Why do people think “cold approaching” is bad?

I can see not wanting to do it if you’re scared of rejection or don’t want to put your ego out there, but otherwise if you see a really attractive woman is it really that big of a deal to talk to them once in a while?

I mean yeah, chances are good she might tel you she’s not interested or that she’s taken, but is that really a big deal? Just curious what you brahs think.

Normal people know it's normal and don't listen to creepy incels online about cold approaching.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.

Don't do it if you're ugly. No one wants to be approached by a non-Chad.

If you are Chadly, that's the highest ROI method.

There's a big difference between striking up a conversation with a hot girl you see and walking around specifically trying to chat up every female in a mall with canned openers.

Cold approaching is fine as long as she showed some interest, if not, then you are just wasting your time, energy and ego.

It’s my favorite waY of meeting girls srs. It’s intimidating af but once you get going you feel socially “lubricated” and can talk to anyone. It’s like a high

Also feels good cause you know majority of guys are way too scared to do it

Your chances of mutual interest are not as high as dating apps and whatever. But hey you never know and I personally prefer meeting people in person too.

It's the intent I think. A guy going out of his way to talk to female strangers in the street to score some poontang is a creepy idea.
Nothing's wrong with it though. Who cares what people think. If you act natural about it and don't make it a thing, nobody will mind. Friendly people are loved by all.

It's mostly the Republicans that hate the concept of cold-approaching.

I think the main thing is that you can't come off as an awkward creep/incel when you do it. Also, you have to genuinely not give af about rejection, as any sense of that in you by them promptly dries them up like the Sahara.

This. If there's no initial interest its like a .001% chance of going anywhere. Why bother...

Cold approaching to me is literally anywhere there are girls without narrowing down anything. If you're somewhere relevant like a yoga class, convention, or anywhere else where interests are more refined, then everything is fair game.

Only cold approach if she's shows interest, mainly hard eye contact.

Who thinks it's bad? Fat girls that hit the wall at 120mph and girls that think you're ugly. Everyone else is cool.

I only ever consider it if I see her eye fuking me or giving some indication. If a girl doesn’t even look. No matter how long your looking. That’s a non starter for me. I need something.

Really depends on the environment you do it in

And if you cold approach without her even showing interest then you're just going to humiliate yourself
