Is it true that progress is exponential?

It's exponential. I started 2 years ago and now I have so many numbers on my phone that I had to buy a 1TB USB drive for them.

It's not so much exponential but rather "you're either doing it right, or your'e doing it wrong."

BTW, I saw you're the guy that said he reads a lot but has never approached. I also just saw your post history and its all shit on places like "foreveralone" and "socialskills." Get off the internet and go approach. You're not going to fix being an antisocial person who has never gotten laid by being on the internet. Get off the internet. Just go talk to people. It might take 5 years for talking to people to lead to sex, but you definitely, definitely aren't going to get laid by reading shit on the internet.

As your confidence builds and your comfort zone grows, you're able to relax more and have more fun while talking to women. You enjoy it more so you do it more, and your skill improves faster. It's a feedback loop.

Exponential seems like the wrong word. I was in field nearly every day for 2 years. Not much happened the first few months but by the end of year one I was getting good and by year 2, I was coach level. I kept having successes that I couldn't have pulled off a few months before. So, yes...as long as you put the work in.

Hardcore extroverts seem to have a more difficult time at first (they have more to work on all at once) and then it gets much easier for them later on.

Progress is a univariate geometric function with first-order discontinuities.

True in the sense that you are pulled down by your weekest key skill. Most of the time you need 2 to 5 years to develop all the key skills necessary to get the desired effect. I would say on the contrary, your growth is always slower as you reach higher levels of competence.

It feels exponential probably because we have a bad sense of memory. It is like learning a language, you keep learning a few words a day then eventually you can start putting together sentences. Then you can start talking. Then eventually you are having conversations.

Absolutely!!! You've heard of the learning curve right?
