I don't really know where to post this because I don't consider myself a pickup artist. I abide by by the "approach whenever" thing, and at 22 I'm usually at bars and clubs. I have had some good success these past few years going out and approaching women. I've had a few dozen pulls in the past few years but I'm just fucking exhausted.

I'm not sure if I'm getting older, or if I'm depressed, but I'm kinda sick and tired of going out to bars/clubs and putting on this fassad under the loud music. Mind you, I don't pretend to be someone I'm not. But opening, catching the attention, picking up on her signals, escalating, pulling, etc is tiring. Not only that, but having to deal with all of the other things a bar entails (her shitty friends, her shitty guy friends, shitty bouncers, people winking at a girl when I'm with her) is getting old. It was exciting being a 19 year old and sneaking into bars, hooking up with older women and beating myself up when I lost out on a good candidate halfway through the night. Now I'm only 22 and I just feel like a 45 year old man who wants sex but doesn't want to go through the work anymore. Approaching women at clubs is tiring and I'm kinda getting sick of it. Anybody else feel the same way?
