So I wouldnt consider myself a pick-up artist but a natural day gamer. I started "day gaming" back when I was 18 years old and a cashier at a whole foods market in a very upscale beach town in California. As you would imagine i had tons of practice kind of flirting with dozens of HB7-8+ per day for years. Eventually this extended to me approaching women casually when running errands, at the gas station, in class, etc.

To cut to the chase, this "confidence" combined with me being a 9/10 on the looks scale makes me a "Chad" . I understand this is very humblebraggy but let me explain why i am telling you guys this:

I had a concussion around 2 weeks ago, and this has forced me to wear sunglasses in the sun for the next 3-4 weeks.

I have done my usual approaching during my daily life, and although the "energy" and "vibe" and bantering/giggling is still there, these women are flaking way more often. The only difference? Im wearing sunglasses.. I have thought deeply upon this and i feel that women dont trust you without seeing your eyes from an evolutionary perspective.. hence the importance of eye contact.

You may think that maybe im wearing some silly sunglasses, but they are not. They are nice ones that I get just as much IOI's in as i do without them.. which means that they arent making me look goofy or tacky like some cheap sunglasses can do to people if you buy the wrong ones.

Now im just wondering if anyone has a similar experience getting phone numbers and dates (without flakes) from approaching with sunglasses.
