I went through something similar. The flake rate is extremely high at the beginning. A lot of girls will give you their number and flake/ghost because:
People will try to give you a bunch of advice and quick fixes. Honestly, the only way to get through it is to keep going. Once it becomes part of who you are, you will get a lot better at getting girls out. Your interactions will be more solid, more grounded, and more genuine. Girls will feel it.
You could get escorts or just watch porn of course. But you don't need me or anyone else to tell you that the social benefits of developing cold approach skills go far beyond just getting girls.
Here's a tip: go out this week WITHOUT the goal of getting a number. Go out to engage a girl you find attractive and have fun with her and make her laugh. Go with how you feel with the particular girl. If there's strong sexual energy, flirt with her playfully. If there's a playful vibe, joke with her and make her laugh. If she's stylish, go with compliments on her outfit. If she's just a down to earth kinda girl, see if you can connect with her based on interests and trying to get to know her. If she has a bf, then ask her how she met him. Flirt with her anyway ;) Etc
Good luck

If this, then flirt with her
This instruction always seems like "draw the rest of the fucking owl" to me...

That’s like saying: “Fucking JD preferred jobs have a fucking 95% chance of not leading to an actual job offer after interviews. So, what the fuck is the point of even applying? Might as well work at McDonald’s.”
A 5% chance is literally a 1 in 20 chance. If you had cancer and there was a 5% chance of it metastasizing, would you safely remove it from your body? Or, fuck it, not even worth it?
The other thing you can do is, oh idk, maybe not be lazy and put in the effort to actually work on yourself instead of putting in the effort to work the streets and cold approach.
I’m not a fan of the cold approach either. But my solution is not to hire fucking escorts. Jesus. What kind of defeatist thinking is that? Use a warm approach. But you actually have to put in effort behind the scenes so that you can get to a warm approach.

It's not a defeatist mindset there were a lot of attractive eastern European escorts in my neighborhood I went to to a few and it seemed much better than what in doing now cold approaching is humiliating to me equivalent to cleaning toilets for pennies

Cold approaching is so hard that's why building social circles is more beneficial. Joining clubs, sports, other networking circles is much more effective. No matter how great your game there is always going to be girls with their gaurd up in the very beginning, and rightfully so, how do I know this charming funny guy isn't some deep down narcissistic asshole, you don't which is why it's better to build social networks where you get to know them or know of them where other friends can vouge for you. I wouldn't stop cold approaching, it keeps your game tight, helps you get over approach anxiety and more comfortable talking to new girls. Just know, as you said it's going to involve large amount of flakes. Don't take it personal it's very normal, that's why building social networks is 10x more effective, unfortunately that takes time and patience, gotta put in the work of you expect results, just like going to the gym, don't expect going to the gym once or twice is gonna get you in shape, it takes time and effort, and patience. Keep approaching keep improving

Why do you have to sound so smug? If you were talking to him IRL you wouldn’t be talking so condescendingly.
[–]pnadlerlaw 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Condescendingly? Smug? No, dude. I’m being direct and to the point. That is how I talk to people irl. If someone finds it smug and condescending, that’s their problem.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
You definitely don’t talk to people like this in real life😂 reddit always has people being so rude in conversation that they would never say to someone else’s face
[–]pnadlerlaw 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That’s now I normally talk. What part did you consider rude?
[–]smorrow2 points 7 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Sounds normal to me
[–]Paltenburg 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link
Obviously a 90%-95% flake-rate is not your goal, so don't you see any way of improvement?
[–]Ash266 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link
I tried making the conversations longer tired different texting techniques but they still flake I'm very frustrated with the girls who say yes than ghost when I text them it's just not worth it anymore
[–]SundaySermon 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
How many approaches have you done? Have you had someone review your approaches?
[–]Ash266 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
50 no none of my friends cold approach I live in nyc
[–]SundaySermon 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Not a bad ratio.
But understand that is still beginner territory. Some say your first 300 are still beginner approaches.
Do you ever go for instant dates?

