to her in an Alpha way (according to the book, "how to become an Alpha Male") by giving it to her and saying "it's no big deal"; however, I gave her an empty bag with a wrapper ("I brought you the smell of the greatest chocolate on Earth and a cute gift bag"). I got her good. She walked right into it. In front a bunch of her girlfriend coworkers. Face turned red, walked off, "I hate you so much right now." Anyhow, a few days later, I gave her the chocolate, told her it was b/c I appreciated her being polite and considerate to others/etc, and "it's no big deal so don't make it one." She ignored me through the delivery, laughed as I said it, saying "do you see how uninterested I am in your chocolate?" I walked off with a smile on my face as though it didn't phase me. Didn't thank me, hasn't spoken to me (nor have I tried speaking to her). So, I am just going to ignore her, whenever she does wind up trying to speak to me, that is what I plan to do. I tried too hard with her, let the attraction window close too much. Too much of an asshole, too slow, etc. A great learning experience for me. I have to work so hard on learning to read girls and calculate the effect my moves are likely to have, calibration, I suppose. Any tips on how to do that? It's from simply not having interacted with women before this job for years because I used to be competent at this.
A huge part of this struggle is as you said is I lack a "strategic" plan. I have so many things going on in my life; I feel as though I'm being pulled in a million different directions. Ways forward come at huge costs. I want results now but know I have to put in a ton of work in myself for the results I want to come about. I was forced to move back in with my wealthy parents after I quit my offshore job (I've been working on a certification enabling a "real" career rather than bussing tables in a restaurant), so I don't have a comfortable place to bring women if I get them. That has caused me to "hold back" with women, big time. I rely on financial assistance from them to pay my bills, so I am technically a damn early 30's "man child." Now that I got that certification, I am going to try getting a job wherein I can afford to gtfo. It's a true blessing I've had that kind of assistance from my parents after everything, but it seems like an unacceptable status quo (what do you think about that as far as it's relation to going after women? I know I can frame it as "it's not something I'm not proud of, but I am blessed to be able to do it, I have to do it for now, and my parents live with me anyway, girl...", but
still).
From my perspective, my job is the easiest place for me to get women. The management is totally cool with coworkers dating. I touch the girls all the time, pick them up, yank pony tails; Alpha displays of diverse varieties, and thankfully, no manager has ever even looked at me funnily. The head manager also touches women and picks them up all the time. So, I am so lucky as far as that is concerned as well, but I know it's nonetheless a huge risk, even for a short-term joke job. This job has been such a blessing for me because I've totally lacked the skill sets necessary to pull girls in out in the world, though that has improved immensely as you will have already gathered. Remember, the way in which I was always previously successful with women was dependent upon their getting to know me.
I think I'll wrap it up here. I know that's a long post and I am so appreciative of your sharing your time with me, PapayaTapper. I am going to try making a point of posting a reply to one of your perma-links underneath all of your posts because while I was like "fuck yeah!" when I read the one about your neighbor's son, I also have profound disagreements with your ending thought. It'll be a political discourse, should you be interested.
