TBH, regardless of your age or stage of life, very few men are getting it. In high school, very few guys were getting it. In college, it was the 20% rule. I think Good Looking Loser way back in the day had a fire article on this.
However, I see this forum and others like it as a place for the aspiring 20% men to gather. I do wonder though if whenever we all go out to the places we do, perhaps we are against low odds.
That's a great point regarding the top 20%.
I think it's a bit of a paradox. A part of me feels like we're at low odds regardless of which age we're targeting just because women nowadays have so many options. They're more dismissive, more picky, they could already be entertaining multiple guys, I personally know many women that just aren't interested in dating and have checked out, etc.
On the other hand, since getting laid requires one to actually go out and socialize and face rejection which seems like an increasingly rare phenomena for men in today's world, if you're actually out there working on yourself, you're already way ahead of the pack which should help one's odds.
What are our options though? Giving up and bumming it out on the coach isn't exactly ideal. I guess even with low odds, one has to get after it and keep chugging away until success is had.
Also, what are you defining as getting it? Consistently hooking up with new women every week/month?
