Are PUA sites worth it?

[Tallcel]

I am one to admit that much of my failure at getting laid (or even a gf) is hesitance to be rejected or worse charged with legal action. I go to bars and rarely see people just approach women up front. Either I'm going to the wrong places or that's just not a thing in real life. I have tried to talk to a few girls at bars but always seems to putter out after a few comments and introductions. Then I usually commence drinking and forget the rest of the night. Is day game viable? Grocery stores? Who does that? I know boards like this were created to debunk pua but I just want to learn how to approach total strangers of the opposite sex. My friend keeps telling me I look ok and should just grow some balls and talk to more women. I know I have height going but it's offset by hairline, apparent mental disabilities, and chronic dadbod. This is not bragging but just a factual statement. I'm sure most that hate tall people here have things going for them that I don't. It balances out. I just need confidence to at least try to ascend. I'm way late in the game. I envy 21 year old "late bloomers". I'm in my early 40s. Television, internet surfing, video games, books, movies, college and other copes distracted me this long but I feel the need to ascend this year or I may just give up on life; My career prospects are grim right now. I have a stem degree but know fuck all what to do with it.

early 40s
PUA

jesus christ no

 

[YungCell]

Absolutely not

PUA works in that it can get guys who have never tried to go out and try.
Teencel dummies here who never actually tried to hook up with foids could benefit from trying PUA.
It doesn't have to be a cold approach, you can just make random comments and chit chat with everybody and when a foid you like responds better than other people, then you know you have a shot with her.
And yeah it's pretty rare, I've seen other guys do it only a couple of times and both times the guy got promptly blown off (politely though). Most guys are afraid to do it, which could be an opportunity with the few remaining Tinder holdouts.

 

[mike wazowski]

maybe with normies

 

[SpacedOut]

If they worked thats where everyone on this forum would be right now. So no.

 

[Tallcel]

My efforts at ascending through dating sites has left me with roasties that have been around the block so many times that they are ready to find "the one" and settle down before their eggs die. If I had money I would not be below going to some foreign country and be a sexpat.

jesus christ no

My saving grace is that I appear younger than my age, or so I've heard. Many think I'm early 30s. I can just lie about age.

 

[Braincel14w]

If you feel like you want to try then it might give you some ideas.
It's so hard to change though. It would all come naturally if you were gl.

 

[Deleted member 16390]

you folks need to stop talking to random women on streets or outside of your house, the city officials / PoPos see you as ugly sex tourists that don't want to pay and gonna bust your heads black & blue, they are already doing that in some countries as an example to ugly men.

Yup absolutely worth it, if your goal is to end up in jail.

What about just basic confidence? Talking to people. Getting numbers. Etc. That doesn't work?

goto the gym and get shreded, the only thing talkingwise is make the conversation flow without being awkward

 

[OverBeforeItBegan2]

Why are you still trying to ascend in your 40s? I doubt you can get anything younger than 30. Anything above that age is not worth going for.
Just fuck young escorts.

It's either that or a stripper if I'm desperate. Need money for that though. Hopefully I can land a job soon, I feel like I was frozen in an icecube or locked up for 20 years. Dropped out of high schoool and cut off all ties outside family. Mental hospitals in my teens and misophonia made me agoraphobic. People who mock mentalcels don't know how mental mentalcels can get.

 

[Deleted member 16455]

Absolutely not

 

[NoMoreSlaving]

if you couldn't get laid in your 20s before tinder obliterated everything, what do you think is the chance you will get laid now as a 40 year old?

 

[Terranigma]

no. complete waste of time and energy: redpill is cope. next question?

I'm an extreme mentalcel too. I know how it feels even though i'm half your age. How would you do things differently if you were in your 20s again?

I stayed in my house for 99.9% of my 20s and was an awkward as fuck 30-something in college. Recently I found a friend who has given me some confidence plus I moved out of the house.

For that, you don't need PUA, just start hanging out with normies and everything should come naturally. PUA will fuck with your mind. It's basically a collection of predatory strategies. What PUAs generally do is same like those pyramid scheme salesmans do. Never do those autistic stuff in public.

 

[littlemanhikicel]

Hey man I am similar in that % staying at home well not the same but damn the time running out when you're an incel.

Don't know. Probably start school earlier. I was completely demoralized and didn't know if I could complete school.

 

[A_Broken_Person]

PUA is a scam, the only way to believe shit like that works is to be bluepilled af

 

[Deleted member 14866]

fuck no

 

[Dunarote]

How people have sex
- they are married
-rape
-prostitution
-one night stands( probably less than 1% of all sex had and it is pretty much always initiated by women)

And one night stands are exactly what PUAs are trying to teach you and I hope you realize how ridiculous it sounds.

 

[Deleted member 6470]

If you have money to spare, they'd help you to spend it.

You don't look younger, at least not in a good way. If you look young but are fat and balding, you will look like some weird goblin creature. 41 is indeed late in the game - most people are already settled into careers and looking to retiring at this point. What is your STEM degree in? Because they are largely worthless since every kid goes to uni now, and a good chunk of those grind out a STEM degree. Unless its something particularly special and highly rated, no company is going to give a shit about a 41 year old graduate with no experience.

 

[Mainländer]

Only if you're 6+ and your only problem is being too shy around girls.

 

[this is hell]

Unfounded confidence is called delusion.

 

[FuckShitPiss]

No. And since you're 40 years old, let's make that HELL NO!! Especially if you plan on approaching the 20 year olds. That ship has sailed, bud. Your league is mid 30s and up. Any younger than that is creepville, with a VERY HIGH chance of getting kicked out of clubs, or worse, legal action.
