All of that being said, you are the one that brought up the topic of rapport and seems to be your primary focus when it comes to commonalities. Commonalities don't only lead to rapport. It can lead to actual value outside the realm of rapport. I'll try to explain this in a simplistic way. A panhandler walks into your job and he sees you working hard and walks over and compliments you on your work ethic and says you deserve a promotion. His compliment doesn't have any value because he's panhandler. A coworker can give you the same compliment and that can actually mean something because you both are equals and you stand on common ground. The perception of equality can tip the scale in your favor. While at a bar you can be a 3 and not have a chance with the coworker that's an 8 because you're in the same position as that panhandler, but in the office you can be the go to guy and that same coworker will look up to you.
I'm going to lay this straight with a very long post. Feel free too challenge any of my ideas that you think are wrong. If you do answer, make sure that you answer all of my questions and explain your points.
We seem to agree on a few things. Mostly that rapport can be used to further your seduction. Just as in your example it will make it easier to get promoted or get a job if you are recommended by somebody or have created commonalities with somebody that is in the business. I've already wrote about this in a post I made called cold approach vs warm approach. Where I talk about the cold to hot scale and calibrating your opening to where you are on the scale when you first meet the girl. However...
This is sexual attraction we're talking about. This is obviously not a factor in the workplace. But to just continue the metaphor and make my point lets replace sexual value with your current abilities to perform in the role that the company is looking for. This is the value level that you are at in terms of your skills and capabilities for the job role you are going for. The job role requires your skill value to be at 8, but based on your current level you can actually only offer the skill value of 3. You might of came with a recommendation and sat in the interview and initially the manager is nice to you because you know so and so... you might even both support the same football team.
It's all going well, but then he asks you about your current level of experience and whether you feel confident in performing the tasks that the job role requires. The role requires you to have a value factor of 8, yet you can only bring a value factor of 3 to the company based on the attributes and skills that you can actually do. The manager will probably dig deeper to find out if you're really good enough for the role. He might give you a few tasks to do and put you on trial. After just a small while he realizes that your not actually what he's looking for, you don't live up to the demands of the role and you are actually costing the company money. He gets rid of you and you don't get the job, and he'll also probably be pissed at whoever recommended a 3 to him. He sifts through the other applications looking for that guy who is qualified for the role and desperately wants a guy who's skill value is 8 or above to fulfill the duties.
You went of track with the metaphor, because this is actually sexual attraction we're talking about, but I think that proves the point pretty well using your same metaphor. Now... onto attraction.
You have also tried to make the point that womens level of attraction towards men can change from day to day and that men genuinely don't loose attraction for women.
This is wrong. Infact... I know that I find a certain girl I'm seeing at the moment a whole lot more attractive when she's wearing tight leggings and has her hair up. I also feel more attracted to her when she is being sexual and in a playful mood rather than when she's in her pajama pants sat shoveling food into her mouth.
The same is true for women. She has told me that she finds me more attractive when I have my hair all messed up and I'm wearing a shirt, and she also seems to get more turned on when I'm being cocky and playful with her. None of this attraction is built on commonalities... in fact she is asian and I had no idea who she was a few months ago and I don't have much in common with her apart from that we both find each other attractive and sexually compatible. Nobody introduced us, she IOI'd me and I capitalized on it with an opener.
You see, just like men are attracted to women with certain looks, body types and personality. Women are attracted to men with certain looks, body types and personality. Men like nice hair, attractive face, nice ass, nice tits, nice legs. Women also like nice hair, nice chest, nice shoulders, good height.
Whilst men do focus more on looks, it has to be admitted that women do focus more on personality traits of a man. They prefer guys who are confident in themselves and show all the other traits that they are attracted to. This is the reason that the guys on the football team are the ones who date the hot cheerleaders. Attractive girls are attracted to men who are winners. This is how nature has always been. You can't argue against evolution.
So that is where attraction comes from. In today society a mans sexual value can be based on his... personality, looks, way he looks, lifestyle and ability to seduce.
These are the things that will induce feelings of attraction in a woman. Notice how none of these things touch on the topic of rapport? that's because rapport and attraction are not the same thing. Rapport is something that can be build with anybody. It can be built between friends and it can also be built between people who are sexually attracted to each other, but it is not something that can create attraction in and of itself. Commonalities is obviously just one small aspect of rapport.
I do challenge you to explain how having commonalities with somebody can build any attraction at all, because at the moment you've made the point that they can but havn't explained how... because like I said if that was the case you would be attracted to your friends which just isn't the case.
So lets take the guy who is a 3 on the sexual value scale. He's not confident in himself, he's average looking but doesn't dress very well or take care of himself, he has only had sexual experience with one girl in his life and it was very shortlived, he lives in a block of flats and lives a pretty boring lifestyle working at a cafe.
Lets say he's going to approach a girl who is an 8 on the sexual value scale. She's very confident in herself and has just had her hair done. She's got guys buzzing on her phone atleast daily and is wearing a short skirt and smells gorgeous because she took time on her appearance this morning. She still lives with her parents, but she still gives a great blowjob and knows how to ride dick.
3 is going to cold approach her. How far do you think he'll get? 3 is then going to see that she is sat next to him and flicking through her iphone, he notices that she's listening to a song he likes and opens. How far do you think he'll get? 3 is friends with somebody who knows her and gets introduced to her in a nightclub through somebody she knows. How far do you think he'll get?
You see... 3 is never going to fuck her. Because she is an 8 and he is a 3. Just like the employer will never fully hire the guy that is a 3 because he isn't what he's looking for. The girl is looking for an 8 or above and when she see's what she wants, she will most likely feel attraction and follow that feeling. That is the way that it works. I wrote a lot about this here on this thread...

Even if 3 has all the commonality in the world with 8... if she doesn't find anything about him sexually attractive she will never fuck him and he will just get friendzoned whilst she looks for the 8 or 9 (the classic nice guy, nice girl, badboy story). The only way that 3 can get attraction from 8 is by raising his value by improving personality, looks, way he looks, lifestyle and ability to seduce. And that's what game is... improving on these facets.
This is the answer to OP's question.
It has nothing to do with how cold or warm the approach is. I do agree that a warm approach will be easier to convert than a cold one. But that is the entire reason to learn the cold approach... so that you can get women anywhere you want. I wrote about this here...

But the value factor will always come into play and a 3 is not fucking an 8 unless he raises his value in some way or another. And that's what game is... raising your overall sexual value. Please feel free to explain how he could fuck her without raising his value though (using just commonalities as an example if you would).
