Hi I'm Thotwrecker and I'm here to help. But you have to be honest.
What do you honestly look like? Could you lean up some, get a professional haircut, torch your shitty wardrobe, and learn how to actually groom your face? That's 2 points right there, which gets you from a 5 to a 7.
Where are you approaching girls? Day game? Cool, day game is easy but you typically don't get fucks sameday unless you really know what you are doing. Your goal should be numbers.
Keep it simple - chances are you suck ass at conversation. You are trying so hard and you want it so bad, and you care so much - a rejection means you are a fucking loser and you don't want to be a loser. So you go into set with this neediness - you need a good outcome to feel good about yourself.
Be honest. You are bad at talking to women. You are unattractive. OK.
Take a deep breath, it's going to be OK. Unattractive men can navigate their dicks into pussy too, they have to just cure their unattractiveness first. That's why we are here.
Next time you are out, just look to get their number. Do not try hard to have the perfect line - I like to go in with DUMB AUTISTICALLY BAD lines because it shows I'm not really trying to pick her up (even though of course she knows the deal). For example I don't want to sound too smart or like I'm trying to put my best foot forward. For example, the other day I was at this pretentious ass coffee place buying a 5 dollar pourover and this girl was sitting with her laptop, headphones in. I motion for her to take them out and just say "hey do you think this coffee is better than dunkins? IDK"
Turns out she works there and is a huge coffee snob, and I just keep bullshitting like "yeah it's kinda good I think I taste a hint of char and smoke, like a ashy refined musk. Here try it" while she's defending the coffee and acting so outraged.
So for 10 minutes or so, we aren't actually trying to get to know each other or asking like "so... are you from around here?" or anything like that. It's very important to keep it stupid and light and shitty. Don't look like you are trying to make a real connection.
Then she's like "OK, so why are you here then if you are such an anti-coffee hipster."
So I don't want to get trapped just being her entertainment. Time to fuck or walk. "To meet hipster girls with nose rings."
"But I don't have a nose ring" --> she is already inserting herself into this narrative and qualifying herself, she's already a part of the bubble now.
Look her up and down. Smile, be relaxed. "You'll do. I have to run now though but let me grab your number."
See, it's not about saying good things. You're probably thinking my angle and what I said was stupid as shit. But to her, it's entertaining because A) it's not what everyone talks about and B) it's showing that I am perfectly fine with the interaction flunking completely because I'm saying shit that normal guys would think won't work.
Do you have the convo skills to do something like that? Can you vibe and riff on stupid, really brainless shit with a girl and just bust on her in a fun way? If you can't do that, you won't get far with public pickup. Day game is easy, but it's really really hard to get to the point where you are comfortable enough to just vibe in public.
I used to get all stressed out by others watching because when you are in a cuck city, everyone kind of eye rolls and watches in jealousy / schadenfreude hoping your pick up crashes and burns. This used to put me on edge and I'd only use boring safe material when I knew others nearby could hear what I'm saying. Do you do that?
What I'm getting at is you probably suck ass socially and you probably can amp up your SMV 2 points. Dedicate 6 months to fixing yourself (socially and SMV) and do nothing else. Just socialize / flirt and workout / improve appearance. That is it. Do that and you'll start to get better results.
The key here is that as a noobie, you cannot visualize your own progress. Because if you started this shit as a 3 and you improved to a 5, that may be a great deal of triumph and hard work to you, but in the dating market a 5 and a 3 are both undesirable. Chicks don't treat you any better because you are both invisible, one is not more invisible than the other. See what I'm saying? You have to push and push and push to 7.5-8 before you actually see changes in how you are treated. And you have to get to 8.5-9 before you can just pick bitches up in public or in clubs.

