The Initiate

You are new here and you say so.

The Initiate is new to the lifestyle and transparent about it. In a space where single men are vetted more carefully than most, his honesty is not just an ethical position; it is his best practical asset. He is building his standing through patience and transparency, which is the only way it actually works. The community respects the man who tells the truth about where he is more than the one who performs experience he does not have.

You tend to

/Not claim experience you do not have, because the room notices and it costs you
/Ask rather than assume, because the right question is better than the wrong action
/Arrive at your first events having done real preparation rather than improvising
/Move at the community's pace rather than your own urgency
/Find that the most useful people to know are the ones who remember being where you are

Connects well with

/The Steward (men's) — who will make time for the right person
/The Gentleman — whose model is worth learning from

Not to be confused with

The Connoisseur. The Connoisseur moves slowly by design; you are new by circumstance.
