Are they 2 different skills?

There seems to be a separate set of skills to become good at cold approaching, which then allows you to practise talking to a lot of people.

Then there are a separate set of skills for lifestyle and social circle game, which allows you to meet people you're compatible with, or high-value people.

If that's the case I should spend 1 year cold approaching, then 1 year on lifestyle game.

Does anyone here have any thoughts on how effective cold approaching is for improving social skills? And is lifestyle game where the best results come from?

Happy to hear anything as there are no right or wrong answers. I'm open to everyone's opinion.
