Almost never.
A sleazy sales man wants to force his products on people, I don't because I'm looking for connection and interest on both ends.
If there is no connection, I just eject. I still have given value to her day, because she e.g. got a compliment and met a friendly stranger (me).
A sleazy salesman sells cheap/useless products, I'm neither cheap nor useless.
I don't think the sleazy sales man is even the most common negative box, in which women put guys, who approach them, when they perceive the act negatively. The most common box is the weirdo.
Even a sleazy sales man will finally encounter someone, who is interested in his product.

Neat perspective, thanks for sharing.

'I'm neither cheap nor useless' This hit me so hard. I just realized that we men are also human beings and if the general rule is that we have to approach women then we shouldn't be ashamed of doing what we're supposed to do.

Yeah, I somewhat agree.
[–]atomant88 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Nope, I feel like I'm the shopper.
Old adventures I found mine. Good shopping friend

No bc I have fun, bring a fun vibe, and I always notice that people have as much or more fun once I’m there. And I’m a good person just out meeting people, and having fun.

Cold approaches are a thing of the past. We live in the feminist digital revolution so this is perceived as creepy, unless your social skills are off the hook.

Good for us guys, who do it, so we stand out of the crowd even more.

The good thing is, everyone can improve his social skills.
[–]zexwyomom 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Lmao, if you don’t approach people, how you gonna make your social skills off the hook???
[–]DragonDinner22 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
By socializing in a context outside of trying to get into panties

Right, no more real life where the average guy actually has a chance.
Only the digital world where dating is played on easy mode for women and hard mode for men.
[–]DragonDinner22 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
The only way to win in the digital world is to be good looking. Even then, it's not a walk in the park.

Sorry, I thought we were in the sales subreddit! Lol, my bad! I sometimes get lost in reddit.

New advice, be bold, be yourself, respect yourself, and those around you, and believe you have something to offer. I'll now slowly exit this convo.
Thanks for your input!
[–]History-Rhymes- -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Cold approaching is not creepy unless
- You have fooled yourself into believing the act itself is creepy
- You're actually a creepy dude
Either way, I would suggest you do some introspection to see which one it is. Then act accordingly, and improve.

Nothing, just wallow away in loneliness because that's the only thing left to do

I mean I got addicted to going to the gym, so at least I have that cope going for me.
[–]shared0 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link
Wow, I mean good for you because for me the gym only makes me more depressed. Besides seeing results which is the only good part, having to do all the work of lifting is not rewarding at all.
Being happy is what would make me tolerate going to the gym but going to the gym would not make me happy. So it's completely reversed for me.
[–]TooMuchJibberish 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
Hmm, yea initially I was kind of indifferent about it but eventually I started liking the pump. And I'm not even working out optimally either. I'm still trying to figure out my a good routine and improve my diet.
I don't know if it has to do with the fact that I use it to take my anger and pains out on the weights but I definitely can't go a week without missing it now.
Sometimes I like to remind myself the fact of all the girls that have rejected me and saw me as ugly, that usually does the trick in getting me riled up and being ready for the workout.
Uhh man, I'm glad that works for you but I'd be the complete opposite of that. I'd be way more tempted to do drugs and get a high to escape a horrible reality personally.
Anyways dude, don't give up. Hope you find someone soon!
[–]TooMuchJibberish 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
I doubt they'll happen, to be honest I'm basically lost almost all hope in that department as I'm too old already.
If I haven't found someone by now, it's just not going to happen.
But good thing is the weights will be there for me for the pump even though I'm an amateur lifter

It's considered creepy to approach women now, according to women themselves. Even a simple "hello" is considered an unwarranted approach now, I sure as hell wouldn't want to get in any legal trouble just for shooting my shot.
[–]shared0 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
I don't think you'll get in legal trouble for saying hello dude.
[–]TooMuchJibberish -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Can't be too sure nowadays
[–]shared0 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Nah man, that's way too far fetched. Haha.
[–]TooMuchJibberish -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I have proof btw lol, I kept seeing a bunch of posts saying women hated being approached and that they hate when they're spoken to at bars and clubs, etc.
So again, can't be too sure anymore
[–]Krouser1522 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You must realize that Reddit is not a representative sample of women all over I still talk to women all the time in public. When I used to cold approach hundreds of women ten years ago to get dates to now I just approach just to be friendly and have conversations I have only got a few interactions that was a bit uncomfortable where you can tell they just didn’t want to talk to me..most of the time I have had good interactions.
[–]shared0 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That's very different from legal stuff lol.
Sure some women don't like X. But what does that even mean. Not all people agree to like anything.
[–]TooMuchJibberish -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I understand, but all it takes is one wrong girl you say hi to that can possibly ruin your life or career if she labels you a creep, calls security and LE, etc you get fired from your job.
Here's a good example below:

No I have, back in my college days (about 2 years ago before COVID I did it quite a bit) and I did it only a few times outside of that.

Never ever cold approach
Why?

Man rsd tyler addresses this perfectly. You should come from a mindset you are valuable diamond and if you are talking to people you are the definition of value hence giving value.
Watch blueprint decoded from piratebay.
Easier said than done (pretty hard if you have traumas from childhood and other insecurities like height/money/job/ethnicity etc) but if you correct your inner mind and mentality/inner confidence the world will seem much more beautiful to you in every way not just in picking up girls
