Hey all, longtime lurker here, and I had a question for all you expert Red Pillers and PUAs here. The gist of it is this. I am and have always been fairly overweight, (5'5"/ 250lbs). Luckily I also have a generally large muscle and bone structure, so my weight is not a large detriment to my health. It is, however, a detriment to my game. I unplugged about 5mos. ago, and have since been actively attempting to use more game, but I find I have a lot of difficulty approaching. Before you say it, I know its a numbers game, but even comparing to other like minded friends, I don't seem to have that window a thinner men would have, even if my opener is better. If I can get an opening, I tend to be very successful, but it seems that I can't get an opening without an assist or a pre-existent link. Anyone have any suggestions? Interested especially if you've tried to game while being overweight.

Pre-Emptive Note: I am working hard on losing weight, and have lost about 15lbs already. I'm looking for interim fixes to my problem.
