And it's precisely this kind of defeatist attitude that is preventing a lot of guys from having success with women. Hell, it's preventing guys from having success in a lot of areas in their lives. If you've already concluded that you can't succeed, you won't.
Do you honestly believe that it's impossible to learn new things and to change the person you are after the age of 17-18 or 22? If you do, I feel very sorry for you because you must have a very pessimistic outlook on life.
I was absolutely pathetic with the ladies. Until I was 22, I didn't even have female friends. The only female friends I hung out with were my friends' girlfriends. It was a rare thing for me to have a conversation with a girl and it was a big deal.
I turned 25 recently, and no I'm not fvcking like a rock star. But I do regularly get pvssy these days. I'm still not where I want to be...not by a long shot. But I am WAY WAY better than where I was before.
And there were times when I felt hopeless. I looked around and a lot of guys having success with the ladies. I thought "what the fvck is wrong with me!?" I have made every single AFC mistake. I suffered through a bout of severe oneitis.
But all these things made me stronger and made me a better person. Nothing in life that is worthwhile comes without struggle. I agree that if you're 22, and you suck with women, it's not going to be easy to improve yourself. But it can happen if you put in the effort.
