I cant speak for OLD concepts because I don't dabble with it nowadays.
But as for
cold approaches; I keep accurate stats on it, so I can tell you
exactly what my success/failure rates are.
First, you have to set realistic expectations and goals for yourself.
My aim is to have at least a 30% smash rate.
That is, out of every 10 women I approach, I expect to be able to successfully provide my phone number (and have a short, meaningful conversation with at least 3 of them afterwards).
And of those 3, I need to smash at least one of them.
.....
I conduct my approaches in increments of 20, until I reach 100...and then I start over, although I keep the overall results (in ratio) of every 100 filed.
I keep stats of every increment and monitor the trends.
.....
I am currently on my second increment of 100...but my first increment of 100 goes a little something like this...
I approached 102 women (went over by 2 for that one).
Out of 102 women of whom identified as single and accepted my phone number, and of whom called me and expressed interest..
39/102
Success percentage: 38%
So, I exceeded my expectations.
However, I'm not out of the woods yet, because just because they called me and we had a short, meaningful conversation; doesn't mean that they will be receptive to my
direct, bold approach.
So, of those 39 women, how many did I engage in physical, intimate contact after my approach?
Well..
8/39
Success percentage: 20%
Failed to meet expectations of at least 30%, and should that trend continue, I'll have to tweak my methods a little, and I know just what to do.
...
But yeah, I've always been a stat head, especially with sports.
I keep stats to monitor my progress and it pays dividends.
....
I even keep tabs on my monthly compliments that I receive on my body game..averaging at least 6 compliments per month...which is about 1.5 per week.
Crazy, I know.
