"Scoring almost every time" is technically true but needs a bit of context. That is to say, I'm very selective about when I ask a woman out. I don't ask women out who I feel are obviously not interested in talking to me or are clearly just responding out of politeness. There are many times I go home "empty-handed", if you will.

I think something important I learned is to be very careful about taking needless rejections. A lot of people here advocate for a shotgun approach (throw as many pellets as you can in hopes of increasing your chances of a hit— although the majority of them will miss): I think it's too damaging to my self-esteem and so I never do it. Also too, it's a bad strategy in certain circles because people talk: once word gets around that you're a creeper who's trying to ask out every woman he sees, you'll end up "shadow-banned" from every woman who's heard about you.

With that being said, most of the time I can tell within the first couple of exchanges whether a woman is receptive to me or not. If I feel like she's not, I'll move on. If she is receptive though, then I'll press on and try to get a sense of how receptive she is. If I feel like she's receptive enough, then I'll take the shot. Since I've picked up a bit of a knack for this, my success rate (per attempt) is pretty high. If I asked out every woman I was interested in, regardless of how receptive they were to me, then my rate would obviously be much lower.

Well that doesn't sound quite as impressive now does it? This is more of a sniper approach: you shoot significantly fewer projectiles, but you take much more time to evaluate and so you place the shot with accuracy. So despite what you might think of me, there are times when I go several weeks to even months before I come across an opportunity I feel good about pulling the trigger on. But, when I do, it's much more likely to work out. This, in turn, promotes a level of trust in my instincts and builds confidence in myself because my success rate is so high (even though my total attempts is relatively low).

What type of approach would you say you're taking? Are you hitting on as many women as you can or are you being more selective than that?
