My dilemma, as a young and unattractive bootstrapping entrepreneur

Are you sure you are that ugly? If it's that bad I suppose there's plastic surgery. I doubt it's at that level. It's more likely that your approach is going wrong.

If you are approaching women that have expressed no interest in you, then you are fighting an uphill battle. Better to generate some initial attraction by being attractive or well-dressed. I'd suggest you hit up MFA and try one of their starter outfits to see where that gets you.

It's a much easier game when the woman has already signaled that she's interested - it'll be a quick glance your way and then looking away, maybe eyes meeting and a smile, possibly touching her hair. It's going to be subtle, but it's an initiation of contact.

Right now you are broke, car less and living with your parents. Your desperation comes through in your post.

Don't actively pursue women, just focus on being observant. Try to figure out which women are interested in you. If you suspect one is interested in you, test that hypothesis. Keep yourself in situations where you might meet someone, keep your eyes open and see what you can learn.

This is in no way a recommendation, but just some food for thought:

Have you considered focusing on your career and using prostitutes for relief? This might take of some of the mental pressure you give yourself and clear your head to achieve that "being rich" that you desire.

Being in really good shape

Good shape != physically attractive

Cross country runners are "in really good shape". They still look like Auschwitz survivors.

I know dudes with less than pretty faces who do well because they

Lift weights
Dress well

Speaking as a guy who's let businesses slip through his hands, and could be a multimillionaire now...

but who also gets laid with multiple women pretty much whenever he wants...

stick with the business and make it WORK.

Turn yourself into the man you want to be. Overcome your thirst and desire for validation from pretty women.

Women love a selfmade man and I see no reason you should slip off that track.

Get the money, chicks will follow.

You have to decide how important a wet hole to hide your dick in is to you. TRP isn't just about getting laid. It's about helping men decide if the juice is worth the squeeze, AND THEN if it is...here's how you squeeze.

Sounds to me like you've already decided you don't have enough spare squeeze, but you think that you're somehow less of a man for pursueing other things with your time. I want to put a kibosh on that now. There's too much focus in the TRP subs about notch count, and it is NOT the be-all-end-all marker of masculinity/alpha.
