i actually realize this pretty late in the game. No homo but i always assumed that dudes i knew were getting mad p*ssy left and right. always assumed my "OGs" or wtv (people i looked up to) were getting it in. then i grew older and realized things aren't always what they seem.
and then i realized, even women aren't getting approached like we think. or if they get approached, it's usually the guy they deem undesirable. so when a dude they actually like approaches them, they don't know how to act cause they have very little experience in that (in getting approached by guys they like). you grow up and realize a lot of these girls we thought were out of our league or too good for us have very low self-esteem (just like a lot of us), a lot of them suffer from self-doubt, think they're ugly, think they're undesirable, wish they were more XYZ like such and such. just like a lot of guys.
the reason most guys aren't getting laid is because they see the girl with designer clothes, shades on, make up on, cold expression on the girl's face, they see dudes who they perceive as being better than them talk about how fine the girl is and blablabla. so they figure the girl already has it all figured out and what value could they provide to the girl? or they think they gotta trick a girl into fukking them cause how could she ever see the real him and still be attracted? little do they know, a lot of these girls are hurting and lost and might see you like you see a dime.
you grow up and you realize that the TV trope of the guy trying to get p*ssy and the girl trying not to give it up is just that, a trope. a lot of women are trying to get laid but in a respectful way and don't know how. but people watch so much TV that they're dead-set on re-enacting the TV tropes and end up not getting laid just like the TV character.
