You ain't the only one. Always tamper with the water heater settings when I've moved into a new place.
Maybe cold approach was something that worked in the 90s or the 00s, but if you try and cold approach anyone today it's going to be approached with suspicion, at best.
Mehh. I talk to half a dozen strangers daily that I do not have to interact with and no one's body language screams suspicious.
I will agree society as a whole has lost a good portion of their abilities when it comes to interacting in person thanks to everyones social media presence.
Location/culture matters too. Out on the West Coast the same behaviors got me silence and eye avoidance 50% of the time. Midwest, everyone throws me at least a one line reply. Even in the larger métropolitains like Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit.
I don't have PUA background but I see more of difference from 6 to 7 or 8 to 9 than 7 to 8.
7 ans 8 are the attractive side of normal and the normal side of attractive.
I spent most of my life hovering around 6.5 and had plenty of IoIs just by basically sitting there "looking mysterious."
Man, my favorite is still PON take that the scale should be 1-30.
His main argument was a majority of men tend to over-rate women Plus it allows for more variety and some over lap.
A 7 doesn't necessarily become a 21 because his categories were untouchable 1-9, normal women 11-19, and super model/celebrity hot. That 7 would likely be a 16-18 when you look at the entire scope of women.
My biggest life experience that really opened my eyes to this concept was moving from a college town of 120k to LA.
The 8s around here would barely pass as 6s out there. Even in Portland and Seattle vs a Midwest university town with fresh batches of 18yos ever August, there was just that many more, physically more attractive women.
At the end of the day any scale is just an arbitrary tool for guy talk. All that really matters is do you find her attractive enough or not: binary.
Read MoreI was trying to come up with an accurate estimate for how many women would qualify and it's gotta be less than 15%.
I know plenty of ugly girls with enjoyable personalities.
I know plenty of hot women with terrible personality traits.
I really don't know, too many, above average looking broads with a personality that is tolerable for long periods of time.
