The fuck is this rambling?
She might be wearing headphones, with another male
So you're approaching chicks who are with their boyfriends? It's because of bullshit like that PUAs are getting banned from shopping malls.

If she has earbuds in she doesn’t want to be bothered.

Kinda preaching to the choir, no? I assume most people in this sub know this since many on here have seen PUAs and what they've said about this, and what other users have said about this too.
I wouldnt suggest approaching someone who is wearing earbuds since they typically do not want to be bothered. If I'm wearing earbuds, I wanna do what I gotta do and not be disturbed

I wear earbuds often on my commute, but I’m always open to conversation with someone interesting.

PUAs can be successful talking themselves into situations they're not very welcomed in, that isnt a reason to do it in the first place. I set boundaries for myself when gaming. Ex: while I might be friendly with waitresses, unless shes being blatant that shes into me I dont try to game her, shes working. not everyone wants to be seduced while in public.
You should always look for IOIs and gauge the girls comfort level.

Um bro, don’t approach those women? That’s just dumb. If I have headphones in or a girl with me, idc how hot the girl is that approached me; I’m mad. Know your lane

I just don’t think when I approach. I see a girl and I block out the thoughts in my mind that go something like “what if she’s not single, or if I will creep her out etc.” I just go for what I want and block out the doubt. I ask myself “if I was a kid at a playground, how would I act ?”

NEVER approach without first analysing a situation. They could be UNDERAGED. It has happened to me quite a few times. It is TOO DANGEROUS to simply run in to a situation without a careful analysis of what it is first.
I have followed the "zero second rule" before and the girl has been underaged. NEVER go straight into a situation.
So what if she is ? Ask her age, laugh about it, and politely excuse yourself.

Thank you very much. I just went for a walk and I couldn't do a single approach. I kept thinking how I hate myself and when I got into an eye-contact with a girl, I kept wondering what is she thinking about me? My critic came in and said, well, it's your ugly face dummy. I have never dated at 30yrs old and people are on my case about having kids and marriage. I mean, I'm not under pressure of having kids but I really want to accept and love myself unconditionally. I want to be free of outcome and approach respectfully and to the best of my ability. I know, I'm on a rant but I just wanted to let loose for a little bit. I will be saving this post for reference when I am feeling down to let me know that, It's okay to approach.
