I'm not a novice. I've been doing pickup for years and am rather successful at it. At least I was in the past. I know what's needed to run good game. I've closed many many times with some beautiful women. I'm finding that lately, almost no girls are receptive to me anymore. I've got the right positive attitude and I generally don't let it get me down, I move on to the next, but I'm really getting consistent rejection now.

The only thing I can think is that I'm not so young anymore (early 30's) but I don't really look old. Most people tell me I look like late 20's. I'm not a model but I'm an ok looking guy, decent shape. Is it that I'm getting old or are women becoming more difficult? Have others noticed women aren't as receptive to game as they used to be?

(also traveled a lot recently and didn't have these problems with girls outside the US).
