YouTuber does 100 ask outs to overcome fear of rejection

And they scoff at the idea of maturity and emotional self-control, preferring to be emotionally volatile wrecks looking for a safe harbour.

The legacy of the counterculture of the late 1960s* still hasn't quite worn off


*"Although historians disagree over the influence of the counterculture on American politics and society, most describe the counterculture in similar terms. Virtually all authors—for example, on the right, Robert Bork in Slouching Toward Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline (New York: Regan Books,1996) and, on the left, Todd Gitlin in The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage (New York: Bantam Books, 1987)—characterize the counterculture as self-indulgent, childish, irrational, narcissistic, and even dangerous"

Red Pill Theology and the subculture around it hasn't been especially dangerous, nonetheless it's got the self-indulgent, childish, irrational, and narcissistic part down pat

Do you really think a cold approach that starts with asking for directions, is going to go somewhere? What are you going to do after she gives you the directions or says she doesn't know where xyz is? Unless she really likes you (ie in which case you would have got clear IOIs and green-lights before you did that and then she'll likely take over from there, etc...) it's really a waste of time. So anyone can approach a girl or talk to her or run game. It doesn't mean she's going to be interested in you.

Hey bro. Sounds like you just suffer from lack of confidence or motivation. I'm not going to break down how to talk to women here, there are threads and articles here for that. Also not going to do personal recaps. If you see it as a waste of time or don't want to do it, that's up to you.

We have no control over who in the vicinity might film us.

So what? Let them. I don't have time to be worried about every unlikely possibility. I could get hit by a bus, it's not going to stop me crossing the street. And that is more likely to happen than any of the random scenarios you guys are imagining.

I'll tell you what I told corrector. If you're unwilling or uninterested in having normal conversations with women or meeting new people in general, that's fine. I'm not here to motivate.

The thing is, even in the age of smartphones you can easily ask if they're locals and do they know a good restaurant nearby or which café might have the best coffee or is there a vintage shop nearby or... Only socially awkward nerds trust google to advise them.

Exactly, people are starved for conversation.

I think some dudes here watch too many staged Youtube videos and are looking for excuses to be miserable. Not going to indulge them any more.

I mean consider how ridiculous and egotistical this sounds. "What if the woman I talk to goes crazy ape sh1t, someone nearby records it, posts it, it goes viral and I lose my job?" Lol who TF do you think you are?

I wouldn't spend too much energy on them. Hopeless anyway, for every advice they get they have a hundred excuses why they can't do it or why it wouldn't work with them, because they are special snowflakes who need the whole world to adjust to them instead of them learning how to operate in the real world.

Extreme solipsism and doom scenarios.
The only problem for this board is that these morons appear 'knowledgeable' to beginners and they dispense regurgitated 'advice' they themselves cannot follow to appear like they are successful with women. And then you read posts full of cringe and socially uncalibrated behaviour.
And if you say something about them, they whine to moderators asking for you to be banned so they can spout their nonsense and weird threads without interference. Best to ignore them.

Agreed. Crabs in a barrel.

Luckily for those of us who are unafraid to push ourselves, there's a lot of pleasure to be enjoyed.

I'm fine with having a normal discussion with a woman.

On a recent post, I mentioned that it's pretty easy for me to chat with a woman platonically. It's only when I attempt to take it more-than-platonic that I fall apart.

(Cue music for the song "I Fall Apart" by Post Malone)

Losing your job tends to be what happens if you get filmed being racist (or merely getting into a disagreement with another race)

Getting filmed acting "creepy" with a woman is less likely to lead to job loss. The main risk with getting filmed acting "creepy" is that the female population in your city will see the vid (if it goes viral). Then it'll be next-to-impossible for you to get a woman.

Being myself=being a pariah to the ladies

I recall it being said earlier in the thread that it would be interesting if the experiment were conducted stateside.

Voila, a YouTuber conducted the "ask out 100 broads" experiment in San Diego:

In addition to being in California (as opposed to Italy), some other differences between this vid and the vid on the OP:

• The guy in the California experiment is East Asian (unfortunately for him, East Asian men are toward the bottom of the SMV totem pole in western countries)
• The age spread. In the Italy experiment, some broads looked as old as 30. The broads in the San Diego experiment, on the other hand, were likely 22-23 at the oldest (with a majority being 18-21); it's a college setting after all. Another difference is the fact the broads in the San Diego experiment are more diverse (ethnically)

He got a 19/100 acceptance rate (higher acceptance rate than the guy in the Italy experiment). Pretty impressive, when you factor in everything he had working against him (The fact he's toward the bottom of the SMV totem pole, combined with the fact American-born broads of any race are some of the most stuck-up broads on earth)
