Cold Approach: Are local women a waste of time in any major US city you game in?

[Millard Fillmore]

Haven't lived in NYC in a while but 20 million people there, 8 million city proper. Tons of immigrants and daughters of immigrants. If a guy can't pull there he's not trying. Only attitude was from some white transplants from other parts of the US who thought they were Carries.

My local Fry's also has a Trader Joe's and Whole Foods right across the street., both of which are night next to an LA Fitness

I know exactly where that is in Phoenix. That's a great setup. The only thing that doesn't make that setup ideal is that the immediate area isn't the hub of 20s-early 30s single life in the metro area. I would think that there'd be enough 25-40 year olds around that area though.

That setup is great for game. A male member of LA Fitness could go to LA Fitness, run game there either on the general gym floor or a class, then immediate go to one of the grocery stores after and do a weekly shop/linger around and run more game.

How often do you notice women from LA Fitness going to one of those 3 grocery stores? My guess is that it would be more noticeable at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods than Fry's.

It might be logistically complicated to do a Fry's & Whole Foods or Fry's and Trader Joe's gaming session back-to-back and keep the food bought at the 1st grocery store fresh.

Easy fix, get the perishables at the final location.

Personally as an older dude I get more ioi's in public from 20-somethings than any other age group

I go to a different gym, but I wouldn't hit on chicks at the gym or dressed in gym clothes unless I was more experienced at CA

That being said, I think a good strategy would be to hit on girls at the grocery store after their workout since presumably their guard is a little bit down compared to the gym setting, and their endorphins are in full effect. Plus you can approach them spruced up instead of being sweaty in gym clothes.

I agree. It's totally possible to be in a grocery store in regular clothes and hit on women who have just left the gym in workout attire. I have done that.

That is one way to plan it. Another way would be to alternate visits to those various stores over time.

One of the things I learned many years ago doing grocery store game is to put non-perishables in the basket during an extended game session at a grocery store. You do the non-perishables shopping, then focus on approaches for a bit, then pick up the perishables.

The best parts of a typical grocery store for picking women are the produce aisle and the beer/wine aisle(s). However, I have done approaches in almost all aisles. I have not approached a woman while she's picking up feminine hygiene products though its likely I've done an approach where a woman already had feminine hygiene products in her cart.

In Texas, grocery stores can only sell beer and wine. In the United States, alcohol laws vary from state to state. In Texas, if you want to pick up spirits, there are specific liquor stores for that. Total Wine & More is an example of a place to pick up liquor and even have a bigger wine selection than most grocery stores. A mega liquor store like Total Wine & More can serve as a good pickup venue.

Few people ever talk about liquor stores as a non-bar approaching option.

Recently @BackInTheGame78 said something crucial in his thread.

That there's cold approach, and lets call it SPAM approach for now. Spam approach would be "in the mall" randomly approaching, while in my example c approach is: at a party, event, festival, gym class or his case; a swimming pool where everyone is half naked.

Robotic cold approach doesn't work for everyone at every place. But there are plenty of places where women go to and let their guard down.

From that pov it doesn't make sense that a "cold approacher " doesn't even have a long azz list of events and such because lets say 5 hours of approach at a festival might get you more results than 5 hours of approach at the mall. Its like you try to start a fire with wet wood vs using dry tinder .
