Aaron Sleazy - Cold Approach Pretty Much Useless

[Mark]

1) The title of Sleazy's freaking post is "Cold Approach is Pretty Much Useless" -- You're definitely drinking the fanboy kool-aid if you don't recognize that he called it "useless."

2) Arguing about 25% versus 10% "success rates" goes against more or less everything I've taught in the last year and it continues to drive me crazy no matter what thread it pops up on. Stop objectifying your fucking social lives and start focusing on happiness and quality of interactions, not quantity or ratios. You can enjoy an interaction with a girl and not sleep with her. You can sleep with a girl and feel worse because of it. STOP FUCKING MEASURING YOUR EMOTIONAL LIVES AND START LIVING. Jesus christ...

3) It is absurd to assume that EVERY girl you approach knows you're about to approach her. This simply isn't realistic.

4) There have been MANY times where women have been lukewarm to me when I approached them and then went on and slept with me and/or dated me. The girl I'm in NYC with right now is one such example. She loves telling the story of how when she saw me approaching, she thought to herself, "Oh God, another one..." and three months later she's flown 3,000+ miles to see me. If I waited for approach invitations, I would not be here with her right now.

5) Criticizing people without linking and quoting what was said in its entirety is poor form and would never be published in any professional publication. It's intellectually dishonest. If he wants to criticize me, fine. But he should at least represent me fairly. To intentionally not to and hide it by not linking is manipulating his readership and a piss-poor way to promote himself.

Locking this thread because once again, it's just a big circle jerk of mental masturbation. Approach the women you like. Rejection happens, get used to it. I'm not sure why this is so fucking controversial... oh wait, I know why, because Sleazy told you it's useless.

As with everything, go out and do what works for yourself.
