Dude tried cold approaching for 10 hours in NYC and got REJECTED

[corrector]

This is a black guy who did cold approaches for 10 hours. He only managed to get 5 interactions. Most women (ie I assume when he says people), treated him like he was invisible and didn't even acknowledge his presense. If this is the result from a younger guy would easily amog, then the rest of us are doomed, lol

When you have a full-time job, or other real life obligations where do you find the time to invest 10 hours in cold approaching. But, wow, NYC is that bad. That is supposed to be a target rich environment.

He is saying that if you went to Thialand (surprized it's nice for black guy like him too) or Kenya (ie that's believable because he's in Africa) there would be no problem interacting with women there. For a guy like that who travelled to Thialand to say something that again speaks volumes.

What is your thoughts? Did he just have a bad day in cold approaching? Is it even realistic to cold approach if it is that time-consuming? This lead him to feel depressed and have adverse mental health outcomes. It was not a good exercise.

That's brutal, but women aren't going to talk to you if you just say "wassup" ha ha
I would love to see what these approaches look like in person I don't doubt him in regards to women ignoring him
That's one of the reasons I stopped doing day game especially as a black man in a mostly white state approaching white women unless you look like Trey Songz or are famous you're wasting your time lmfao
.But 10 hours? lmfao If I do daygae now a days it's going to be at an art festival, a street festival, day party etc
I'm not walking around 10 hours, whose got the time and energy?

Most people find it weird if you randomly walk up to them and start trying to talk to them in public for no reason.

New Yorkers in general have a "don't give a fvck" attitude and are fairly short and rude in their interactions while in public especially with people they don't know.

Far more likely to tell someone to "get the fvck outta my face" than to engage with them.

Not sure why this is surprising to anyone who has actually spent any amount of time in NYC.

CA on the streets is difficult.

Most attractive people are already in relationships.

Most people are in their bubble. Trying to get tasks done & in their own thoughts. Someone interrupting them is jarring.

People assume someone approaching is some kind of scammer. Their guards are always up. Especially in big cities.

Add that the guy in the video is a 5/10.

That is funny that you would say that. He is young, has a head full of hair, a good hairstyle, and I'm assuming that he approached all sorts of "people". Even with approach warm-ups you are not going to gun for the hottest girl on the block, you'll try talking to anyone.

The fact he has a youtube channel and is posting videos of himself means that he must be more attractive in his appearance, like a 6.5-7/10 (no homo). For example, I don't have a youtube channel or posts videos about myself, as I realize that takes some sort of confidence to do and put your videos out there like that. You are not going to do that if you think you are 5/10.

But yes, online I'm seeing a trend of more Passport Bros (ie Blacks like him going to other countries to meet women), Blacks hiring the services of a professional cuddler because they can't get hugs, etc.... and you normally think these types of guys have an easy time attracting women, that they have a streets smarts game about them and swag.

If people like him is having struggles with cold approaching and running game on the streets, then that is pretty telling.

Now, I don't know who or where in NYC he was approaching. If he went to some rich area in Manhattan and approached trendy fashioned White women, or if he went into the hood of Queens/Bronx/Brooklyn and approached the sistas, perhaps he would get different results? I know some parts, if you are Black and approach, they think you are trying to thief them and there is a risk the police are called.

Simple. He's ugly and has a mop as a haircut. Clean up that hair, dress like a million bucks and things would be much different.

When I was dating, just pre-pandemic, I had zero issues in NYC. The females contacted and came up to me; and I am nothing that special. It's how you look and how you present yourself.

 

[Plinco]

Approaches ought to be targeted. The less discriminating his approaches are, the more he indicates that he doesn't know who he is.

 

[SW15]

In 2012, Roosh called street approaching the most difficult approach venue.

How To Pick Up Girls On The Street

Pure street game is very difficult. New York City is one of the few cities in the USA where street game is possible. In most larger US cities, street game isn't very viable. Most US cities will have better outdoor game options on paths/in parks.

I don't think his game was on point but approaching strangers outdoors in nearly any venue is difficult.

He tried game on hard mode likely before having the skill set to do game on hard mode.

