I've been reading this subreddit for the past year trying to get some semblance of game together. Tonight I went out and had the worst night of pickup I've yet had. I opened eight different girls (which is a lot for me...and I had to scrounge to even find that many) and they all just absolutely destroyed me. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and this has been the case since I started trying. The only success I've ever had with women has been tangentially through friends or friends of friends. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing and this whole thing feels like an exercise in faith to me. Meaning I've never met any guy that knows how to do the things I've read about here in real life and is it even fucking real. I'm sorry if this post is worthless but this is the most frustrating bullshit and I wish I were gay.

Please advise.
