No one is saying bars/clubs are impossible. People are just making the point that its becoming more effort than its worth. Its not as efficient as it was a few years ago.
Look at all the crap you just explained is necessary to succeed in the club environment:
When I game I want to go straight to the women. I don't want to waste time talking to a bunch of d!cks to get a chance at one of the girls in their social group who is still likely to reject me. This is a lot of work and very inefficient unless you're VERY good-looking and really stand out from the majority of men there.
Do I still do bar/club game?
Absolutely. But its not the easiest way to meet women. As far as getting numbers goes... day game is most efficient. For ONS your best bet is a party at a bar/club where
you are part of the "social group". The best are parties thrown by girls because all their friends come out (This is where having hot female friends comes in handy
).
My wingman throws parties at his house almost every weekend, then moves the party to the clubs. This is very effective because I get to meet the girls at the party first and become part of their "social group". We also get them drunk nice and early. Then once we get to the club, its much easier to game the girl you want and take her home since she "knows you". Any random guy who approaches her will have to start from scratch
