Yes. I couldn't agree more. Spent 2-3 frustrating years on Tinder without much success. At the start of the pandemic, I was done with being alone in my apartment and decided to try to approach women on the street. My takeaways:
1. Heart rate goes over 130 (according to the Garmin smartwatch)
2. It's **much** more fun to be rejected. Instead of being ignored, you get cool stories like me asking "Hey, you look nice. Would you like to chat?" and getting as response "Uhm... No, I'll continue walking".
3. Get inspiration/courage from watching lots and lots of YouTube videos from people who do nice approaches. I personally liked ThatWasEpic a lot. See for example https://youtu.be/cj9tvIFcUeU https://youtu.be/cj9tvIFcUeU.
4. It's much more effective in my case. I'm with my girlfriend for 2 years now and she was the 6th person that I approached... I'm not kidding. After years of Tinder.
So, delete dating apps and go out and talk to people.

I personally liked ThatWasEpic a lot. See for example https://youtu.be/cj9tvIFcUeU https://youtu.be/cj9tvIFcUeU. This is just weird, though.

- haunter 4y ago>decided to try to approach women on the street Yeah no. Creepiest advice in the whole thread. idk where you live but this is the easiest way to get cop called on.
- orangepurple 4y agoAnd if the cops show up then what? I couldn't get them to show up for a blatant hit and run in Texas or assault in Washington D.C. If you are lucky enough for a cop to show up do you think a man will stick around waiting for them to show up? Do you think cops will pursue in these instances? Have you ever called the police? Do you know what the response time is for the type of report you are filing? Even in the most wealthy countries in the world the police won't take you seriously if you tell them "this man is talking to me, creeping me out, and scaring me"
- hbn 4y agoI don't know where you live but in my country it's not illegal to talk to strangers. If you follow her around, especially after being asked to leave her alone, then we're getting into harassment territory. But if she calls the cops because you talked to her, she's 100x more crazy than you are creepy.
