All the theory in the world is no substitute for firsthand experience. Use what works, discard what doesn't, and understand that you learn more from failure than you do from success. Put down the books, son. It's go time.

Stop reading shit. Just go out and talk to people, without expecting anything. You're getting theory overload. You have to figure this shit out for yourself. The books are just shit that worked for those guys that may or may not work for you.

A good model is university classwork. Both theory and practice were are important, but you are expected to spend 3 hours on homework for each hour in the classroom. I would use this guideline in your pickup studies as one hour study then 3 hours in field.

A lot of guys get this reversed at first, they do like 3 hours study for every hour in the field. This is alright at first, but only at first. You need to get some basic idea of what you have been doing wrong, and how it really works. So if you just go blindly into social situations without any new knowledge, you'll just do the same things and get the same old results. But you do have to start going out in the field more. You need to start testing what you have learned, get shot down a lot and find out what works and what doesn't, and use these "reference experiences" to help you judge what will work in the future, and to help you decide what new study materials are likely to help you.

One method I used when I was first going out to try these methods, was to learn something, then go out and immediately try to apply it in the field. Each night I would try to improve one specific area, like approaches, posture and attitude, kino, etc. But don't spend all night in your head trying to evaluate your performance, push forward with that idea and evaluate the results later when you get home.

Reading is pointless if you aren't using it in the field and calibrating off the responses you are getting.

That TED talk is accurate, but that 20 hours needs to be in the field.

You can't get good at SOCIALIZING alone with a book.
