Honestly the biggest challenge is to be consistently non cringe
It's so easy to be awkward when you start
Why some people even care about rejection, I have no fucking Idea at fukin all
My biggest fear and biggest danger is to be awkward as fuk. It ruins my self image and fucks with my head.
Worst if you do dozens of cringe approaches in a medium sized city and get the reputation of being the cringy pua wannabe
 
you miss 100% of the shots you don't take

Good. Go out there and make a total fool of yourself in public. Embrace the cringe.

Do it until you just don't give a fuck anymore. Then you can start focusing on actually getting better without worrying about what other people think.

also it's subjective at the end of the day -

if i approach 2 women and one dislikes the approach it gets called "cringe" "creepy" "weird"

if one likes it then i get called " confident" "a natural" "a player"

reactions vary so much between women but fundamentally neither a positive nor a negative reaction defines who you are or what your "game is"

Also its a numbers game to some degree - the day i met my girlfriend from daygame it was my 13th approach that day - the first 12 were either blowouts or flakey numbers/IG - now if i'd let those first 12 get to me i wouldn't have my girlfriend now but again the first 12 that day don't "define who i am as a human" neither does the succesfull 13th .

A big mistake beginners make is they overthink every approach and every reaction and they're just mentally gone after the 4th or 5th set because 3 strangers on a planet of 8 billion people don't like what he said to them

Also when you read successful infield or success stories youre really seeing a micro of 1-2 percent of approaches curtail when 90 percent of interactions will often lead to nowhere the majority of "game" is cringe but if you stay persistent great things do happen.

On the other side of cringe is freedom.
also giving into what society and strangers think of you can also be identified as a form of "cringe" - sacrificing your personal relationship goals just to satisfy strangers on the street is also pretty darn cringe if you ask me

You'll always be awkward learning something new. The question is whether you can see a way of doing it that isn't cringe, that you can then accept failing at for some time until you reach it. If you can't imagine any way of walking up to a girl and meeting her that isn't cringe, you'll never be able to stick with it long enough to become smooth.

It's very important to know what you want to become, to have some concept - even if it's a bit of a fantasy version of reality - of where you are going. It's the only practical compass you'll have when things just seem like they'll never fall into place.

Also .. why should any approach be truly cringe? Approach warmly and calmly, get rejected with dignity, smile and accept the result, try again. You're not a penis salesman, you're learning how to meet, connect, and converse with women. What part of that isn't a wonderful thing?

100%

In 60YOC (my personal favourite thing i've ever read on seduction) he tells you to "risk creepy".

What some girls think is creepy, others will think is confident and sexy. Gotta take some risks.
