Interesting read Skills good thread, even if I may not agree with everything you wrote.
I suspect girls requiring more comfort (by the way Skjoldr stealing your Tea and Consent YT video idea for my next date) may also derive from the mainstreaming of ideas about toxic masculinity. Hence, a guy has to contrast himself with that. Still, to my knowledge, Dev was putting slut shaming tech to great use last year.
Looking at my last couple of years, I haven't been getting great results since I stopped guiding.
pre-corona: 2019 (10 girls), corona / no more guiding: 2020 (3 girls), 2021 (4 girls), post-corona: 2022 (6 girls), 2023 (5 girls). Still, in my most promiscuous years I was doing 2014 (16 girls), 2015 (16 girls), and 2017 (15 girls), which in itself isn't much more than 1 girl per month.
As a guide, it was much less effort, and abundance was sort of built into it since there was twat almost every time I went to work, especially during the warm months, which was most of the year, and even if they didn't all put out, taking them out for a drink was fun.
The lesson for me is that for cold approach to reap rewards by itself, it has to be done very often, especially so for day game-only gamers such as myself. I'm also past the age where you can use Tinder or other such apps to procure hot young girls due to the age restriction features.
The only time I tried Tinder, in 2020, I got shadow-banned right from the start, getting presented with girls that I wouldn't even notice IRL. The algo considered me a 5, so I uninstalled the app, after spending 20 bucks on the special features to see more unattractive girls who had swiped me right or left or whatever.
Social circle game is not a consistent source of snatch. Anonymity is preferable. You can also shoot for younger baes with cold approach than you might have access to in SCs.
