1	I hear a lot of people spreading the idea that a lot of men are MISSING opportunities with women by not approaching. The reality is they aren't What? Every shot you don’t take you miss. You could argue that cold approach success rate will be lower then “warm” approach, but idea that no approach is better is misguided.	/r/seduction	08/05/26 07:50 PM
1	Girls lose attraction when they meet or call me Be natty, unless px by an MD. Just get in touch with your biological instincts of male competition, which dating absolutely is. Dating apps are useful to expand range of prospects, but reliance on them is limiting your skills when you have to compete for resources of woman.	/r/seduction	20/03/26 04:24 PM
1	Girls lose attraction when they meet or call me I am going to assume you’re being facetious and playful with that response. However, athletic competition will naturally elevate testosterone and you should place your self in these environments for the T boost.	/r/seduction	20/03/26 03:39 PM
1	Girls lose attraction when they meet or call me Alright cool - problem identified. Here’s some solutions. Stop all PMO, lift heavy, join competitive sport league, and then watch frank miller 300 or Die Hard.	/r/seduction	20/03/26 02:45 PM
3	Girls lose attraction when they meet or call me We can only go off what you’re stating. You are either “catfishing” your profile too hard, giving non-masculinity vibes, or have an unsavory career that immediately turns them off.	/r/seduction	20/03/26 02:41 PM
17	Be very careful of who you tell about game. Looks like you learned your lesson, don’t help those who aren’t actively looking for it. Props on the 🍯 🍆 recovery 🤣	/r/seduction	08/01/26 03:47 PM
1	What to do if friend is a natural Be the bold one and approach the set. Your buddy can be an asset in your pull game, not a liability. If he is truly a buddy he should get that any game he runs should not counter yours.	/r/seduction	23/12/25 03:40 PM
14	Getting numbers is super easy but can’t get a single text back or date Right here. A lot of yall going around collecting phone numbers like they are business cards.	/r/seduction	11/10/25 01:08 AM
1	Role of money in attraction No, wealth (money) is a qualifying factor. Flashing your bank account has no couth, and frankly demeans your frame. Wealth for attraction is often expressed through luxury vehicles, luxury home/neighborhood, luxury clothing/jewelry, having a boat, luxury club membership, high end services such as bottle service, or paying for something with the black AMEX. To be clear, there are plenty of non-wealthy folks who do the above to allude to the frame of being wealthy when they are not. At mid 40’s ma…	/r/seduction	24/09/25 01:57 PM
1	Role of money in attraction Money can serve as an instant qualifier, as does social status (fame). With either of these, or combination of, less game/skill is needed. LESS game not NO game.	/r/seduction	24/09/25 05:26 AM
1	Let’s Settle This Once and For All… The best way is to use OLD for passive approach for dating, but IRL for active approach in dating. TL;DR - Both in synergy.	/r/seduction	04/09/25 08:36 PM
3	How important is having had a meaningful first meet with your other half? Most modern relationships are now originating from OLD. It’s not an “exciting” story… because it’s the norm. Cute meets are amazing and makes a great early chapter, however, if that’s the part that’s memorable then it’s probably not a great love story.	/r/seduction	13/07/25 04:36 PM
9	Welp, I got catfished for the first time. Always go with a coffee/tea or cocktail date, allows quick exit that won’t hurt your wallet.	/r/seduction	29/05/25 01:21 PM
1	how do you hold eye contact? All these strategies posted about ways to work around actually making eye contact. I say F that, learn to love looking in a women’s eyes and see their soul. Seriously, find genuine interest in the characteristics of their eyes. Color, shape, eye lash, pupil dilation, etc. Bonus - as you’re mentally noting these characteristics you will naturally maintain eye contact longer.	/r/seduction	05/05/25 02:24 PM