 

[BeExcellent]

I was gonna say myself that if he was out approaching dressed in a hoodie looking like a sacker at a grocery store he's not gonna get traction.

You gotta dress with some style for starters. High school sophomore disgruntled teenager look doesn't cut it in the real world of adulting.

Race doesnt matter the way presentation does. His presentation is lazy/sloppy. Think of the women who dress like slobs & get too heavy & go around saying men should not care what they look like.

Same is true here in a similar way.

I'm shocked he had such bad luck. The media portrays black men as sex symbols (as a result, a lot of broads are eager to get some black sausage)

In your case, there's at least an explanation for your struggles: You're aging, you're preoccupied with being a caretaker, you're balding and obese (none of these are meant as insults; all I'm doing is repeating the words you've used to describe yourself)

Also, I think I recall you said your appearance is ethnically ambiguous, as a result of being mixed race (and you could pass for Middle Eastern)

On the other hand, he's a clearly black young man in decent shape.

 

[taiyuu_otoko]

Lots of missing information.

What was his attitude?

Did he get depressed after the first rejection and carry that through the rest?

Was he secretly intending to make a video about getting rejected for 10 hours?

Was he subconsciously trying to validate some limiting belief so he can blame the world instead of his social skills?

Was he actively learning from every interaction or just robotically approaching using the same poor method each time?

Was he desperately trying to prove to the internet that it's not his fault he can't get any?

 

[Bokanovsky]

Well duh. What he's doing is about as effective as a preacher going to a porn convention in Vegas to proselytize.

If you live in NYC or any big city for that matter, you know that when a random person approaches you on the street, 99% of the time they are either asking for money or trying to scam you in some way. It's a complete waste of time.

The guy is a 3-4/10, not a 5.

Black men have sex appeal but not when they look and dress like teenagers that play video games.

That is correct on the way you described me. However, I wanted to add a more recent experience. A female co-worker recently mis-identified me as being from the Middle East. She was shocked to learn I was Half-Italian (give away with my name), and Half-Black (had to explain my mother was Black and from Trinidad (ie same country as hers). Other women have commented skin complexion looks too much like my Dad (who is White). This means, unless I volunteer information about my racial background, it's not likely most people will guess I"m Black, at least at first glance.

You also have similar insecurities in your writings since you are not Nordic White, but because of the southern European mixture, you claim that made you a target in the past. As of lately, none of my insecurities concerning women because of my race exists. Last decade (ie in the late 2010s) I felt more sensitive about my race as I saw allot of AFWM couples around, as well as other Ethnic ladies and White men. However, since working at the full-time job, I don't feel this way anymore since the Blacks working there seem to have an easy time with the ladies. Now, I can look at everything else, lol

That being said, if he had a difficult time, and he could amog me at work, then definitely cold-approaching is out with me, lol

A message to the guys knocking his looks and to mention about the Purple Elephant in the Room statement. He visited a couple of countries like Thialand and Kenya and had a different response from the ladies there.

Who cares?

 

[CornbreadFed]

Based off this guy's Youtube channel, I am not shocked so many women turned him down. Maybe he should stick to the prostitutes in Kenya or Thailand and call it a night.

 

[BPH]

This video is a nothingburger.

The guy just sits here for 10 minutes complaining, without showing how any of the approaches actually went. This guy just (allegedly) performed this experiment to reinforce his confirmation bias about how awful the US is, compared to Nairobi, Kenya at least.

It's a typical doomer/black pill video with nothing insightful or constructive presented

 

[Bingo-Player]

He has a passive and defeated demeanour so likely half the approaches wouldn't have even acknowledged him

You need a REASON and PURPOSE to stop and talk to anyone

Just shuffling around with your hands in your pockets trying to start half assed conversations isn't going to cut it unless the other party is desperate to talk too

This is really 101 basic type stuff

Fail to prepare / prepare to fail

 

[New_Journey]

He's compalining for something that is well known. Majority of women don't have anything interesting going on for them, they spend their time, working, netflix, social media and dating, that's a very boring life. Also, that guy seems a desperate, women can smell that $hit from miles away.
