I was reading the 'how do some guys do it' thread from a few days back. I like threadd like that and they Always make me think about people in my own life

I of course have a few 'chad' friends, but It's not even worth mentioning them.

Girls throw themselves at them on nights out. They don't need 'game'. ESPECIALLY with online dating. Sometimes they meet young girls who turn up at their house from tinder like a free prostitute and they barely even speak before just hooking up like booty call. 'personality' or game isn't even a concern for these guys in general.

But as I say, these guys make up a small percent of mega lucky guys and not worth talking about

Then I have other friends who get laid, but, much like with pickup coaches and guys who teach 'game' etc, it's more about volume.

They appraoch lots of girls and try to flirt. Even though most of them haven't studied game, they naturally do the same stuff that the books teach and the coaches do. tease, pushpull, flirt etc. They get rejected lots just like the professional PUA's but eventually they approach one who likes them and they hook up. Same thing as pickup coaches and stuff from what i've seen. Playing the numbers

But this thread made me think about my friend called Dave who i've known from since I was about 14 and now we're in our 30's.

He's never been a 'stud' or the kind of guy who goes out evernight pickup girls. At all (in fact on the rare occassions i've seen him try, its tended to be a very fast rejection.)

BUT he is basically always in a relationship with a fairly hot girl. If he breaks up with a cute girl he has a new girlfriend within 2 weeks. It's amazing. Almost a running joke amongst our social gruop. And I have no idea how he does it lol.

As I say, he never got any success with cold approach. His personality is honestly what i'd call 'boring'. He's a nice guy. But he doesn't do or act like how we are taught we should behave. (confident, charasmatic, loud, fun etc). He's a pretty boring dude!!

He meets the girls through work and social groups etc. Also had some very hot girlfriends in school and college when younger who, again, he'd meet in class etc

All I could say in his favour (his looks are maybe very SLIGHTLY above average) is that maybe there's something about him that is quite masculine? I don't even know how to verbalise it, really. Not even sure it's tangilble. Maybe I only think that because he was the first one to be able to grow facial hair and stuff when we were kids and he was stronger than we were lol. Maybe it's a vibe he gives off. An energy? He comes across as maybe NOT super 'confident' or anything, but certainly very 'calm'? Maybe 'capable' but not especially 'confident' or 'charasmatic'. And the other thing in his favour vs most guys is that i'm pretty sure he has zero inhibition about making a move on a girl and asking her out. 'brave' in that respect I guess you could say. I feel like that's one of the things that separates him, possibly

edit: just thought of a random memory about him. He used to ring me up to chat, but he'd have NOTHING to say. He'd call ME and then expect me to carry all of the conversation and for me to keep coming up with new topics. Otherwise it'd just be silence!!! If I didn't keep the conversation going, we'd just be sitting in silence on the phone lol. And I felt he was much more comfortable with complete silence on the phone than I was! I'd always 'blink' first!!! lmao. But that maybe gives an insight into part of his personality
