I genuinely wonder how many sexual partners is considered too many here. I always see guys talking about their game and getting hookups but these are the same guys who are so impulsive they can’t find a meaningful long term relationship because they have no self control and act on those impulses.
There’s men I work with who say their body count is 80+ (that’s a fucking lie unless they have no standards) and who are so against marriage it’s kind of sad.
For me anything more than 10 is a lot. If you have had 20+ sexual partners then I won’t touch you with a 10 foot pole. If I was a woman and a man told me his body count was over 10 I would find it very unattractive. I would hope it’s the same for women but idk I haven’t asked any

You're trying to come off like a good guy but then slut shaming anyone with a high body count.. lmao
[+]AmmoTuff182 -19 points-18 points-17 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
There's nothing wrong with slut shaming lmao. It shouldn't be encouraged in either gender
[–]Barakaa78 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Feeling free to express yourself sexually should be discouraged then? Cause your numbers are insane. You're basically assuming you should only have sex with someone in a ltr with 10 being too much.

Would you rather have eaten 10 pizzas or +20?

Pussy.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nah mate that's very rude even. Some people will also think that you may be acting this way because of your own insecurities
[–]BallsOfSteeeeel 14 points15 points16 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
lol. If you are 30 and have sex with one girl a year starting at 20, you are at 10. Doesn’t seem like much.
OP is right though. Rejection/getting girls is harder when it’s your main focus. And you have nothing else to talk about. If all you do is game, then that’s all you have to talk about and girls don’t want to hear that shit.
You get better with girls the better your life is and more stuff you have going on in it anyway.
Short term: it’s easy to go try and find a girl and trick her into a night of fun.
Long term: it’s a lot harder to get your entire life in order but the end result is better and then you can get girls easier.
[–]MalibuProducer77 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes exactly!!! That seduction shit holds no weight and really no value. "I finally banged her!" Yeah, but now what's next? You got that Lamborghini in your driveway yet? Or that million dollars in your bank account? Or better yet, did you achieve your dreams?? Chasing purpose is ALWAYS going to be more satisfying and more worth it than chasing girls. Plus, when you become successful, the girls come anyway regardless.

I just got a job offer for $62k after making $0 for 13 months at age 25. I've only had 4 lifetime dates and I'm a virgin. I'm not bad looking, but could use some improvement. But the place I'm going to work at is 85% male. Am I doomed again, or will I be spending time at bars and clubs?
[–]BallsOfSteeeeel 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Kinda depends on what you want and what you are looking for in a girl. Also, what do you enjoy doing?
If you want a fling/party girl, then go to clubs. But if that isn’t your thing, maybe it would be better finding a girl doing a hobby you enjoy
Far from doomed! Lol. Sounds like you are in a pretty good position. You just need a few tips and experience. Dating is just like anything else. The more time and practice you put into it, the better you will be at it. I’d be down to help you out if you want.
[–]CloutComputing 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I like hiking and other outdoors things. I am also into photography and have a drone and mirrorless camera. Eventually I want to learn how to play the guitar. I also rowed in college.
The bars also have party chicks, I don't know if that's what I want.
Apps are similar.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Take a step back and think of this for a second. If a girl fucks once a weekend for an entire year her body count is 52. That’s if she fucks one different guy every Saturday. That’s one year of college bro.
my numbers!!1!

[–]MO_drps_knwldg 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
This is why the PUA/dating coach mindset is inherently flawed. This approach puts women and their approval at the center of their personal universe. Success is superficial and typically short lived, and when rejection happens, they crumble.
[–]5_7pickup 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I dont think so. I do pickup because it's a social skill that I want to improve.
Rejection always happen and the best coaches don't crumble. Hell rejections dont even phase me anymore.
[–]ketchup308 11 points12 points13 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Youre not my dad. My hobbies are getting rejected and CA. That's how I make my money... When they put change in my cup.
[–]minuteman_d 19 points20 points21 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's something that I've heard called "wholeness giveaway syndrome". It's normal and natural, but not healthy to "give away" your sense of self and wholeness to a relationship or relationships. It's only when you love yourself for who you are, and work to improve yourself and work to develop hobbies and happiness that you will be really effective at finding a good relationship.
There's an interesting community and course that you might want to check out. I have no affiliation with them, other than I like their content (including their YouTube channel)

This is the thing: PUA selling boot camps are feeding on your insecurity. None, or very very few are guiding you how to be a better, well rounded man. Because that's the key. Having your shit together is what it's about, not mindlessly approaching women.
[–]Thierr 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I'm successful in dating but I'm not happy... Its all my life is. I'm trying to figure out how I can change this but it feels like I'm stuck in a loop.
I don't really like anything else, I have no passions or activities I like to do other than being on my computer and traveling. I want to start a hobby but I don't like anything. Please help :(
[–]YoungCapoon 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Just try new things stop for a second and truly reflect. Look back at your childhood memories of how u maybe saw your older self being

Just got dumped on the forth date, fitting advice bro
[–]Jakewadewood 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
what happened brother?
[–]L15A1 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago* (4 children) | Copy Link
Everything going fine. She was very inexperienced (did not even make out with someone) and we accidentally met in a bar with a couple of friends and made out. We had a second date with some hand action, but after she told me It was going to fast for her. I told her, that I could wait, so on the next date we did nothing physical.
Today she texted me (before our date), that she only wants intimacy with people who she already knows well and that she didn't like the way we met. It came totally unexpected.
I do not know... I have encountered rejection so often in my life, that I think it might be better to stop dating altogether. It is very frustrating, all my friends are in relationships. I had some, but the were always short time a couple of months max.
[–]Jakewadewood 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
That sucks man. Honestly sounds like a scapegoat to me covering up some deeper rooted personal problems. You gotta keep putting yourself out there dude. Eventually someone will come along
[–]L15A1 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

[–]SuaveFuck 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
two things will destroy a man:
a) she's the only one that can make me happy
b) when i get to date her, it has to end in my bed or my life is over.
you might as well play russian roulette.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Do whatever the fuck you want to do.
If you wanna spend all your time on girls do it! I would love to have the capability and time to do that.
[–]Throwaway902ve 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Except just as anyone who's done that will tell you, it gets v unfulfilling v quickly. Obviously do what you want in life - but my advice is primarily aimed towards people who are finding the whole seduction thing to be mentally taxing when it doesn't have to be.

