What do you think you do that separates you from everybody else?


How do you meet women? Do you cold approach? Are you able to strike up a 15-20 minute conversation with a random woman and get a date in many cases?

Typically such guys are usually the best looking guy in the room. If you don't fall into that category, networking, being social, and try, try again. and again. and again. an again. and again. and again

I've been married for over 8 years now, but before I was I cold approached (much the way you already described), I met people on line (both in dating sites and a couple from sports-related forums), and sometimes I even got approached.

It was all about recognizing opportunity and not letting it pass you by. Which can also explain why I am married now. I recognized what I had with the woman who would eventually be my wife and I wasn't letting it go!

I am not good with dating and I am not good with women. I have had kissed two women but I have not had sex or had a serious relationship with a woman.

I agree with this, and I will add the fact that you need to be SOCIAL and put yourself out there. Have fun when you cold approach don't go out just with the purpose of talking to women. Go with the purpose of having fun, and meet women within that frame.

Cold approaching is not just for good looking guys, I totally disagree with average male on that point. You can do just as well just have the confidence, personality, and charisma and you will be fine.

The men I have dated exclusively did not have this approach at all. All except one were introverts, and didn't have the greatest success with finding whatever they were searching for.

My boyfriend spent five years on and off OKC, and I'm the third woman he's dated that he met online (his fifth relationship total). So his success wasn't great if we're talking numbers only. It really depends on how one defines "success."

I wouldn't respond well to the type you mention.

The type of guy I'm talking about would not be the loud, abrasive personality you are thinking off


Hell there are times I feel very courageous and will start talking to random people and I think I am a very nice and a genuine person

I don't know about being great at it, but I had no problem approaching women.

Ever been at a bar and watched and noticed how a group of good looking girls can sit there all night and nobody really approaches them? Just having the balls to approach them is half the battle.

Other women see you talking to them and all of a sudden they have their eyes on you. Their competitive side kicks in, and now you got several women giving you 'the look'.

bada boom bada bing blow job...I'm kinda kidding, it's not that easy, but's nowhere as difficult as shy guys think it is.

Unless of course, the woman you approach has a personality more like Metaphysique's. OP, that's something else you need to consider. No matter how confident you are, some women are just not open to being cold approached. If that's not how they are wired, there's nothing you can do about it.

Can you approach women and get a date a good percentage of the time? Do those dates turn into anything?
