For those reading this who don't live in Texas, HEB is a standard regional grocery store, much like an Albertsons or a Kroger. HEB also owns a chain of 10 upscale grocery stores under the Central Market brand. Central Market is comparable to Whole Foods, though not quite as expensive.


Dallas doesn't have HEB, although HEB is planning to open some stores in the far north suburbs of Dallas soon. Dallas does have Central Market, which is owned by HEB.

There are 3 Central Market locations in Dallas, 1 in Plano, and 1 in Southlake (Southlake is a suburb that could be called in between Dallas and Fort Worth).

1 of the 3 Central Market (CM) locations in Dallas has some hot women. I've done approaches there. The other 2 CM locations are in Dallas areas where mostly married women and some 40+ divorcees would live. I would imagine those 2 CM locations get a mostly married and older divorcee female customer base.

Why do you think HEB has hot women in the Houston area? There's also one Central Market in Houston. Have you been there?
yeah I’ve been to that central market and I was thinking of going there tomorrow tbh. Lots of thotties there lol. I live next to an upscale heb near downtown where all of the young hot women go to or I can go to the one that gets the rice university girls.

Go to that Central Market location tomorrow. I think Central Market gets a lot of upscale fit women 25+. Central Market is pricier than HEB, which I would say is a lot of a Kroger or Albertsons owned brand. In Houston, you have Randalls, which is an Albertsons brand.

You have 2 good options for pickup with HEB. The upscale one near Downtown Houston likely has a slightly older median age (think 27-29) whereas the one with the Rice University women might be more like 23-25 year olds.

Grocery store approaching is a bit challenging.

I think the biggest element to success in grocery store approaching is selecting grocery stores in areas known to be near hubs of unmarried people in any metro area. Nothing is going to happen at a grocery store in an area near mainly families in the suburbs.

Next, the visit has to be timed well. @Jesse Pinkman did a good job with a late afternoon Saturday time selection. Most weekend times are solid for approaching. Some guys can do ok on weeknights after working hours. I still think the weekend is best for approaching.

I also think some grocery chains are better than others. I think Walmart is near the bottom of options for approaching. Whole Foods and Sprouts women are some of the fittest. Most Kroger or Albertsons brands will fall somewhere in the middle in terms of quality and approachability. @Jesse Pinkman has Publix in Florida, a major Southeast regional grocer. The Publix experience is likely on bar with Kroger or Albertsons brands.

Grocery store approaching, even if selecting well for brand, location, and time of day, involves a lot of lingering and waiting for good approach options to happen. 1-3 approaches per hour in store is about what I was able to accomplish when I was doing a lot of it.

I've gotten the most dates at Kroger and have daygamed a variety of grocery stores over time.
Yeah you have to be subtle with it but IMO, along with Whole Foods you have to include Trader Joes in there too lol. I have seen my share of talent at the Trader Joes that I have been to. Ditto on Walmart lol, so much trash there. Same with Target.

Walmart makes you cry at American society. Thankfully the major cities have gone out of their way to cancel it.

I think Trader Joe's deserves to be categorized similarly to Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Central Market (Texas). I've rarely shopped at Trader Joe's and I've never done an approach there. I don't understand the appeal of Trader Joe's too much.

Walmart is much more than a grocery store. It's a different model than Kroger or Albertsons. That said, grocery shopping brings in a lot of foot traffic to Walmart because people need to shop for groceries more regularly than shopping for TV sets, clothes, or kitchen appliances. Target has a similar model to Walmart but tries to position itself as slightly more upscale. I've grocery shopped Target a few times, generally at less than ideal times for approaching. I've never done an approach in Target. I have heard chatter about people hyping Target as a place for approaches.

I like the Kroger/Albertsons/Publix type grocery options in terms of approaching. The women aren't as stuck up as Whole Foods.

Well dudes, I finally broke. The empty night last night where there were barely any opportunities and the heavy rains all day that killed daygame almost broke me. But then family issues came up and I head to deal with a family member's BS to where I was burnt out. I finally broke today and fapped. Made it to day 6.

However, I just know what I need to do better. Proud that I beat my day 3 curse and wish I could have gone longer, was interested to see how Day 7 would have felt like. Too late though, I just need to learn how to deal with stress better.

Man the fall has sucked so far for me. Things are too slow to pick up and Miami has had a lot of empty weeks. I've gone for weeks walking around and barely find any approachable sets.

I dislike both Walmart and Amazon as corporations. Both of them screw over smaller businesses.

Although that's disappointing news for you, it's understandable why you cracked. NoFap is one of the most difficult things to do. It was more difficult for me to quit porn and masturbation than it would have been for me to quit drinking alcohol.