2	[RANT] My Observation of This Sub: Most of You Would Rather Cry Online Than Build Real Confidence I understand your rant, and it can be tiresome with some threads. However, I do recognize that most of the “help me post” guys here are core GenZ entering the field. Not a sleight on them, but they were brought up in a completely different social environment where social interactions were done predominantly over screens. Doing so created a gap in some fundamental skills that translate well to seduction: non-verbal language, eye contact, overcoming fear of rejection, touch escalation, etc. They a…	/r/seduction	16/04/25 03:49 AM
45	Fat guys of seduction, how successful are you? Two choices my guy. Raise your value or lower your standards.	/r/seduction	16/04/25 03:10 AM
1	You can make your own extreme dating platform, how would you make it entertaining and cool? This sounds like the plot of dystopian future of a government backed program to combat declining population replacement rate!	/r/seduction	02/04/25 11:16 PM
1	Experience moving to San Diego Your orbiting. Your buddy is the reason you’re even noticed by these girls, he provides the same thing to them AND you which is access. Capitalize on this opportunity as it is likely fleeting. Approach and calibrate, also fuck IG. You are at such a disadvantage with social media disparity, set your account on private and say you only add “close friends”. Never add them unless you enjoy being their next simp in collection. SoCal is ripe with opportunity, beautiful variety of woman with open minds…	/r/seduction	13/02/25 04:30 PM
2	How to open groups Groups can be great, approach and remind yourself that they are in a social environment. Whether they admit it or not, they likely want to make new friends that night. On initial approach provide equal attention, and absolutely do NOT exclude the FF or you will be dealing with goalie all night. “Heyyy what’s up everybody, vibes seem strong here so I wanted to meet you all.” Another side note on groups - once you broke ice and are socializing with this new group, other less bold guys will see the…	/r/seduction	06/01/25 04:05 PM
3	How is the dating world after 30? Lack of it doesn’t mean you wouldn’t pull, there’s so many options out here. Flavor for everyone.	/r/seduction	17/12/24 03:01 AM
27	How is the dating world after 30? Amazing to be honest if you are in a major metropolitan area. (e.g. LA/NYC)	/r/seduction	16/12/24 07:40 PM
1	Success rate? OLD is 80-90%; granted the frame was already set prior to meetup. Cold approach nears ~50%; selective targeting, however, typically higher quality.	/r/seduction	26/11/24 04:06 PM
1	Can You forgive a Cheater? Sure, people cheat for an assortment of reasons. I had a friend who constantly let herself in a pattern of self-sabotage by cheating due to fear of attachment (trauma) when things started getting more serious with a partner. However, just because you forgive a cheater does not mean you should continue a committed relationship with them. Accept they made a choice that was against your established relationship parameters and move on to someone else.	/r/seduction	20/11/24 05:43 PM
16	Any tips for guys who aren’t attractive? “Be Yourself” is better interpreted as “Be Your BEST Self”. Improve what you can improve about yourself, and embrace what you cannot.	/r/seduction	13/11/24 03:11 PM
1	Is it Really that Hard to Hookup with women in LA? Only competition is yourself right here. Look at this way, you’re on vacation right? Therefore you’re not selling yourself as the provider (long-term), you’re selling yourself as fun experience (short-term). Be up front early that your on vacation, the set will get in mind frame of fun. You then simply give them an exciting/fun day or night. Just take your shots out here brother, the women know what’s up in SoCal.	/r/seduction	13/11/24 06:30 AM
3	Is it Really that Hard to Hookup with women in LA? Who told you that? Los Angeles is bountiful of opportunity everywhere, it’s on you how you’re going to play it.	/r/seduction	13/11/24 06:11 AM
9	How Do I Approach Bringing A Woman Home From A Bar or Club? This. Take initiative in a confident but respectful manner.	/r/seduction	29/10/24 08:39 PM
30	Besides clubs and high end malls what are other places to increase your numbers? Singles Running club. No joke, big fad rn for speed dating-esque environment.	/r/seduction	15/10/24 05:50 PM
