I'm not socially active on the internet ? Am I missing out an opportunity ?/

[user3423424]

Hi everyone ,

My name is Jimmy and I would like to kindly ask for your opinion about my dating life . I'm new to dating and I recently started to approach women on the streets and I find it's awfully tough . My chance of chatting up a women on the street is like 1 per hour and it's really terrible. Also , I don't really use social media such as fb , tumblr at all except for linkin because I just couldn't be bothered so I would like to ask , Am i missing an big opportunity in the dating world by avoiding social media ? or the internet to date overall?

At the moment , all I'm doing is just focusing on picking up women on the streets and , It's really difficult for me . I feel women are very closed off and I'm not sure if i'm correct but i feel I'm putting in 100 % effort and getting 0% investment back and it's dawning . Do you think the best way to meet women is on the streets? and I feel in this society women are closed off so they don't like to get approach by strangers ? or they can be approach but it depend how they are approached?

Starting off is always the toughest, but in terms of effort it pays off more than finding someone online. I've tried online dating before and its easy to pour tons of hours into it and in terms of quality women it's not as helpful. If you do decide to try check out Chase's post on internet dating profiles, it would be a huge help

If anything I feel like the internet has held me back in the world. Even with all the PUA stuff I've learned, I think I would be better off trading all that time spent for real world experience (this is different for each person, but for me I know deep inside this is true).

Anyways, I believe Chase says he deleted his Facebook.

Here are some articles worth checking out:

I would highly suggest in addition to cold approaching, join some clubs (especially if you are still in college), and classes (yoga, salsa, pilates, impromptu acting, etc) to make some females friends you can interact with (hugging, dancing at a club, etc.). The attention from the opposite sex will make your failures on cold approaching from keeping you down. All the best!
