As their personal corpus of pickup lore grows without an equal increase in their success rate, their self-esteem drops. There is a situation in computer science called thrashing where more and more resources are consumed to do a decreasing amount of work. Kind of the same thing that happens with these guys.
I do this with spirituality. I didn't realize it until I read that. I'll learn as much as I can about a particular belief or idea or concept and then expect the insight to produce drastic result, when it doesn't I lose faith.

How do you get out of that sort of cycle?
