He'll hit on 10 women knowing all that matters is 1. For a guy with a lot going for him he may hit on 1 of 5, another guy it might be 1 in 20.

The other fact of life is that people need to 'know their role', 'stay in their lane', 'don't punch out of your weight class' - if you're a '6 out of 10' guy, you're not ever going to date a 8/9/10, without paying for it. Until a guy comes to terms with that and lowers his expectations porn and escorts will have to do. Escorting, thanks to the Internet, continues to get more and more popular.

Sociopaths do well with women because they have supreme confidence, ill placed often but that doesn't matter to women, until it's too late and the sociopath has ruined their life.
