For those that dont know, there has been a growing 'pick up' community online. The largest group is RSD (Real Social Dynamics). These groups hold international meetings which teach single men how to approach women. A cold approach is where you talk to a random woman on the street or in shops or where they work
Its probably creepy and now with dating apps and messaging apps, women probably have little patience or need to be approached randomly. The problem is that many men are more brazen now, and will start randomly talking to many women in an afternoon. As a result, women are now getting sick of all the unwanted approaches
Of course if you are tall and good looking, then go ahead and chat up women. Women do respond, but more women don't like it

Punting is great. You can ease your bodily needs to the extent you dont need to feel or act desperate. You become more confident and appealing to women as a result
