It's not my main concern these days as I'm generally pursuing my purpose, but it's something I've noticed for a while and just wanted to get some thoughts on this today.

I will preface by saying I am 100% confident that my game used to be very tight, and consistently so for years, so by all accounts the knowledge and experience is still in there, but the blade is dull so to speak. I'm aware of this.

The issue I'm having is that I'm very very lazy and direct with my approach towards women now, and much more often than not I am fumbling girls I know I could have if I wasn't approaching in this sledgehammer way, but I can't seem to stop myself from doing it. I'm far too direct, and impatient - ie, I'm just lazy now and frankly lacking any of the charm I once had too. On the plus side, I am still bold and outcome independent, but it's too scorched earth and isn't working because I'm not establishing a level of rapport first like I used to. I don't know why I'm doing this when I know better. Some girls it works with if they're already attracted, but mostly it just doesn't work. It's as though I've become autistic.

Another thing is, I just don't care enough to pursue girls like I used to if they aren't as receptive. In the past, I'd be slightly more persistent, but now the minute I sense it going no where, I'm out of there. That said, I do want to get laid like a Warlord again. So I'm stuck.

tdlr: I'm not getting any women because I'm too direct and impatient.
