Well in that case I've been "rejected" before. Someone like yourself would've given up and I ended up sleeping with that girl. I'm speaking from experience, and it sounds like you do not understand or have not experienced the power of persistence. I don't take a woman's first response at face value and neither should anyone else. If you want to give up easily, that's your choice but I do not feel that is a good habit to teach guys especially ones learning. Persistence, enduring tests and developing a thick skin is a MUCH more effective skill when it comes to cold-approach pickup. I'm actually surprised that some people here don't seem to get it.
If you are not being challenged during pick-ups then you are not aiming high enough (or you are just ridiculously good-looking).
Lol....If you think that persistence is such a powerful thing that if I walk away from a rejection, and you didnt and would end up sleeping with the chick due to your persistence, you're the one sounding inexperienced. Come on, you have to admit that this 4 strike rule has a low chance of working. No one is arguing that a chick could change her mind, we're arguing whether it is worth it. You keep avoiding saying how likely it is a girl changes her mind. Say so. Tell the guys the truth...its not likely but it happens. Something having a degree of success doesnt make it EFFICIENT.
If you approach each chick you like 4 times, you're being inefficient. And if you think you'll lay a chick after the 4th approach finally gives a good opening, you're either inexperienced or selling snake oil. My issue is, why approach 4 times for a good opening, when opening itself doesnt matter. As in, whether you fuck her or not, depends more so on logistics. There are so many variables to manage in dating/seduction...to reapproach for a good OPENING, is wasting time. I'd rather be challenged and "enduring" through later phases, ie logistics, LMR than a silly opening. You're telling guys to try to start a car 4 times, when they should learn to deal with driving the car. The car finally starts after 4 tries, which lets be honest, you cant say that this rule is even likely to get the "car" to start. But lets say it starts after 4 tries...now you gotta worry about how it drives. Why not find a car that starts ok, and focus on what's important....driving it.
Be honest, say the likelihood of this 4 strike rule finally getting a good opening. For every "rejection", roughly what % would come around? Could that time have been spent on approaching other chicks? For this to be a better alternative than a seperate approach, you'd have to be saying that a guy has a higher close rate for his "rejections" than his warm/cold approaches. Which is not true for anyone. If it is as you say simply not enough chicks in the venue so you gotta try harder, fine...then say that clearly, instead of preaching this rule. What you miss is that this persistance thing is no new concept. Everyone knows it. Just most understand the simple truth that you're time would be better spent on a new approach, than reengaging a bad one. If there are no other chicks around, sure do 10 approaches on the same chick. Knock yourself out. If there are other chicks, approach them instead. If you know noobs, you'll know they waste time on dead ends, time wasters and flakes. Why advise them to get caught in the BEGINNING fighting an uphill battle. I'd tell a guy to be persistent when she's on a date, when she's in bed. Not at the bar, when a good opening or not, means very little.