Not yet not trying to sound negative or pessimistic but if I have to talk to hundreds just to get one girl or just very few that isn't worth it to me my main problem is I just dont have a high tolerance for the flaking I can handle the upfront rejections but when I get flaked on I just get extremely angry anyway I hope you succeed and all the other guys that keeps going to succeed as well
[–]SundaySermon 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Let me as you this: what is a skill you're good at? Something you've learned?
[–]Ash266 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Skateboarding
[–]SundaySermon 3 points4 points5 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
not trying to sound negative or pessimistic but if I have to fall on my face hundreds just to land one kickflip or just very few that isn't worth it to me anyway I hope you succeed and all the other guys that keeps going to succeed as well
But seriously, if I told you a year from now, you'd have a regular rotation of a model-tier blonde, a curvy redhead and a hot Latina, would that be enough for you to keep going? Repeated action is what creates mastery. If you invest the time and effort now – in a way that works for you – you can reap the benefits of daygame.
[–]Ash266 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I get what your trying to say but learning to skateboard is completely different than pickup I refuse to be rejected by hundreds of women in the street
[–]SundaySermon1 point 7 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Fair enough. I just see a guy get 1 number for every five approaches and I see some decent potential.
[–]caesarfecit 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It's kinda like Dark Souls. You fail over and over again as you slowly start getting gud.
What you're in right now is the pain period. Go read Models again and focus on having a lifestyle that you enjoy and others find attractive.
Dark souls 2 was my favorite for pvp dark souls 1 and 3 for single player

It's great that you are out there doing approaches. Approaching is a tough skill to master. You can definitely reduce the flake rate and there are techniques/advice on this. Also, try to figure out what went wrong. Replay the tape. What could have gone better? Why did she flake? Was she just being nice when giving you her number? What can you change about your methods?
Hiring escorts and approaching women are not mutually exclusive. If you want a quick fuck and have the money, feel free to hire an escort. I believe paid sex is a healthy thing. But, keep in mind this is cheating and won't help you in the long run. If you want an emotional connection and a potential for a long-term, healthy relationship, then you have to put in the work and do the dating route.

Thank you for nice reply my main problem is definitely the flaking I can handle the upfront rejections they can sting and be embarrassing sometimes but they are no where near as fustrateing as the flaking I just dont have a high tolerance for when girls say yes than ghost out of nowhere or cancel plans without any consideration
[–]aepr88 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yeah ghosting is a huge problem in the dating scene right now. Its just a shitty thing. We just have to accept it and move on. I know its easier said than done, but thats the current meta of the game.
Yes in my opinion that's why most guys give up on game not the upfront rejections but the flaking and the ghosting
[–]Redditaspropaganda 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
5% chance of success is pretty good when it costs you nothing to approach...unless you just absolutely have NO free time in a day which I doubt. I mean if you're a chinese factory worker who works 7-7pm jobs then yeah you have an excuse.
Thanks for the reply Your right man you have a positive attitude that goes a long way best regards
[–]judahman8 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago* (3 children) | Copy Link
Those are day game numbers, night game reigns supreme. It's undoubtedly worth it. To have the skills of seduction itself comes with so many bonus attributes. Paying an escort is of no gain. Gaining pussy by paying for it is a worst experience then jerking off in my opinion. You have to at least do it in a way that not so obvious to your subconscious.
Sorry I have to disagree I went to escorts before and had good experiences had had terrible experiences doing cold approaching if game truly was effective why is the success rate so low? Why have I read so many posts about guys doing so many approaches and get nothing?
[–]judahman8 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That's a weird way of looking at it. If anyone is doing game and not getting results it's really easy to see what they are doing wrong. Almost noone is doing the simple basic shit you absolutely need to do like using a false time constraint. Wearing something that makes them look good and stand out, like a suit. Not using opinion openers. Having no canned material memorized so they are constantly thinking on there feet. Not making eye contact. Using bad body language. Not knowing how to hook the set early. Not knowing how to kino escalate. Not knowing how to bounce the set. Not understanding push pull. Terrible logistics.
The thing about game is you have to do it right if you want results. You can't just go out and randomly talk to girls and just wing it and think because your success rate is low while you continue to do just about everything wrong, that game itself is the problem.
Most of these guys on here don't know shit. They aren't even aware that game is a system. They don't know the system and they aren't using it at all. That's why they aren't getting results. Go play Street fighter online without learning any combos or any strategies and you will get your ass handed to you buy bronze players. You don't say being good at Street fighter doesn't work, that's so stupid. It doesn't work if you are complete trash and you don't understand anything about how to win a match.
Everytime I got blown out of a set I didn't say, this shit doesn't work. What I did in that specific moment didn't work so you look for answers and try something else until it works.
If you go up to any set and you say "hey I can only stay for a second but me and friend have been arguing about this all day and I wanted your opinion on the matter. Do you think it's cheating if your girlfriend kisses another girl. This will open a set well over %90 of the time with ease. Now that's one case where you will have the same results Everytime. Game is like a procedure and it does work. Of it's not working then it's you who is doing something wrong. You should probably figure it out or just be good with sucking forever.
Fair enough maybe you just have a high tolerance for the flaking and rejections which I dont
