It does take guts. Approaching women in real life is a lifestyle that requires training and dedication. Over the course of my life, I've read game/pickup books and websites. I also eat a diet of no processed ingredients and no soy ingredients to maximize testosterone. I do not watch porn or masturbate so as to be aggressive for in-person approaching. Cutting porn and mbate out of my life was one of the most difficult things that I ever did. It is very challenging to maintain. I also do my best to maintain an exercise routine. Prior to the pandemic, I was a regular weight lifter at the gym. I'm only doing body weight workouts on YouTube now.
When you implement all of these lifestyle practices, you are ready to go. You're confident in yourself and you're aggressive enough that you're not worried about your social limitations. You just want to meet and escalate with a woman. Today I stopped a woman running on a street because she gave me decent body language. It is supremely difficult to approach women during the day while sober, which is why most guys are app swipers. If they weren't app swipers, they were lounge lizards who needed alcohol in their systems to do approaches in the bars at night. When I meet women at the grocery store, the gym, or anywhere in public that isn't a bar, I'm ready to talk. Often times, my suggestion if a conversation goes well has been to meet for a drink at a certain bar. COVID has certain changed a lot of that. I'm mainly doing outdoor approaches now and dates have to either be outdoors or in the private location of my apartment.
