I, too, am disappointed to see the same negativity here that I was trying to leave behind when I left the Blackpilled forums and decided to seriously work towards ascension, but I have a hard time seeing how the community could have degraded this much if game continued working as well as it did the whole time and the market didn't become genuinely much harder. Also, whilst being able to confidently approach in real life makes you a standout now, I was under the impression that this doesn't matter nor make things any easier because the online dating Chads are competing for the same girls that you approach in real life.
I wouldn’t worry about how hard or how easy it is. From my own perspective things for me have become easier which could be that I’m more mature now and much more secure in my mental/emotional/financial ability.
But “Game” as a whole has always been about a numbers game and you won’t pull every girl you speak to. But If you’ve managed to create a lifestyle that’s a little different and you can stand on your own feet with a little bit of extra money left to enjoy a few creature comforts you should have a much easier time pulling women as most of this generation are stuck living with parents or flatting.
You can however pull women without money, heck I got more women when I was broke living out of my car then I do today. But you have to accept that these women are here for a fun time not a long time.
Pick what you want out of your life and then choose which type of women you want and pursue accordingly. You’re still going to get rejected more often than not BUT as your lifestyle improves so does your chances with most women ( as long as you’re not a creep ).
Just don’t take it personally and keep doing you and enjoy the journey. People tend to overthink and overreact with everything. The only thing worth the time to brutally analyse is improvements in your own “Self”, everything else is meh “temporary”.
I remember an old post here talking about life being a one way cycle lane. You leave childhood behind with the lessons you learnt (good and bad) and you join the millions of others on this journey. Some paths will ride along you others will intersect and others still will branch off. You make a decision and you see it through. You can always pull over to the side at a resting stop and decide to spend some time with the people at this particular rest stop. You might even stay there forever and have a family. But the one way cycle lane is always there and if you want you can always jump back into it. Just remember once you leave something behind chances are you won’t come back to it so realise this and prepare to make some decisions that may hurt you.
For me the one way cycle lane ends at the top of a cliff at a small tent with an old man sitting by a campfire. He is your soul and he will ask you some simple questions. Did you live a good life ? Did you have fun ? Did you love whole heartedly? Were you a decent person ? Did you leave behind a legacy ? Among other personal questions.
Then you sit down with this old man (your soul) and well I don’t know what happens then but I’d like to have some solid answers for when I get to that clifftop and meet that old man.
Take what you want and leave everything behind. Just some knowledge I picked up over the years
