    When she said she was old enough to be your mother and you said that's why you came over and you liked it... Even if you didn't hear from her, she definitely banked that one!

      I actually feel sorry for so many men who have been brainwashed by the braindead.
      All of this internet nonsense has polluted the minds of men into thinking they need to masquerade as these emotionally detached robots just so they can receive love from the feminine.
      Forget all this BS.
      Do what you do because it pleases you to do so.
      Delight in the feminine.
      Make women feel beautiful.
      Compliment them because it makes you feel f*cking great to do so.
      Eternity is a long time & we are too long dead to be sleepwalking our way through life.
      And ffs, stop following these ‘hyper-masculine’ red pill clowns who show no evidence of them in the field actually practicing what they preach.
      You got this bro 👊🏻

    She enjoyed the compliments but that doesn't mean she trusted you enough to go further. I've lived in the Netherlands before and they're as direct as that woman was. She said "I'm not going to give you my number" in a direct but not impolite way. She was respectful. In South America, women WILL give you their WhatsApp number right away, only to block you when you message her afterward. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I've played this game many times and I know it really takes a lot of tries before you succeed. We lose nothing by trying. And I do try all the time.

      Everything in life is a numbers game. As they say if at first you don't succeed try, try again. Eventually the numbers work and the more you practise the lower the failures get compared to the successes. It applies to every aspect of life you do not have 100% control over yourself.

    Oh man I wanna cold approach more consistently like you do and really develop myself. Problem is I got an 8-5 job (I'm from the Philippines and many jobs here absolutely kill your time). Someday I'll earn enough money and start a small business on my own and make sure I get enough time to work on my dating life. I'm rarely able to approach but hell, I'm not giving up.

    • @KristianKasanova
      @KristianKasanova  2 місяці тому +8

      I get that bro. Just to be clear, I was working 3 jobs for the first 2 years of starting cold approach. I was working 9-5 (more like 6-6 with commute) I was doing magic gigs & also building this business whilst also coaching, filming, editing & learning how to actually build a scalable business. Point being, you can do it. I did - it just takes a burning desire & an ungodly amount of relentless dedication. You got this 👊🏻

    I have this weird issue where when I make eye contact with the girl, it makes it harder to cold approach. Like I know it’s dumb but for some reason I find it easier to approach girls if we don’t make eye contact beforehand. It happened earlier today and I bailed and thought about how she probably found me to be decent looking since there was a lot of eye contact. Is it crazy to think that ? Also any ideas on why making eye contact before makes it more difficult for me to approach after?

    Well done. BUT. For the next one try approaching a woman from 18-25 years. Also maybe wear clothes that the average "Joe Lunchbox" from where ever. I'm in no doubt ur success rate may be a level u personally would maybe find rather iinteresting. Of course, ur ego to could be in denial but for the "Milkshake" theory to be measured correctly it needs to be from obviously a different person than obviously, u to gauge it from all kinds of scenarios.
