Many would say that you need the confidence to approach a girl, instead, I feel confident after the approach. This is because you can choose to talk to any girls.

Also, I think guys that do approach have a higher internal locus of control. High internal locus of control is similar to personal control, and people with a high internal locus of control tend to do better in life.

I know this sub is about seducing, and I'm turning this topic into confident, but I started approaching just because I didn't have the confidence.

In the end, I feel that confidence is still more important than picking up girl, because with that you can actually talk to girls normally in social circle, or just generally more people.
