Quick (but somewhat vague) question

Is there some benefit to jumping out of a plane with a parachute on your back, other than landing safely on the ground? Yes, there is. A 30 second free fall thrill, where you just enjoy the moment. Then you pull the cord, and you either live or die. You don´t jump out of the plane because you want to land safely (then you might as well stay at home), you do it because of those 30 seconds.

It´s the same with approaching girls in random settings. You do it because of the thrill of the situation. And just as people go from jumping out of planes to base jumping, always escalating the activity, so will you. When you stick your neck out, you will get comfortable after a while. Then you push yourself into whatevever else you don´t feel comfortable with. And THAT is the benefit.

The main benefit from my POV is that when you come across a girl you really want, you'll be at the top of your game since you are out there practicing and improving it on a regular basis.

The balance between this and how much time you want to invest is entirely up to you, of course. You don't need to spend 12 hours a week doing this shit if you don't want to. But if you only talk to chicks once every two years, don't be surprised to find yourself stumbling a bit when you do...

Look man, the point is, you life your life for You. If you don't want to pick up club skanks, no one is saying you have to. The whole premise of this is to take control of your own life and your manhood, and all that goes along with it.

Is it worth it to try? Of course it is. Don't think of it like picking up girls, think of it like practicing your social skills with sexuality in mind.

I view approaching people (girls in particular) as both a boost to confidence and often a lot of fun (yay endorphins), and also like working out a muscle. The boost in confidence will help you in other areas of your life, while regularly opening people, even if you don't want to hook up, works out your 'pick-up' muscle so you're prepared when you do want to hook up with someone.

Well, it always boosts confidence, so why not? But if you've tried it a few times and don't like it, then don't do it. If you get laid in other ways, who gives a fuck?

I need to get doing this. Too many times I see a girl I like the look of, sometimes she looks at me and to be honest that's enough, to get the feeling that you know the girl would fuck you. In the end only a few times have I actually gone up to a girl randomly and the others are all wasted opportunities that I just get an ego boost from. Need to take the jump more and more often.

What do you want? what expectation do you have? I think picking up girls it the most fun thing a guy can do in this narcissistic and shallow world. And not just for the fuck of it, but it's the fastest way to connect with someone at a human level.*

*Disclaimer, I do not game at night, I find it is a meat market and the bitches behind the bitch shields are rarely worth the effort.
