        getting rejected is like 90% of the game, tbf.

        once your out of highschool the whole “fall in love at first sight” thing becomes creepy stalker behavior, just got to take shotgun approach and ask people that interest you out.

        worse they can say is no, right? (…wrong, they can say alot worse than no, but that’s the risk you gotta take)

      I mean, a lot of PUA advice is basic bitch “wash your ass”, “dress nice”, “engage in interesting conversation”, “don’t get hung up on a single person forever” tips that get glazed in new age pop psychology.

      And if you go to the OG Bible of the PUAs (and get all the way to the end of the book) Neil Strauss makes all the same critiques of PUAs in the book that’s supposed to laud them.

      The mistake people make is in reading the material like a How To Plumber’s Guide to fixing your dick drain instead of a life experience that informs a moment in history. You can learn from the mistakes of other people without becoming an asshole. Or you can learn to be an asshole by blindly replicating other people’s mistakes.

    You’re only an incel if you’ve been rejected by every girl on earth. If you haven’t asked them all yet, then you’re just not sufficiently desperate.
