Definitely need to tread lightly

But idk if work would be cold approach because you’re technically interacting with them daily

Cold approach is the best method of getting laid if you're not a chad lol

Banged a bunch of women who didn't swipe me on dating apps (mostly retired that chit now) and banged a whole load more by saying "hi" to start a conversation

Have good style and grooming, strong confidence and can hold a conversation while keeping it interesting

No reason the average man can't get laid 1-2 times a month by going to a bar/club on the weekend

cold approaching is necessary for guys that don't know how to talk to hot or normal girls normally. Gives you a sense of confidence that when you talk to girls they pick up on your confidence and actually don't abruptly friendzone you. Always sharpen your sword fellas.

Cold approach works, you just have to know how to do it

I've done cold approaches that turned into instant dates as well as cold approaches that turn into later laids
You need to understand what youre doing but more importantly is HOW you do it
This is the perfect case of it's not what you say but HOW you say it and if you're able to transfer your confident energy accross

It takes a bit of time and practice but it's a skill that can translate into other areas of your life as the core values of the skill are universal

Don't cold approach at the gym. If someone needs to give you this piece of advice, it means you already don't do it which means you're not equipped to do it. Chitting where you eat is a bad idea, you can ruin your reputation or get kicked out of the gym altogether as the "gym creep"

If gym is the only place you really go to, I'd suggest instead just be consistently there and slowly organically tell the regulars hello or good morning/evening. Just be polite and let people be disarmed around you by having normal organic convos that can slowly happen over time. If girls see you as the friendly/cool guy and they are interested, they will make advances or start more conversations with you.

Very true. All the girls talk (in the locker room etc), and if your advances are not accepted, the entire female half of the gym will know about it. I never truly cold approached there. Twice I made a reason to casually say hi. One was simply opening a door for one coming in and I said "You are here as much as I am, but we've never been introduced... my name is Tom." Hi, I'm Jennifer. "Nice to meet you Jennifer." and then I continued walking away. Guess who came up to me later that day? I didn't show desperation and was willing to walk away and not "dur, you are pretty, the weather is nice, uh uh uh want to go out?" This Ukrainian girl was hit on by every guy in the gym and she rejected them coldly, when they all tried PUA techniques. The meatheads in the place all gave me mean stares from that point on, as she openly became closer to me over the next few weeks.
