I see a lot of people who are butt hurt about not being talented. Whether it’s with women, sports, art, whatever. They feel bitter because they see others getting results they didn’t have to work for and they want the same for themselves. Despite being a common way of thinking about talent, it’s completely wrong.
Aside from possibly professional sports, not being talented at a particular endeavor can actually be beneficial. Let’s use pick up as an example. Some people are naturally good with women.
Those people were lucky to pick up good habits with women as they grew up. The thing is, because they never had to put in a conscious effort to get good with women they don’t understand the process and why women become attracted to them.
On the other hand we have people who aren’t naturally good with women. My favorite example being Tyler of RSD. While most people would feel sorry for themselves and accept that this is simply the cards they’ve been dealt, Tyler didn’t.
He started going out and practicing seven nights a week and became perhaps the most famous pick up artist in the world. Now he’s actually better than the naturals he once resented.
Tyler’s actually in the most enviable position of all because he now possesses the skills to attract women, and he can relate to men who are currently struggling with the problem he once had. In addition, he’s become a better person through his involvement with pick up and is now better equipped to tackle the other challenges in his life.
It sucks to suck, but looking at the big picture, it’s actually more beneficial to start out being incompetent in almost any given field. As long as you’re willing to put in the work to improve, you should actually be grateful you weren’t handed a god given gift. Those who start at the bottom often have more potential than anyone else.
