So you want to be good with women?

You have to advance beyond the THEORY and put it into PRACTICE. You will soon discover what works and what doesn't for you and the girls you go after.

If you stick with it long enough, you discover that the real progress comes from all of those MISTAKES you made.

Don't let your fear of failing keep you from moving forward.

Mistakes make you better than doing it perfectly ever will.

usually it's not a 'mistake' that gets you rejected from a cold approach.

You just weren't her type. She wasn't attracted to you

In a magical groundhog day situation where you are able to re-live the exact same approach, the result would likely be the same every time, even if you have the best PUA's feeding you lines through an earpiece or something.

Even worse, you can do lots of things 'wrong', but she'll forgive you if you are her type lol

Accurate. In fact I had to throw out a decent chunk of theory I learned on here because it didn't align with my experience.

Knowledge is useless anyways if not put into the context of experience. I don't use knowledge to gain experience, it doesn't work like that. I use knowledge to help me make sense of experiences I've already had.

I find that it's better to go in blind and just do some stuff to see what happens, then I can sort it out after in my own time. Trying to conform to some idea in the field just restricts me a lot and I don't learn a whole lot from it.

I would add getting and keeping your batting average over the Mendoza Line while you rack up your mistakes

(to the non-baseball people, you need some successes mixed in with your mistakes to keep the knowledge base growing)
 

Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

20 years ago I read on here something like
“Fear is your greatest strength, it’s also your greatest weakness”

It has stuck with me ever since. Go out and make mistakes, live life the way you want.

What's the meaning? Sorry I cannot understand it
It means you learn a liitle from theory; you learn some from practical experiences that might be neutral to positive; you learn the most from screwing up/mistakes/errors where you found out not to do THAT again.

As you gain experience you will, over time, come to discern what works for you and what doesn't. That becomes the best experience, because it is applied knowledge individual to you.
