I get you bro. Its very understandable to skeptical of Pickup. It sounds like the biggest fucking scam of all time. "Yes, every dude can get game so good they can date the hottest models." and then you think of the dude from high school who used to lick windows and you think yeah fucking right lmao.

But a lot of this shit makes a big difference in my experience. And you have "Aha!" moments. For example, loads of dudes think ok the girl is deciding whether to choose me or not, i better impress her. But with pick up you can flip that on its head and instead YOU become the decider, where she is trying to impress you. And then its a whole different ball game. 

Cold approach was apparently a lot easier before in the 90s and the 2000s. It's still doable but now more than ever you need status, social circle, etc to get the hottest women. It's partly because of the financial crisis that reduced the income of people and made the average man less attractive as a mate and also the advent of social media that globalized the dating scene that created a situation where now I can run an IG story and instantly women that I know in different cities in the country think of me as opposed to the dudes they have access to. It rewards increased effort and makes laziness even more deadly in dating.

Is the inverse of cold approach where you don't even try and people approach you for conversation?
