Speaker Bio:

Name: "Sock"- shorten childhood nickname for Socrates, which is my birth name that I later had changed due to societal and peer pressures. My parents first met during a literature course in college and fell in love reading a play by Socrates... somewhere they thought it would be terribly romantic if they got married and named their first son Socrates... They did and the rest is my history... ...or so the story goes...

Six years ago I found the men's community in the emerging blogosphere, in search of not only trying to save an unhealthy and failing relationship, but in desperate search to find myself and reconnect to a society of men where I had previously always excelled and realized myself. It was something that I had lost touch of and was dearly lacking. It was the first tangible step in changing my life by re-taking control and authorship of it.

I found and discovered many, many things in the community... about myself, my life, my ideals and my values. I found and made friendships that I hold dear to this day. It more than anything for me was a culture that fostered and nurtured acts of self discovery, analysis and ability to be naked and raw with my honesty, as expressed to myself and others. It was this support group with which you could honestly engage and receive feedback, which I found so critical to my personal development. It was and still is many, many things to me well beyond 'The Game'.

Who am I? I'm honestly not sure. I can tell you I'm (currently) a 43 year old man, professional (Architect), guest speaker at The 21 Convention 2011 of Orlando Florida, a man who is still trying to honor his inner child and balance the desires, ambitions and responsibilities of a grown man... to realize an idealized self... in that regard I'm a process, part of a journey of discovery... I am a son, a brother, a friend to many, an ass-hole to some, a lover to a few and a nameless face in a crowd all in one... I am a composition of the human kaleidoscope of being... unique and utterly common... yet distinctly a noble being.

That is a hard speech to beat. A message everyone needs to heard, especially the pick up community.

[Dleerium]

Video is too underrated. Probably one of the most important video's I have watched on youtube to date. Thank's to Sock and Anthony

[ShadowmereNL]

Pickup guys are insecure (well I was) It is about boosting your self confidence getting a girl, not so much about personal development.

Getting a girl is easy for most normal guys, but having a healthy relation is hard work and is indeed a mirror to your level of self confidence, patience, ability to trust and let go etc. It is a commitment. And monogamy is important.

And commitment is something pickup won't teach.

[ChuckFinleytube]

I'm sorry, but too much of what he advocates involves being unemotional and rational with people. That doesn't work, especially with females.

[Artutchikas]

I was watching this on a website, in the middle of the video I just had to go to youtube to give props to this guy. This is so important, and I am lucky to see this video while im only 21. its going to be important in my life. THANKS

[Seantorky3]

"tell me about your relationship with your father" if she says good, move on. thats quagmire in family guy. gigidy gigidy

[stillonparolee]

When you look into the community you see a bunch of nerds who learned pickup and now they are making up for loss time. There is no balance or stability. They still live a life that values the opinions of others more than their own, trying to be alpha to others instead of "doing you". No reflection on Soc, one of the people i admire.
