So the approach guide as it is written now is so that it minimizes rejection as much as possible. However, from reading Sleazy’s book, I think it can be updated to say that “you can play it less safe as you get more success over time”.
I’ve gotten great success both doing something like this strategy (the sirc-based approach guide) and doing AWAW. I’ve never done Sleazy’s – be physical from the start even with grey-zone chicks thing though. I’m probably gonna do that over the next year just to see what happens. I’m at the confidence level and experience where I could probably try Sleazy’s approach.
If you’re not there yet, try the approach guide. It helps you play it extra safe.
so this term “escalate” that you use is daunting to me as I would walk away if a woman isn’t into me.
