Spending $3000 on a Pick-Up Boot Camp - Good Idea?

Damn, I was just pulling numbers out of my ass but you would know better than me... I still suck with the opposite sex. I found that getting rejected over and over can make you unfazed by rejection thus making you more confident and assertive...not just rejections from women however, but also men, getting rejected socially with guy friends, having them not like you, think your stupid, or not laugh at your jokes... or just straight up tell you to fuck off. Maybe me this is me oversimplifying this but, low self-esteem in social situations seems to stem from a fear of being rejected/disliked, overcoming that can release so much suffering and anxiety that happens as a result of social interactions. I've set a goal for myself to get rejected as many times as I possibly can, socially with guy friends and women. 

 

Since we apes are socially attuned creatures we organize ourselves in social status hierarchies and the people at the top are usually not afraid of rejection while the people at the bottom are scared shitless... It's attractive when people see you don't give a fuck if they reject you because that would imply high status on your part. Thus making you have higher social status. 

From the ages 14-18 I discovered this wrongly somewhat and started acting like I didn't care about people, I became known as an asshole when in reality I cared very much about them and what they thought of me, I just wanted them to be attracted to me so I acted like I didn't care about them. It didn't work! But now I realize the thing I gotta do is separate from that, caring about them or not isn't the focus rather it's this "being concerned whether they like me or not" that is the issue.
