June 10 (3/25-30)
No video.
3 numbers
25 or 30 approaches
3 venues. Got the bulk of it done in the first 2 venues probably all within 90min.
Definitely the fastest I've gone.
Lesson here is that approaching in mall hallways is better than the stores. You can just get more in.
Experienced lots of rejection
Ballsier stuff.
- duo sitting. Turned out to be supperrrrrr old. Like 150.
- pushed the boyfriend excuse a few times. Actually got a number on one of them.
- approached one girl in front of the one that rejected.
Number from girl who's taken?
Do you have a boyfriend?
"No but I'm seeing someone."
"Cool. I dont know how available you are tho. You want to get some coffee?"
"Sure"
Got her number.
She hasn't responded yet. So this is just another ghost probably.
Nothing special. Just had decent traffic in the 1st mall and then again on the 2nd mall...today felt natural.
Speed
This was by far the highest volume I've done on a workday. The quickest I've gotten to 10 and 25 approaches.
Goal reached
So yah that Completes the 100 approaches in a week goal.
That was extremely fast. I was expecting it to take 2 months to get there.
Now on to 150. Or maybe just 200.
Issues:
- starting out faster. I left work at 3:15. But somehow actually started approaching at 4:30.
- approaching in the vicinity of a number. I've noticed i shy away from a place after I've received one number. But idk. Most of these girls ghost or flake. So maybe I shouldn't care.

Why care? What's the difference between doing all your AA drills in like 2 malls?Manganiello wrote: βFri Jun 11, 2021 3:24 amapproaching in the vicinity of a number.

I guess outcome dependence?
I think I just assume if the girl sees me approach in the same mall she'll decline the date when i go onto text her. That's just what's going on in my head.
Yah that one felt good. I actually didn't care that she said she's seeing someone. The hottest girl I talked to all day too.
+/- 200 years.

all in your head is the key phrase. Never really know whats going to happen.

This. Always this!
You may have similar selections in Alberta as we do in Ontario, so here's what I'd recommend:
McMannis Cab Sauv (not a fan, but it's white girl crack)
Liberty School Cab Sauv
Beronia Tempranillo Rioja OR Beronia Reserva if you're feeling fancy
LAN Crianza
Any beaujolais du villages
They're all easy drinking reds, they're all under 20 bucks and they all pair with meats, olives, pickles -- effectively making an easy charcuterie board.
I rarely (like twice) break out food on a first date that ends up at my place. But sometimes a girl's gotta eat. Learning how to throw together something easy will put you above and beyond 90% of men. This is great for retention, especially if you're actually passionate about food and drink.
Too much effort looks like you're trying to impress them too early - so a small board of meat, cheeses and antipasto goes over well.
If you're feeling it, I find:Manganiello wrote: βTue Jun 08, 2021 3:51 amTalked for probably 20 minutes than I transitioned to "do you like movies"? ... "do you want to watch one now?"
"Join me for a drink at mine?" or "Let's grab a drink back at mine" works. It's direct, they know your intentions, and will politely opt out if they're not into the idea of having sex with you on the first date. If they say no, don't assume they're not interested in seeing you again either.
"I really enjoyed last night. I'll be in touch next week" or "I really enjoyed last night. I'd like to see you again." Direct, honest, polarizing.
Did I read that right? 124 conversations in a day? That's both incredible and exhausting. Good job boys.

Ehhh, I remember on one of the AA week 6 days I totally made this girl's day calling her cute...and then her face totally dropped when I did the drill to the two girls sitting across the table from her (was in a library, they weren't in the same group but it wasn't THAT big of a table either).Toast wrote: βFri Jun 11, 2021 6:15 pmall in your head is the key phrase.

To be clear, she didn't say anything. But I did feel bad that I went from bringing her sky high and then plummeting her back down to earth.
For real approaches, I haven't done any in *that* close of quarters. I seem to recall Bad Idea Bear mentioning that it's kinda obviously not the best idea for a girl you get a number from to see you approaching girls - but I'm also pretty sure I remember from his log that he banged a girl from a grocery store who saw him hit on a girl after he got her number.
So it's definitely not the end of the world. Just do whatever you actually want.

It's not really a choice.
I atleast have to be 100% fine talking in proximity to girls I just exchanged with and not do it for AA or some other excuse.
Vast majority of girls flake anyway.
Like the girl I was being concerned about ended up being the biggest dickwad I've ever texted (axtually). So its like "OK why the fuck was I concerned about her when she goes on to be a prick when I text her?"
Rejections should be the focus.
Actually @RogerRoger, any idea how many lays Bad Idea Bear got from cold approach?

Yeah fair enough - I agree you shouldn't let AA rule your life.
Regarding BiB's lay count, Glasgow or Andy might remember. I honestly don't, but I'd bet it was 10+ and wouldn't be surprised if it was 50+.

I think both Chris and BIB had 100+ lays, and they both had written (Chris in an article and BIB in his signature) that around 30 came from cold approach.RogerRoger wrote: βSun Jun 13, 2021 2:27 amYeah fair enough - I agree you shouldn't let AA rule your life.

June 12
4 #s out of 25 or 30 out of maybe 3 hours.
Could've been more. But...
1. I scheduled a date on the spot for later in the afternoon and she flaked.
2. I was hanging a friend who's moving to Toronto.
3. Had wayyyyy too much weed, ended up having to go to the hospital I was trippin so bad.
4. I was experimenting in new places.
Anyway it was a fun night. But ya would've done it differently a bit where I can approach more. Actually would've done it a lot differently.
I'm pretty sure all of those numbers are ghosting. But I guess you never really know.
Weight entered the 160s again.
