Can ya'll give me a reading list on the "game" concept
I haven't ever seen or read anything interesting but if you have the confidence to approach nearly 200 girls you have to be using some tech that I might find useful.
Don't bother reading or watching videos on 'game'. Reading a book or watching a video will not give you what you need to go out and approach girls.
The only way you can get the confidence to do this is through practice, not theory. You just have to go out and start approaching. It's very difficult at first, but when you break through that initial barrier, it gradually becomes easier.
I was a nervous wreck when I started doing this. I had some excruciatingly awkward interactions because I was so nervous. You just have to push through that initial phase. It's fairly easy for me to approach now because I have enough experience under my belt, but it's taken a while to get to this point.
Personally, I don't use any 'techniques' or 'routines' or pre-rehearsed lines. All of that is pointless to me, because your chances of success depend largely on whether the girl finds you physically attractive or not. If she doesn't, all of that stuff is irrelevant because it doesn't change your looks. You can't talk people into being sexually attracted to you.
As far as confidence is concerned, my results are just one example to demonstrate it as a meme. I've approached girls with their friends, with their parents, in large groups, at their work, in crowded areas with others in earshot - if that doesn't show a high level of confidence, I don't know what does. But it hasn't got me anywhere in terms of tangible results - because I don't have the looks to back it up.
OP we all went throught that path of cold approaching and it was highly ineffective for most of us. If you aren't atleast a 6 on the looks scale, then on behalf of all the forum, just don't waste your precious time.
Last year I would go into the city specifically to do approaches. I wasn't there for any other purpose other than to approach girls. So when I was walking around for hours, getting constantly rejected, it became demoralising and led me to question what I was doing.
Yesterday, I had plans for the afternoon, so I had a window of opportunity between my haircut and the afternoon to do approaches. I wouldn't have been doing anything specific anyway. So the rejections didn't really affect me because I knew I was out for another purpose other than approaching girls.
This is the way I plan to do it moving forward. When I'm out for some other purpose and have an opportunity, I can approach, as opposed to going out specifically to approach. Otherwise I can just LDAR and not waste my time.
I know this is extremely ineffective. But I just want to know that I've tried.
