Maybe it's because I'm not the kind of woman who's ever been approached by guys who think I'm so hot that they just had to talk to me, but I'd be super suspicious and put off by an approach like that.
Actually a 90% failure rate is great, even a 95-99% failure rate. If one just asks out 100 women a day, very soon the individual will have more dates than they have time for.


Btw lots of women think they would say no to such a proposal, but when faced with the situation in real life they often accept.

Yeah, they really wouldn't. And in what world is a 90-95% failure rate a great thing? Lmao.

Lots of women would indeed say no.

Yes, a lot of them will say no. No big deal, we are all disappointed in life and none of us have 100% success rates in anything we do.

Anyone that says that this won't work does not know women.

Can it work? Yes

Odds of it working? Very low percentage (especially in the way you've described it).

You're right, I agree! Don't EVER ask any women out in public EVER!

This rationale is BS though, you could easily say ''Just because a woman is (fill in any place) doesn't mean she wants to be asked out or even talked to''.

And maybe she doesn't, but that doesn't mean guys should be afraid to ask. You could say the same thing about a bar/club or in college or wherever else, as well.

For the former, I have no issue doing that, and have done it in the past.

I do agree with you on asking out a person whenever and wherever you want. This whole "you can't ask them out there or there" is BS, lol.

Also, in your previous post before this one, I think the whole "be friends first" argument is mainly about hanging out with them and going out to places for a while and talking. I don't think that argument applies to what I'm saying.

Also, I prefer making conversation first just to see how their convo skills are. One thing that's happened plenty of times in the past is that I may go up to a girl that's hot, but completely lacks social/convo skills, and that just kills my attraction right there, lol.
I guess we generally agree then.

funny how u think u know women better than themselves...lol

also...nobody is saying cold approach cannot work...but ur naive to think that its the best way to approach women...especially when youre telling the op to just go up to them and ask them out and ask for their number.

I also don't you think you should be discouraging the OP from cold approaching women either.

This reeks of the ''You need to know a woman to ask her out'' mentality, that I just ****ing hate so much.

What if he doesn't know many women? ''He needs to get online and date'' I know that's the first reply I'll get.

At the very least, going up and asking out women will give him experience with talking to women and be better for his social skills. It's good practice at least, so when the right woman comes along or one that WILL say yes, he'll know what he's doing.

Even if you aren't advising him not to cold approach women, I really feel like a lot of these posts in here might keep him from doing so, or scare the **** out of him and people don't really need to be doing that.
