How much should you study game?

You should barely read any theory. One day of walking around hitting on girls is worth more than a year of reading Internet forums

All those theories and methods can be boiled down, for example the 'The Sixteen Commandments Of Poon'. Read it if you like, but the most valueable path is experience! Especially failure. Read the chapter 'Let Yourself Fail!' in the Book of Pook.

I just bought "Bang" and "Day Bang" by Roosh V and started doing what's in the book. Don't overthink it. You waste time by watching all those YouTube PUAs and reading posts online. Get out and start talking, you will learn from your mistakes.

I read the Book of Pook and Models. Now, I'm done reading about game. I'm putting myself out there to make mistakes and get rejected. People wanting to read and read are just erecting barriers to not be rejected.

Game is amazing! :)
Focus on understanding the model behind it, it's pretty much the same for all lines of it. This is the gold it will offer you.
Understand what raises your SMV, what are demonstrations of higher value, and demonstration of lower value. This is silver.
Delivery, body postures and technique, this is the bronze.

You'll see that you'll get the gold with one day studying, maybe the silver with another day, the bronze might take you a week and some videos.

All else is MATERIAL. Focus on how to write it. Read some to pick up some ideas.

To sum up, the algorithm is, pick up the gold, silver and bronze. A week of workdays plus gym sounds about enough, a weekend if you're going to be nerdy about it.
Then you go and read Material. It has an effect of raising your confidence. Once it's high enough, go out, get busted, repeat. :)

Experience helped me more than any book ever did.

Studying = doing. Read a book to get ideas about what to try. Actually do to find what works for you.
