Like I've said countless times, cold approach is only a means to an end. Men that construct systems for sex acquisition have molded that for themselves intentionally. Also, a relationship requiring a great deal of "effort" as one would like to put it, is bound for failure. They don't work; eventually they devolve to something transactional and completely impersonal. All relationships run their course except for relationships that have an underlying lynchpin, e.g., both partners want to split costs, have children. There is no actual affection is these types of relationships, only dependencies that need to be resolved on behalf of each partner.
