You went to the gym, got your style and grooming in order, even made more money to support this new version of you. So where are all the women? I think most men don't understand how the numbers really work, especially with cold approach. Becoming your best self won't change the fact that she has a boyfriend or husband, and she either isn't a cheater or won't cheat with you specifically. It won't change the fact that she had a bad experience with white guys and now every mayonnaise man is blacklisted until she matures and realizes she just chose incorrectly. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on that. It won't change the fact that she feels like she's not cute in a hoodie and messy bun at 10 am in Whole Foods, and you approaching her in this state somehow means you like low quality women, so she rejects you to protect her ego (I can't make this stuff up). Once you've done the work it's out of your hands, you need some real volume to see the fruits of your labor. You solved the value problem, now you have an exposure problem.

A friend was asking me for help and when I asked how many women he approaches a week he said 2. 8 a month. I'm extremely picky in a city that doesn't favor my phenotype. My average rate for getting them to hang out immediately or meet later is around 1 in 8. I don't know how good he is at closing, but one new meetup a month sounds like a desert.

I do almost zero nightlife and still usually get in at least 3 approaches a day. Small changes add up. Grabbing groceries or dinner from a popular location in town instead of ordering. Working a few 15-30 minute walks into your week. Attending one event you truly enjoy could put you in front of 100 women in a couple hours. Doing things on a new side of town helped after I kept running into the same chicks that rejected me prior.

What's your volume look like? And do you feel like it's enough?
