I got my 2nd to last date (in 2018) from being approached. Overall, I don't get approached a whole lot (the fact I had to dig back 7 years to use an example)Genetics might not have done you any favors. Your diet and exercise regimen are under your control and likely could be improved. Avoid anything with soy in it and avoid processed ingredients. I do my best to follow those diet rules. Carbohydrates are less good too.
Being approached is cool. Few men ever get to that point. Men in the 8-8.9 range might get a few approaches and the 9+ range would get more.
Men in the 8+ range are still approaching and still most likely to send the first message on Tinder/Bumble/Hinge.
The 8+ range is when men get more and get stronger IOIs (approach invitations). Getting approach invitations helps a lot.
The best way for white collar office workers to use the workplace to meet women is through the friend networks of their female co-workers. Simple conversations about life can help determine if a female co-worker is going to be useful for introductions. Most female co-workers won't be and there are a variety of reasons for that.
I have gotten dates from approaching strangers in the lobbies/parking structures of office buildings where I have worked.
Chest waxing isn't the most masculine thing to do.
I like to think of myself as somewhere in the 6 range. The unfortunate part is: Even if I were an 8, I'm not sure my luck with the ladies would be a whole lot different.
As you mentioned, the 8 range is where a man begins to get more and more approach invitations. Approach invitations still require the man to make the move (therefore making approach invitations meaningless for me)
My phobia of misreading an IOI (and then being humiliated every time I run into the woman from that point on, as she's going to think of me as "the guy who imagined interest where none existed") would ultimately stop me from acting on any approach invitations from a woman I'm going to run into again.
On the topic of getting introductions to the female friends of female coworkers, I get the impression the typical female coworker of mine, even if she likes me platonically, doesn't think I'm worthy of getting introduced to her female friends in a romantic context.
Chest waxing? Chest waxing is popular with bodybuilders and football players. Bodybuilders and football players are the epitome of masculine.
