I'm a typical nerd that grew up without many women and I'm trying to put this shit together late in the game. Most everything is simple so far; lifting and eating right is hard as fuck, but it's "easy"... approaching is scary as fuck, but it's "easy". One foot in front of the other works for almost all of this.

Where it doesn't, for me, is shit tests. I'm not socially adept and I'm not quick with on-the-spot comebacks. I can agree and amplify with pure absurdity, but I can't do it in a way that's funny or even very smooth. I was garbage at talking shit in highschool and this sort of feels like that and it's irritating the fuck out of me.

Many of the A&A examples I see also seem unrealistic. They're so perfect and well thought out. Is everyone getting pussy really bringing down the Bill Burr heat on these girls all day? Am I just entirely unpracticed and overestimating how hard being good enough is? How the F do I practice without getting destroyed by women for the next 12 months? I can feel myself becoming too paranoid about this already.

Can anyone set me straight?
