Because it isn't BS. You had the experience you had and maybe you are just not cut out for cold approach, fine, whatever. Social circles in most cases, barring some luck (your situation), are an awful way to get laid with a lot of different women. Both me and
@Jake_Gyllenhaal69 have experienced both sides of the coin so we can speak on both sides.
Not sure where you pulled the whole getting arrested for cold approaching nonsense. If you do it with some social intelligence, you should be good to go. Just because you lack the social calibration, guts, grit, and boldness to do cold approach doesn't mean it is not for everyone. You just lucked out with a social circle, it's not a repeatable process that most guys can follow, it is solely based on pure luck and falling into the right circumstance at the right time.
