I'm gonna keep this short so people can read it quickly and get the point.

Basically, the whole idea of getting laid and getting girls etc is making me so tired and to be honest I'm just sick of this being an issue. I almost want to just give up being involved with 'picking up.'

I've had girls in the past, in fleeting situations (maybe I got lucky) but ive never consistently gotten laid. Its been a while since I was with a girl.
Quite a few of my friends get laid a lot but theyre very good looking and they seem to have that 'gift.'

I dont know where to go from here.

Perseverance is the key. I've been practicing for over a few months and I got to tell you, all the advice I get aint crap. I won't tell you that it's an instant 360 from where you were in your life, but it's a gradual process. I'm still an AFC at best, no Real PUA to tutor me in the ways due to my location and have had to resort to reading articles from this and other websites.

You can't ever lose Hope. it's the only thing that got me going, after all after trying out several advice on the Venusian Arts Handbook, things did take a turn for the better and let me be honest with you. I've only ever been laid twice. And no this ain't no BS. I'm a total pussy when it comes to F-Closing. But the one thing that keeps me going is that goal, maybe you can check out Style's 30 day guide to rebuilding your social life in his book "Rules of the Game". Every challenge should be performed. Up until day 30. Change has to be forced and shoved down your own throat. It's a big pill to swallow, but just like any medicine, how are you ever going to get better without swallowing the pill?

Also if they're your friends have them teach you and learn from them. I used to scorn all the guys out there with HB9 Girlfriends, but now I intend to study them, add my own mix and become better than them. The Art of the Pickup isn't just some quick fix to get your hard on, it's a way of life, and dedication is required.

Don't you ever get frustrated watching AFCs please girl after girl, and end up just getting rejected? I want to help my fellow friends and improve each of our games, I don't have a lot, but if you consistently sarge, you can always strike out a pattern that you're comfortable with.
