All that I am going to ask is how many of you experienced members (Chief, Charles Finely, ect.) get over 100 lays in a year? You guys have a shit ton of stories. 100 lays per year comes out to 1 lay in 3.5 days. I'm kinda losing faith. I just want to know whether you guys are legit or keyboard jockeys. I think it's fair to ask.
I guess I have to respond since I was specifically called out here lol
I don't know how many lays I have under my belt, but it's definitely NOT in the triple digits. Having sex with many different kinds of women is important in order to develop and refine your wisdom and tastes, but having an excessive amount of sex was never a priority for me. Back when I was terrible with girls as a young teenage boy, I was desperate to be liked and to have any sort of meaningful intimacy. My desperation wasn't necessarily sexual.
The fact that I have had way more sex than the
average guy is more than good enough for me. The fact that I know exactly what to do in order to get whatever I want out of my love life is more than good enough for me. I don't feel a need to bang a different girl every 3.5 days. I could if I wanted, but I have always had other priorities above that. And, if your number 1 priority is to sleep with as many women as possible, that's NOT a good thing. There are other levels of intimacy that you can explore with the women you already have had sex with and it's definitely worth your time to do so.
Back when I was just starting out, I would have been happy if I just learned a little bit of pickup and got like one girlfriend and stopped there, but things didn't work out that way and I ended up in the deep end of the PUA pool. That's why I did end up having lots of sex with lots of girls (by my own personal standards), but it was never really my main focus. My obsession was in (1)
the process of becoming competent in whatever I wanted to do with women rather than just getting laid a lot and (2)
experiencing all levels of intimacy with women because I just fucking love women. A lot. Sure, at one point I was delusional and set a goal to sleep with 100 women in a year or some shit like that, but that was just PUA community brainwash; it wasn't a real representation of my true desires.
In fact, I discovered that I didn't like it when I had shallow, meaningless sex with random girls sometimes. Sometimes I didn't even like it when I slept with a girl too fast. There was even one time I was making out with a girl and she said something along the lines of "let's just have fun tonight and forget about it in the morning" and it made me feel bad and I just left. After that I mostly avoided having ONSs and focused on FWBs. Thus FWBs became my "specialization" in pickup.
I prioritized all the different levels of intimacy (sex being just one of them) the same, so it's not like I got lopsided results by having sex with hundreds of girls while never actually being in love. I'd say my experience has been pretty balanced. I've been in love (the real deep shit) with about 5 different women so far, and with each of them I have had a different kind of relationship. They have been intense flings, FWBs, and exclusive relationships, with my current relationship slowly evolving into a different kind of relationship right now. Having real love with 5 different people in one lifetime might be ridiculously excessive to some people, but compared to how many partners I've had it's actually quite balanced by my personal standards.
It's unwise to focus on your lay count and it's mentally unhealthy to treat women like numbers. The process of dehumanizing women as just notches in your bedpost eventually gets back at you and eats away at you.
Now, I'm not suggesting that
everyone who has tons and tons of sex partners is doing something wrong. Some rare people genuinely have a voracious sexual appetite without having a problem with sex addiction. If
they have hundreds of lays, great! But most people aren't like that. Don't let the PUA community trick you into believing that you need to have a high lay count to be happy. You just need enough... to learn whatever you need to in order to get whatever it is that you
really want.

IT TAKES MONTHS/YEARS to become anywhere near your full potential. its a full lifestyle change especially for introverts.
Just a side note: It takes years for introverts because of the saturation of extrovert-centric advice in the PUA community. I was one of them. I now know that introverts can get good at pickup quickly if they just follow a slightly different set of rules. That's why I created the
Seductive Introvert program.
On the other hand, regardless if you're an introvert or extrovert, it will take a long time if you have any social anxiety. That's different from being introverted.
