Ugh, as I've already mentioned in another post in this thread, you wouldn't be asking them out for sex, you'd be asking them out for dates and a potential relationships. Get your minds out of the gutter guys.

Never.

IDK, OP. What I've heard is that, to meet someone you hit it off with on some level, you have to meet 100 people. That could mean 100 first dates to find one that really has some longer-term potential. I don't think it means approaching 100 strangers to find one that will agree to have a conversation over coffee. But IDK. Obviously, the people who are more charming in their approach will have better odds, while the shy, awkward ones may have worse luck, so it's not like a guarantee, or anything. I thought it meant that a good match is a 1-in-100 kind of thing.

Depends on who you're hitting on..If you it on 100 women who aren't attracted to you the answer will still be no each time regardless the number.

I personally am too sensitive to go that route and get rejected that many times to get a yes.

Actually there was a "King of Hill" episode when Boomhauer showed that was his strategy.

It's like telemarketing. You try 25+ people, eventually one will buy what you're selling.

Kind of an odd question. Like, "Does the numbers game work?" Well, I imagine it does eventually, but buckle in for a lot of rejection if you're going to take a shotgun-blast approach rather than taking the time to evaluate likely compatibility to her before you ask.

I hope you're talking about online dating or something, rather than standing outside of a Walmart asking every woman who enters or leaves. I don't imagine that the same tactics for selling Girl Scout cookies work when you're trying to sell the D...
Walmart is the last place where I'd want to meet women. If a guy can't get a date there then he really has issues.

The # is 104, OP. and if you haven't succeeded at that point, you can get a hearing in relationship court.

No - if he's a butthead, asking 100x or 1000x won't make a difference.

Approaching 100 women is way too many and comes off as desperate..

Me personally and this applies to me, myself, and I.

The only socially acceptable mating-approach nowadays is getting to know people through friends or when women initiate the conversation with the men. I see no reason to approach a woman I don't know at all.
