Does getting sloots from social circle / cold approach have a higher success rate

than dating apps?

Assuming same quality of sloots.

If yes, does this scale even better for non-Chads?
communist until you get rich
rightwing until financially secure
atheist until the plane starts falling
slootist until you get married
muslim after you get married

I'd say so, especially for a guy who's moreso average and not good at dating apps.

Ironically, cold approach works better now that too many gen Z dudes are too shy to do so and too many ****gits rely on dating apps. It puts the chick on the spot and give you the chance to at least spit your game compared to online dating where it all depends on facial aesthetics and "puffing". Younger sloots are more wary of strangers approaching them though but once they warm up to you they're more gullible due to lack of exp

Another thing to note is cold approaching only works for random hookups, it's a really bad strategy to look for your soulmate when it comes to more specific parameters.

Cold approaching has worked for the entirety of history up until like 20 years ago.

yes, it works, It worked all that time and technically works better today because not as many use it.

Dating apps are just used by women to stroke their own egos. They cant do that face to face. You dont need to make a big deal about it. Just go up and start talking to people. Just like you would say hi to a stranger on the street. You dont need fancy pick up lines or catchy phrases, just start talking.

You will be able to tell how its going right away from the eye contact, smiling and the like.

here is what you do. If you are walking down the street, make eye contact with the females. They like eye contact so will make it back. If the look at you, then look away, then look down, they arent interested so dont waste your time.

Keep doing it until you see one that makes eye contact and smiles. This will be a better prospect. Even better if she makes eye contact, smiles and says hi.

Yes.

It's hard to stand out as an average guy online in a sea of Chads, whose options will be far superior. IRL, the odds are much more in your favor. Remember what most dating apps are; buffet menus for women. They don't have the same amount of options or control as they go about their day to day.

Humans have logic, but are way more emotional than they like to admit. Online is mostly superficial, while IRL, emotional decisions can be made. It's where your charisma and masculinity can shine. It's how below average and ugly dudes can stand a chance.


TLDR: IRL it's all about how a sloot feels, while online it's basically just looks based.

Yes, cold-approach (or through social circle) has a significantly higher chance of success.

Social circle has the highest chance. You’re a vetted dude, women would let their guard down easy. But it also has the highest stakes, if you’re a fukboy, you’ll be shunned.

Approaching in real life, you’ll have better success with good looking women, IMO. You’re in the moment and her only option at that time. If she’s feeling it, you’re in. If you’re socially retarded, or really ugly (not average), you’ll be called a creep.

Nope, I've tried both. Had a really good relationship with that girl I cold approached at work years ago. It was a more quality relationship compared to those I went out with from Tinder

I was got into my current relationship before Tinder really blew up but I met my wife through social circle. That was always my favorite way to meet women. They know you're not a weirdo creeper because you're friends with their friends so they're not as guarded. Cold approaching can work but it's a real crapshoot. There are some strange women out there boyos

Got all my ex's in person. I'm pretty charasmatic and can hold a decent convo, both of which you can't portray on apps

Apps are garbage. The scales are hilariously rigged. Banged a couple mid sloots off hinge but thats about it.

Not gonna be in the sea of men begging for the attention of some mid 7/10 that I wouldnt look at twice on the street

dating apps are just one tool in your tool belt. but they shouldn't be the only one - nothing should. why limit yourself? and your sample size of 1 is hardly scientific.

You wont have a higher success rate but you have a higher chance a top quality girl.

The nice thing about the dating apps is that if there is a match, you know there is at least some level attraction/ interest on her part. So you should have a higher success rate with app. But the downside is that they are typically lower quality girls. let's be honest, a lot of girls on these apps have troubled pasts and are damaged good.

When you meet a girl in person, you don't really know if she has any interest in you or could just be trying to be nice to avoid an awkward interaction, so you probably have a lower success rate. The nice thing about meeting people in real life/ social circle is that there is a higher likelihood she's marriage material/ not damaged goods.

You could also make the case the same girl could treat you differently from meeting you on a dating app vs social circle/ in-person. On a dating app, you're just another profile and easily disposable, so she could ghost you with no remorse. While if you met her through social circle, she might look at you like a person and not just another profile on a screen. You have a better chance of showcasing who you really are vs your "stats on your profile", so you can form a more meaningful connection.
