Guys, I'm just not sure this is really a healthy exercise.
Sure, in *theory* it sounds good. But, in practice you're actually listening to the feedback from those that didn't like you. Why would you even consider the opinion someone that doesn't like you holds of you?
Also, keep in mind that a lot of people, read almost all people, are not nearly as sincere and truthful as the guys in the Community (face it, we tell it like it is for the most part even if it might hurt someone's feelings). Women aren't going to really give you any kind of substantive answer. It'll be highly generic and probably pretty useless.
Now, having said that, there ARE women that will tell you where a relationship went wrong. And, I make a point to talk to them about why things worked out they way they did after things have ended. But, there's a certain emotional investment there and a willingness, for both parties, to discuss the past.
The fact is that most girls that you only nailed a few times and then blew you off probably wouldn't give you proper feedback.
I think about all the chicks that I've ditched or that have ditched me and I can probably tell you with almost 100% certainty what they think of me. And, you know what? I don't really care. Because, I know that the next chick would treasure that which they didn't understand or value or whatever.
I wouldn't worry about the opinions of those that don't want to be around you, just work hard on being the person you want and be mindful that sometimes being that person might require that you have to spend more time and energy finding those that will treasure you as much as you do.
Oh yeah, PC. I've kept EVERY single number from EVERY single girl I've ever had sex with (assuming of course I have the number, you'd be surprised how many I never got). It's nice to browse through my phone directory and smile at all of the tail from days past. I swear to God I'd forget a good 20% of them if I didn't have a visual reminder of their presence in my life...even if it was for just one night!!!
