So basically "Be desperate. Meet desperate. Be asshole. Lay doormat. Flee. Repeat."?

Get laid then enter the real world and do things that are actually important

Advice like this is so cringe. Not necessarily bc it doesn't work, but its framed for such a specific individual. You can get away with the aloof, negging douchy front if you're attractive, of if you're just in a higher league than her. But OPs advice won't apply to the average dude because of how naturally douchy or oblivious you have to be in conjunction with being really attractive.
This advice is essentially saying "be someone else...all the time." Which just isn't realistic bc at some point if being a narcissistic, manipulative asshole isn't your natural frame, the facade will wear off. At some point females can just tell your being phoney and you're not such a great actor anymore, and it'll be a huge turn-off. That and you can't just be a total negging dick all the time. There has to be a balance of that with charm, and demonstrating some interest. Even the most conceited, pompous, haughty dude in the world still has to show a different layer now and then. And that becomes a entirely different balancing act. Not saying most of the stuff doesn't work to an extent, but its going to be pointless to most on this sub, logically.

Dear god. Thats a straight block if you act like a cock.

Who tf has time enough to cold approach 7-30 women in one day? Mfers, I work 8-12 hours a day, six days a week on average. I can barely drag myself out of bed more than half an hour before I need to leave for work. Where am I supposed to find time to approach anyone, and where tf am I supposed to even do it?
Edit: No punctuation or capitalization while texting? Y'all have no clue how to make that one make sense do you?
Edit 2: Tl;dr, if you wanna be perceived as a misogynistic asshat, go right ahead and follow this advice. Have fun being alone emotionally, if not physically
[–]mjornir 3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don’t think I see 7-30 women in one day lol

Why only hey Isn’t that boring?
[–]ssuperiormen -1 points0 points1 point 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Don’t show too much investment. Works great. If she answers you know she’s interested.
[–]UprightEeyore 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Wow, how illogical, like you believe you're reading someone's mind. How can you be certain she's not simply responding to you as a human being would? A "hey" is neutral af and in no way would I automatically perceive any response as "Oh shit, she's interested!"
Edit: An image pops into mind of some scene kid flipping his hair out of his eye and lazily saying, "hey," while making a point to ignore her for a moment or two because he's just. that. cool.

interested in screenshotting your dumb texts so the internet can laugh at you

What’s the purpose/mechanics behind not using a compliment when doing an approach? I feel like that’s a good honest disarming technique but I’d like to hear an opposing take
[–]GDAWG13007 5 points6 points7 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
To add to this, I would also say to approach and talk to people in general. A lot of guys who have problems getting girls who come here probably also don’t have great social skills anyway. They need to learn how to talk to everybody.
[–]PrettyLittlePenguin 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes, don't be yourself and use tricks so you put women even more in an ivory tower. Approach women but be yourself. This might score you a short term date but can fuck you up in the long run. Then again if you're desperate go for it, any action is better than no action.

So what you're saying is, you're a virgin.

This is quite literally the dumbest shit

Thanks Barstool for sending me to this little gem. Safe to say OP has NEVER been laid before, unless you're counting implements of husbandry and/or kinfolk

If I had the authority to upvote this post 1000fold I would, this is the only practical and truthful advice I have seen on this sub.
I have taken heavy downvotes for saying stuff like;"No compliments, no validation, use your time constraints, set the logistics". If there is one thing I learned about reddit, truth gets downvotes, people can't handle reality.
[–]ssuperiormen 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
This is why I am using multiple accounts. Most people have to be left dreaming. I learned that quickly after trying to argue about feminism once. Since this experience I never appeal to truth in public. There are few friends with which I can be absolutely honest.

[–]PickALaneYouMug 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Fuck yeah. Agreed.
[–]nevertextgoodnight 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Honestly... Not bad
[–]ssuperiormen 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
By the way. Real advice is intended to be painful. Otherwise it would be useless flattering. And you want to move forward not just feeling good but actually becoming an object you can feel good about.

the people downvoting this are weak
[–]ssuperiormen -2 points-1 points0 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wise words.

I am also here from the Barstool article to pile on
[–]Xx_didgy_xX -1 points0 points1 point 5 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
This is creepy as shit
[–]ssuperiormen 8 points9 points10 points 5 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
That’s your problem but it indeed works for men.
[–]Xx_didgy_xX -1 points0 points1 point 5 years ago* (6 children) | Copy Link
You're reducing encounters and the people involved to some numeric component of a formula. It's gross. It seems predatory.
[–]ExtremeCentrism 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I don’t agree with everything but he’s not wrong. Approaching multiple people per day is a great way to build confidence and to get higher percentage rates of success. Who do you think is more likely to succeed someone who encounters only one person a day or 7 a day?
[–]Xx_didgy_xX -1 points0 points1 point 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I mean, I do agree with that, but it's... the details of this formula he's presented that I find a tad icky at best.
There are exceptions (few) but experience has shown that it works when used by men. For you (assuming you are a woman) the advice here is irrelevant.
[–]totallytators -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is just sales.
[–]Infinite_Relation_86 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It’s how it works. Successful people have a system. Sides we are just pieces of meat to each other any way. Just different types of meat. Women are beauty objects and men are success objects.
I see also that your a chick, this is a part of manhood that girls just either don’t have to deal with or opt out of learning entirely.
[–]Global-Bridge-6787 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Quick logical question: if you’re getting her number, how does a profile picture fit into this? Not being facetious. I’m asking because that would only appear on someone’s social media.
[–]ssuperiormen 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I was thinking about WhatsApp. Many people don’t have a profile pic of themselves if at all.
[–]Katuzi 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Is a shirtless mirror selfie good as profile picture?
[–]ssuperiormen 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It’s not good it’s perfect.

LOL! This has to be a joke right? These are some of the worst ideas I’ve ever came across. You can’t possibly be serious lol
[–]classified31 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
OP is just regurgitating The Game Yes it works, but this is one of the dumbest ways I’ve ever seen it described in my entire life.
