I'm 15 years old and a sophomore in high school. I've read up on RP theory and seduction forums and I'm not claiming to be an expert at all in seducing women, in fact I still suffer from terrible approach anxiety, but that's only when approaching a woman with the intention of getting a date. In every romantic endeavor I've taken part in, the woman has made the first move; I've been incredibly lucky, but it's time for me to grow up and take action for myself now.

But one thing I see happen too often is when a guy gets so absorbed with seducing women that he completely forgets how to talk with other men, or even just women for a casual friendship. It doesn't matter how good you are at talking to women, as soon as she sees you try to make conversation with the bartender and fall flat on your face like a socially inept retard, she's going to start backpedalling. Make sure you strike up conversation with strangers when the time is appropriate. Obviously if they have headphones on and are knocked out on the bus or the train taking a nap, it would be absolutely retarded to tap them on the shoulder to wake them up and say "hey buddy, what's your name? I'm u/detroids! Where'ya from, pal?" but if you're out in the town, try to make conversation with the guy behind the counter at subway, make conversation with the guy behind you in line at subway, if you're walking your dog make conversation with the girl who's dog is sticking their nose in your dog's ass. Just last night I saw some college kids playing spikeball in their backyard as I was walking home from getting a snack at the gas station with my friend. As I walked by I simply yelled "You boys playing spikeball?" And I asked to join, and we played spikeball together for a few minutes and they gave us some pointers on how to survive college. You don't even have to get a number or contact information or even really ever talk again, as long as you put yourself out there and interact with another human being, you're doing fine. Remember, the point of this is to make connections with other people, not to just get laid. If you're only in this for mindless sex, then just get tinder. You don't even have to smooth on there. Just say she's hot and you want to have sex with her. It might not always work, but it's guaranteed to work eventually. As for the rest of us, we're in this to have quality and abundance in our lives.

Also, this is kind of an afterthought, get yourself used to rejection. Not even rejection, just get yourself used to breaking social norms. A couple nights ago I was out grabbing a snack at Sonic with my pal and as we were walking back home I thought it would be a perfect chance to demonstrate this, so I started doing a silly walk on the sidewalk. As I was walking past an intersection, I heard some fellow teenagers in a car about 300 feet away from me yell "you look like a fucking crab!" and we had a good laugh. They pulled up to me soon after that and filmed me doing the silly walk, and I yelled "you ladies single?" and they said "You're fucking gay!" and I yelled back "fuck you!" and they sped up and drove away and it was a very silly and playful interaction. Don't be a fucking boring nerd.

That's all I wanted to say here. Again, I'm not a PUA or sex guru, just throwing out my two cents here. Just some food for thought.