11	When did women gain so much leverage? Yup, some guys absolutely using it as an excuse and leads them to an incel adjacent mentality of blaming women. HOWEVER; woman inflated self-value is the market conditions as of late. Like you said, guys need to put in the work to maximize their own “base attraction” and work on their game. I will say most people in the sub seem to recognize this and striving towards that goal of overall self improvement.	/r/seduction	14/10/24 02:38 PM
62	When did women gain so much leverage? It’s talked about a lot in the sub, but the current conditions have women at an exponential inflated value of themselves due to attention received in OLD. 90% of women are typically only interested in the same 10% of men.	/r/seduction	13/10/24 11:52 PM
-5	What are some ways to appear taller as someone who is 5’ 6-3/4”? As a tall guy, I agree. Y’all short dudes act like not being over 6’0 is a disability. Embrace your height, and don’t compensate with a lifted truck. Nothing more funny than watching a short homie climbing down a lifted dually. Want to know a benefit of short guys? Sport cars! It fucking sucks for us tall dudes to get in and out of sport cars. So take your Porsche 511 or Maserati and swoop them hunnys.	/r/seduction	11/10/24 03:29 PM
2	Paying for the meal? Lmao, did this date happen on a weeknight? There are absolutely girls who will agree to their perceived low-value guys just for a free meal/drink during a low priority night like Tuesday. Weekends are reserved for HV.	/r/seduction	10/10/24 02:17 PM
1	Paying for the meal? Yah man, dinner are dates reserved for serious relationships not some rando you met on tinder. Focus on an activity date or apps/drinks only on first date next time. As far as the who pays, always assume you’re going to pay and be pleasantly surprised when they offer to contribute. Now since you’re now assuming you’re paying, you can choose date that will provide way more Kino opportunities for minimal cost. (Ice skating, hike, drinks, dancing, etc.)	/r/seduction	10/10/24 02:12 PM
42	Love bombers that suddenly ghost you lol this is it. She may be your #1 focus in your mind; but you were just a distraction.	/r/seduction	09/10/24 06:09 PM
2	How to move her from the app to text Secure date from app within a few exchanges, don’t waste time building up tension through dozens of texts. My experience is they will typically give you their number to text off app prior to meeting up for date regardless. I ALWAYS respond with “thanks, but let’s wait to exchange numbers until we know we have a connection on our date”. This is key. 1 - I truly don’t want people to have my number until I want them to have a direct line of contact to me. 2 - It creates an unconscious desire to win…	/r/seduction	06/09/24 04:26 PM
1	Dealing with unwanted 3rd wheel Tbh changing venue was best move to reset the vibe. If venue relocation is risky or not feasible, see below. In a bar setting, standing up and entering the conversation in between them would have been an acceptable way to engage. After a few moments of engaging in conversation with both, you turn to the date with your back towards third wheel a creating natural barrier.	/r/seduction	04/09/24 05:58 PM
144	Do girls like it when a guy is checking her body out during flirting/vibing? Absolutely, eyes to thighs then back up to eyes with a smile.	/r/seduction	21/08/24 01:52 PM
0	Freshmen at college, I am an idiot who needs help It’s college, and sounds like you’re at a big city school! No matter what, you will be exposed to so many opportunities to hookup with women. Not suggesting this is the only avenue for success; but will make your life so much easier with regular access to high quality prospects for the next four years. Join a fraternity, one with a good campus reputation. Attend fraternity rush week events. Be social, respectful, positive attitude, and be generally liked by everyone you interact with. If you are…	/r/seduction	15/08/24 03:24 PM
79	Why so hard despite being attractive? LOOKING attractive differs from BEING attractive.	/r/seduction	26/07/24 04:37 AM
19	To Those Who've Had Numerous Partners, Does it All Start to Feel the Same? It can become routine and experiences tend to blend in. Hell even had awkward moments hitting on someone I thought was new to learn I already hooked up with them several months ago… 🤷‍♂️ The real benefit of the volume game is that you start exploring outside your comfort zone and gain an increased perspective on potential partners. New approach playbook, new types of women, and new sexual boundaries.	/r/seduction	17/07/24 11:44 PM
