I went to the mall today and set a 3 hour timer. The goal was to get a phone number within those 3 hours. If I got a number I could leave early.

The experience was more productive than any other times I've went out with intention to approach women. The timer really puts me on a mission. It was also helpful that I had some errands to run in-between to structure my rounds.

I've done cold approaches in the past but never got really confident with it. I have only been able to open women on their own and not groups.

For this session I just used my basic opener. "Hey, I think you're beautiful and I want to get to know you". Most women are flattered by this and if they decline or mention they're taken then I tell them to have a nice day.

I approached maybe 3 or 4 women and had some small conversations otherwise.

The timer run out while I sat for lunch, but in the end I approached a retail worker in front of her colleagues and got the number. It was a wholesome exchange.

My Learnings: - Women from a perceived higher social class than me are very approachable. It just never seemed like it was something I should do. - So many beautiful women move in groups and I figure the most growth will come from opening groups. Especially with handling men in those groups - I would like to date women within my tax bracket, and they don't work in malls. I need to find a better way to meet women

This is all I have for now. Hope you found something insightful.
