I've seen various members pound on the importance of context, so I want to start this thread off right: I'm 6'1", fairly ripped (180lbs with a sixpack), good looking face, solid posture, good style, late 20's. Objectively, I'd say I'm in the top 5% of looks, ie generally the best looking guy wherever I go but not supermodel quality. I won the genetic lottery, I know it, and I use it to my advantage.
I've been spitting game for ~6 years ever since "the Game" came out. In that time I've consumed a massive amount of pickup material. One precept I embraced was "bang a lot of chicks to get experience so you're prepared to deal with super hot chicks." I didn't just embrace it; I went buck wild.
Now a few years and a ton of notches later, I feel like whatever value banging 6's and 7's offered me has been gained. If I bang a 6/7 now, it's as a slump breaker or because it was an easy layup (being two points higher than them on the looks scale translates into some very, very easy lays). Don't get me wrong; they provided invaluable experience as I was learning. But I'm passed that point now.
So here's the question for you guys who on the right side of the looks bellcurve who've put in your time and gotten high notch counts: do you feel like pursuing 6/7's is holding you back? Or does it still have value? And what is your approach to meeting the superhotties, like 8.5+?
I remember Roosh mentioning something along these lines about apathy before he started flagging.
Personally, I'm on the verge of putting myself on a strict 8+ only regimen to force myself to pursue hotter girls. My current pseudo main dating relationship (more than a FB, less than a gf, but not really anyone else in the picture) is an 8.5/9 and holy shit does that make all the difference in the world in terms of my ability to stay interested in her.
