I don't even know where to begin this, in fact, I was at a loss of words for hours when I went through this whole thing. I even thought about holding off on this post but then my gut finally told me that this could be a change that happens forever. It isn't that the conversation I had with an old friend changed things, it is that it was the straw that broke the camel's back after a lot of what has happened in recent months. As always, hard to count @Franco out in anything, dude was definitely on to something and this is something I used to debate with @Hector Papi Castillo viciously about a year ago.
The year 2019 is almost over and it has been among the most transformative years of my entire life, what's different is that despite the success I had sleeping with well over 100 different women, I realized how much work I still need to do on my development.
Earlier today, I talked to an old friend, one of the very few people I was closed to in college. My friend was a fraternity president at the school I went to, a top 10 party school above the Mason-Dixon line. I wouldn't say he was the biggest man on campus but he was itching near it, very near it. The reason my friend is special is because he hung out with in college where I was struggling and we occasionally hang out now, he has seen me transform.
A very brief as possible story of Oh Pry.
In college, I occasionally got laid but was largely a social misfit, never one of the cool kids, and it drove me insane some nights for years even after graduation. Never invited to the big parties going on and I was suicidally depressed one year. It hurt me to see hot girls out with a group of guys who were not me and it hurt me even more feeling like the experience of college can never be replicated. At times, even insulted by fraternity guys and douchebags in college, some of which stuck to me well after.
After college, I moved to NYC where a lot of my alumni moved as well, found that the tables were slowly turning and the same dudes who ignored me were trying to be a part of my life as they saw me having success with some hot girls.
SOB story over, now on to our conversation.
At one point, my friend makes a remark about my snaps and social media image. We talk about how I always seem to be out with a cute girl and how he has seen me with a number of cute girls in past years. I jokingly say how him and his bros had their day in college and so I have mines, then tell him I might not be able to replicate that frat star life but I am happy with what I have now and it's better than nothing. So my friend responds with something that hit deep and will stick with me forever.
Despite me going to a party school which has been ranked as high as number 1 by Playboy, I was dumbfounded to find this to be the case but it slowly started making sense to me. I asked questions that my mind answered.
If these guys came from such well-connected pedigrees with women and social ties, why were some trying to be a part of my world and at times talking to girls in my life? Aren't their vast network of sorority girls enough?
Why is it that even for the highest value guys, I saw them at most with 2 to 3 different girls constantly and that was it?
Why is it that even when I have seen these guys out consistently, it is almost always with the same small group of women from college days if even that?
Why is it that even after college, it is former frat guys I run into who are desperately trying to find where to meet women? Isn't their social network from school enough?
We are talking guys here from arguably the best party school in America with some of the hottest girls going out there, even the top ones, gaming like PUAs these days. Men (frat guys) who in American society are stereotyped as the cream of the crop group for slaying pussy.
Not according to my friend who was in an above average (top 3) frat and well involved there, not at all. In fact, even in the frat, most guys did not get laid. Even in the frat, most guys had to rely on luck and could not risk a bad reputation. Even being in a top frat, a lot of guys had to walk on eggshells and majority went the LTR route.
I am surprised at the amount of frat guys I knew in college who used tinder and talked a lot about it or tried to explore other avenues for meeting women.
Then I had an epiphany.
On one hand, the epiphany was that you cannot judge a house from the outside, there is so much going on there you know nothing about. Here I was being told that fraternity men at top frats get laid more than Hugh Hefner in his prime, now having a deep conversation with one, this was not close to being the case.
Even deeper than that, I had an epiphany on an entirely different level.
For close to almost all men, the game is a fucking grind and everyone has to pay their dues.
If you want to be with relatively attractive women on a somewhat often basis, it is a grind.
I thought that here were guys who had hot girls delivered to them and it took no effort at all, they barely needed game. What I found was that even most of these guys, if not all, had to play the grind after college. It is why I witnessed a good number lazily and inefficiently try to talk to hot girls while a guy with tight game who put the years into learning cold approach and perfecting his skill did it easily.
Just because you didn't have social life and luck handed to you on a silver platter, it doesn't mean you are really at that big of a disadvantage externally, it means you have ways to go internally.
You should not be discouraged because you were late to the game or didn't have social boosts growing up (like a promising social circle) because in today's world and through what @Chase teaches, you get to explore all that is possible.
Most of all, I realized how much ground can be made up for by putting in the work for a few years, while it might look like it externally, you are not really that far behind. I realized how in more of an open society, how much truly is possible and how methods outside of social circle game can be so so freeing.
All the more motivation for me to get back to cold approaching HARD.
Stay on the grind bros!

"When it comes to this sort of stuff, being on the outside looking in tells you little. Movies, what other say, and what is stereotyped is rarely true. What you see on social media, party pictures, and gossip is rarely true. Even in the top houses, most dudes had girlfriends or got laid every now and then, nothing like 50 different girls a year. Even college athletes were too busy to live that kind of life, they had workouts and were on strict curfews. You can only know so much being on the outside looking in and that's with everything in life."
