Are Dating Apps really that bad right now

I have previously advocated strategic cold approaching in venues where it isn't frowned upon. I am 100% sure you guys are already practicing this, but when y'all go on here and say cold approaching is king with vague context, you are letting us assume that y'all are out here approaching random women left in right in public spaces or areas where approaching strangers isn't genuinely welcomed. I just find it very hard to believe that y'all are just pulling 10/10 ass from the personal checkout kroger section every day with ease. No matter great your frame/game is, a situation like I described can happen in certain environments.

No, the thing is, when you do enough approaching, you become attractive enough that women start approaching you. And you become attuned to where and how you should interact with women without becoming unwelcome.

With dating apps, all you need are good pictures and basic social IQ to succeed on them.

Succeed is such a subjective term. The type of women on dating apps tend to be the type I can also find in the Amsterdam Red Light District. If I'd just want to 'hookup', a ten minute walk and a hundred euro are a lot cheaper than spending hours swiping one hoe after another on a dating app and chatting for hours to getting them to go on a real life date, when all they want to get is attention and validation.

Are they really that bad?

My fat friend (certainly no Chad, but a sociable, very funny and intelligent guy) met his second wife and mother to his second kid on one.

Another friend met who is similar to a second wife (live together, she wears a ring, combined family).

Two female cousins met their husbands.

My other fat married friend did an experiment, not to cheat, but to check an app out of curiosity about how they’re so bad for men, and got responses, and then deleted his profile.

I’m now balding and graying and in the last three years have had more women starting conversations with me while out and about than the decade before them.

Women are getting annoyed by all the wussies out there, so they are interested in mature men, especially if you appear to have your life together. Bald and grey is not a detriment. As long as you're not boring.
