Seems to me a failure to approach at the bar. After an intial approach (which could also be rejected outright) maybe 10 minutes will pass before the moment of truth comes and you either get the number or not see each other again. At least in big cities like NYC, LA, Chicago..that's the most frequent scenario as far as nightlife is concerned.
Not getting the number=rejection
> if he's the guy that is a symbol of success for you (even metaphorically) in this domain then ho boy you have bigger problems than just dating.
Well, luck plays a huge role in every person life..that said if you think Cam Newton is a failure where are your 100M dollar for "working" in the NFL playing football?
And of course I imagine he had so many partners he lost count (and also being sexualized by a good % of the millions of women follower he has on INstagram)
Again lots of it is luck, but it cannot be said that Cam Newton is not lving his best life according to objective metrics.
