I can't help but feel like 90% of meeting, dating, hooking up with women is a numbers game. Maybe it's because I'm a math major. My college is 54% male, 46% female, (these numbers are available online, I just looked them up) and even this seemingly small imbalance throws off the vibe completely and on my campus the hottest guys are routinely competing over average and even below average women. Contrast this to the time I visited my friend's liberal arts college which is 55% female and it's the complete opposite and all of a sudden I got a ton of female attention and the whole campus vibe is completely different and more like the girls were competing for me.

I've been to bars in NYC where there is a disproportionate amount of young single women to young single men(there are news articles about how NYC is this way) and the difference in attention I get is INSANE compared to bars in my hometown of cincinatti where it's an equal distribution.

The reason you're not getting women(though do keep in mind rule 1 and 2 of course) is because you're simply not in situations where there is a decent ratio of men to women.

I've realized it's just a numbers game. You don't need skills or techniques past basic social skills. Gimmicks mean practically nothing. If you walk into a party and there is someone who wants to get with you and you want to get with them, it'll probably happen. It's just a matter of getting into those situations. Think about the last few social outings you've had and think of the percentages, the ratio of guy to girl. Compare that with your success and just the vibe of the room.
