Today was the first time in my life where I did online game & cold approach in the same day. So I got a really good feel for the contrast between either approaches to getting laid.

I'm 24 now and pretty much relied on my looks to get laid through tinder or having girls approach me at parties up until just recently when I got into approaching girls during the day. I gave up online game entirely when I started cold approaching. However, today I engaged in both within a short period of time. What I found was that online game (talking to girls on Instagram) felt completely like porn to me. It felt like a fake sense of achievement even if the girl did want to meet up. When I approached and had a conversation with an attractive girl at the gym today it felt comparable to hitting a deadlift PR. Whereas gaming girls on Instagram felt like I was playing video games and jerking off. It felt almost dirty in comparison.

Even if the girl wants to go on a date after you slid into her DM's it still feels so fucking bland because it doesn't feel like there's any real risk involved in it. Online game just doesn't give me that skydiving sort of feeling day game gives me. I guess I'm kind of at the point where approach anxiety is becoming approach excitement.
