Skunked on Saturday: Field Report
Today fucking sucked—at least in terms of girls.
I’m trying to express gratitude more, so before I get into a rather depressing field report, I will say that the sun was shining, I had some great conversation with my wings, Vegas and Buddha, and got in a ton of steps and visited some of my old favorite haunts from back before I exited the game for my LTR. We should always count what it going for us, not just against!
That said, all I can say about today in terms of game is that I got more practice and more reps—process over results as they say—but I got skunked on numbers.
I really only had two good sets:
The first one was with a cute blonde who was admiring some Tulips. I opened, asking her if they were her favorite flower, and she said yes they were. We got into a conversation about flowers and a local Tulip festival she should go to (she mentioned having moved here recently from the Southwest US). It was a solid conversation, but when I went for the close, she was like, “no thanks, sorry.” I wished her a good rest of her day and moved on.
In my favorite spot, the bookstore, I opened a girl—if you guys have read much of my shit, you KNOW we talked about Lolita…in this case it was natural because she was in the “T” section, so Tolstoy’s stuff was right there. We talked about books for awhile and it was good, but I pussed out and didn’t close. Luckily, Vegas said, go back and say, “hey, excuse me again, but I’m going to be kicking myself if I don’t ask for your number. Want to get coffee or a drink sometime?” I did, but of course she had a BF—very cute girl and clearly smart, so very lucky man indeed.
Now, here’s the thing: I opened at least 15 other girls/groups today…but none of them stuck around to give me any sort of real shot—I’m finding that Gen Z girls are extremely difficult. They’re so quick to move on and avoid social contact it’s astonishing. When I was gaming before in 2018 - 2021, most girls would let you shoot your shot if you opened and were somewhat interesting—they were at least nice and not in such a hurry to avoid conversation. My impression—and granted, on a limited set of data—is that a huge percentage of Gen Z girls are total social retards. Sad!
So in the last week-ish, I’ve opened like 90 chicks, 70% have been blowouts, I’ve had like 10-15 decent sets, and gotten three numbers, all of whom never came out and/or responded to texts.
Like, if I’d opened the same number of chicks in 2019, I would have had 50% fewer blowouts—at least—and gotten at least 15-20 numbers, half or whom would have responded, and half of those would have come out. The new filtering theory I mentioned in my last post: that’s new because in the past it wasn’t necessary. Millennial girls would at least give you a chance. Gen Z: nope.
I should mention here, that the city I live is among the worst on the planet for chicks. Probably like 30-40% trans, queer, and/or lesbian natal females due to social contagion, another 10-20% dress androgynously, leaving only 50% tops of normal, feminine women.
To be self-critical here, a big issue is my weight. If chicks tell you they like a dad bod, I’m proof that this isn’t true, because that is what I have right now: a bit of a beer belly, but big, strong shoulders and arms, a handsome face, strong legs. Yeah, turns out when chicks say they like that it’s pure bullshit.
I’m doing all I can to lose weight—indeed, when I went out today I was on a 18 hour fast, and I didn’t eat til just now, making it nearly 24. Plus I’ve done 60K steps in the past three days, with some HIIT mixed among that. Huge problem, but not one that is solved quickly.
I’m extremely discouraged. I’ll post again when I have something productive to say.
Maybe this is not the best time to be a player after all. More likely, I need to lose weight and get the fuck out of this hellscape of androgyny.
