I was going to try cold approaching yesterday but I couldn't do it. I went to the mall yesterday afternoon so it wasn't too packed, I was just walking around for a little while, didn't see any hot girls at all. So I sat down in one of those massage chairs and checked my phone. I was about to leave and go home when a really hot girl walked out of a store and we made eye contact, I think she might have smiled at me but I can't remember. She walked into another store, I started thinking about whether I should follow her into the other store and talk to her, but I felt myself get nervous and I didn't do it.

I should have said something to her right when we made eye contact. Talking to a girl right away before you get a chance to think and get nervous is always the best way to go. I need to get a girlfriend before I ****ing kill myself tho

Cold approaching is for creeps. You're basically saying I don't know anything about you, dunno if you're a psycho, or a sloot with 4 baby daddies, but I wanna have sex w/ you.

Lame af, and screams desperation. And 9/10 it's not going to even move the needle forward.

Despite what you guys believe most sane women don't want a stranger to randomly start flirting w/ them unless they're sitting at a bar drinking.

Imagine that...a woman goes to the grocery store to pick up some milk and some fukkin tweaker forces her into a conversation w/ him and starts hitting on her within the first minute. Yikes.

Anyways...if you must "cold approach" at least try to do it correctly...Starts with NATURAL conversation --> making her laugh --> light flirting. If you have to think of a line to use to start then you're already doing it wrong. Also don't be one of those idiots who tries to pressure a girl into a date while she's standing at a stop sign using all kinds of dumb tricks. The way to any girls heart is showing you're a natural conversationalist who can make her laugh by teasing her, without showing any desperation to close.

Most important part besides making her laugh is making it seem like the the conversation started by chance, luck, or circumstance.

Let my words serve you well FAers.

who in the fawk would pick number 2? it’s the same as approaching women. just LOL at cold approaching. would legit cringe if i saw someone do it.

I agree and would add that if the opportunity presents itself, say in public transportation or waiting in line etc etc then fortune favors the bold.

evidence:
Me. I had slept with only my hs sweetheart until age 26 and in last 4 years have slept with 19 more women under a variety of circumstances in a town with little to offer for a dating market.

They might enjoy it if the guy is handsome. Some girls have this fantasy that they will get approached by Prince Charming Chad randomly during the day like in movies.

Lol, this thread is going places. For clarification when I say cols approach I dont mean it in a cringe PUA kind of way where you have a script or some bs tactics for autists that cant hold a conversation to save their life. I simply mean take opportunities that life gives you. When you are on your way from work/gym/whatever and maybe see a girl smiling at you or sitting alone, why not sit next to her and start some small talk and see where it goes rather than sitting on the next empty bench like people normally do because they are terrified of any kind of social interaction with strangers. The next time you are in the gym lifting next to some chick why not make some remark or whatever rather than having your headphones in and avoiding talking or looking at anyone. The next time you are waiting in line somewhere behind a cute chick, why not say something? This is what I mean by “cold approaching”. You dont have to be a weird kunt going out solely for the reason to pick up chicks because most of the time you are going to get jack chit this way. IMO universe has a way of not giving you what you are looking for so if you go out looking for poosay often times you wont get any. However I guarantee you that most of us here get presented with opportunities on a daily basis that you just dont take simply because you are scared or make excuses as to why this is not a good time.

The confidence and mood boost you get after going up to a chick, talking to her and getting her number is srsly enough to make your chitty day better often times.

Its a ytb video so its most likely fake with paid actors and in case it isnt the money and views these guys get is enough of an incentive to do this type of chit...

Social skills are just that too. They are skills. The longer you go without approaching and interacting with women the worse you get at it.

Fortunately the more you do it the better you get at it.

This is blatantly and provably false. It doesn't matter what you look like, if you never leave your house, never attempt to talk to women, or are timid,shy and/or socially awkward then it won't happen.

YouTube is basically like reality TV now. I saw this car channel where the host owns a Ferrari. He never does pranks or stuff like that hes a legit car channel (dont remember the name). Anyways he said he gets so many questions about how women respond to his car that he wanted to demonstrate to everyone what its like.

So he parked his car and set up a camera. For some of it he was by the car and for the rest it was just the car. Basically no reaction from women. The truth is women dont know **** about cars, motorcycles, watches etc. As far as most of them were concerned it was a Toyota celica for all they knew.

Was interesting to see.

As someone who has actually tried it, cold approach is AIDS if you're not in a positive mood. When I travel (including around the US) it's easier because I'm in a better mood.

So this is where all the FAs came to congregate? Cold approach being GOAT is simply a truism; it always has been and it always will be.

If you're incapable of cold approaching someone look within instead of blaming "society" at large. An especially large LOL at people who say that the cold approach is necessarily creepy. Extreme cope.

LOL. That is true, especially about the watches. Biggest waste of money. I've had APs and Breitlings all the way up to solid 18k Rolexes. Never had so much as a compliment from a woman. Cars attract certain types of women, but aren't necessary. They DO like motorcycles, but most of them definitely don't know anything about them. Tattoos, fitted clothing, an outgoing personality and an aesthetic physique will attract more women than a lamborghini.

This. What they are actually saying is that being sociable and talking to people who you don't already know, makes you a creep. Lmao.And they wonder why they have no friends and are virgins.
