@Lucas88
I want to get into the subject of helping the lost younger generations of young men learn how to score with women and learn how to be more confident in themselves so they can actually lead a worthwile fulfilling life.
The older I get, the more weird shit and disinfo I'm seeing amongst reasonably promising young men who have it in their heads they supposedly can't get women... They're wrong. They CAN get women if the put in the effort and find a workable strategy that suits their personality and circumstances.
So we need to get more seriously into this discussion about practical and well proven strategies to get the women: There's a lot of ways to do it, even for people who have highly conservative views (for example, seeking a monogamous wife only).
Seriously: Social skills, charisma, influence, attracting women, being great in the sack (pleasing the women): It's ALL learnable.
I'm not saying I'm a grandmaster at all of it, but I'm not just pulling this !@#$ out of the air.
I have known quite a few "ladies' men" over the decades and learned how they did it.
(I also have rather large "libraries" I could perhaps consult to vet this stuff out...)
But the modern-day ideas about "incels" and "SMV" and "blackpill" is twisted and seems like a psy-op to me, though I have not researched that topic (just an impression from seeing the whacko !@#$% modern-day males are saying, mostly online).
Back to the constructive side:
For those of us who can get women, how do you do it?
@MarcosZeitola talked recently about wanting to teach his sons how to get the women: I feel that is great, and practically a moral imperative to us as fathers (or as role models, older brothers, etc) so our sons don't end up lost and miserable due to their misguided notion they supposedly can't get women.
As far as I know there's these well-known methods, which won't be ideally for each individual, but definitely do work:
+ Direct approach methods (@gsjackson and me apparently both prefer this)
+ Social / community networks: That might be great for traditionalists into religion because they have church-related groups maybe, but it also works if you know a bunch of sluts (intended as a compliment from my personal POV, LOL, since I like "easy" women


Also, for guys who are really high sex-drive, I know some guys mix "social circle" approaches with clubs and night-life, but I have always disliked that environment, so have minimal personal xp there.
+ Online dating apps: I don't do it, but I know (from friends, acquaintances, etc) that this definitely does work. I've heard this has almost become normal (?) for a lot of people in this day and age... (You'd still have to have solid "dating" skills on top of that though, because the guys I know who use this to bag ludicrous #s of women obviously still have to set up at least something like a drink date...)
+ Nightlife... A bit hard to pin down because the venues will vary... The higher-energy places full of young people on drugs I'd personally avoid like the plague (e.g. loud venues, dance clubs, etc), but sometimes I've been in pleasant low-lighting environments in comparatively "modest" areas by chance, and had "cougars" practically jump on you, LOL. (Fine by me.) I've never studied it systematically though...
By the way, here is the discussion between gsjackson and @Tsar that made me want to start this thread:

There's no way to overcome your anxiety other than to do it a few times. It's not unexpected in a place like Romania, where women are still mostly women, and the men are, in my opinion, not by and large the most strenuous competition you could face. Remember what I told you years ago -- to get with women you need to -- as soon as possible -- lock eyes, get inside her personal space and keep your mouth shut. Conversation should be for the purpose of getting you to that position as soon as possible. If your rap isn't smooth, neither is theirs because they're speaking in a second language. So speak the universal language of physical attraction.Tsar wrote: ↑February 8th, 2023, 4:54 amYes, but how could I go up to an 18 or 19 year old girl and randomly talk with her? Also, some girls look 18 but are actually younger, and I wouldn't be comfortable approaching a girl that's under 18 in a public place and asking her out sometime.gsjackson wrote: ↑February 8th, 2023, 4:27 amStrike up conversations, obviously. All the ones in your target age group speak English and are usually friendly enough. You get a very odd mixed bag of results from older ones who either don't speak it at all or aren't comfortable speaking it.Tsar wrote: ↑February 7th, 2023, 8:07 pmHow do you meet females in Bucharest or Romania? Assuming that I go to Romania.gsjackson wrote: ↑February 7th, 2023, 7:59 pmI've more or less been doing it since 2009 -- most of the year in the U.S., at least three months (and as many as 14) in Europe. And I'm giving thought to doing it full-time in HA-caliber locations -- six months in Bulgaria and six months next door in Romania (the two lowest jab compliance countries in Europe). The cost of living would be lower by getting a Bulgaria visa and staying there all the time, but Bucharest is the best place I've been for females.
I would need to be charismatic enough and impress both the girl and her friend. I haven't tried cold approaching since my first year of college. That was almost half a lifetime ago. I started handing out notes to girls to avoid having to talk.
Would giving notes work?
Most girls always seem busy with friends or busy going somewhere.
That's why I haven't ever wanted to actually talk with girls anywhere.
1. I need to impress her friend.
2. Interrupt her at a mall or sidewalk. She's going somewhere or shopping with friends.
3. I'm not charismatic or a smoothe talker. I can't speak well.
4. She probably has a boyfriend. Almost all girls have a boyfriend when they're 18 years old. Most men will specifically choose 18 as the minimum age for a young girlfriend but not go any lower. This effectively means 18 years old is more popular than other ages.
5. I don't think most girls would automatically give me much of a chance unless they had incentives to do so and I start out not desiring them, so I make it seem like I liked them later. There would also be an age difference. She would need to be okay with that.
I am very anxious about speaking with people anywhere. I wanted to buy I tell myself reasons why I shouldn't and also that I would just humiliate myself and get rejected if I do.
Maybe you can give me some tips so I feel less anxious?
@MarcosZeitola How about you? Do you have any tips for me?
Why would you rule out going to bars? The places are designed for these kinds of interactions, and in Europe they aren't populated mainly by lowlifes like in the U.S. Since you aren't driving you can get sloshed with impunity and roll on up to any chicks who strike your fancy.
The alternative is to develop a social circle -- join organizations, make friends and such, and hope a girl you like materializes naturally in this environment and you hit it off. But here also you have to actually talk to people a bit. Not much, just a little bit and then do a lot of listening. They'll think you're smart. And as I told you before, if you want to develop a social circle, a good way to start (and save money) is to scrap your privacy concerns and stay in a hostel.
