4 years ago I started college at a university and I was infatuaeted with pick-up and seduction. I was reading every single bit of material that I could, and I would try what I read wherever I could. Now, I will say I had a rocky and somewhat shitty freshman year that I was out of my own control, but I did approach many women during the day, in the coed dorms I was in, at clubs and parties, etc. Did it for about 2 years, and nothing came of it. I was approaching more women than I could count but none of them where interested. After the first year I tried improving myself as a person and honing the skills (hell I was an anti social people hater for the first 18 years of my life, expecting a 180 in 2 years is kinda far fetched), but even then no woman I approached showed interest. So I stopped, and I figured that it wasn't worth my time. Sure I gained social skills from it but not the thing I wanted.

After that second year I dropped from the university (too expensive and a degree isn't worth the debt in this economy right now) and went back to a CC to take up a trade and finish credits, not too many women, still approached but didn't do PUA stuff. But here I am, 21 years old, 4 years of college under me and I feel stunted with women. I want to have sex with the women that I find attractive, yet according to previous experiences I am unable to do so, even after applying the shotgun theory.

Should I get back to it, restudy everything and keep trying? What keeps you going and continually pursuing your goals with women even after years of never getting anywhere with them?
