This comes off as scripted.

But if it's not, his opener is awful: "I know it's a little random but I found you attractive and I wanted to come say hi to you."

When you make an approach an out-and-out obvious "approach," you set yourself up to fail because you make what should be implicit explicit. You know how we complain that feminist college types want every "escalation" to have verbal consent? And how that sucks the mystery and romance out of things? That's what this approach does.

Try having a conversation or asking for a favor and letting it build from there. In all seriousness, "I feel sick -- do you have any Alka-Seltzer?" would have honestly been a better opener.

this is the guy from GoodLookingLoser.com (not just a pickup site by any means!). He's done quite a few videos on this approach and it actually seems to work pretty well for him, as he's a good-looking guy and pretty built.

He just approaches women randomly, tells them he thought they were cute, and after some meaningless convo asks them to on a "spontaneous" date with him later that night. A lot of them take him up on it. Those that don't often make another plan for later. If they deny, he's not too concerned about it and politely excuses himself. Great time-saver.

He's just going direct. Direct is a great way to go if you have an attractive appearance, and it cuts out a lot of the bullshit. Unattractive guys should avoid it for sure.

Honestly, while he's an intelligent guy judging by his writing, he often does come across as one-dimensional and lethargic in his videos (at least the ones I've seen). But the confidence pulls him through. It doesn't seem to hurt his game too much, but I've always sensed that gaming women with a lot of banter is probably not the best way for a personality like him to take things.

Play to your strengths.
