Somehow you did not answer my question on the choice of which resources to better focus on in building up a skillset.
Each path of mastery required time and effort, you cant be good with women or earn money in your 30s/40s without first focusing your energy and time building up your skillset during the 20s.
Its not like you play the field and go pick up girls every weekend during your 20s and by the time you hit 30s you suddenly say ok im done and you want build up your career or a business with your approaching women skill that you learn earlier. Unless your career is open a pua academy or recruit women for of /porn.
Personally, I think you should balance both.
Building your career is important for your future, with or without a partner. Along the way, surely you work with people, so take the opportunity to mingle with colleagues and befriend those you click with. I found it easier to befriend non-single opposite gender to understand them better + practise talking to them, without getting into any awkward misunderstanding/mixed signals.
Whenever you have the spare energy, then find your date outside work and hope for the best meanwhile learn about yourself.
If your work isn't giving you any opportunity to hone your social skills, then consider changing job to work with people. Socialising is an improve-able skillset and will rust if you don't train your brain to read situations and people.
As for doing the deed to gain experience... Well, personally I think saving it to do it with someone who really matters is beautiful in a way. You'll both fumble and it'll be awkward but at least you'll both want to improve for the sake of the other, you'll talk and work it out together.
