"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

a question kind of on a tangent to this: what is the DEFINITION of a cold approach. If a cold approach is independant of the venue, approaching ANY chick you don't know is a cold approach, whether it be at college, the mall or the club. That is, 90-95% of sets are cold approaches. or is the scope a little more narrowly defined?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

That's my understanding of the definition of a cold approach: It's independent of venue, she doesn't know you and you don't know her and what makes it a cold approach is there's no mutual friend introducing you..the last part is key.

Check out my field report from the 4ht of July. I did 6 cold approaches and received 3 #s.


AC I resent that. I play halo with my friends all the time and still get plenty of azz.

No one gonna mention that this thread was started by someone who was just watching someone else approach.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Cold approaches do work. Be persistent as been said before its a numbers game. Dont go out looking to pull, go out looking to have fun. My intention is to make 10 girls smile tonight or somthing like that.

welcome to my world
seems like there's a "cold approaches don't work" thread once every one or two months...

I think it's a bit more frequent.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

they work, but i think how u look plays a big part in it, i cant' picture a scummy looking ugly dude walk up to a girl and throw some line like "wanna ****" or whatever and actually succeed, if you look your best and go up to every single one that your interested in one of them is bound to be that horny little skeez..........
