The moment you make eye contact, you either say something or she thinks you're a bitch. Never look away but you also need to do something about it. Go for what you want.
What do you say? Well, you should already have that one tailored specifically for her before you make eye contact. Say something positive about her that she can identify with that she probably hasn't notice.
If you're a real boss, you could just ignore her while getting in her physical area while exuding confidence, masculine energy, and demonstrating that people around her like you more than her. That will cause her to open open. But that's more rare and I'd go with the former.

I'm sorry but approaching doesn't work, they have to know you well enough beforehand... what I'm saying is, it's either you're approaching as part of your social circle game, or it's a no-go.
The "true" approach or cold approach, as described here? This has been largely debunked as a myth, and sold by unscrupulous snake-oil artists like RSD among others.
One exception I'll grant? If you're legit attractive and conventional, then sure, you will find cold approach sometimes works. But that's hardly inspiring. Majority of guys ain't like that. In such a case, it's rare for a cold approach to lead to good result.
It's all about social circle or status, really. There's no approach to be done outside of that, unless you want 1000 approaches to get one lucky result... not to mention, think about the effect on your reputation?
We know that 99% of women don't like to be approached. Doesn't even matter if they smile or look at you--that's not an invitation. That's usually just being social/polite for the sake of it.

Well, I guess I must be a model or something because I strictly ride solo and virtually all of my action has come from cold approach.
I'm sorry you've had this negative experience and had it reinforced to the point where you profess it with such certainty. While I may feel annoyed by your remarks are so starkly differ from my experience, my heart actually breaks a little bit for you as I believe your perspective is limiting you from terrific experiences.
Are pick up artists scam artists? Yes and no.
[–]Aeon199 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Well it's a lot of things that led me to this conclusion. It's realizing that pick-up 'coaches' including RSD Tyler all have a massive problem. They are all routinely debunked by folks who use critical thinking, frankly.
Can't remember the name of this guy, but one very sagacious YouTuber explained why half of it is all nonsense, with carefully tailored and edited "in-field" videos, to raise the hopes for autistic or otherwise awkward men... who have all but zero chance of going up to someone they don't know, and getting desirable result from it. But before they develop their critical thinking skill, they're apt to be good customers to pay for subscriptions, e-books, workshops, and all of that. One has to be willfully blind not to notice how this works, and how cynical it tends to be. It's a business, first.
Also? I'm in a conversation now with someone who read one of my comments, where I said "if I can't do social circle game, what else is left?" and they're telling me not to bank on approaching. Here's one of the things they said:
It never works out, I’m speaking from thousands of cold approach experiences and seeing plenty of other mens cold approaches Even if she smiled at you, it doesn’t mean shit
It never works out, I’m speaking from thousands of cold approach experiences and seeing plenty of other mens cold approaches

Look I'll admit my views on this tend to flip-flop a bit, but the more I look around, the more I begin to think "approaching" is a myth save for great looking guys. And I ain't that.
All of this put together makes me realize I probably have no options left given I'm a wee bit too old to begin, already. And if I can't quite do the social game given my autism/avoidance, and the approach game is too problematic for multiple reasons, there's nothing left. There's online, but that only works for top 10% guy, and i'm not even close.

