App swipers think they are being efficient swiping while pooping or during down time while working. In reality, with their less than 1% match rate on right swipes, they have to do a ton of volume to compensate for their poor match rates. In a highly populated metro area, there are enough options for them to swipe on. If a guy does nothing but swipe while sitting at home, he can put up thousands of swipes quickly without leaving home. With those thousands of swipes, there can be matches. Some of those matches will lead to dates. It's a basic funnel.
Gotchaaaa.
And that is, in my opinion, the most
subjective part of the OLD vs CA debate.
In terms of access to hundreds of women while exerting very little effort/energy...then obviously, OLD gets the edge.
But, if you like your women up close & personal and you like going out and
getting it...then CA has the edge.
It is preference, no doubt.
The mere adrenaline rush that comes with CA is something OLD can't come close to, IMHO.
In general, I have found that app arranged dates tend to be lower quality dates. These are more likely to be "one date, no sex, no second date" type interactions where the man wastes money on the cost of the date. Too many of these "one date, no sex, no second date" type dates and the man will easily waste hundreds to thousands of dollars, not to mention his self-esteem will be damaged.
See, and that's why I can't FUK wit it.
Reminds me of when a friend explained to me why he doesn't eat crab legs.
His reason: Too much work for so little return.
Agreed for you. Most men don't arrange a date and collect a phone number on 34% of their approaches.
I'd say most men are in the single digit percentages on arranging dates from approaches.
That is why they should use both, to increase their chances of success.
Real life approaches are unlimited in theory. They are only limited by the time available for the man to go out and do the approaches.
True. But unless the man is living the life of a hermit, any time he goes into the public domain (even a stop at the gas station), is an
opportunity.
Even if you aren't a guy who goes out to get it (like me), that shouldn't stop you from taking advantage of
happenstance situations.
I believe approach burnout is a real consideration. If a man goes and does a 2 hour approach session outdoors and sees very few approach targets/does few approaches and gets no numbers, he will not enjoy himself.
Is it because he sees very few targets, or is it because he is afraid to approach the targets he sees?
Too many of those unenjoyable approach sessions outdoors or with indoor retail game can be bad psychologically for a man.
I truly doubt that these unenjoyable sessions are from guys that have put the work in.
I believe what you are describing is based on theory, like yes, if a guy has those experiences it could be bad psychologically for him.
But also in theory, if a guy has a 34% success rate, then it could be
good psychologically for him.
I guarantee most guys have NEVER cold approached a woman in their lives, so they have no personal, real life data to support their theories..they have approach anxiety and are going off perception which are led by their anxieties.
If they would actually put the work in, they'd be surprised at the results.
