| cold approaching is almost exclusively what i do. my social circle is big enough that i pretty much know all the girls in it, so one of my goals in becoming a PUA has been to meet new people, not ones in the circle already. so i sarge girls in lines at fast food places, the sidewalk, etc. i also don't have a wing where i'm living right now so i've been flying solo. i think the big thing with cold pickups is a lingering fear of rejection. when you sarge girls who you know you at least have something in common with, ie: being at the same party, having a mutual friend, you have that ready-made start of rapport with them. a cold pickup you have no idea, and neither do they. the bitch shields are stronger, the fear is stronger, therefore the chances of success are smaller. and i'll tell you, i crash and burn more often than not. but i keep getting better, and when it does come time to sarge a girl who is in my circle there is no fear whatsoever. i think it's like playing a video game on hard rather than on normal level. you die a whole lot more, but when you succeed you can be like, "shit yeah i beat that bastard on super impossible kill you in the face with a toilet seat and then poop on your face level!" you think you get an ego boost from getting girls you know now? think about it from when you get one you don't. but you kinda have to start at the begining all over again, get over the fear, crach and burn, but keep at it till you have it down. happy hunting.
