Title is self-explanatory.

Context: friends give off negative vibes/downer vibes when I am out with them trying to game. They won't wing/let me wing them, get nervous+negative around girls and discourage me from approaching. They make up excuses not to approach ("I need the restroom/, I need a drink/ I want to go home" etc). Plus girls sense chode vibes coming off them so that indirectly cockblocks me (e.g. girl says "what's up with your friends/they're weird" etc)

No, I won't ditch my friends, they add value to my life in many other ways, I have known them for years. Also cutting off friends because they suck at game (like the vast majority of people) would alienate you from society and is just not a practical or sensible measure to take.

Bar/club game solo is just low social value, at least here in the UK. You look like an absolute weirdo going out alone, and no security would let you in a bar or club as a solo man because the type of guys who go alone to bars/clubs are fucking weird, creepy, incel, friendless school-shooter types (at least in the UK, other countries+ cultures might be more accepting of lone guys clubbing).

So what are my options?

1) Forget club/bar/night game and only use daygame/Tinder/social circle game (e.g friends' girlfriends setting you up with their single friends)

2) Find specific pickup/wingmen friends who are good at game, or at least put effort in to improve and motivate you too.

3) something else...suggestions below?

Thanks in advance, I am sure others have been in my position
