Give up

[timmywimmy]

This bullshit don't work life is meaningless he'll who gives a shit were all gonna die anyways why does it matter

[canadiankid]

This shit doesn't work in school. I agree there. It matters not that your a great pick up artist but that your having FUN and being the best YOU can be. Just enjoy life, working on "inner game" and becoming yourself can help with that.

[RMO]

since both your icons were the same I was initially confused

I dont see a reason to even argue this, this 'shit' has always worked for me. If you think it won't work, it won't. Were all going to die, except it, the whole point is survival and replication, to do as much of both before we invariably die.

[paradox]

hey you, don't kill yourself seriously. talk to someone

[bonobo]

True, pua doesnt exist you cant sell information for what we already know what to do. and most of us will go through seriously tough times trying to be the 'best you' so can we please stop telling guys to go out and 'just have fun' coz thats just not the truth, you have to get your inner game sorted heck its not even a game you have to get your inner sorted, getting good might not happen in 2 days 2 months or even 3 years but it will happen and the journey is far more rewarding than the destination

What the PUAs don't tell you is that out of the many girls they approach, only a few of them bite. So you got rejected and now you're bitter at it. PUA just isn't about girls. I've improved my life and will have more to improve thanks to things I've learned. Things like how confidence can go a long way or people are just as weak or horny or wanting love.

Yes we will all die anyway, yes we are all the same decaying matter. But what matters now is acting like you aren't decaying and have fun. On a long enough timeline the survival rate is zero, but that doesn't mean we should act dead when we are alive.

I'm here if you need to talk.

How many girls did you try this on?
Did you use natural game or canned material?
It's true, most of this stuff doesn't work in High School. You have to go out to different social areas and see how it goes before you say it doesn't work.

This is your life, and its ending one minute at a time -Fight Club.

This stuff does work. It takes practice but it does work. The entire "pickup" community would not exist if it did not. I know life seems pretty lame at times but the only thing to do is keep going. Whenever i find my self depressed or "mentally fucked up" i usually go, spend some time on my own, and contemplate how i am in control of my own life, and what i'm going to do (not what i could do) to make tomorrow fucking amazing. Try it, it works for me.

good luck man,

I was thinking more about this and I'm going to unload some stories;

I found PUA in February and ironically a week or two after I overheard on the bus a story about a guy doing something strangely PUA sounding... He was going around the mall doing palm readings on random girls and how weird he was. I knew he was doing it wrong since that probably isn't a thought PUAs should be creating.

But on the bus the freshman me caught the attraction of a senior (though I wasn't sure if she was a senior or a junior). I didn't have FB, was at a low of confidence (extreme low), and was dealing with some other stuff. A mind game between the two of us erupted and eventually I got her to sit in a two seater (through this mind game) and I would board the bus and sit next to her.
But it was tough to talk to her, I was not confident. When I finally talked to her it wasn't some horrible thing and while she said I was energetic and a bit too happy (she was very serious it looked like, like Eeyore from Winny the Pooh) at the same time she kept talking to me and giving eye contact. We often wouldn't talk long, just maybe for 5 minutes on every few days. She eventually had me do something for her; to check the graduate-college list at my school since we went to different schools and apparently an ex of hers went there. She wanted to know where he was going but wouldn't say why. I went ahead and got her the information. I was unsure of how to proceed honestly. Eventually one morning in May in the 2-3 minutes we'd talk every morning (she was not a morning person... and many afternoons she wouldn't take the bus later on) she told me that today was her last day. She was going to Yale. There was an awkward tension between us that moment that now I see as the tension of "I wish you made a move... I like you". But neither of us did anything. That is my story of the girl that got away so to speak and I have only recently forgiven myself with a recent success (which was a success due to a miracle honestly, not my own skill).

That was strike one. Strike two when a girl seemed somewhat interested (over the phone, my mom had connections and was with some other woman and the other woman's daughter was there). But sadly I played it the wrong way... I pulled too much and didn't push. Either that or I just didn't know how to game her or both. She was sort of mentally unstable (I do like crazy chicks) and more scene than I could ever be. Eventually text game failed, she never responded really... Fail. But this one chance when I got to see her in passing I didn't know what to say and barely talked. Oh well, we always have another chance right?

Now here was a third folly of mine. Met a girl on a site who lived in the same town as me. Great? GREAT! I had great text game and I saw one or two IOIs. Score. Met up with her eventually... I was unsure of myself and my inner game faltered and was more cocky than funny. On top of that her and I were two entirely different personalities. So she never really texted me after we hung out and I never texted her (I always thought she was going to text tomorrow or the day after that). Actually, she did text me once a few days after and we had a short chat. I asked how things was with losing her bf (he dumped her). She said good, she was getting someone to go to the school's dance with. So I didn't try again. Maybe I should. Maybe I shouldn't.

Anyway OP, I can't help but feel I got one of the shorter sticks in life. Yet I don't fucking give up. I look at my mistakes and try again. In some cases I really need to get my act together with things that should be simple but really I'd like to thank my parents for failing me. :/ But I've learned to not stop trying and to only blame myself for not fixing the problem. So I always bounce back and try to think of solutions to my problems and hopefully enact them... This community is here to help you with that. As I said to a friend of mine with zero confidence before a school dance;
"Even in failure there is success."

In failure you gain a lesson on which to improve and never fail again with.
Girl 1 taught me to go for the close and to fucking try even if it seems tough or impossible
Girl 2 taught me saying something is better than saying nothing or maybe it just doesn't work
Girl 3 taught me that maybe inner game is what is valuable.

All three great lessons that I got to learn through failure.

I have more stories up my sleeves of failures but I wish you luck.

[timmywimmy]

Hacked lmao but I see the dude started a good convo

[Contempt]

well, atleast it was a productive hack.

[canadiankid]

Prodigy - I mean canned "shit" doesn't work in high school. I feel inner game is what is valuable.
Eagle - You nailed it with the rejection part.
Contempt - I like that you are talking about the action part, not planning.
Timmy - Your life is worth living. Life is about experiences, whether success or failures. This is where it comes into play about just having fun. Don't worry so much about being successful with women. Good luck bro

[perceverance]

“Life's real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.”

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”

“To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying”

“Failure is nature's plan to prepare you for great responsibilities”

Read these and think about what your saying.
