Social circle is great for getting a girlfriend.
Sure, but so is cold approaching. Any place that is cohabited with women can be ideal for accomplishing anything you want with a woman.
The only reason why cold approaching (the way I do it) is better, is because the pot is bigger.
Pay close attention to the words "a girlfriend". That means one girlfriend. If you're looking for an extended relationship (2-5 years or more), your best bet for getting that with the least amount of grief and frustration is social circle.
But normally, there aren't enough women to choose from in those social circles.
It is a numbers game, with more numbers you have to choose from, the more likely you are to find what you seek...and the less numbers you have to choose from, the less likely.
Many men who get social circle girlfriends tend to retain those girlfriends for a long time and often beyond the useful life of the relationship. A lot of the social circle girlfriend guys are beta males and beta males operate from a scarcity mindset. It's common to see a 10+ year relationship relationship from social circle which does lead to a marriage proposal.
True.
When considering the mindset of men with social circle successes, these men often have blue pill conditioning about how life should progress. According to their blue pill conditioning, the path is supposed to be: meet woman, start relationship, put a ring on it, get house in suburbs, have babies. I also think a lot of these blue pill men live in fear of the reactions of other people in their social circle if they deviate from blue pill/normie life development path.
A social circle introduction is a higher percentage play than a swipe app interaction or approaching a stranger (either in a bar or non-bar setting). I've never had a social circle capable of providing me introductions so over the past 20+ years, I've either had to use technology or approach strangers to find dates. It's a more difficult path and it's not a path I recommend highly. Social circle is better in the shorter to medium term. You can get a solid, medium term (1-4 years) girlfriend via social circles more easily than through approaches or swiping more easily.
The problem with social circles becomes sustainability. For instance, I've lived in my current city over 10 years. Social circles have a way of getting pissed off at men who continually exchange girlfriends without marriage or babies, even if the relationships are semi-long (1-4 years). After 2 or so instances of medium term relationships, the social circle will run dry. Social circle is not likely ideal for serial monogamist who does have extended relationships but doesn't commit or the player type who tends to have relationships of less than 1 year. The serial monogamist will likely exhaust his social circle options in roughly 3-7 years, whereas a player type would piss off a social circle in less than 2 years.
Can't say I disagree. But see, I am all about increasing my chances of getting what I want. Social circles can pay off, but cold approaching pays off even better.
He's not doing them a favor. He is doing himself a disservice, unless he's getting an inordinate amount of choosing signals (IOIs) from women and then doing those approaches. Doing approaches with IOIs given first is a better effort. Someone who only approaches women who give off IOIs will do fewer approaches, but those approaches are more likely to be useful approaches.
If I was a betting man, I would say that he ain't getting an
inordinate amount of choosing signals. And that is no shot at him, but that goes for almost
any man.
You would have to be a
drop dead gorgeous of a man in terms of looks, in order to get that many choosing signals. It just doesn't happen to the average guy, or even the above average guy.
That is why cold approaching is the best method to get women.
