You think? I’m not so sure. I think generally you’re right, failure rate goes down as you build competency in a skill; however, I don’t think there is adequate motivation to improve when it comes to “scoring.” For most men I know, talking to 20 women just to get 1 to go out with you and/or go home is more than sufficient odds to make the whole night worth it, and there’s no motivation to improve your 1:20 odds.

I’ve never done this, so I might be way off. IDK, if “game” improves, but I think some guys need to learn how to read signals / body language from women. Women will do things (often subtle) that are inviting if they are interested or attracted to a guy. Following those signals, I have to believe increases odds. These things can be misinterpreted too, and learning what that looks like will make the interaction smoother.
I do know some guys don’t ever figure this out. I know one. He will just continue on with disinterested women. Lots of people think he is creepy. If he figured this out, he wouldn’t talk to nearly as many women, but I think his odds would improve for each interaction. IDK, which method would yield him better results though, since the latter involves talking to much fewer women, but his current method also makes women that already know him pretty much disqualify him from interest.
I got arrested the same way in 1987, age 15.
Pro-tip: You can do better in a bust on foot than in a car. I escaped on foot, free & clear. Then got in my buddies car to pick up stragglers. Thats when we got busted.
He actually didn’t drink that night and wasn’t in any trouble. I just got the call from the cops to pick him up when they busted the party.
He’s definitely drank at a few other keg parties in high school, one in particular that was facilitated by a member of his HS hockey team’s coaching staff.
I was pretty hammered. Between under age drinking & disorderly conduct, that cost me about $600.00.
Schools talk a lot about peer pressure, but the only “pressure” I’ve ever gotten was from authority figures (e.g., family, organisers, a Professor one time)
The school’s handling of the entire situation was a complete disgrace, but hey, they were state champions. And winning at sports is the most important thing for teenagers.
My friend’s parents hosted parties like that when I was a teenager. Everyone who lived in that house went on to struggle with serious addiction problems in the 25 years since.
Hosting underage drinking parties with rutting teenagers sounds like the worst possible night I could imagine in my house, but some people never grow out of that stuff.
Staying on-topic, more than a few teenagers lost their virginity in at my high school friend’s house during all of those parties. It wasn’t a nice place to have sex in at all, let alone your first time.
Just for shits and giggles. My wife’s brother, call him Uncle Jay, recently went into the hospital for liver failure. He is 48ish, drinks heavily. They were talking liver transfer.
A week later my wife goes on vacation leaving my seventeen year old son home alone. He doesn’t drink, will walk around with a White Claw but won’t drink it.
I texted him, “Who’s getting the keg, Uncle Jay?”
Silence.
I texted him, “Too soon?”
He texted me back the next day, no, that was funny.
My niece was just hired to teach Catholic school in the West. She is not Catholic, she cohabitates with some dude, and I find it a bit surprising that she would be hired?
Did she lie during her interview? Or is the diocese where she lives that desperate for teachers?
Maybe she’s just a really good teacher.

That might be. But I would think a parochial school would have some rules about being employed. But, back to you, you might be very correct.
I would also add, that unlike public schools, maybe a Catholic school has a policy of a teacher’s private life being just that. They have their curriculum, their values and their culture; when in Rome.

I think its based on need. I’ve known a few people that taught at parochial schools who had no affiliation with the church.
At this point I don’t know if any catholic schools around here have any priests or nuns on the teaching staff. Maybe in admin. & whatnot. 
.
Almost all of them in the greater Pittsburgh area have shut down in the last couple of decades.
He’s gonna be waaaaay down on the list.
Hope his affairs are in order.

I work a public school. teacher’s lives are just that. Their own. As is hers.
This was an issue in Florida as some teachers complained that they were going to be prevented from sharing their private lives and relationships with their students. It’s probably a generational thing as it’s the younger teachers who feel the need to seek validation from their students.
These days, you can find pictures of your teacher’s college parties on social media pretty easily.
Or their OnlyFans, if they’re into that.
My students know three things: I am married, most know where I live (out in the country, we all know where each other lives), and three, because of two, I have a German Shepherd. Two actually.
Teaching is a good thing to look at with the thread topic in mind. Most teachers are female and this has been true for decades. There used to be more male high school teachers but that has changed. Although this might not be true everywhere, I believe schools don’t typically offer shop classes as they once did. Most of those teachers would have been men.
So students don’t get much exposure to male role models and if their father isn’t in the home they get even less. With that said, if you add in how families don’t participate in the community as they once did, like going to church, kids don’t see men being men, family men. How can we expect boys to develop social skills when they have no one to model those behaviors?
The thing is, schools are ok with this lack of diversity. They really don’t want masculinity in schools. But when you see fewer men get into teaching, and women students outnumbering men in colleges, you have to ask, is the environment of education becoming more attractive to women or less attractive to men, and why.

Take them to the Renaissance Fair. Buy them something cosplay-ish, watch some knights joust, then have a threesome with a devil and a fairy when you get home.
Also the old DnD movie got me caught by mothers who noticed their daughters weren’t in the theater they said they would be.
And going out to the woods in the dark to “get into character.”
So yeah, that’s a thing. Freaky nerd sex is great. Which I do not regret in the slightest.
