currently off social media completely but the thought came to me that instagram is perfect for cold approach. I get #'s almost every time now since I've gotten better at it, but 90-95% of the time goes nowhere. I get great enthusiastic reactions in person so I can only assume they're on the fence and then decide against it. They'll text back like half the time, and then after that it goes nowhere. I know that I'm doing some shit right bc I've managed to bang 5 girls during COVID (past year) off doing like 2 or so approaches per week.

I feel like if instead of exchanging #s I just add her on insta and have her follow me back. I don't even think you'd need anything crazy, just like 500-700 followers with some pictures that show you have some semblance of social status. If it doesn't work out, at worst you've gained a new follower (which will help in the long-run). I feel like the whole concept of a # lowers your chances, there's no narrative behind a #, no profile picture they see when they message you. A # doesn't create any emotion, it's boring.

Any guys on here experiment with this? Instagram vs. number for cold approaches? What worked better for you? Is this a waste of time?

I'm considering building up an instagram solely for this purpose. I think people on here exaggerate that you need like 10K followers or you're a loser. My goal isn't to attract them through instagram, just get girls who are on the fence to show up.

EDIT: lmao see the downvotes coming in just for mentioning instagram, boomers working overtime tonight.
