I think the dating environment is quite dynamic and it seems some of the former strategies aren't as effective anymore. Maybe women are just more difficult than ever but here's what I mean:

If you approach a woman in a bar confidently, coolly, and have a few witty comments, good humor, cocky confident, and a smile at this point it's almost cliche. And the very fact that you're putting in the effort to be witty, cool, play the part is sort of a demonstration of low value. You are a jester attempting to entertain her and win her affections. If you behave more subdued you will be viewed as boring and uninteresting.

I think a TRUE alpha would actually sit back and let the women express interest in him via subtle eye contact or even an approach. Chasing women is the epitomy of beta. What can we do? I really feel we need new strategies.

This is just an idea but maybe just hanging out at a bar and not doing any approaches. If the women approach or show a true IOI then run game. Thoughts?
