Hey guys,
So I just watched one of Tucker Max's videos on his mating grounds website. For those of you who don't know, its basically a site where he teaches how to get girls. I feel like a lot of it is wrong and even though he himself is good with women, he doesn't seem to teach other men to do what he did. It's kinda weird to me. lol
Anyways, one of his podcasts is basically anti cold approach and anti numbers game mentality. Most of the stuff he says is just plain wrong (ex. at one point, he said cold approaches only have a 2% success rate at getting a phone number). And other stuff is more in reference to older pickup material which isn't really relevant to GC. But he does bring up one valid point. He suggests that chronic rejection can create bad reference points, thereby discouraging men from going out again. Ex. If I approach 100 girls and most of them say no, I might feel like I've mostly had a negative experience, which psychologically conditions me to avoid that behavior (i.e. approaching).
I can kinda relate to this point. I really can't get into Day Game very much. I had several bad blowouts, and my motivation for Day Game has pretty much hit rock bottom. I can't bring myself to do it. Whereas with night game (where I seem to have more success), I've had mostly positive experiences. Because regardless of how women reacted to me, I can still have a good night. Also, I get better reactions at night for some reason anyways.
Thoughts on rejection and its effects on motivation and self-esteem?
Also, here's a link to the podcast: http://thematinggrounds.com/bad-advice- ... bers-game/
