Before getting involved with the game i had moderate success with women. I had a 5 years relationship that i didn't end earlier because i was afraid to be single, before that i had some more with either average-looking or crazy chicks. I got involved with the game around 1.5 years ago.

Since then i realized how the social dynamics work, i improved my self by doing huge steps, i am more confident, more dominant, with an (i believe) good BL, i do interesting conversations, i banter, i do a lot of kino and i am not afraid to physically escalate and show to my targets my intentions. I am also financially successful and i am involved in a lot of social activities. In one of them i became a leader (i recently started to teach Latin dances to beginners as a hobby). I have built a good social circle where i am perceived as a popular guy. I've increased my standards and i go more for the hot chicks.

BUT...

My results are few and far away between them. My last lay was on August, with a make-out with a HB6 since then that i also brought to my home but i failed to bust through her LMR. I also brought two more chicks at home that probably i screwed up in the last step since they both refused to make out with me.

I've improved my inner game by big leaps but due to my recent dramatic failures i started again doubting myself. I feel like i am constantly receiving rejections, i have to chase chicks, i am being flaked, my potential targets are rude to me. During the weekend i set up 4 different dates for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and already the first two flaked on me without proposing an alternative day. The rule is that the 20% of the guys bangs the 80% of the chicks and comparing to the terrified beta guys that i see regularly i would definitely say that i am in or close to that 20%.

What is going on? Is this amount of effort really the norm or am i doing something horribly wrong?
