Something I’ve learned from observing other people when out and about is that guys who usually follow the advice to show “status” or “social proof” end up posturing all evening and don’t get to the point when trying to set up a date/hookup with a woman, it usually ends up with her losing interest because the guy is more interested in getting validation from others instead of talking to the girl and making something happen.

It’s much more efficient to approach, then get a conversation going, exchange phone numbers, and set up a time and place to meet up, it’s simple and right to the point, I wouldn’t even exchange social media handles, save that for another day when you get to know her. The flexing and social posturing is a waste of time and guys that do that almost always look like obnoxious clowns that end up going home alone and empty handed with no date or phone number. Attracting a girl isn’t rocket science that the red pill and PUA’s make it out to be. Cut out the extra crap and it’s much easier, it also gives you the ability to quickly gauge whether a woman is interested in you or not.
