Hi, my title pretty much sums up this post. I've always relied on social circle game. I'm quite popular and always have been but found I've been able to create a psychological space around me that I can enjoy my own pursuits when I want and how I want. I never knew it at the time but because I have great friends and meet new people by them all the time that I have my options raised when it comes to meeting and attracting members of the opposite sex.

I'm grateful I have a social circle but because my friends have a certain preconception of me and how I am as a person, I find that sometimes I feel held back by this. I plan on doing cold approach in my spare time to raise the bar of my social abilities but I don't know where to start.

Any suggestions welcome (and I would prefer some examples please).

Enjoy the weekend.

Social circle game is training wheels game.

Get out there on your own and make it happen from scratch like a master chef.

When you start *disrupting* other's social circles, then you know you're doing it right.

Social circles are exactly how the majority of people find partners. It's people without quality social circles that have to rely on cold approach to meet others.

If your current social circle is causing problems, try extending it. Meet some people who are friends of friends of friends. That should help get away from those preconceptions that you mentioned.

I think social circle is fine because it's inherited preselection. Fewer women but exponentially higher chances of them being on the same page with you.
Cold approach is the opposite of that. Exponentially more women, but what you get is highly random.

I like both, but in my experience social circle is more reliable.

Or inherited "lower value", if you are seen through preconceptions, like the OP is describing.

I had this one guy in my social circle that we all made fun of, like we did of all of us, but he was rarely able to turn the tables, so was seen as low value. The poor guy had to cut ties with us to get a chance of meting women, and it worked. I was pissed of at the time of loosing a friend, but in hindsight he did the right thing.

So the social circle can be a good thing or a bad thing, as there are almost always one or two guys that are getting all the attention and cock blocking is a natural part of male behaviour, done on intentionally or not.

OP, i found the "missions" presented on this forum to be of great help.

If you can't hold you own with those you consider friends you have bigger issues to face than meeting women imo.

I agree.

Make more friends. Expand your social circle.
