Checking out real girls?

No, I really don't think that would be beneficial. If anything, I'd say it could easily make matters worse.

 

1. Most girls don't like to be checked out.
2. It will trigger you - triggers don't help.
3. Doing it on purpose to help with your reboot (which won't occur) is weird

 

I try to keep things simple when it comes to this. If you see a woman (stranger) who you find attractive, you only have two options:
A is to introduce yourself, talk to her, interact with her, and get to know her. If you can't or not willing to do that, option B is to keep to yourself and focus on something else.
As you progress and keep doing this, you'll find that you'll go with option A more and more often, which is really healthy for your confidence and emotions!
Hope this helps.