One of the keys to keeping nofap going is getting laid semi regularly. The approaches have to be effective. Your lack of accomplishments recently in both bar and non-bar approaching was psychologically challenging. Family member BS sucks too. I've had it too and I've had it recently.

I think getting attention is one of the most difficult things for men. Your comment about approachable sets would resonate. In reading through these field reports, you have to realize that you're doing better than many men in terms of having the guts to approach AND getting many conversations on your approaches past the one minute mark in terms of length of conversation. You're also avoiding the shiit show that is the swipe apps. These are successes, even though they don't necessarily feel like them.

It was literally everything as hard as I may have tried.

Bars empty.

Unable to daygame due to awful weather.

No chance even at the grocery store.

Family BS.

Ugh, but hey I lasted 6 days. I'd have to last till Saturday of next week to hit day 7 and then see if I can somehow make it past the 1-week mark.

Miami's weather is oppressive for large portions of the year. I'm not sure I'd like it and it's not like I live in a great place for weather either.

I would like the beach as an option for pickup. So many beaches there. How much on the beach approaching have you done over time?

I like the weather is Los Angeles/Orange County and San Diego. It's crucial to stay close to the ocean because going inland heats it up real fast. 20 miles or so inland and it starts to get warm. It's a shame what has happened there and that's it is essentially an unliveable place even with the good weather.

Thankfully not a Dolphins fan or even much of a fan of NFL football. My college team is killing it as usual so things are looking up there and my World Football team is on fire as of late ;)

It was not that bad last year, late fall of last year it was going great for the most part and the bars were more packed than normal. Not sure what it is with this year. We were supposed to get a summer of pouring rain so it seems like all is delayed. Now we are long overdue for a hurricane as well. Sucks because I wanted to visit the Key West, still DM a daygame girl I number closed while she was in Miami who now lives there.

I couldn’t finish/bust last night in sex, so should I break no fap or hold on. I also met a lovely Korean girl for coffee that I hope leads to future endeavors. Last, my main plates friend is a legit 9/10. She was so hot that her personality reflected it and she acted like one of those dumb awkward Disney channel popular girl types.

I made it to day 6, today I tried something different and put each nofap day on my calendar for the coming days so it reminds me on my phone. Tomorrow will unfortunately be Day 1 as I fapped this morning too.

I did notice one thing, I ended up moaning after I fapped last night and even this morning in bed. It was weird because I don't usually do that.

So much to get caught up on guys, I haven't posted in a bit. So I turned 30 not that long ago and mainly spent time with my family. Did not do much in the way of game. Today was day 3 of nofap for me but due to a lack of sleep last night, I ended up breaking nofap today. I am learning that bad habits beget other bad habits. However, keeping my head straight. Do have a date from daygame scheduled for this coming Friday though.

Was this date arranged from a street approach? Park?

What's the date? Drinks at a good lounge then an Uber back to your place?

The women aren't as stuck up as Whole Foods.
I have not been inside a Whole Foods since prior to the pandemic. It's a good enough place but I'm not that motivated to go to Whole Foods. There's sort of an approaching women at Whole Foods thing mentioned online.

Dallas doesn't have HEB, although HEB is planning to open some stores in the far north suburbs of Dallas soon.
The first HEB opened a couple of days ago in Frisco, a far north Dallas suburb. People went apeshiit for it for absolutely no reason.


Dallas does have Central Market, which is owned by HEB.

1 of the 3 Central Market (CM) locations in Dallas has some hot women. I've done approaches there. The other 2 CM locations are in Dallas areas where mostly married women and some 40+ divorcees would live. I would imagine those 2 CM locations get a mostly married and older divorcee female customer base.
Even in the 1 Central Market location that is in an area where a lot of unmarried people reside, there are still a lot of hot married moms in there. I've seen instances of women with amazing legs/butts pushing around carts with babies in them.

Coffee shop close from Tuesday, it actually went quite lengthy too and seemed real promising but man, I gotta hand it to you @SW15. Our boy BlackDragon/Caleb Jones is really on point.

So the girl in question was Russian American and good lord, I read his article yesterday about Russian women and why he doesn't date them. For days, me and this girl have a lot of fun back and forths over DMs on IG and even on text. Then somehow, someway, today she comes at me asking all these weird weird questions. She asks if I actually live in Miami, if I am actually 30 (despite me posting an IG post about my 30th birthday since I turned 30 on Monday), and all sorts of stuff. It was like she went full blown 180 on her personality and I thought back to the post by Black Dragon about what he experienced with Russian women in the west.

I didn't answer the questions since I was so dumbfounded and even told her outright if she doesn't want to meet up tomorrow, then let's not. She then tells me that if I hide things from her then we shouldn't. It was the weirdest 180 ever dude and all I could think back to was that post by Black Dragon. I went through the same exact crap as Caleb!