Im 5'11" 200 lbs with a decent amount of muscle on my frame,
Body fat percentage? This is heavy unless you're really built.
"having confidence" to "putting myself out there" and even "get a hobby
This is bullshit advice and certainly nothing TRP advocates. "Putting yourself out there" actually sounds like female self-talk.
Hobby? Fuck that, get on your mission and make your mission your life.
"being myself" (I am inherently a polite and respectful person by nature) is a load of bullshit.
Stick around here more, because it sounds like you're expecting conventional blue pill advice to work. It doesn't, it's designed to keep you as a sexless provider for women.
All of the pressure is on the men to perform and demonstrate value and show that we can serve women in some way.
Yes, it is. Although the "serving" should be "with your dick" rather than anything else.
Most guys my age have decent looking women in my lives yet I cannot for the life of me get one.
No they don't. They REALLY don't. That's a statistical impossibility - you're only looking at the guys with girls, not the guys without.
What should I do?
Lift, bodyfat down to 8-10% (ie show some definition). Lose the fat off your face. I am fairly sure [but not certain] from your post that you are overweight. Not clinically.... but in terms of attractiveness to women.
Read the sidebar and revel in your anger some more. Stay angry, get motivated.
Good work on approaching women. There's basically four problems men have with women:
Not approaching/meeting/chatting any women up. (not your problem OP, well done)
Not being attractive (physically, emotionally)
Not escalating
Fucking it up
So what to do: lose bodyfat (probably, not certain), realise that cold approach is very hard (women are irrationally fearful of strange men, even attractive ones) and this will take time and practice to master (you SHOULD do it, but don't beat yourself up about not succeeding right away), lift more .. lift a LOT more (muscles, T-boost, discipline).
Don't rapport seek. Do escalate. You're probably not fucking it up other than being TOO NICE. Almost certainly coming across as asexual. You want her to be terrified you are going to stretch her open with your dick while she gives in to her animal desires and begs for it .... rather than her thinking "well, he seems nice".
Talking of which.... eye contact. Laser eye contact. Not all the time... but when you do it.... peer into her fucking soul. This should be slightly scary for her, and it's part of pushing her buttons as a man.
Oh, but don't overdo it. Alternate deep eye contact with ignoring her.
Whether it be asking outright, or building rapport for 10 - 15 minutes of talking to see if she is responsive.
Asking for anything outright will work only rarely. "Building rapport" and "seeing if she is responsive" are not the right approach.
You want to be ATTRACTIVE to her. This means non-needy (not looking for anything AT ALL from her, including approval and rapport). In fact you want to be challenging and rapport-breaking.
She's fundamentally attracted to power. More power than she has. Rapport and looking for responsiveness seeking? Unattractive. Being cocky and funny and charming and not giving a fuck and being distant and aloof? Attractive.
Escalating is attractive (so long as you don't care about outcome). Teasing is attractive.
I know it's hard to act like the prize when you're not treated like it. This is why it's hard for men - we have to build everything out of nothing.
Ignore the conventional advice because it's complete horseshit as you've found out - that's why this place exists. Read the sidebar. Understand more about what you want, about how girls operate, deeply viscerally understand that they're just frightened little girls and how badly they need a big strong man to protect them from the world and show them a good time.
[–]Alex_642146[S] -1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Thanks for the advice. I am 16% bodyfat so I am by no means overweight btw. I'm cutting down to 190 though.
[–]Senior EndorsedMattyAnon2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I am not sure you can accept what I'm about to say, but I will try:
With women, you're either hot (top 10% short-term attractiveness) or you pay (with money or commitment). This is AF/BB.
Women are NOTHING like men, so if you're still stuck in "women are the same as us really and just want the same things, you just need to find the right woman and give her everything, and then you get sexual equality" ... if you're stuck in that mode, snap out of it now because it's a lie designed solely to make you pay.
If you're top 10%, dating is a straightforward matter of chatting up women - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but women come easy and they want to stick around.
Women are only attracted to top 10% men. The rest do not exist to her, they are occasionally useful, but that's it.
This is NOT the case for women. Men like average (young) women. Average height, average build, average facial features. Unattractive women are because they have things non-average or things actually wrong with them - lacking facial symmetry (indicates bad background or bad genes), or have non-average physical features.
The main exceptions are indicators of youth (smooth skin) and indicators of liking you (dilated pupils, flushed cheeks, redder lips) - women fake these with makeup.
In short... if you want to get girls (even normal girls, not even the hot ones) without paying (money, commitment, dates) you need to be top 10% attractive.
You cannot buy your way out of this. Many many men try, and they find they are paying more than they expected to and getting far less.
16% body fat isn't ridiculous, but it's not great. It's extremely unlikely to be your most attractive weight. It's normal, it's what most men are (very roughly), but you can do better.
200 to 190 will lose 5% bf, and 11% is closer to where you should be (9-10%). Good work for getting on it.
Not saying "body fat is everything", but it's definitely one thing.
What else is going on.. not sure. Read the sidebar, do you what you can. Be angry... but not directly at women because this isn't attractive. Shit tests are often designed to eliciit any bad things about you - being angry is an easy way to fail and keep failing them.
[–]Alex_642146[S] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Okay. Will do so. Thanks. Finishing my cut under 190 is only half the battle. Next the plan is to lean bulk to 210 - 215 over the next 2 years. I want that Conan the barbarian look. Do alot of guys around here lift?
[–]Senior EndorsedMattyAnon0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Impossible to know. Most say they do.

