Clubs are dogchit for picking up women unless you are so good looking that you stand out and will have sloots flock to you. Going out clubbing (especially alone) with the intention of picking up women is a no no and 9/10 times you won't get chit. Bars are alright but it depends on which ones. If you have friends bring them with you so you can keep each other accountable and help each other out. If you are alone why not try and make friends in the bar instead of immediately going after chicks. Try talking to people, being social and just having a good time instead of immediately looking like a creep on the prowl the minute you enter the bar.

Also a good place when it comes to the nightlife is outside the establishment where people go to smoke or another way just people on the street that are going from club to club or bar to bar. Those people you see on the street are the same people that are in the clubs anyway.

It don’t work because people espically women stick to who they know and don’t want to explained their social circle that they are in meeting women is impossible! This is why I quit going bars and pubs it’s pointless just as bad as online dude

This and dating apps and bars get you no where so meeting women is impossible because if you can’t meet them in bars and online and you don’t know anyone (or your friends don’t hook you up) where are you meeting women?

So you did 3-5 approaches, got no interest from them, and then assume cold approach does not work?

You're low IQ. Firstly anyone who does this regularly will tell you 3-5 approaches is nothing. Try 10-15 at least in one session.

Secondly - you got rejected based on your looks / approach / the fact they were unavailable. This does not equal that cold approaching doesn't work. It just means they didn't want to go out with YOU specifically, based on the aforementioned factors.

Social circle is still the best way, you barely gotta do anything and girls love you. You also get the benefit of more friends.

But pulling girls from cold approaching definitely feels alpha. It also feels awful when it doesn't work which is most of the time.

OP isn't wrong, but don't go around malls cold approaching chicks randomly. That's the wrong way to do it. Cold approach works if you're at an event or doing a hobby where there's already some common ground.

Approaching girls randomly on the street or in departments stores is a recipe to fail hard.

The cold approach really shouldn't be seen as completely obvious you're hitting on them. For example in the gym, ask for a spot of some kind. Not with a 315 bench press of course but something where it makes sense you'd be asking for her help. I've struck up conversations with girls by asking if they'll place a plate on my back for weighted planks. Or I've asked them to do me a favor and let me know if I'm swing too much doing hanging leg raises.

From there in between sets you just ask them their name and strike up a natural conversation with them. It's not totally obvious I'm hitting on them so their guard is initially down since my request seems fairly reasonable in both of these. I know damn well I don't swing doing hanging leg raises, I've done thousands of them, but they don't know that. I can also get the plate on my own back for planks if I need to, but it's easier if someone else does it so it doesn't seem strange to be asking.


Likewise for other events/hobbies. If you like art exhibits go to an art exhibit and make a casual comment about a piece of art you both are looking at. Obviously you better know what the f*ck you're talking about though or this will come off as you trying to pick her up. It needs to be genuine.

If you like going hiking, it's easy to make friends on the trails, especially at the top of the trail or an overlook where people are taking breaks.

You have a dog? Go to a f*cking dog park and strike up a conversation with a girl who has an awesome dog.



Your goal shouldn't even be to pick them up, but just to have a conversation with them about a topic you actually want to talk about. It's pretty obvious to anyone if you're zeroing in trying to land a date or if you're just engaging in friendly conversation. Shoot for friendly conversation. If at the end you think the conversation flowed well get her number.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

It doesn't work. No girl is going to just date some random dude that cold approaches her lol. No way. I've never seen it irl or seen any proof of it working without paid actresses.

that's because you don't leave that gym in your garage. Last month my friend pulled one of the cashiers at a fast food joint we went to. She was like a 6/10 butterface but he smashed.

Never seen this happen either. It takes hours and hours of rapport to get to the point of hanging out with people unless you are a legit sociopath. Nobody is just meeting people by cold approaching them like that.

You can meet people who are out having fun, you just have to be having fun too. Nobody wants to hang out with someone who seems miserable.

I was the gym again and for like the 5th straight day everyone was just on their phones or had ear buds in. I walked in without ear buds and it was complete silence so i put them back then. To think people meet via cold approach these days is insane. You can't even talk to people. It's not even about making friends or getting a date or whatever it's just the fact you can't meet anyone at all when you are alone. It's just insane at this point. At no point in my life do i ever see people cold approach or any of that. Every time i go somewhere it yields the same results. Like a damn hamster spinning in a wheel.

It's so frustrating because i keep hearing this cold approach stuff on this forum but i go out and see everyone staying to themselves. If they are alone or come alone they are by themselves.

Thing is you are not going to be getting laid consistently from social circle. I also prefer being independent and not having to hang around a group of people I don't even really like just for the sake of potentially meeting women through them.

I'd say even if you are good looking you are going to get rejected 9/10 times. If you look good though I don't really think alot of these are rejections but moreso the girl just not ready to date or looking to fuk. She might be in a relationship, gotten out of one, her friend got cheated on and she thinks all guys are players, she migh have some crisis going on in ther life and a million other reasons as to why she isn't availible. You guys need to stop taking this chit so personal and just move on. The guys that have success with approaching are approaching 100s of women not 5 chicks that turn you down and you go into self pity mode...

u wot. by definition you're desperate. You just need to get better at hiding it or lower your standards to get off and not be so awkward around women. People notice the tiniest pieces of body language that will out you for being nervous or creepy.
