You can get 4 lays in a month if you go to a party every 4-5 days where girls go crazy.
That does not mean that you are "good". People vent online because they see pickup as result, not a process. If you see pickup as a journey, you get there faster. And you learn many things aside the usual good stuff.
Right, I have few lays on my belt, but I know my game is 5000% better than when I started reading Girls Chase, and that I can do better with women than almost any man I see. So I'm very grateful for where I'm at in my journey.
On the otherside, there's people that are looking for an easy fix for everything on their lifes, and they think they will go out cold approaching, using some pickup lines canned from a book, and they will have women jumping on their bed everyday, right away. To me, those people are fucking deillusional (a lot of red pill guys that say only improving your life and having a better career, body, fashion and whatnot also go there, as they think being attractive means women will come looking for you in your house, and no game is required lmao).
It's really a process and a journey to improve, like, YOU have to improve, not just wake up one day and use some trick to solve your problems and be happy. Learning proper game takes years, there's so much nuance on body language, voice, conversation, leading, handling LMR and whatnot, that can be the difference between getting with the girl you want or not, and of course denying that and looking for a shortcut is only gonna delay you.
A friend of mine, that's doing resonably well on Tinder now (blame it on his fucking generic good look, he's fights judo and has a nice body, on top of it, also not being too smart helps him relate to most girls, somehow lol, I sound salty writing this but whatever), would go out with me on clubs to cold approach, and it was a fucking disaster.
First, he would dress in a bit weird, too formal way for the clubs we where going for (fucking LGBT hip shit, there's some really hot girls there and easy to pickup as well), I would point that out to him, and he wouldn't change shit, but ok, I'll give him a bit of slack here because it's kinda his style, whatever, if you're great at a certain style you can make work pretty much anywhere (not gonna say that was the case).
But also, the way he would approach girls was so bland and weak, like I'm direct, like veeery direct, but the way I approach is very precise and aggressive, because I kinda know the girl is hot for me (of course sometimes I approach girls in more chill ways, but mostly I look for women that are very receptive right on), but he would do this in a really weak way, like come really doubtfully and shaky and ask girls if they wanted to make out with him... Like wtf, what do you think is gonna be the result?
He got rejected more than 50 times in a few weeks, even though he mostly wouldn't approach due to anxiety. I would try to point out stuff he was doing wrong, and how he could do better, but he wouldn't even want to listen, he was too stubborn and arrogant to care, so well... Eventually he got sick of his own lame approaches and simply stopped going out with me.
If you don't trully wanna put in the effort and improve, you won't.
