Ya'll really just wander the street going up to random people and talking to them? Seems kind of absurd. It seems like women would be very on their guard and you would have to play a big numbers game to connect with anyone. And even if you find someone decently attractive how do you know if you have any mutual interests/values etc whatsoever?

Seems like building your social circle, meeting through mutuals, clubs, sports teams, dating apps would all be much better methods.
