how important is social proof when PU?

[david90]

I don't have a lot of friends b/c I can't seem to relate to most people but I do have a couple of good close friends. When PU, I always feel concsious about my place on the social ladder and it kinda lowers my confidence in the PU. The thought the a girl might not like me because i'm somewhat a loner is always on the back of my head.

Should I worry about it?

I've done well alone, with a wing, and with friends.

I've also done awful alone, with a wing, and with friends.

Get your inner game together, and it won't matter either way.

In a microcosm society like a college campus or small town, social proof can be extremely important. It is somewhat less relevant, but still helpful, in a large city.

Last year in college I had zero friends and one acquaintance. I had the hottest girls in the school smiling and flirting with me in hallways without me initiating anything.

If you are a loner at school atleast let them know that you have friends outside of school.

Agree 100%.

I don't think you need social proof (even in "microcosms"), but it can give you a huge boost. Someone on here once called it the "closest thing to magic", which I think is a nice way to put it.
