RSD and Mystery are about the worst people you could ever consult about this stuff.
You're right in that RSD tells you to act retarded, and randomly try to force sexual escalation, rather than calibrate escalation based on response. This is why RSD only works for good looking guys using it on drunk girls, and they'd be better off not using it at all.
Your above average success comes from putting yourself out there more than most guys. It is not thanks to these two awful methods.
Cold approach is different based on your setting. In a night club, yes you need more energy. In the daytime, it depends on where you're doing it. "Street game" is something I continually see suggested and it's the single worst way to meet women. Go inside of buildings or somewhere that is made to be social outdoors, like a park or a beach.
As for cold approaching goals, it depends on day vs night again.
In the day, you want to meet a girl and figure out if she seems interested in the first minute or so. If she isn't, tell her to have a good day and move on. I don't suggest direct unless you're very good looking and looking to date girls who are your looks equivalent. After you've opened indirect, if she seems interested, tell her you think she's cute and that's why you're talking to her. Once you've talked for a few minutes, tell her you want to do something(preferably specific, it's good to see what she's into during the conversation) and then get her number. Do not just ask for her number. Telling her you're going to go out with her on a date and getting the number for that, will reduce your number of flakes by a ton.
During the night, you need to find a girl you like early and stick with her for the duration of the night. Higher approach numbers is not better. Do screen her hard up front though. Make sure she's into you, available and able to hookup later(if you're going for SNL). Hitting on 20 women in a night is a sign that you're doing things wrong - very wrong.
That's a pretty brief guide for America. How well does it translate to Asia? Don't know. For one thing "Asia" is pretty vague as it covers everything from Israel to India to China to Kazakhstan to Japan to Saudi Arabia.
