Classic newbie mistake.
Your own mind will trick you like that and get you to believe that having fun with your friend is accomplishing something. It isn't. Fun is fun. But it's not enough to get you the skill set you want.
You must force yourself to approach 10-20 sets each night. No excuses. It's best to start approaching immediately upon walking into the club. The first girl you see, you approach.
Which is why when you get a bit more experience and comfort, you should hit the clubs solo. Solo you can really do some damage in the club. Hanging to your friends too tightly will not allow you to get laid. You must be ready to break off from your friend to approach girls, and bounce them to new locations. It is not enough to just approach a girl and stand with her in the same spot the entire night. Once she's attracted to you, you've got to bounce her as much as possible around the place and then outside the place to other places and ultimately to your apartment. Pickup does not work without leading and bouncing.
Solo is highly efficient. But it's emotionally hard, because when you're out of set you feel very alone.

@Dorotheus Great work!
Now just do that a couple hundred more times.
Don't worry, you will be amazed at how fast your skills improve.
Do not be detered by rejection or awkard moments. Those are all totally normal and they don't matter. Get very used to girls rejecting you or ignoring you.
Work on your body language, strong eye contact, commanding vocal tone, flirty smile, and plowing conservations without ejecting from set.
Your conversations should be slightly sexually charged. Don't be talking to her like a gay friend. She needs to register within 5 minutes that if she gets in a room alone with you, you're gonna bang her. But do not verbalize sex. This is something she must pick up from your flirty manner and the way you look at her.
Practice looking at her like you are a lion looking at a juicy gazelle. Get that chemistry going immediately upon approach. Don't be talking to her about work.
Your goal should be to reach the hook-point in the set, where it is clear that she's attracted to you. It usually takes 0-5 minutes to hit the attraction hook-point. Attraction happens surprisingly fast.

Yes it does. Because that's how God's Goodness works. The "bad" is precisely there because it creates a higher Good.
It doesn't matter if he does or does not reconcile with her. Her work is to forgive him and his work is forgive himself.
No justice is needed.
Notice how you are projecting your personal standards of morals and justice on the world. This is holding you back from LOVE.
That's good too, but that is your judgment. You are looking for people to act in ways that makes your ego feel comfortable. But the universe has no such obligation and so in this way you will cause your own suffering and until you realize the error of your ways.
I stand by my points not only if all of them are rapists, but also murders. The judgment is your projection. That's the deep realization you must see if you want to reach the highest levels of consciousness.
Or don't. It's fine either way.
I'm not going to force you to love.

After watching just the pathetic bad attitude of many on this forum about girls, i decided to go out and approach as many girls as possible to see what they are like. This is something which i never do, so relax a bit because this is going to be fun for you, lol. The rules before i went out:
- no drinking;
- approaching alone, no wingman;
- try to spend as much time as possible with strangers;
- no pickup lines, authentic conversations.
When i was in the bar, the most difficult thing to do when looking back was the first approach. I just went to do it annyway, which quite surprised me. The conversation was pretty sollid and she laughed a lot, but she had a boyfriend. The following 5 approaches where just like this, everybody had a boyfriend, lol. What also was verry funny to me was when i did the approaches, almost always, the girlfriends of the girl i approach in that instant grap there phone. The girls i approached thus far, where all nice and enjoyed my company. But i wanted to go to another bar to change things. 
The following two approaches in the line-up before the entrance i can just say where the most awkward social experiences i ever had. I asked a girl if she was enjoing her night, she looked me straight into the eyes and then turned away her body. I just didnt experience for her anymore. I was just dumpstruck. The girlfriend of the girl then turned arround and said that i was to nice and must be a fucking dickhead in order to be more attractive. The guys in the line-up just laughed me out, but i didnt give a damn fuck. Went in the bar and approached 2-3 girls, 2 of them where blowouts. The third was a pretty sollid approach but she had a lot of social value so after a while she just ignored me because there where also other guys. What i also found funny was the effect my approaches had on other guys. When you see me rocking it there are no excuses left i gues.
Then i switched bars again and approached 4-5 girls, 2 of them went pretty good and there was physical contact. But one of the girls i approached was 15, so then i stoped. But the other girl liked me untill i said that i went out alone, lol. From that point on the conversation went downhills and the stoped touching me. 
This was my night out, much learned here. In conclusion i can say that my objective was met, but i suck shit in flirting. Like really. If i didnt do a lot of spiritual practices i would have been depressed now because there is much work to do. But im happy i did it annyway, and i will go out at least 1 time a weak to practise this. 
You will here from me in the future, more epic rapports comming?.

