There are guys who don't approach, don't make much effort to "get out there" for various reasons ex.) too much fear, inexperience, etc. That said, those who do NOT approach because they want to force DMSI to accomplish its design goals, more power to you. No harm no foul and perfectly understandable and within your right as a purchaser of DMSI.
But Mystic Pymp is putting in some effort here though. If what he's saying is correct, he's doing a great deal on his own (consciously mind you) in order to put himself in a good position to get results. He's not sitting on the bench wondering why he's not getting the ball and not making any shots. He's out there hustling, getting dirty, doing the things that other guys either don't want to do or know how to do (once again, those guys have their reasons, so no harm no foul). So I can fully understand why he's frustrated because he's taking the shots but the shots just aren't going in the net.
Using your soccer analogy some guys are running around on the field with no clue what they're doing due to inexperience (which is fine, we all started there), some guys know about the game a little bit but are too afraid to take the shot even if they get a good look (inexperience and fear), others like Mystic Pymp have the will and desire and take the shot but the ball refuses to go into the net even if the look they had was good, and finally you have the rare breed (Chaosvrgn and Benjamin for example) who know about "the game", understand large parts of "the game", and are willing to get on the field, dribble, take the shot, and MAKE THE SHOT (sex).
You gotta admit...it's a bit...frustrating to see guys who are NOT making much effort to take the shots but are getting (in some cases) free penalty kicks. I'm not discounting what you said btw Shannon. Everything you said was valid. I'm just saying that I fully understand and sympathize with Mystic Pymp but as long as I've known you you've never been one to back down from challenges (willingly) so I am hopeful you'll find a way to make it so that everyone can score (figuratively and literally) .
I wouldn't say I get my hand dirty, I've never done cold approaches or anything like that. But at the same time I don't remember the last time neither me nor anyone else told me I wasted some great chance. If I see girl likes me I go for it. It happens rarely to be honest (once a month on average), but I used all good opportunities I had in the past 2 years or so. And that is something myself from before subs couldn't say. In short I cannot say I do herculean work, but I cannot say I sit idly and wait for wonder either.
Could I create more options? Sure, me going to speed dating event despite my anxiety shows me that I can go out of my comfort zone. And one day I may be motivated enough to pursuit it full time. As of now I focus on my education and self-development at large.
I'm not angry that I don't see much results right now. What I'm angry at is that virgin me could get better results that more experienced, slimmer and equipped with DMSI me does. Past me had slept with 8/10 on the second date, present me cannot get a single date, not to mention sex.
For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
