Good or Bad Idea?

Okay, twice in the last month, I have been blown off by women I had plans with. And instead of sitting around moping like an AFC, I did something with someone else.

The problem is that both times, I traded down.

The other night, I had plans with a HB7 I had been talking to. But she blew me off at the last minute and decided not to come out. So I went out to the party with my friends anyway and decided I was going to find somebody new to spend the evening with.

I gamed on several girls throughout the course of the night. Some hot. Some hideous. I just tried to talk to everybody I could to stay in a social mood and not be tempted to sit around by myself drinking all night.

I ended up taking home a girl I wasn't exactly attracted to. On the upside, this did something good for my ego in the sense that it proved that I apparently at least have enough value that if I get blown off, I can go find a replacement. Thus I shouldn't get hung up on one girl.

However, on the downside, I really wasn't into the girl I ended up taking home.

My best female friend said that maybe I should just practice on gaming on UGs for awhile to build up my skills and confidence before moving up to hotter girls.

While it sounds like a good idea logically (since I've been striking out with a lot of HB8s and up, and it's been hurting my progress and confidence), I really don't like the idea of having to sleep with a bunch of girls I don't want to be with before I get to be with the one I like.





So is it a better idea to practice gaming on UGs to build up my skills and confidence with more routine success or to continue just talking to the girls I want to be with and striking out more often and spending more nights alone which might ultimately hinder my building of skills and confidence?

I can't see how you're bound to have a good time and enjoy yourself with women you aren't attracted to. Isn't that the purpose of the whole game??

i'll use an analogy for this one

if your playing tennis against somebody crap, you'll never get any better

once you start playing with good people, you're game will improve dramatically

same thing with you

sure, try some things out on a few easy targets, just to warm up and get your confidence up

but quickly move on to the ones you are really attracted to

There's not too much to be learnt from gaming UGs because by definition they're a lot easier to pick up. You've already had your confidence boost (which is always good) but now's probably the best time to move on before you're stuck.