I would never visit one if not for the pickup.

I don't like being in a club. That's not how I blow off steam.

I went out to nightclubs and bars for about 2 years in a row.
In that time I had maybe 2 drinks, which were offered to me for free and I drank them just to be polite.

Most retreat places are around $100-150 per day, this one is on higher-end, of course
You for sure can be happy. It's more about degrees of happiness. I claim that people who do vacations on wellness/spiritual destinations  experience much higher degrees of happiness vs conventional tourism/vacation industry

I usually throw some short-grain rice into the rice cooker, sprinkle some wakame rice seasoning on top, and then mix in the natto.

@phoenix666 Sorta proves my point actually: nutrition science is sketchy and contradictory.
And there is much more to the issue of health than just fish oil or heart disease. The problem with all such kinds of studies is that they are ridiculously unholistic. They track one or two variables and then make conclusions about overall human health based on that. When in fact there are clearly thousands of variables involved.
My larger point was: if a sub-population of humans can survive and thrive for 10,000+ years, then nature probably has adapted them to eating what they eat.
Any one scientific study can be overturned or proven inaccurate or misleading. That's the problem with studies. You don't know which one to trust nor what the big picture consequences are.
I would predict that when we look back on the nutrition knowledge we have today in 100 years, much of it will look like voodoo and bro-science.
Yes, my own nutrition theories could also be wrong. That is the point.
I think the best overall rule of thumb is to stick to as natural foods as possible. But the problem is, natural foods are almost non-existent. All modern animals, fruits, and wheat have been artificially bred. We have little idea of what's in them or on them.

@Max_V I understand. I'm fairly tall and skinny too. Learn to love the skinny look. Human bodies are designed by nature to be lean and efficient, not beefy like a hog on steroids. African warriors are lean, not beefy.
Note that most ripped men and celebrities use steroids to look that way. The entire bodybuilding culture is basically built on steroids. The whole thing is a ridiculous lie perpetuating a vicious cycle of low consciousness.
Being skinny is not going to get you any less girls. Girls care about your personality more.

Absolutely worth it. You haven't started to live until you moved out from under your family.
Yes, there will be a period of loneliness. You fix this by going out, socializing, and making new friends.

I've reacted very sensitive to cannabis. Most in a bad and horrifying way. No insight or spiritual wisdom was gained in ~100 cannabis experiences. Have not consumed it since 4 years.
Psychedelics are the exact opposite for me. It takes about three times the usual dosages to feel LSD or Shrooms. Never had a purely bad experience. Massive and long term life altering Insights had been gained. 
If your mind is clear and collected, psychedelics is meditation times X. Ask yourself how meditation compares to being stoned. 
 

If you do 200 breakthrough 5-MeO-DMT trips and desconstruct absolutely everything in your mind as I teach, you will realize what I'm telling you is true. And you will never again listen to any guru or spiritual teaching. You won't need them. You will be God. But you will also be completely alone, forever.

Practice a lot.
Record yourself. Speak out loud to yourself. Project your voice. Speak from your belly. Do vocal exercises like speaking the alphabet with various intonations. Practice speaking slow vs fast. Exercise your tongue and mouth before speaking. Practice singing. Speak about things you're really passionate about and know well.

@NoN-RaTiOnAL Be patient and let your relationship play itself out. Things will become more clear as you sleep with her more over the months. In the meantime contain your cravings or fulfill them with her.
Porn is also good here.

Sheep get milked

200 trips x 30mg of 5-MeO-DMT = 6 grams x $150/g = $900
There. Saved you $100,000 and 20 years of gurus bullshiting you with their useless pointers.

Happy testimonials?
You mean the oldest grift on the internet?

Bullshit
That can be done occasionally, but not consistently. It's not even worth working such girls when so many single ones around.
Most girls are pretty loyal. And if she's cheating then the relationship is probably already on the rocks.

Dude, stop caring about it, Just develop yourself and talk to more girls. You will find girls who are super loyal.

Yes
That's not possible.
You can't even get 90% of single women to make out with you.
You can't make her do what she don't want to do.

True, but in this case my game was on fire and the set could not have been run better. She was as attracted to me as a girl can be. I feel confident that no PUA could close that girl.
Makeouts are so easy they don't mean anything.
Many girls will even rationalize a BJ as not cheating.

I tried to pull a married chick, just to see how far I can get. She really fell for me. But even so, I was able to make out with her, but unable to pull her into her bathroom. We made 3ft from her bathroom. So it's not so easy.
