I would find it difficult to believe that anyone has added 48 new women to their notch count in calendar year 2020. There's not a lot of practicality there. I could buy 4 or 8 new women in 2020. Maybe 10+ if someone had an awesome January or February, but even 10 in 2 months is pretty difficult to achieve. New notches since March have been difficult to find.
As someone who went to a university full of Chads, this idea of a "Chad" (rich white kid from a nice family) slaying 100s of chicks is actually insane. Most end up having their fling or a few in high school, no more than 10 girls in most cases as they are LTR minded. In college they sleep with a few more girls but in social circles, word gets out so they stick with LTRs more. After sleeping with a handful of girls they find LTRs comfortable. At around 25 or so, they either get married or get a long-term girlfriend. They don't need the validation to slay 100s of chicks, after enough hot girls they get it out of their system and just get their quality LTR.
Nightclubs and game into 30s is for dudes who blossomed and discovered social skills later in life, for them it is a round 2. Every dog has his day.
I attended a large public university with a strong party reptuation. I graduated 15 years ago.
The men who got the most amount of vagina were not rich white kids from nice families who were in good physical shape. They were black football and basketball players.
The in shape white guys from upper middle class or higher families likely had had a few one night stands. If they were in a fraternity, they often they had some girlfriend from one of the sororities. If they weren't in a fraternity, they might have been in some different scenes but eventually ended up with some girlfriend. A lot of the frat guy-sorority woman relationships usually evaporated by the time the participants were 24-27. There usually wasn't more than a 1-2 year age difference in these college relationships. I've been able to see the how the lives of some of the women in the top sorority from my university transpired over time. Most ended up in some sort of marriage with some guy they met post college.
Guys who are practicing approach game in their 30s are a different breed than the popular frat dudes at the university.
Never married, no children 30 something men who find themselves unattached at some point often were not the most popular guys duirng their university years. The most popular guys during university years often got married at some point post university and are spending their early 30s in a marriage. They might get divorced in their late 30s/early 40s though.
There are a LOT of people getting it that end up with permanent long term damage....lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, brain, vascular system, etc. This has been talked about repeatedly and studies are showing it is FAR more frequent than they believed. A recent study showed up to 50% of people who got it, even those that were asymptomatic were now showing abnormal heart activity.
So if you are still ignorant to what the actual problems are and only look at the "death" rate then you are missing the bigger picture. Would you be cool with going out and getting it because you are "healthy and in your 30s and won't die" and ending up not being able to ever walk up a flight of stairs again without having to rest for 5 minutes because you are so out of breath? Imagine what your sex life will be like if you can only do 2 pumps then have to rest 5 minutes because you can't breath.Or ever go to the gym again.
For a lot of men 25-44, this is the big risk. I think few men 25-44 are worried about dying, but they are concerned about having some long term rammifications from a COVID infection. This in turn does impact their psychology regarding pickup now.
How long does the "party scene" last in L.A.? Into your 40's, 50's? In many cities it shuts down around 35 years old. And how would your game stand if you got blackballed in the "party scene", how would it adapt to the rest of the world?
In recent years, I saw guys in my city (a Top 15 U.S. metro) partying at some of the most fashionable bars in the city into their 40s. It happens. Being in my mid-30s while this was going on, I was surprised to see men substantially older than I am doing this.
After age 30, the most sustainable forms of approaching are usually outside the bars.
The nightlife lifestyle is tough, especially for men who work jobs requiring that they show up and be productive in the morning hours. Nightlife is better suited for men who do not have to start their jobs until 12 PM or later. It's not easy to go out on Wednesday night and stay out until after midnight early Thursday morning. Thursday at 8-9 AM will not be pleasant. It's also better to go out on a Tuesday or Wednesday night as compared to a Friday or Saturday night. On Friday or Saturday night, every John Q. Paycheck goes out. Many of these guys have subpar game, and it irks women. Women become more defensive and put up their biatch shields, making it more difficult for every man.
not so much post 2015 IME
Any objective observer would say that the nightlife scene from 2015-2019 was different compared to the mid-2000s nightlife scene.
By 2015, women could get a ton of validation online. In 2005, Facebook was still a college student social network. Instagram didn't exist yet. There were no swipe apps in 2005. OkCupid, PlentyofFish, and Match existed in 2005 and were de-stigmatized. Women could get a fair amount of attention of them at that point, but it would get worse within about 3 years. By 2010, women were getting their inboxes flooded on these sites. The 2005 woman needed the bars more for socialization and for validation more than the 2015-19 woman.