watch things change for you sub 13%
[–][deleted] 10 points11 points12 points 9 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link
Not assuming you haven't tried these, but if you haven't some things to consider
Is your posture firm, proper eye contact, are you beating around the bush?, is your conversation inciting emotion? (MOST IMPORTANT), are you hitting on multiple girls in the same area (are they seeing you fail with multiple girls?)
And btw, remember the redpill, being a "kind and respectful human being" is for people you actually care about, the woman you are making advances on has done NOTHING to deserve such treatment, yet.
[–]Alex_642146[S] -1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link
Guess it's time to treat women like a thug would then. I really got nothing to lose at this point.
[–]moonpodrising5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
Okay. Maybe. What would that entail? What specific actions would you take?
You're here for advice, right? So put forward some examples, so the experienced RP dudes can tell you if your ideas are good or not.
[+]Alex_642146[S] -7 points-6 points-5 points 9 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
Instead of approaching, introducing myself, talking to them flirting, checking to see if they're responsive, and then asking for the number; just walk up, give them a slap on the ass and tell them "bitch get in my car".
Or when they tell me they have a boyfriend, tell em "who gives a shit? I'll fuck you and then he can go fuck himself. Sound good?"
you guys keep saying that women don't deserve respect right? So I will stop treating them with it.
[–]Endorsed ContributorBluepillProfessor8 points9 points10 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No pua would recommend that Approach.
[–]moonpodrising3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
By all means, go ahead with that if you so choose. Make sure to write field reports!
Is that how you really want to behave, but you're holding back because of your idea of 'respect'? You think it'd get you the results you want?
[–]Alex_642146[S] -5 points-4 points-3 points 9 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Probably not. But it would make me feel a little bit better. Get some revenge since I've put all this work into approaching just to get nothing out of it. I can't tell anybody i know how i feel since weakness is frowned upon, so I'm going to just let my inner rage out abit. Who knows i might end up pulling one with a really low self esteem.
[–]cherryCanSuckMyDick2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
But it would make me feel a little bit better. Get some revenge since I've put all this work into approaching just to get nothing out of it.
But will you really be happy once you've had your "revenge"? Your true goal is to bang a woman, not get revenge on her in some bizarre way.
Id be willing to bet any money your true problem is body language. Most people, myself included, have a long list of subtle behaviours that hold us back from being everything we could be because most of how other people see us is driven by everything other than what we say. IIRC the breakdown of communication goes roughly 5% words, 45% how you say those words, and 50% body language.
Take a minute to think about that and cool down. You're going to get to where you want to be with women, you just need to be patient.
[–]Alex_642146[S] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Okay. I understand. Starting to chill out. I'm just sick of not getting anywhere with this one thing in my life everybody else seems to manage okay with. What are some good self help books I can pick up?
[–]cherryCanSuckMyDick0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I hear you bud. Life as a man is hard, and almost noone you will meet will recognize that. The good thing is you're here, in the right place to figure out how to make things work.
As for what to read, Id say definitely get started on the sidebar like everyone says, but I want you to read this first.
Search "Stoicism 101: A Primer on How to Be" in this subreddit and read it. (Id link to it directly but the auto-moderator bot is removing my comment every time I try to link directly for some reason)
My life has been in a similar phase to where you are right now and worse not all that long ago, and what that post talks about hits home on how life should be lived IMO. I think itll help more than anything else right now.
If you ever want to talk, feel free to send me a PM

