I looked back and noticed that with almost every girl I asked a friend advice for, I didn't eventually bang her. When you value a girl enough to ask advice, that's the fastest way not to bang her. Some emails are mini-books where guys detail their suffering and ask for help. I'll give it but know the situation won't turn out because they already lost the upper hand. Instead, ask advice after the fact. If you need advice during seduction, you've already lost her for marriage or casual prospects.

Pick-up difficulty is relative and depends on venue selection. I can't get laid in Georgetown but go to U Street and pull regularly because different girls perceive me differently. I've discovered places within cities where success rate is more than ten times higher. If you don't know which places you do better in, you're seeing way less success than possible elsewhere with exact same game. For marriage or hookup prospects, venue matters hugely.

You won't be good unless you reach a point where pick-up feels like a job. One night you're knee deep in a sausage fest and think, "God, not this shit again." Like any skill, pick-up has a wall that must be smashed through if you want consistency. There's nothing fun about getting rejected by tons of women but that's the only way to improve. Having a man achieving your same goals does more to help you than mere knowledge. Find men who support your goals for marriage or casual dating success.

The more you work the more you'll get. Fuck those people saying you shouldn't work for it, just be cool and let things happen. If you want sex with one girl, you must do X approaches, get Y numbers, go on Z dates. A certain number of attempts equals one lay. Tell me how many fresh prospects are in your phone and I'll tell you how many notches you'll get this month. Always take the sure thing over the maybe for marriage or dating success.
