Women can be full of shyt and often times don't see the logical inconsistencies in their arguments when they make them but nonetheless, brehs just have to know better.
Another poster already stated that the way a woman is feeling about herself in the moment you approach will be a large factor in whether or not you're successful.
Take note of that, because it's true in ALL cases.
The mental state of the woman you're trying to talk to dictates whether or not she will be receptive to your advances.
But that's not something you can determine by just looking at a girl, most brehs can't anyway.
Because you could be at the club and try to holla but she really only came for her girlfriends and is in a "fuk all men mood" cause her Baby Daddy recently fukd up.
Or vice versa, she could be on her way to work but has been crushing on you for weeks already wishing you'd approach and say something.
See, since the vast majority of women are content to be passive and don't want to risk rejection by putting themselves out there, they HAVE to rely on dudes picking up on social cues/body language/ and other obscure intangible bullshyt. Now, learning to "read" a situation is an invaluable skill which can be applied outside of simply trying to get some skins, so I advise all brehs to learn it. But better than reading, is the ability to change the chemistry of a given situation. Learning how to CHANGE a girl's frame of mind, instead of simply recognizing it is the true key to universal success.
But if you fail to develop either one of these skills, you're reduced to relying on sheer numbers. Just swinging away and letting the law of averages decide if the girl you're talking to is buying what you're selling. SMH. Improve your technique and all this negative nancy stuff the brehettes are talking in here becomes air.
