I wanted to test out a theory, that the more you get into the flow of your everyday life the more you enjoy life. Focus on executing day to day life at a high intensity and good things will happen. I was so tired of online dating and sending countless messages, It drains my mental energy with little to no results.

Early on I was already ready to give up, for so many days i went out and did zero approaches. I kept making excuses in my head and ended up wasting entire days for nothing.

I decided to consume as much game material as i possibly can to hype myself up. I started reading both Rooshvs books (terrible for actual cold approaches but they are well written) and watching infueld videos from various PUAs on YouTube. I ended up developing the template for what would become my style of Game.

Most of my initial approaches were extremely awkward and i would often end them myself, I found that doing 5 warm up approaches helped get me in the "zone" to avoid being so awkward during "real" approaches. The more approaches I did the better i got though, I realised how OLD had stunted my game since i barely had any real world experience with approaching chicks in the real world.

One of the best things about cold approach is the "thrill of the hunt". It is genuinely exciting to randomly approach a woman and get her number, once you sleep with her it is really satisfying, it feels like i conquered my fears.

I ended up getting 11 numbers in total and about 3 lays from that, two of the girls were subpar and one was above average. Even so the results were better then the OLD.

I feel like i really developed my game during this time period and got rid of a lot of my approach anxiety. I now can easly talk to strangers i meet. Just the other day i had a good conversation with the gym receptionist, before i would of just awkwardly said "hi" and nothing else.

Every man here needs to get off OLD and Cold Approach.

Was this mostly day game or night game?

100% daygame, I've never really done night game in my life.
Very nice!

I also feel like the more i do this, the better quality women i would be able to pull.
That's how approaching tends to work. Your first bangs tend to be subpar to mediocre. If you lift, eat healthy, no porn/no fap, and keep approaching, you'll be able to seduce cute/hot women and have abundance mentality.

You did the right thing. I can identify with that.

Early on I was already ready to give up, for so many days i went out and did zero approaches. I kept making excuses in my head and ended up wasting entire days for nothing.
This can even happen to experienced approachers/seducers. Sometimes you do a daygame session and don't see any viable approaches or you psyche yourself out.

I read Roosh's "Bang", "Day Bang", and "Game". "Day Bang" was the most useful to me, as that became the foundation of my day approaching. The London Daygame Model is a really good option. I've read Krauser/Torero.

All normal.

That's relatable. It is very satisfying to get a number and a date from an approach. It's even more satisfying to get the bang from a day cold approach. Yes, non-bar, daytime cold approaching is challenging.

Yes, every man here needs to get off OLD and cold approach. The deck is stacked against guys using swipe apps.

100 approaches, 11 numbers, and 3 notches is solid for someone with not a lot of approach experience. I have thousands of approaches to my name.

Yes, even talking to gym employees who you won't be trying to seduce will be good for your overall game development.

Wow, someone on SS who was struggling, and instead of complaining about it and talking about how nothing will work and all women suck and the state of the world is so bad that they'll never get a girl, actually got off their ass, did what we have suggested even though it was uncomfortable and took work, and then found success because of it and grew as a man.

If I could buy you a beer, I would. In the years I've been here, I think I've seen one or two other guys ever actually do what you did. Seen hundreds if not thousands say it won't work or say they'll do it and then never get their ass off the couch - or they do it 5x and give up.

Very proud of you man. You will notice changes that go well beyond just women. You will start identifying other areas of your life that need improvement and you will now have the courage and confidence to address them.

You must not have read the cold approach thread. There were a handful of us that were participating in it.

Yes, cold approaching is uncomfortable and takes work. It can be rather unpleasant at times. It's worth doing when you get the successes, but you take a lot of rejections while doing it. The hope is that the rejections and failed first-second dates in the process aren't too traumatic to lead someone to give up. It takes mental strength to approach strangers and create something out of nothing. It's even more arduous for introverted types like me.

I have to give you credit for going for it. At my age I still can't say I really like approaching rando. women, but often my experiences are not what you'd call a shot in the dark (I usually know I'm in). Online dating does suck though.

It's definitely been seeping into other aspects of my life. I was really bad with small talk before but now I have gotten a lot better. It's very useful for networking and socialising with colleagues.

I seriously wish I did this when i was 18 instead of relying on OLD for so long.

I can see how the rejections get to most people, when i first did cold approaches in 2014 I was ready to give up after a few rejections. It's like taking a battering ram to the ego.

You should try nightgame too. Chicks are super receptive to getting approached at night because it's more congruent.

Daygame is more of a wild shot in the dark - you would have noticed how many girls default to saying "I have a boyfriend". But it's great for masculinity and social skills, like you say. Problem with Daygame is it's soooo sloooow. If I want to bang a woman I kinda want to get it happening the same day - nightgame makes this possible, especially if you live near the nightlife.
The one time i tried night game was when i went to Ivy at around 8pm, it was a sausage fest though.

I'm willing to give Bars and Clubs another go once the case numbers go down in Sydney. It does seem a lot more efficient with DRF women.

Online dating traps men, it's like ordering fast food instead of a nice healthy home cooked meal.

Come down to Golden Sheaf in Double Bay and I'll show you how it's done.

Ivy on Thursday at 7pm-10pm is an excellent source of 18 year old Westies. The sausages start to pile in from 10pm onwards. I wouldn't bother with the city on weekends. Eastern suburbs is better ratios.
That's what I'm talking about..

Whenever you blokes (or whatever term you use) come over to Florida let me know

I been to Tampa before. Cool city but very ghetto at night.
Orlando was a pu$$y paradise back in 2019. Florida is notoriously ghetto and psycho, but imo one of the best places in the USA
