Plinco's cold approach journal

[Plinco]

Went shopping today, and did not see any good-looking young women. I saw one girl, 7/10-ish. I was busy looking at some Christmas cards and before I could walk up to her, she disappeared.

The approach went something like this:

I was walking toward the men's clothing section and passed by the women's clothing area and noticed two girls. One of them peeled off a store logo sticker and put it on the back of her phone case. I smiled and asked her what was it. She showed me the sticker and smiled.

Me: (smiles) "Really?!"

Her friend then peels her off to the next section. "Come on let's go"

"Yeah I like taking these stickers. I have a whole bunch of them (on her phone case). See"

Me: "So you're like a hermit crab putting things on your shell"

Her: (looks confused) "What?"

Her friend then peels her off from the conversation. At this point I let it go. I'm pretty sure she's underage anyway. She was probably 16/17, wouldn't know for sure without asking.

That's an example of an approach conversation that fizzles out quickly. This is a conversation that lasted no more than 30 seconds.

This is a common interaction in non-bar approaching.

I thought that was a good line haha.
But the really young ones don't tend to appreciate it. In fact, she probably has no idea what you were talking about lol

She was probably 16/17

It's a shame that the young ones are so freaking hot!!
They tend to really only respond too a really good looking guy who is somewhere around her age (unless you get extremely lucky like I have a few times). 16 is legal here and we don't have any age gap laws for what it's worth

This is a common interaction in non-bar approaching.

Yep. And even in-bar approaching, especially if you live in a place where talking to strangers is still considered somewhat weird. US people are lucky in that regard. It's very different from the UK for example. (I love visiting the US! I know my accent helps, but it's not just that! It's just the social culture is a bit different). Me and my wings have a tonne of 'fizzling out' sets in bars! Simply because you can only talk too a brick wall for so long. It is what it is. They only tend to put any effort in if a/they are an unusually social person, b/they think you're hot. You kind of need both though! That's why you gotta put in some serious numbers on nights out. I used to approach like 50 18 year old girls per night and sometimes my old ass would get a really hot one back! Gotta eat some serious rejection, though!

Dude you have balls of steel. I can't imagine myself walking to a woman in public.

I do this regularly. Most people did this regularly in the 20th Century and into the 2000s.

The rise of online dating in the last 15-20 years changed this.

I'm scared of making the women feel uncomfortable by doing this because I kinda look intimidating. I also don't hold eye contact because of that reason.

How are your approaches working out in general?

You're just having a conversation with a stranger. Like everything else, it takes practice. What kind of situations do you think you can do to practice doing that?

Are you joking? This would be an asset and a turn on.

Women are into 6'0"+ men who are fit/muscular.

Women are into bouncers, criminals, and other so-called intimidating looking men.

How are your approaches working out in general?

Approaching strangers in general is a lower percentage play for most men.

It's better to do for 6'0"+ fit/muscular men. However, some of these men don't need to approach because they can get more abundance on swipe apps as compared to approaching in real life.
