The way you used to meet women is a terrible grind. You go to bars, nightclubs, and other places where girls hang out. There, you’ll have to spend money. It could be cover charges, it could be drinks, or whatever else, but it’s not something you can do for free. Especially in bars and similar places, you’ll be buying drinks for attractive women you talk to or that you’re trying to flirt with. A lot of women will be more than happy to let you do that, too, without any intention of ever giving you more than the time of day. They’ll flirt with you a little, string you along, and let you buy them all kinds of drinks, but they have no intention of going home with you. You may waste all kinds of hours standing around bars and nightclubs, listening to terrible, loud music, and trying in vain to get the attention of a woman (many of whom are traveling in packs with other girls, and who delight in shooting down guys for sport), and generally watching your free time just disappear out from under you. Come Monday morning, what will you have to show for all that time and effort?
