I don't do day game cold approaches as a hobby and I spend not so much time in the city so the numbers game (there will be eventually a success) does not apply to me and my statistic is not based on hundreds, more like tens.
Basically form approaches I did, I have like max of 2 in 10 success (at least bedding her).
The scenario is like this:
I see a girl.
I do some smart remark.
In most cases she acknowledges me but no further conversation, just acknowledgement.
You can see on her that her IL is breaking through the ceiling.
Nervous, curling hair, avoiding eye contact, smiling, red in face.
I ask for a date now if situation permits. It is declined. I persist, calling her coward, heh. She resists. It gets a little awkward so I extract her number.
I call later. In the evening, next day or in three days.
No one answers. So I text. And the answer is...'You have a wrong number,pal.'
There is another scenario:
Where girls even go on a date but I see no clear IOI and basically I have this feeling they view me with contempt like a snob treating a factory worker. You can see that they change their minds but contempt is changed to wonder not higher IL. Meanwhile their attitude makes my IL go south and the adventure turns in to power struggle. Where I end up with contempt for them.
In some rare cases it turns out slightly better but no breeze walk. Best when I meet her accidentally again and end up talking like friends. Then I am able to seduce her.
The best results I got in clubs/bars acting like this stone cold arrogant pr1ck. Best results in F@ck Close that is. But let me tell you the sex was bad, even weird. Mostly they wanted to get serviced and they gave back as least as possible. I don't do that anymore.
I am pretty attractive guy, so maybe thats why there are so many extremes. Extremely High IL vs Contempt on first sight, Paralyzing Intimidation vs Sadistic Sexual aggression.
But it is individual thing, don't get repelled by my lack of success. For a city guy, day game cold approach is the only reasonable chance.
When I have enough I will move to small town. Girls have a chance to observe you for longer.
