How to Stop Flaking - My Method (Input Appreciated)

[Mace]

Mark, appreciate the detailed response. You raise some great points.

IMO this debate goes back to the classic PUA value vs. tactics dichotomy.

Your response seems to suggest that I resort to tactics because I lack value. This isn’t true. I have a degree in a demanding field. I have a high-paying professional career. I have my own place. I have a car. I have a lean, muscular build. I’m literate. I’m well-travelled. I’m knowledgeable about a wide array of subjects.

But how much of this can you convey, honestly, in a 10 to 15 minute interaction? This is why I use tactics to yield more bangs per approach.

IMO tactics are extremely important in the context of a day game cold approach, where there is very little margin for error. Since she still regards you as a stranger who hasn’t been vetted/pre-screened/pre-approved (via social circle), the slightest hint of awkwardness and neediness will send the girl running.

I have seen a lot of guys fail to capitalize on a great initial interaction through awkward/needy texts and not building rapport through the phone, and then wonder why girls flake.

Even if your initial interaction is great (and I question how efficiently you can convey your high-value awesomeness in 10 minutes), girls will still flake out due to a lack of comfort. This is all the more so true of younger girls who are more cliquey/social-circle oriented and insecure.

You emphasize that the key is the initial interaction. I’m still curious as to what you do in your 10-15 minute day game cold approaches to get girls so enthralled by you that they rarely flake. You’ve been fairly evasive about this, so if you can elaborate on what you exactly say and do to get such a low flake ratio it’d be great. You’d be helping out a lot of guys here who are struggling to contend with flakes.

Thanks again Mark.
