I thought you were leaving, but just like a female, you're drawn in for more drama. I'll address a few points, and leave it at that. You DID ask a question at the end of your last rant-filled emotional drivel of a post, so I'll get to that.
(1) My post count and rep are irrelevant. I don't give myself rep. People do. And it's not objective either. That particular person believed that at that point in time, whatever I said was resourceful enough to read and gave me props on it. I fail to see how that is the center of any argument. I never claimed to be more knowledgeable than anyone else based on that. My post count is also irrelevant. I average about 5 posts a day (4.76 to be exact). Some are longer, some are one-liners. Some days I post about 9 times, some days, not at all. But of course, since you have so little to go on, you're going to point the finger at the post count.
Yes, I do have a job that allows me to sit at a desk and post. Go look at my post history and you'll be hard pressed to find posts from me that's not 9 to 6 on a week day. What do you know, that gives me most weekends and week nights to do whatever I want to do in my free time.
(2) I've never shied from posting my own FR, whether they be successes and failures. And if you look long and hard, you'll see I have had a Journal from the first half of the year amongst other reports.
Just because I don't have a "girlfriend", it doesn't mean I am not a high value male in my own eyes. In the end, you'll have your own opinion of what a HVM is, but since you did decide to go look up ONE old post (for the sake of conversation) about places to meet new people, I suggest you go look under my name and look up my history, but of course, that might be too hard for you.
(3) Where do I get my dates from? I've done cold approaches in book stores, the mall, and I've done online dating. I don't do night clubs anymore nor college bars because I've worked in those and I've seen what that world could be like. For a brief while I did try online dating, but MEH. My biggest pull in cold approaching has been bars with professionals in them. I have a lot of success on those whether it be me approaching a person or a group or vice versa. I find plenty of people are a little more open to talking to new people in that kind of a setting.
How do you warm up a cold approach?
You build rapport by using comfort but I never lose a sexual edge to myself with a hint of C&F. I can't say that ALL of my cold approaches are successful, of course, I've had failures. But I can't say that I've gone from asking someone their phone number and being rejected to then switching to another medium through which I could contact them when they blatantly have already told me that they wouldn't talk to me in the first place.
And one last point to address this:
What does it matter, you won't see the girl again?
It's not a guarantee that I won't see her again if it's the local bar down the street where I go every Wednesday to have a drink.
Again, if she said "NO" to a phone number, why would I bother asking again? To be persistent? Persistence can be good, and can be bad. When it's sex, we plow through LMR, but when it's just asking a phone number, we should learn how to read the signs that are right in front of us.
If she's not interested enough to give me a phone number, it's more than likely that she's not interested in having sex with me, no matter how "persistent" I might want to be.
