I'm starting to think that night game is just a big waste of time... Per the advice of RSD and couple other personal development resources I've spent a lot of time on nightgame in the past year. However, the negatives of nightgame just seem to grow for me:

Drinking, I've been completely sober the vast majority of the time. Which has saved me a lot of money. I've done hundreds of nightgame approaches sober. Although I can tell it makes me a bit of an outsider in the nightlife environment.

Defensive girls, a lot of girls are so unfriendly off the open. I realize this is a thing that takes persistence but I just feel disingenuous working so hard to ingratiate myself with women are mostly losers.

Low quality people, I'm so sick of hanging out with drunks, unemmployed losers, drug addicts, prostitutes and semi-professionals.

Pulling, I'm nowhere near consistent with pulling. It seems so random and so many factors outside my control; her cockblocking friends, competing guys, her being too drunk, not drunk enough, etc.

Smoking, my little brother, none smoker, has had lung cancer multiple times so I'm worried about risk of 2nd hand smoke.

Shitty loud music, can't be good for my hearing long term.

Despite these negatives I do kind of enjoy nightgame and find that I can pretty consistently get into a flowstate of being creative and unfiltered. I don't run of out things to say anymore.

I met a casual girlfriend & got laid a few times. But it mostly just seems like a total blackhole wasting my time, is there some major personal development benefit of nightgame I'm missing?

Meeting girls via Daygame and highly calibrating logistics just seems to make much more sense, but I know a lot of people really swear by night game... Am I missing something?