12	Kiss rejection follow up You miss every shot you don’t take, but you won’t make every shot you do take. Hell ya bro for giving it a go, but time to move on to another ball court.	/r/seduction	16/07/24 02:06 PM
149	Should I tell a woman I’m dating my body count if it’s low? Bro. Truth is that there is never a correct answer, you will be too high or too low. So never reveal that number until after you hook up. I always play coy with that question “I’m a virgin 😈”. At worst they are trying to DQ you from whatever criteria they have in their head, at best they evaluating you for STI risk. Good news is, if they prompted this question they are evaluating for sexy time. So if they press, make sure you share how you’re responsible and get tested regularly. (Actually get t…	/r/seduction	26/06/24 02:07 PM
18	Would you fuck a girl who likes guys barebacking her, but is on prEp? Don’t play with fire… or your gonna pee fire! 🤣😂	/r/seduction	31/10/22 06:15 PM
76	Would you fuck a girl who likes guys barebacking her, but is on prEp? PreP reduces HIV transmission when taken APPROPRIATELY. HSV aka Herpes can still be spread… Not to mention all the other crap you can pick up. TL;DR - Put a helmet on your soldier before you send him into battle!	/r/seduction	31/10/22 05:06 PM
92	GF is Bi. How and where do I find a third? This. Don’t be overly eager about the opportunity either, let her lead entirely on this one.	/r/seduction	24/10/22 11:33 PM
4	So guys, do you think this guy likes me? There’s a general rule that tells men to leave women alone in the gym. Not necessarily a hard fast rule but one nonetheless. If your interested you will need to make it obvious that you are interested; recommend you just break the ice wall by saying “Hi my name is OP” with a friendly smile or simply eye contact smile and wave when walking past. He will know approaching you at that point moving forward is encouraged and not bothersome.	/r/seduction	13/10/22 01:27 PM
5	How to get girls at college without playing sports? College is the best time to make connections! It’s such a social environment, just make connections all day with every person (men and women) and you will find your people. Every new person is an opportunity to expand your social circle, and bring forth opportunities to meet women.	/r/seduction	02/09/22 02:45 AM
15	Asking a girl’s friends about her, to get her attention. Not bad since sounds like you were unable to get direct interaction with her normally. Keep in mind that if it is a favorable frame the coworkers will wing you; be a fun and likable guy to them. Use it to your advantage, and if when she is called to engage you next time confidently enjoy the moment.	/r/seduction	18/08/22 08:02 PM
3	How to say you're only looking for sex? Plug the term “fun” any chance you get. E.g. you sound fun, I like to have fun, let’s go do some fun shit together	/r/seduction	09/08/22 04:22 PM
1	How to respond when a girl wants you to fight for her? Stand up for your girl if she can’t for herself. A verbal confrontation does not always lead to a physical one, however, you should reevaluate your company if she expects you to inflict physical violence on someone in her honor over a petty comment.	/r/seduction	28/07/22 08:16 PM
35	How to tell other women you've been dating you found someone Stop making plans with them. If they reach out to make plans and/or you have to cancel existing plans then you can cross that bridge. Key is to not burn bridges, never know where life may take you. Ghosting is worse unless you are intentionally ready to drop them as a connection.	/r/seduction	25/07/22 08:24 PM
1	Do some guys really ask the girl if they can kiss her on a first date? And i also heard this girl who is a dating coach tell guys that one way they can be a good kisser is to ask her consent before you go for a kiss! How do you guys feel about that? Consent is sexy.	/r/seduction	21/07/22 08:33 PM
1	Visible hickey Wowwwwww. I was laughing my ass off about this one and desperate enough to try it….. and it worked so damn well! We’re back in play brothers!! 💪🏼	/r/seduction	03/06/22 04:14 AM
5	Visible hickey I was thinking maybe blaming paintball?	/r/seduction	02/06/22 06:18 PM
