Exhibit A. ^^^ Like we keep saying, it doesn't really matter what you say. Just say anything. Just get the ball rolling.

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.
I certainly don't associate those two items.

Dang it, that is where I must have been screwing up all this time!

I usually say something like "You got a purtty mouth!" or "You make me really horny!"

I guess I need to revise my pickup lines a bit?


Seriously though, most guys think there is this magic or secret that they need to find out. Secret is opening your mouth and saying a few simple, sincere words to get the ball rolling.

My routine is simple, if she gave me a look or done something and caught my attention:
- Approach and say something like "Hello, my name is xxxxx" Don't ask hers, see if she willfully and easily shares hers as well or not.
Try to read her body language, women will typically get all defensive and cautious when you cold approach them, that is natural. If she doesn't seem nervous and instead starts chatting away, then you got lucky, there is no ice to break!

Generally though, I know from past relationship, they all thought I was cute when they saw me but man, most of them were playing hard to get initially! I find girl who give me just enough attention but also play hard to get a bit, a fine line between being playfully hard-to-get and stuck up. Same goes for guys about being confident and cocky, you don't have to say a lot or be cracking jokes all the time, even an introvert can be confident and charming.

In my younger days, when I actually gave a crap and tried, I would get shot down or hit a wall most of my attempts. Some were cold chicks but sometimes I would blow it too. You have to expect 99% failure rate and learn to suck it up and keep moving forward like nothing happened. It is much easier said than done but only then you have a chance to realize your faults and start correcting them.
You don't get the showroom shine with the first application of polish!

I know it sounds like preaching but it is true. Do it while you are younger though because when you start getting older, crankier and lazier, you will start making excuses not to approach anyone!

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?

1. I just talk to people and enjoy their company.
2. I don't get attached
3. I don't give a crap what women think about me
4. I have 0 fear of rejection

I'm not by any means a "master" at dating lol.. but I do pretty good for myself.

There's really not much more to it than that. People try to make it way more difficult and confusing than it really is. When you realize other people's approval is nothing and you stop trying to impress others.. it all becomes easy. Life in general does.
