Just talk to girls. Not even girls you like just regular girls about anything. Befriend women in your spaces at 22/23 you're probably still either at school or the job you have isn't that serious so you should have people around within your age group. Just be yourself and don't put pressure on yourself just talk about whatever.
Female friends open up the dating market, fukk what any weirdo says who tells you otherwise.
- You get more comfortable with talking to women and knowing what they like and what they're about.
- It opens you up to different opinions and perspectives so you're not a cave dweller and you can relate better.
- It gives you an in with their friends/acquaintances too and if the girl is really the homie she'll pull up her friends' hoefax for you and tell you what's what and who to avoid.
- The girl(s) could also tell you little things she thinks you're getting wrong in terms of your appearance/mannerisms that could get you a lot further with other women.
- It disarms other women. When they see you engaging with (not just hovering around) other women and they see that you're not a weirdo it makes them feel more comfortable and secure.
Beyond that women just come in clutch in certain work/school situations so you should definitely be keeping some around in the early 20s. Don't use friendship to try to simp for the girls you like just make friends with regular people.
Once you get that there's nothing special about women and their shyts stink just like any guy then you can move on to trying to pick up chicks but just start by talking to girls and making friends.
