I think that the vast majority of guys who are trying to get into pickup are wasting valuable time, effort and money in focusing on cold approach.

Am I against cold approach?

Of course not. Being good at cold approach is one of the fundamental pillars of attraction - but it isn't the only one. Cold approach will only get you so far when dealing with women - especially in cases where there is limited access to a large amount of targets, such as small or isolated cities or countries. It can also be an effort in frustration when you have those "off nights" where you approach 20 women in a night and go home with not even a facebook name.

What SHOULD you be focusing on?

SOCIAL CIRCLE GAME and WARM APPROACH

Social circle game is beautiful because it automatically disarms the "bitch shields" that women put up. You don't have to waste your time getting acceptance and hoping she doesn't blow you out - you're hanging with HER people, so you're already pre qualified. Not to mention, good social circle game will boost your social value even in cold approach situations - you're with a group, having fun, being the life of the party, so you MUST be high value!

All I'm saying guys is to ditch the mentality that cold approach is the "right" or "only" way to meet women. Build a good social circle and game the shit out of it.

Building a good social circle is more of a general life skill. If you're currently in a social circle where you aren't feeling exactly like a T-bone, then you'll probably feel a little more pussified at the idea of beginning to flirt with the girls in your social circle.

So interacting with new girls in front of the previously un-attracted existing social circle members to make you more attractive. Do this enough and your reputation will increase value and put you in greater advantage to get girls from your social circle..

If there are no girls in your social circle you wanna bang, then increase the circle....

The key to having a great social circle, is having the balls to step out of it....or right in the middle of it!

Very good point ChocolatePUA.

You're right - it's an important life skill as well. And yes, the majority of times you'll want to increase your social circle so that you can game OUTSIDE your direct social circle as well, because if you're gaming more than one woman in your social circle things can get messy!

As much as I respect the benefits of social circle. For me, my ambition is to travel the world. I feel social circles is a bit of a an anchor to my overall goal. Travelling and cold approach kinda go hand in hand. But thats just me. But it can't hurt to have one if you're staying put in your city...
