Ive absorbed so much RP/PUA content over the last 6/7months and yet I deny myself from action.

Im begining to find RP and BP stuff irrelevant if you have no leads, no relationships and don't really meet new people. Sure Ive slept with people ranging from 4-7s/10, the last being a 7 after reading the game so I knew there must be something to it.

I used to hang out with girls in the past so I thought I'd have a better starting point yet find it difficult to rarely do any sets.

I met a PUA coach and he winged me, I got a close (7/10), it flaked after a while. I did another couple sets on my own on different days and got one close (8/10) which again flaked. Currently this stuff just pisses me off, I do the 1hr 15mins travel to central London (such as today) I find myself aimlessly walking around not doing sets and getting intensely depressed as it feels Im wasting my life and want to revert to alcohol or do other things which may or maynot improve my mood as I'd still be in scarcity.

Ive been on tinder in the past, even last month to try the "easy" beta way as I know a guy who does well on it due to high SMV (abs) but alpha uncalibrated messaging strategies...aka, what you up tonight, want some fun ect.. ect.. Anyway, I must of swiped 400 times right and looked at the 3, 5/10 pigs that popped up after a week, tried to engage conversation with them, it was a boring struggle even for girls with low SMV and general life value, one was a pro mum, one worked in a shitty shop ect..

My own SMV is probably 5-6/10: Mid to late 20s A bit overweight, I do gym (weights 4 times per week, sports team on weeks, count macros and stopped drinking) Fairly cool job (media/arts) Wear boots, fitted jeans, graphic t's or shirts.. rocky style ect.. Have hobbies such as a sports team, music and art which people say I'm good at, it has helped DHV.... I do not have a high ego I understand the rules/ lines to PUA encounters and have indulged in hours and hours of online content, read Tom Torreros text book, the rational male 1, 2 and working on the third ect..

The last set I tried in a shop (today) the girl just kept looking at the clothes and said I scared her as she was in her own little world, then that fucked up my rhythm, kept stacking rather than vibing, she kept walking slightly away and at other clothes... I left feeling bad and doing a beta set.

Doing this just makes me feel shit but I feel there is no other way, why am I wasting so much fucking time walking around like a mental case doing nothing, I just get demotivated, tired and depressed. I understand why many men just settle for a hog then become a hog and kill themselves via alcohol to fund the lives of their offspring.

Any advice?

TLDR: Finding it hard to do PUA sets, not sure why, will I just become an incel or marry the first crump of LTR vagina that comes my way? Not sure. General rant for any advice.