I'm not even a dating coach and I know I could at least get you a decent reaction. The trouble is you are completely identified with futility. That's the only challenge you face, in reality. Girls date hideous guys all the time. Even broke guys that are ugly can get girls. It's all in your perspective. Try harder.
[–]Aeon199 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
Alright, but could I be myself, though? I don't know that I can realistically emulate extroversion. I'm not just introverted, I'm also on the spectrum. There's too much distance between my core traits and "extroverted" traits to seem believable, without giving it away, without seeming "try hard" and thus creepy.
I hardly even know how to do "social" anything, in a sense, anymore. I've lost a lot of that over time due to avoidance. They aren't really even skills I care to resurrect that much, most of it rubs me the wrong way, especially group dynamics!
So, after all this, you think you could still assist in getting good results?
[–]userisauser 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
Yikes. Your problem is that you think you know everything already. In those two paragraphs you baked in so many conclusions, assumptions, and socially conditioned limitations.
Try hard doesn't have to be creepy. There's no such thing as introvert and extrovert, just things that excite you and things that don't. It's in you, it's on you to find what brings it out.
"Avoidance" another psychology term you probably picked up somewhere and you're letting reinforce your comfort zone. You project this image that you are this handicapped kid wearing ear muffs to protect himself from the world. Yet, you are somehow simultaneously perfectly self aware. You need to start seeing yourself differently.
Stop acting like you know everything. Start believing you can be successful if you learn from new experiences.
Challenge your beliefs. Challenge your limitations. Challenge what you already believe to be true.

You sound like classic black-pill theory here lol.
Cold approaching has never worked FOR YOU.
Women do like being approached, if they're in the right mood, you have the right game, and if you're the 'right guy'. Being the right guy is a choice you make by constantly improving yourself but of course not every woman will be receptive. It's somewhat a numbers game in that sense as you need to keep going for it but knowing that eventually with enough self improvement, enough game, and enough attempts you will strike a fire.
I have had many success stories from cold approaching but it only works when the woman wants it to work. You will not trick her or conive her through some PUA bullshit. They are sexual beings too and are interested in men taking action. Don't forget this fact!
[–]Aeon199 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
I mean the irony is, you're probably not too far-off from my view on it there, the main difference being you think cold approach could work if a guy isn't above average in looks. But what you got between the lines ain't much better.
You probably mean, "Approach could still work if you don't have the looks or musculature. But then you'd have to offer the good status/money. And that's what gives you the green light, in that position. They have a lot of options, if you're not a winner in looks, you've got to be a winner in life, that's how it is."
I mean, if that's what you got between your lines, how is that not also "cynical"? In fact such concepts are preached quite religiously by R-Pill. This place is supposed to be more about the process, about mindset, and less about competing in society. That's what I'd rather believe, but I gave up on such ideals long ago because I'm too far out of the loop, to believe anymore.
I mean if you wanted to inspire me, you could uphold those ideals i've lost--that a guy doesn't need great looks or good status, or even social normality, provided he gains confidence in himself and approaches--but then I guess that'd just be false hope, at this point...

Sounds like you just have a confidence issue,5’11” by itself is an attractive feature for women. Ong the amount of confidence I feel just wearing 2” lifts is night an day an I’m still shorter than you.
At this point in your natural state you just need to start up some conversations. Literally just conversations no game or seduction required. Make a few female friends at the gym that you greet regularly an in two weeks there will be less staring an more of them just coming over to talk to you an shit. Invite some out to hang as friends, Eventually they will make a move on you if you haven’t made one yourself.

The test here is that whenever a girl looks at you, you gotta pull out your dick and see if they suck it.
This is known in the Ancient Chinese Texts, as simply, "The Trial."

Smile. If she smiles back, approach.
[–]Delicatestatesmen 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Guys project all the time.. they think girls are staring at them or looking at them.. this is a projection from your imagination. You think girls are wanting you and staring at you when they are not. In the off chance they are who cares unless she likes you or wants you she will put herself in your orbit or make herself known. If its just a stare then it means jack shit.
If she waves at you or comes next to you then your getting what we call choosing signals.

U must be pretty ugly if u lookmaxed and still a 7

dont be ridiculous
absolute clown you are
[–]Archyblackcat 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
He’s right lol good looking means 7.5 and up .. 7 is average .. 5 is not even passing so average is 6-7 and 7.5 and up is the top 25% which is good looking .. 1 out of 4 … it’s subjective though in the eyes of every person where you stand
[–]MagicGnome97 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
5 is average, 7 is above average. It doesn't work in percentiles, that would mean 10% are 9 or above which isn't true.
You can usually gain like 2-3 points looksmaxxing imo.
[–]Archyblackcat 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Average is just not ugly but also not cute …

Simpler the better. Smile at her, walk up to her, hold out your hand and say "hi". This is a bold self confident approach. Keep in mind though, just b/c someone looks doesn't mean they are interested. They might be attached, etc.

