What % of your pickup attempts are in front of an audience?

I guess this would be cold approaches here. What % are around people that can clearly hear what you're talking about.

People keep track of such statistics?

 

[Jitterbug]

I've never approached a girl standing by herself in the middle of nowhere. There are always plenty of people around. Cold-approaching a girl with nobody around is creepy and will scare her off.

Nobody gives a toss about you trying to PU a girl. If you're ashamed of what you do, then it'd seem like everybody's watching. The truth is that most people are too caught up in their own world to notice.

I think about 100%

I honestly can't ever remember trying to without someone else within hearing range.

By hearing range, he probably means close enough to hear exactly what both of you are saying, i.e., seated at a table with other strangers, standing in line with strangers behind both of you (like at the post office), etc.

Me, zero %. My approaches are in view of other people (public), but not close enough to others so that they can follow our conversation.
