The idea that men have this irrational fear of approaching girls and rejection is overblown imo. A legitimate intense fear is so bad you couldn't be paid to confront it, but I bet if you paid most guys 300$ to approach a girl he would do it in a heartbeat. The real issue is that its clear to most men that there is a 99% chance of failure, but normies gaslight us into thinking we're wrong for being discouraged by such shit odds.

I thought about this and realized I'd approach the prettiest women around if I were getting paid to do it, because at least then I'd get something out of it lol

i mean i literally do have an irrational fear of approaching women. depending on the person and the extremity of the fear a person may still confront a fear for money, that doesnt mean the fear isnt there though

The failure is high for everyone ya dunce.
Its like a 2% chance of rolling snake eyes or 2 6s when rolling 2 dice.
You roll dice multiple times per game. If you need a 2 or 12 do you break down shit your pants and cry because the odds are so low so you might as well give up? Or do you fucking try, and sometimes it comes up?

Quit making excuses. Go outside.

that just isnt how people work, a person can be plenty scared of something and still approach it for something valuable, social validation (peer pressure) or even just because they are a "daredevil". its all about inhibition and what they are receiving in return

You still seem to be operating under the assumption everyone else just walks up to any girl and gets what they want..
Its a crapshoot. For everyone. Even the mythical "chad".

no? i never said i believe that, i think cold approaching is a horrible way to get women 99% of the time
>>33236270
it may be possible people view things differently, the main reason i dont cold approach women is because i dont want a random hoe off the street regardless of if she says yes or no

I'm not saying there is an absence of fear, only that the fear is greatly exaggerated. You couldn't pay me a million dollars to go fight in Ukraine, that is a real fear. If all it takes is pocket money to convince you to talk to a girl you're not as a afraid as you are discouraged by the low probability of success and reward.

I promise you, if the government paid men to ask out women the issue would be solved overnight. Because the problem isn't fear as much as it is knowing you will not be rewarded.

yes that is exactly what an irrational fear is, what is your point here? that people are more and less scared of different things and are willing to confront them for varying amounts of money?
