TL;DR: Started volunteering to get in person exposure but got almost no interest from girls. Don't know what else I can work on.

A bit of my background:

  • I have been a regular for over 2 years now and have read a lot of theory and put it into practice. This is a throwaway.
  • Working out regularly for 1.5 years, starting to show good visible results.
  • Characterized as good looking and socially skilled by almost everyone that I talk to. I have put a lot of effort here and it shows.
  • 6'0, 27yo, middle eastern ethnicity but raised in NA.

Till now however the lions share of my sexual experience has came from online which as you know is stacked against men. So I decided to change that and start to volunteer to get some exposure. I signed up at a local huge music concert that attracts A LOT of hot girls. I was volunteering as a bartender. I figured with so much exposure and time to build a rapport with other bartenders I am sure to get some good results.

Well it couldn't have been more disappointing. Interactions with customers were limited and fast paced, so lead to nothing. But worse there was surprisingly little interest from fellow volunteers. I was being social with everyone, making fun connections etc but kept running into defensive, closed off attitude from any attractive girl. Every time that would happen I would divert my attention to others, have some fun and come back... they would ease up a bit but just not enough interest.

Last day I was fed up with this so I decided to take some risk and make moves despite my gut feeling not to. Ran into 2 rejections by girls I'd classify as a solid 2-4 pts below my SMV. Albeit by the time I asked them out I was not in a good state of mind and I am sure it showed but the complete lack of interest boggled my mind.

I honestly don't know how to proceed anymore. I will continue with working out and social skills improvement but it is unlikely to make any huge changes now (I already got them). It would be hard to get better and more quality exposure than what I got during the festival.

Any ideas are appreciated.
