I think "rolling solo" as a guy doing cold approach pickup is one of the most badass learning experiences you can have.

It has taught me so much about how to fearlessly socialize with strangers in a completely non-needy (not to mention non-creepy) way. Also, all of the bullsh*t that you have to deal with just in terms of getting into good clubs (at least in NYC, where you have to promote girls into the door just to get in) makes normal work challenges seem trivial.

It is not for the faint of heart, but in case anyone is wondering it will pay DIVIDENDS in terms of life skills (and the short-term "benefits" can also be good :).

Agreed. I'm also in nyc doing the same thing you are. Always interested in meeting other people in nyc doing the same. Let me know if you ever want to meet up.

Obviously you are not familiar with the PUA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickup_artist) community. Not that I am, but I've seen enough of it to not find this exchange out of the ordinary in the least.

Oh I'm aware of that disgusting and misogynistic community. I think the irony of those comments in context might have been lost on you though.

idk either, but neither of these accounts has any contact information associated, so good luck to both of them.
