YouTuber does 100 ask outs to overcome fear of rejection

[GoodMan32]

What use is a telephone number to you when you cannot date normally anyway? You're drowning yourself in theory while you don't take action?

Umm, giving out my cards at the speed dating event is taking action.

As for your claim I'm unable to date normally, I have managed to date before (even if my luck isn't as good as yours)

even if my luck isn't as good as yours

You date on 'luck'?

On the YouTube vid this thread is about, I read an interesting comment.

The comment was along the lines of "The idea that you can get over a phobia of rejection by getting rejected a lot isn't always correct. Getting subjected to lots of rejections isn't healthy. It could lead to frustration, depression, PTSD, etc"

You know what else leads to frustration, depression, PTSD, etc? Embracing victimhood.

In 2012, I hadn't heard of MGTOW or inceldom yet. Yet I still ended up frustrated/developing unhealthy thoughts (because of how hard of a time I had getting/keeping a woman)

And 2012 was the best year I ever had sexually (in terms of how many partners I had that year, all of which were free). But my track record was still lackluster compared to normies.

That was not a call for you to embrace your victimhood, dude. We all know you're a victim of your autism, a victim of your desire for dried up old 'broads' because you're a victim of your fear of giving your sh!tty DNA to a woman who might squeeze out a retard.

More like I don't want a woman to pop out a baby who might get bullied for his/her body hair.

Interesting. 2012 was also the best year I had romantically. Dealt with a girl I met online for the greater part of the year, and I really liked her, and went allot of places together with her and spent ALLOT of time together. But, over 12 years ago for both of us right? While I got married in 2014, I still remember 2012 as one of the best years of the last decade.

Amazing the extent some posters twist logic to slag the OP. Almost like they're looking for someone to beat down and lack the impulse control for restraint.

There's always kicking stuffed animals if the urge can't be controlled, just sayin'

There is always the ignore button.

OP has a long-established pattern of doom saying. Characterizing the sharp replies as "slagging a fellow board member" is thus no less disingenuous than accusing Jimmy Carr of "bullying", whenever he rips a heckler

 

[BaronOfHair]

This is similar to door to door sales. A fair amount of doors get slammed in your face, no matter how adept you are. All that's humanly possible... We can become more proficient, by constantly acquiring more knowledge, and recalibrating beliefs which we previously mistook for Holy Writ

Any guy who's expecting panties to always fall to the floor, each and every time he's within a 100 feet of some chick he'd like to bone, is in for more heartache than the journalist who's expecting John Ramsey to finally say out loud: "I just may be complicit in JonBenet unexpectedly departing the planet, even if that complicity took the form of simply not getting her away from Patsy"

Asking for directions or time went with the smartphone. Everyone uses the smartphone, plus over entitled women would see it as a lame pick up.

This isn't true. But if that's how you see things, that's how they will be. There are a million other things you can say to a woman that aren't creepy, but there are as many excuses not to bother.

 

[Vanderdonck]

If a vid of her response were to go viral, there would be comments galore saying stuff like "We don't know what he did before the filming. He probably brought it on himself"

If a chicken had lips it could whistle. I don't film my daily interactions...

Oh, and another thing that leads to frustration, depression, PTSD, etc, is reading comments on Youtube videos.

Assuming you're not already too far gone.

Goes to a point mentioned here https://www.sosuave.net/forum/threads/smv-and-age-difference.283244/page-4#post-3139595

These fellas who are convinced "There's nothing I can do to alter my circumstances!!!" are similar to hipsters in Brooklyn and Berkely who lament: "I can barely make ends meet, and wealth redistribution is all that can make my life easier!!!"

All while violently resisting the observation that many of their own lifestyle choices(Buying every game system on the market, dining at the most expensive restaurants 5 nights a week, dropping close to a grand per week on recreational narcotics, etc etc)are hamstringing them

Do you really think a cold approach that starts with asking for directions, is going to go somewhere? What are you going to do after she gives you the directions or says she doesn't know where xyz is? Unless she really likes you (ie in which case you would have got clear IOIs and green-lights before you did that and then she'll likely take over from there, etc...) it's really a waste of time. So anyone can approach a girl or talk to her or run game. It doesn't mean she's going to be interested in you.

The thing is, even in the age of smartphones you can easily ask if they're locals and do they know a good restaurant nearby or which café might have the best coffee or is there a vintage shop nearby or... Only socially awkward nerds trust google to advise them.

True, but the main point is that there's always an excuse not to do something, especially something you dread doing because you fear failure / rejection. Too many people have no idea that you often learn more from your failures than your successes.
