It can change your success rate dramatically, especially if you have nothing. The one good thing about game is that you can pull chicks with no outside factors involved, so at least you know for a fact you aren't getting played for your money/status, because you might not even have that. You can talk women out of their panties tho.So if 95% of dudes don't have it anyway and it doesn't change the results, why do you need it? Why do online nikkas who don't even have girls most of the time bring it up?
But there is an opportunity cost involved. If you aren't born with that natural charisma and you have to spend time developing it, we're talking years probably at least a decade and 1000's of dollars spent, when you *could* have been doing something more productive with that time. I personally would rather develop some talent than chase women all day but that's just me(but apprently i like posting on the coli too much lol). Talent gives you more options including women.
nikkas bring it up because they think it gives them a leg up on the next man which is stupid considering we're all getting played by p*ssy for the most part. I consider myself pretty decent at cold approaching and I'm still nowhere near the level some guys are at. I'm sure it's satisfying until you realize that most women are just toys to play with and nothing more. Then you become that dude who wishes he would have took playing ball/developing skills more seriously than following his dikk when they were younger
