Yeah, if the guy is a wuss, than his chances are pretty slim to begin with. But overall i think your content is pretty solid advice. I think alittle more on mans body language could be useful as well. Straight posture, chin up, shoulders back, take up space, flirtatous smirk, constant eye contact (a must when talking), open and inviting body language, confident and assertive movements and most important feeling comfortable and relaxed....etc etc....
I have never stated that . Dont put words into someone else's mouth .
The meaning behind it is more broad then it seems . Please once again , if I offended you. I'm sorry
Just trying to point some guys into the right direction instead of leading them around the block down the street make a u turn and get lost at the end .
It would be better for them to engage in activities that get them in touch with people who have common interest than to try to be a random pick up artist.
To be fair, he did acknowledge the 90% chance of being shot down. Are you suggesting that dates never happen from random encounters and exchanged digits in places that aren't bars? I think a 10% success rate is a reasonable estimate for an okay-looking guy who isn't creepy or obnoxious, reads body language relatively well, and approaches women who are generally "in his league."
The OP doesn't strike me as a PUA-type at all. A PUA d-bag would tell you they have a strategy that works every time, and would be waaaayyyyy less friendly and laid-back when it didn't work, because their fragile little egos would be destroyed. It would be more like the dating show a-hole the OP references.
10% success rate on the OPs strategy is way too high. Success rate is probably more like 0.5%, if that.
I'm not versed in what a PUA is, but the strategy the OP laid out definitely seems to be "the art of picking up random women".

I don't know the OP, so I don't know his success rate, but I can tell you that if most of us got shot down 199 times out of 200 (0.5% success) in approaching women with simple friendly conversation, we'd have all given up and killed ourselves by now, and the species would have died off. 10% is not at all way too high.

It doesn't sound random to me. If trying to meet women through general friendly chit-chat for the purpose of dating is the definition, then all single straight males would be considered PUAs! PUA on forums like this refers to particular guys who use a very specific, highly manipulative, disingenuous formulaic strategy, not just any random man chatting with any random woman trying to ask her out.
Well, what's an example of an experience you've actually had, and how did it turn out ?
I have a few personal experiences that I am going to include in my next post .
To support my discussion of the next topic sorta speak.
Stay tuned
