If you are average looking, probably 5-10 will say yes. Even if you are well below average, you will get a couple of women that will say yes.
This is a horrible approach.

I'm not bitter about it though.

You shouldn't be either.
Compared to other people who haven't been successful in the dating/relationship realm, you seem to have a good attitude. You also seem to have a good attitude about life in general.

To what do you attribute the fact that you have not had any romantic relationship experience?

This might be the first time we've ever agreed on anything!

Yet when I was single I had more dates than I had time for. OP, please don't listen to people like this. My approach works.

Even at a 90% failure rate OP will have more dates than he has time for if he approaches enough women.

Yeah, maybe he can try your approach and then come back in a couple months and let us know how it went. It won't go very well.

Seriously. Why as random people you know absolutely nothing about, and to start with "you're hot"? Man, I go out with lady friends fairly often, that mindset gets dudes laughed at. Even if you get a date out of it 1 in 20 times or whatever, what's the point? The chances of you hitting it off is ridiculously small.

The only thing worse than not having any dates is having tons and tons of first dates that lead to nothing. Now that's depressing.

If you want to change that approach to engaging in conversation with people, then with those you have a connection with you ask out... at least that is legit.

Of course it will. And it won't take 2 months, either. He could ask out 100 women in 1 day if he puts his mind to it. If he does this he'll be dating by this weekend.

Lol, I've used a similar approach in my youth, and as horrible it may seem, its an approach nonetheless; it will give a man some immunity to rejection and will strengthen his confidence. And it has worked, ime, btw.

As one gains more experience, he will hone his approach, but its a good starting point.