Your story sounds exactly like trying to turn on the ignition, without having enough gas in tank. The car won't start, no matter what you do.You can be angry about it, complain or you can fill the tank. Unfortunately there is fuel gauge in real life, you must locate the empty tank yourself, that's where redpill comes in handy. Maybe its your dressing sense, maybe its your body posture, maybe its the way you talk/look at someone, maybe its the way you make eyecontact, maybe its your breath, maybe its something you just are oblivious about, I dont know. Rejection is the part of process, so no big deal. You are 23 and taking social risks, makes you the 1%, rest only dream of doing what you are doing. "Just be yourself" IS a feminist imepretive, that slows down your self improvement, as stated in *The Rational Male. Take time, read the side bar, keep improving and keep trying the redpill way. One more thing , your posts has enough evidence that you need to leave your beta behaviour or you haven't read anything about redpill. *Why are you comparing yourself with others and why is the woman the prize ? You are the prize!. You play base and guitar, fine, but for what, or for whom? Only to get laid? Than its not a genuine hobby! Maybe you chose it not because you wanted to, or enjoyed it but I chose it bcuz all kul guyz r doin it! If thats the way it is, better go to some other forum. Redpill is holy grail of retaining masculanity in a feminine imperative environment and teaching to Make Men Great Again.
[–]Alex_642146[S] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I didn't know you guys had a side bar. I will check it out. Thanks for the support.
No I play guitar and bass because I genuinely want to get better at them. I just threw that hobby out there because pathfinder, magic the gathering, and video games don't qualify as "girl approved hobbies" that make you a slayer.
[–]jackandjill220 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
OP's post has a lot of problems just from how it's written you can tell. You're doing something wrong.
[–]NeoreactionSafe4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
That statement says you have already lost the Game.
Game means that:
By believing that you must "perform" you signal lower position.
Maybe next time you bark like a dog and plead her to throw a stick in the park so you will chase it?
...that's what you are doing wrong.
Get her to chase you as you must be the prize not her.
Actually barking like a dog would be such mockery of beta male neediness that doing it could be funny enough to make you win the Game for once.
Stop losing the Game all the time... stop being the puppy and doing tricks for her.

I am inherently a polite and respectful person by nature
See, that is how a beta thinks. An alpha, by contrast, is inherently self-centered and disrespectful. Women can tell you're not genuinely an alpha. What's needed is a change in self.

So I'm not allowed to be a decent human being to the opposite sex?
[–]butitsallovernow7 points8 points9 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sexuality is primal. It is instinctual. You can observe sexuality in mice. There is nothing uniquely human about sexuality.
Therefore, it is necessary to take ethics (a much later development) out of the equation. Ethics is a human, sociological concept. Sexuality is something we are born with.

Just be real. Do you want to screw them or not? If you do then convey that attitude.
[–]Shaman66241 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Are you really a decent human being? You're probably the only one out of 7 billion. Human beings aren't decent.
Sounds to me like your just too weak spirited to break through social conventions and show your true self. You mistake your persona which has learned to be "polite and respectfull" for your true primal sex driven instincts.
Think about it, long ago when there where no laws how would the strongest man in the tribe behave? Polite and respectfull? Would he ask a woman: hey can I please stick my penis in your vagina? if it isn't a bother ofcourse? ... Oh you already have a boyfriend... Yeah no ofcourse I'll get you some water...
[–]Endorsed ContributorBluepillProfessor1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
After you cum in her yes. If the goal is to cum in her then being attentive and "nice" won't work so no. Girls want a man who takes charge and doesn't take prisoners. Not a guy desperate to please them. If you want to go that route then start dating 30 somethings. You will get crazy sex. Until you commit.

Thomas Edison was told he was too stupid to learn anything. It took him one thousand attempts at the light bulb before he got it right.
Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before he succeeded with the automobile.
Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.

Find a social niche where there are women and gain status. If you play bass, is it in band?

Maybe you just look bad.
Your putting all of this effort into hobbys, building rapport and that "load of bullshit" and getting nothing out of it of course you would be angry.
You have had sex with one old woman your entire life, use all that effort make some money and fuck a dozen whores. Run game on the side and you will be way less stressed out because your already satisfied.
[–]Alexinfinite010 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hard to say. Perhaps some of this frustration is leaking out subliminally in your conversations with these women and effecting the outcome more than you realize?
Try hitting on low hanging fruit for a while. Tinder or club and hit on women who are 5's and 6's. The term "starter girl" is perhaps mean but true. This might allow for a total tear down of what you're doing and give you a chance to start your techniques fresh on a new canvas

That's the reason why I'm here though. To get advice and support, and your advice sucks because if you actually read my post, you'd know I am putting alot of effort into this, probably too much because of the comments telling me to work on my neediness.
[–]nicetimeisback1 point 9 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
You are doing good, now study this anger of you..
You are trying to impress random women, being nice (a decent human being), and you are just getting shit back all the time.
Evolutionary principles would tell you to learn from this experience, and anger is an indication, telling you that maybe you was wrong.
Maybe women are not decent human beings and maybe they don't deserve to be treated as such, nor they like decent human beings (nice guys) to waste their time..
Keep going, you'll be ok
