I would like realistic feedback from experienced or knowledgeable men about this "PUA video" posted 16 hours ago on r/SadCringe showing a guy getting rejected 2-3 times from cold-approaching

Am I correct that this is just a guy starting out learning PUA and that the reason he is so shy/awkward is due to the fact maybe he's never approached random women before at the mall and initiated a conversation?

If my assessment is correct, then it's totally 100% normal to be "painfully horrible" the very first 5-10 times and maybe this is a realistic portrayal of what an absolute, brand-new beginner looks like. Or is there something else I'm missing that you guys see but that I'm not seeing?

Thank you for reading.
