It's really hard for me to say this after doing game for 15 years, but I am starting to think that its a scam and/or a waste of time. Here me out on this:

I was originally inspired to get into pickup after seeing a few well known popular pickup artists get lots of media attention around 2008. I didn't start pickup until about 2016.

When I first started it was very scary to do, and it was very adrenaline like. Being able to walk up to a girl you were afraid of and get the number felt very adrenaline spike like. Over time that feeling has gotten jaded to me and feels like nothing. There is no thrill anymore to approach because a large percent of the girls you approach will not give you the time of day, and the ones you luckily get a number from then there is a whole other dilemma your dealing with (flaky behavior, ghosting, only wanting money from you, only wanting platonic, only wanting marriage). For someone like me with the goal of getting laid it becomes very time consuming and frustrating. Yeah you sometimes might get "lucky" here and there but its still incredibly time consuming. I heard that some of the great pickup artists would only get about 10 percent of all the women they approached. You would have to basically have a fulltime job of just going out walking everyday in a big city (if your lucky to live in a place like NYC), doing random approaches all day long till you finally hit the jack pot. That is still time consuming and at the end of the day time is money. There is also no guarantee your gonna get laid.

I have never had the opportunity to do game in NYC (some day I should try). I'm basing most of my experience in Seattle and/or Vancouver, Canada.

I am starting to wonder if its better to just focus on making as much money as you can and just going to Tijuana for example doing p@y for pl@y, or just p@y in general.

I spent large amounts of time doing approaches and I feel like a majority of it is just frustration and wasted time. Yeah you get the numbers here and there or the dates here and there (short adrenaline spike) , but your still sexless at the end of the day.

What do you all think? am I right? or do I owe it to myself to go to NYC? (I heard its the day game mecca of the USA, not sure anymore)

Which also reminds me, I am not even certain if NYC is still the mecca of day game anymore, isn't NYC home to one of the most liberal/feminist types of women out there. Most feminist women are against age gap relationships (obsessed about power dynamics), and all types of annoying BS.

At the end of the day, if you want to make money by doing pickup approaches all day and making other men think your successful by charging expensive bootcamps , its a free country and you can do that, which I am starting to wonder is the main appeal for pick up artists is selling that image of success to just make money, but who knows, its just not something I can do because I don't feel morally right about deceiving anyone, but that's just me.
