I live in central London - the city of millions of people, ranked one of the loneliest places on the god damn planet if you can believe that. I've noticed that in the past few years cold approaching has become significantly more challenging.

People say online gaming sucks and cold approaching in real is the way to go. So lately I was observing high density areas such as Oxford Street (one of the highest foot traffic areas in the world) and Westfield Stratford City (one of the largest shopping centers in Europe). Here's the biggest irony - those chicks "in real" are not really in real are they? They're all plugged in to the fucking Twitter-Instagram-Snapchat matrix 247. An average chick out there will be walking with earphones, talking on the phone, tweeting and taking selfies all at the same time, towing her shopping loot and being supervised by some mother hen or surrounded by her friends or orbiters. You have better chances of intercepting a Panzer 7 tank than her. 10 years ago a girl reading a book on a park bench would be a normal sight, today you have better chances of seeing a fucking unicorn.

I notice there's this popular advice on this sub is to join some hobby or activity and meet women organically. That doesn't really work for guys who are mostly interested in activities heavily dominated by men, does it? Joining something that you don't quite like with the mind to meet women wouldn't be quite organic, would it? Unfortunately there are many guys out there who have no other choice but to go meet women with that specific goal in mind or "outcome dependence" as I believe it is called.
