For reference, Nikolai, I am a post-college student currently in limbo due to the continuing lockdowns in my state https://twitter.com/nvladivostok1/status/1336114273274245121
In college, the majority of the guys that I knew didn't date very much. Occasionally girls would hook up with some of them, but only about 30% or less of the guys I knew had anything steady
Part of it was the fact that we were too young to go to bars. I wasn't in a frat, and most Gen. Z's are conformists. The majority won't go to bars and fake ID's even if they smoke weed: https://www.responsibility.org/alcohol-statistics/underage-drinking-statistics
But none of that applies anymore. I've been to my old college recently. All the students wear masks outside, despite the flu posing no threat to them
I took my mask off inside once, and some of the girls were on me immediately, stricter than anywhere else I've been. Many of these same people were out burning the city earlier in the year
Game has some good knowledge about principles of interpersonal interaction, but it is meant to be deployed within an environment of basic trust, where the girls are not trained to hate and suspect you at every second
A huge percentage of college age girls are also mentally ill. Mental illness rates have skyrocketed, especially on college campuses, and with them rates of self-destructive behavior. Most of these girls are both too broken to relate to and too risky to pump and dump
I say this bluntly, because the situation right now is leading to radical, absolute atomization. The girls don't want the guys, and the guys don't want the girls, and within this environment there is only so much you can do on your own
Moreover, 70% of people from 18-24 now live with their parents, with everywhere to go to closed in large parts of the US. Where the hell are you even supposed to go out, or have sex? You can't hit on girls at the bar if there are no bars and your potential date is afraid of flu
So my strategy is simply to leave when I am able. Leave this shitty state now, hopefully leave America in the future. People can't make friends or love when society has collapsed