24m, shredded with a sick jawline; gym 5 days a week, maybe Saturdays to get a pump before going out.
-From my experience, this is my take:
#1 Women want attention; seduce her by not giving a shit about her. If she's interested in you, there are major signs (E.g. she's bending her booty over in a nonchalant way, purposely waiting to hit an exercise to impress you (and show off her goods), and purposely making effort to workout near you.. etc.)
--If you play this right, you'll make her panties so moist, because she'll think she's not enough for you, but in reality, you'd marry her in Vegas tonight.
#2 Scope out and understand the situation. Is she single? Is her man a beta? Women are very emotional creatures and are equally, if not more likely to cheat under the heat of the moment. Younger chicks are more likely, but older women require a little more effort. It all depends on the ambiance and how you set up your relationship with her.
--Don't be demoralized for making her cheat, you're actually helping her man see her for who she is (glass half full). In football, just because there's a goalie doesn't mean you can't score.
#3 Show her that you're not a creep. No need to start up a random conversation, but ease it in. My favorite technique is to simply ask her if shes using the grip or machine. Stray away from asking her how many sets she has because this could give her anxiety (and reinforce yours).
-My 2 cents, kind of lazy to continue writing this, but do let me know if you have any questions. I'm currently trying to smash a new chick every week organically (without dating apps), so I have some experience under my belt.
[–]Iceman702 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Bro not every chick is going to bend over and show there ass to the guy. Unless he pulling like that……plastic we got a rookie here bro he needs some practical advice.
[–]plasticlightsaber69 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
He reminds me of myself when I was younger. Trying to show him the ropes, because everyone memed the shit out of him in the replies..
[–]Iceman702 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Bro, just walk up to her and say “I couldn’t help but notice you, and I wanted to introduce myself to you. My name is …….” Start from there bro ask her if she wants coffee or lunch. Focus the convo on her bro. unless she ask you something about you. Show her your interested right off the back.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Look at her back, maybe even smile sometime. If she fancies you, she will become ecstatic. If you receive many positive signals, you can casually come to her with something like "Hey, I like your gaze, I'm XYZ. Wanna take a walk?"

Here's a real world story for you :
Nearly every morning I go for a jog through the same path by a nearby river. I usually run shirtless and after a workout so I'm in my 'maxed out confidence' vibe and feeling good.
Over the course of last year I crossed paths on my jog with this very cute brunette girl and she would always look at me intently and smile as I jogged passed. I must have crossed her path 3 or 4 dozen times, always with a smile and a stare. The attraction seemed palpable.
About a week ago, I saw her again on my jog path and made a determination that today I'm going to do more than just smile, so I did. After running by her and smiling and staring I looped back around and caught up to her while she sat on a bench. I said hey! I always see you as I'm running by and wanted to introduce myself. She giggled and told me her name. We sparked a conversation that turned into an hour long deep dive into each other's lives, our passions, our work, our outlooks on life. I sat on the bench next to her and it felt like a romantic date right there on the spot. We had so much in common and there was a strong flirtatious oura.
Finally, I had to go to make it in time for a meeting. I walked with her back to the park entrance and went to ask for her number but there was resistance. So to make it more casual I simply asked for her IG and told her jokingly I'll slide into her DMs. She accepted my IG request and first thing I see is a profile filled with her and her long term, loving fiance.
So does staring mean you should approach? Yes! Does it mean she wants you to approach? TBD. You will never know until you do it.
Bro relax just cause a girl is checking you out doesn’t mean she likes you.. them just like us check out the opposite sex when the chance arises.. you must have really low self esteem to get exited because a girl checks you out… a ton of girls always check me out too but I don’t think nothing of it, I check out girls too just for the fuck of it … if you like her though approach
