That makes sense yes.
I guess I just think that if you're going to go try to get over your fear of talking to women, you might as well just do it in the real world. Yeah, you're probably gonna get rejected sometimes. It happens to everyine. I say just grow some balls and walk up to that chick in the club. I personally think that it would be the better idea. Just keep plugging away at it, don't get discouraged, and eventually some girl will respond to you (whatever hypothetical guy we're talking about). Plus, then you can avoid completely that whole "creepy guy who goes to the strip club alone" thing.
Also, if a guy is nervous about talking to girls at the bar, maybe he should just start with some casual small talk in other places. Say something to the girl in line behind you at the grocery store. Mention how grazy gas prices are to the chick pumping gas next to you at the exxon station. Go to a store in the mall and ask the sales girl to help you pick out something for your sister/mother/good friend.
Maybe if the guy just tries having normal small talk with girls out in the real world, he will be less intimidated by them when he is out at the bar. I think you will find that almost every woman will be reasonably receptive to small talk in those situations. Because it is less invasive. The woman is most likely not going to take the statement "Wow, can you believe these gas prices?" to really mean "Can I please get in your pants now?" and she will be nice. She may not be interested in the guy, but she will probably be nice. And as long as the guy keeps it short and casual, and doesn't try to get a date out of it, then I think this would be a great venue to just practice talking to the opposite sex.
Ok, I hope that made sense, cause it is very rambling.
