When I started learning game I read everything. Seriously, I bought ever eBook (as long as it was under $50) and watched every video I could find. I lurked this forum and some other places too like r/seduction.
My game sucked. I had way too many different theories and styles in my head and I would over analyze everything.
I thought "game sucks" and dropped all the books. Instead I started to just go out to bars and talk to girls. I think "hey" was my original opener. While my conversions sucked, I learned more and started getting better. I figured out what did and didn't work for me and went from there.
After a while I realized that game didn't suck. In fact, I'd been inadvertently creating my own style of it. What had sucked was my implementation of game. I had been so obsessed with getting great game that I had forgotten to go out and develop it.
Game is like anything else. Reading about it won't teach nearly as much as practicing it will.
