NOTE: This will be a very very long post and even tho I know majority of people on this sub only read and interact with posts that give them material for mental masturbation (example: how to fix AA and girls are just like us bro ) I will write this out for the few people who are serious about this and will help them with their journey or give them another outlook on this.

BEFORE I go into this I will tell you my state of life and what I work with and you be the judge of my SMV. I'm 21. I live in the city center, I drive a VW Golf GTI 2018. I'm finishing school to be a commercial pilot. I'm 6'3 I workout and im at around 12-14% bf. I do kick boxing/MMA for 3 years now. I dress nice and own some designer clothes that I wear to clubs or during the day, they are low-key but one can still tell the brand. I was always an extrovert and I would say my confidence is relatively high purely from the lifestyle I lived and friends I have.

Now to go into approaches. I was never into the PUA way of going out and doing 10-20 approaches a day. I was more of a lifestyle approach type. I'd approach 1-3 girls a day. Some days when I had nothing to do I'd go out into the city and do approaching best I did was 5 before I got tired and bored and went home.

Out of the 100 approaches I managed to go on 6 dates. This is talking PURELY from cold approaches not IG or tinder.

I noticed if the girl I down to go on a date with you she is down to go all the way meaning sex/relationship/kiss on first date whatever.

This sub reddit likes to tell you how you stand out from other men how they will view you as this confident brave guy and will be intrigued by you. While I can't say that's a lie. At least in my country majority will view you like you are thirsty or something is up with you or you are filming a video or you are low value. Basically they won't take you serious. As opposed to if you hit them up on IG. They think IG guys are high value who dont have time to chase girls while cold approaching you are low value who goes around approaching everyone. OFC this is not every girl. A lot complemented my bravery told me it was amazing how guys never do this etc etc. But a lot also gave off the vibe and comments that I mentioned to you previously.

Out of the 6 dates I really only liked 2 and out of those 2 I didn't like any of them enough to want a relationship with them. I did these approaches from December 15th when my gf left me to now may 28th.

My conversations went mostly like: ''hey I noticed you while I was sitting at the cafe and thought it would be tragic I didn't introduce myself'' after a bit of chit chat id ask ''so what do u usually do when you're not stopped by strangers on the street(or wherever the location) bit more chit chat where I tell her about myself she tells me about herself and I tell her we should hang out sometime cue asking for ig or number.

I had 2 methods. If I had a short convo id give her my IG so she would get even more familiar with me viewing my page and shit. If I had a longer convo and felt a good vibe id ask for her number.

Did I notice any method gave me better result? Nope. Random as hell. With my number closes 4 didn't respond at all and like 4-5 flaked on the date. Went on an actually first date with only 3 girls that gave me their number.

While on IG they won't leave me on seen completely and not respond it would either be a very short boring message or after a convo they would hit me with the ''ill let you know if im free'' or ''we'll see''. I let them hit me up after that which they never did.

Out of 100 approaches at least 30-40 were flakes. I count flakes girls that bail out of a date or where after I hit them up a convo leads to nowhere. Maybe I could've got a few more out to a date but honestly I have no patience or will to cater to these girls and pull words out of their mouth to have a normal convo so if their 3-4 messages were short and closed off id leave them on seen and move on.

I'd say a lot of girls gave me their social media and would rather flake than they rejected me. Ofc I did get rejected a lot. In bars/clubs/bookstores/cafes/street.

Night game for me is idk how to describe it. Here in my country there's o dance floor. In the night club its bar tables surrounded by VIP seating. I go with my friends we get vip seating and bottle service so I would pull girls with ''is it crowded down here?'' shed say yes ''well come up with me and my friends''. I hooked up with 4 girls in my nights out but never went on a first date with them or ever hit them up later.

Is cold approaching a waste of time or bad? It depends on you I always wanted to try it because watching movies like goodwill hunting and top gun and shit where they approach girls seemed so cool and manly. But IRL isn't the movies. Its a hassle its annoying with the flakes and you will get rejected left and right. It would be much easier to set up a decent IG profile lay in bed every night hit up 20-30 girls in 10-15 minutes you will get lucky with a few. I realized 90% of people meet their SO through social circles 5% are rich people that hook up with ig models and shit and the last 5% are cold approaching people and ig/tinder couples.

Maybe its the culture here in my country because girls being raised here are always taught to stay loyal and how many partners make them whores etc. So girls will remain loyal even if the guy is a low smv loser. Few examples are id be talking with a girl for 15-20 minutes on a college campus laughing sharing jokes id ask for her number and shed be like I have a bf. I ask for an instagram at least she gives it up and I dont like to talk down on guys but I tell you it was some overweight semi balding dude thats from 2h drive city away from here. Yes she is in a long distance relationship and loyal. Have a couple more examples. Again you might say I could've persuaded her but I don't like doing that. She makes her choice and its up to her.

Looking back on my 100 approaches it took me 5-6 months. It wasn't very hard. Most interactions were fun. I had fun experiences I've talked to IG models with 300k followers I went on an instant date with one which again led to a flake. I've talked to and gotten numbers from some famous politicians daughter that also led to a flake. Im telling you this because even though it led to flakes and nowhere. If I didn't cold approach I would never be in contact let alone talk to these girls. I would be left on sent on ig if I hit them up.

Cold approach might not be the most efficient way but if you build up thick skin it sure as hell is the most fun and exciting way. And the high it gives you is unlike any other. And the confidence you gain will spill into other areas of your life. And had it not been for cold approaching I would've never hooked up with a goth cute girl that taught me and who I did bdsm with for example.

Everyone should at least try 100 approaches it truly will spice your life up for the better.

Im not an amazing writer please if you have any questions or if your nitrated about anything I didn't mention tell me and ill answer cause writing on my own like this out of head is a bit hard.