I think we're talking about slightly different things when we say seduction. I definitely agree that developing strong social skills is a huge benefit. It's been a huge benefit to me. I don't think this is synonymous with seduction tho, even if there is an overlap
[–]VDKay 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If by "seduction" you mean going out every night to the same clubs, or going out every day doing daygame, and you approach girls in the same manner, with the sole purpose of getting them to say "yes" when you ask them to give your their number of come to your house, then yes, it sounds redundant and unfulfilling. But I think that the vast majority of people here refer to "seduction" as the process of (re-)learning social patterns, developing emotional intelligence and honing of that skill-set that will make you an attractive male. It doesn't matter what your end-goal is (increase body count, get over a breakup, find a high-value partner), as long as each day you come out as a bit better person as you were yesterday
[–]5_7pickup 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Pickup is just a social skill man. It's just the most practical way of improving such social skills.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, when seduction is your primary goal in life, you'll likely find a woman, but be unable to keep her around long-term
[–]Throwaway902ve 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Ask anyone who's had that as their main purpose - at best it's kinda unfulfilling and at worst traumatising/extremely stressful
[–][deleted] 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
[–]Throwaway902ve 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
True. To clarify, the point of my post isn't that dating shouldn't be your main objective/hobby, but rather that it shouldn't be your only goal in life.
I would give the same advice to an author - have balance and things you can work towards when your main objective isn't providing you what it needs to.
[–]Canadian-Seductioner 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Seduction and hobbies do go hand in hand, but it's also very possible to keep seduction as your #1 priority if you are combining it with your hobbies.
[–]Throwaway902ve 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I do agree, I think the issues come when you don't have any kind of balance/release to complement the sometimes stressful dating experience.
Btw I recognised your username from those Hinge posts you made a while back - they were hella helpful
[–]Canadian-Seductioner 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes 100%. If the only thing you have going on in your life is dating, then it will actually negatively impact your game. I've spent the past month going on non-stop dates so to some, it may seem like it's my only priority, but I'm also combining it with weekend roadtrips and city adventures so it's not the only thing going on in my life. That being said, I am definitely heavily focused on it and have been seeing lots of success.
For beginners to game though, yeah you really need to work on building yourself and your social circle via hobbies before you can actually consider going on dates because if you have nothing to talk about with a girl, you're not going to get anywhere.
Thanks for the kind words btw!
[+]scenesick2 -9 points-8 points-7 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
If your #1 goal in life is to bang as many girls as possible then don't follow this advice.
[–]Mshalopd1 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If that's your number 1 goal in life....sheesh
[–]uniballpenman 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It should not be. Even if you strive to be a pua coach, they still typically have more than their body count going for them.
[–]B3asy 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I hope you're joking
[–]Pringles__ 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Approach seduction as another hobby/objective, not as your only one, not as the most important one.
Agreed! I would never spend days thinking/stressing about a bad workout I had as it's not my whole world. Just as I wouldn't spend days thinking about a flake/rejection because it's not my whole world either
[–]chinamcdonald 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
lowkey, i just want to get locked up and chill, but why does it feel like I have to do a million different things in self development to achieve this?
[–]Worried_Rip2933 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You should never make your happiness depend on someone else, we cannot control what others feel and how they behave. Peace must be within you!
[–]Hot-Construction-811 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
2 months ago, I got out of a relationship. Then a month ago, I started dating another girl but I am taking it really slow. if she is not available or super late in getting back to me i am just like meh. ive got other side projects i want to do in the mean time. we will sort something out. funny enough there will be days that I just don't think about my next date but i know it is coming up.
[–]galih_ken 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Hobbies cost money. I'm broke and desperate.
There are plenty of free/cheap hobbies out there. You could be broke, desperate but also well rounded lol
VERY true. I hit the gym, practice martial arts and hang out with friends daily in college.

This is very true, I learnt this exact lesson this week
What if I wanna get involved in seduction in a professional way (e.g. coaching)?
[–]MisterShogunate 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Seduction is my hobby so it’s my priority. Talking to women in any place you go, coming up with clever shit to be funny and interesting and then potentially getting laid is the best hobby out there.
The majority of men just freak the fuck out at the thought of talking to a random girl when it literally means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Additionally, real skills are built and improve in the long term.
All the women I meet feed into my social circle and my business contacts. It brings me so many benefits beyond getting laid.
Thank you, finally someone who understands. Pickup is my only hobby now. I fucking love this game.
If I didnt start doing pickup 4.5 weeks ago, I might be depressed as fuck right now. Instead I've slept with 2 different girls this week and the weekend hasn't even started yet.
Pickup is my hobby. Why go through all these hoops to achieve abundance and shit when you can go straight to the source. Do pickup and you'll literally have an abundance of girls.
Rejections don't phase me at all because I've been through a hundred at this point.
Oneitis? I slept with 2 different girls this week. These two girls have oneitis for me =/
