what do you think is harder, requires more practice? learning how to get a girlfriend? or just getting a girl to hook up with you, casual-sex, one-night stands, etc.?
It's different for everyone. Some guys may be more naturally inclined to do well with getting women into their beds but have a terrible time keeping women around for long-term prospects. Likewise, some guys may struggle mightily with getting girls into their beds, but once they do, they tend to have the girls wanting to keep them around pretty easily.
Generally, from my personal observations, guys with lower empathy tend to get women into their beds more easily. They play less of a "nice guy" role in interactions and move toward what they want very quickly with little regard to a woman's shit tests. This is why we encourage guys to be aggressive and take action more than anything when learning to get good with women because it's the best way to improve. However, as soon as these guys try to engage in longer-term relationships with these girls, they frequently miss cues made by the girls to show that they care, and they eventually send these women into forms of auto-rejection.
Guys with higher empathy are generally more self-conscious about how they appear to women. They hesitate a lot and try "not to lose" rather than "to win," and that type of mindset is usually what causes you to lose anyway. They care too much about girls' feelings, and they play it safe when girls shit test them, which is usually how you fail a shit test. On the flip side, guys with higher empathy who
do end up bedding women tend to be more keen on what women want at any moment, and they are able to treat them more respectfully for the most part. The only danger here is that, if the highly empathetic guy doesn't feel like he has abundance, he can end up being needy and causing his woman to lose attraction for him over time.
Both seduction and relationships are two entirely different skills, and how fast you improve with one is almost completely independent of the other. Being a higher empathy guy myself, I found relationships to be extremely straightforward for me (after some reading on this website), and I've been able to manage my relationships almost flawlessly from the beginning. On the other hand, I had
hundreds of botched interactions with girls when learning how to cold approach them and take them to bed.
