Summary: i cant pull girls like i used to. Maybe there are underlying problems I can fix.

I don't know what happened. Like a lot of us, I can here because I was torn from an old relationship. After taking a few lessons I became a "cold heartless playboy". I had plates but I was still trying to look for a LTR. Eventually I gave up because a jealous white knight ex-bf called me out and systematically told every girl that just looking at me would get you pregnant. At that point I was weary of the whole scene. I went partial MGTOW. I would take breaks from time to time and have a plate here and there but I was mostly celibate. I was like this since October.

Fast forward to now. I'm getting the itch again. A lot of the old plates are still trying to latch onto me for LTR but I have absolutely no interest in that, or at least with them. However the pool of suitable plates has replenished and a lot of the of them are quite attractive to me. I'm different from some of the guys here because I don't want to be competitive, I want to dominate this game. But I lost the magic it seems. I can't even pull attraction from 7/10s or at least when i do, its quickly diminished. I used to be able to butter up a girl and plate her within a week. Now I'm vaginally destitute.

Now I do recognize some problems. I've really slacked on my health, career, and other stuff. I've been smoking weed a lot more, stopped going to the gym, stopped looking for better job. Is that my problem or is my game really that lacking? Or has the game changed since I left? Personally, I never really did any PUA stuff. I was always able to attract women solely based on how I conduct myself and or my looks. I never had to read up on PUA articles or guides. I know a huge weakness I have is texting and any sort of non face-to-face interaction.

Lessons learned: stop smoking weed, hit the weights again.
