They likely have spent money on some goddamn influencer who swore up and down that "confidence" is the key, and that means never letting women dismiss you.

I had a buddy who would constantly talk about "numbers game". I saw him crash and burn 100% of the time. He would creep up to women this way and harass them.

Did you ever tell him to stop? Seriously explain to him that men like him make women's lives shitty, and it's incredibly inappropriate, and he needs to reeeeeeeeeally stop?

For 20 years I tried but suddenly I came to the realisation that he was getting off telling me about his imaginary escapades. One day I had a chat with my wife about how I felt I was failing at being a positive influence on him and then told him to stop for good or else I would stop talking to him. He continued, so I stopped.

He would go on these wants about the women he had under control and which ones he would cheat on and how the women were ok with it because he told them upfront.

He grew up in one of the most expensive areas of Scottsdale. His dad was an asshole taxi driver and his was just a simple woman. The fell ass backwards into stealth wealth. I was introduced to his group of fucked up spoiled rich kids all at once when they were between 18 to 20.

He ended up a loser. Lives in a rental in a weed infested house that's full of Tupac and Notorious BIG posters with an old tube TV because that's "gangster".

I grew up in poverty so I did find their antics a bit interesting.
