All in all, directness during the daytime requires more work for less.
I disagree. Going direct during the day is not any more work then going indirect. In fact, it might be less work because you don't have to make small talk and ramble about bullshit. You can get right to the point.
As far as results, dates and bangs can come from direct just as easily as they do from indirect.
Gong direct is a good way to screen for girls who are interested in you and filter out girls who don't match your personality.
Once you get over approach anxiety, I think direct can actually be easier then indirect because... well, its, more direct!
Getting to the point is no more diffucult then beating round the bush.
I may have made my post unclear. I didn't mean directness was more
difficult, only that you have to do a lot more approaches before you end up in bed with a girl (at least in my experience).
I aggree that, short term, direct approaches are much easier to pull off, since you don't have to bother thinking of a bullshit exuse to come talk to her.
However, since direct approaches during the day less often result in solid leads than indirect approaches, you have to invest a lot more time and energy approaching women than you would while going indirect. When I'm indirect, most (8/10, 9/10) will result in a number, while about half of those numbers will result in a date, and about a third or a fourth of the girls I date I can generally expect to end up in bed with (roughly speaking, of course! These are just averages). I don't get anywhere near those numbers with directness, however (at least not during the day).
So, short term, yes, directness requires much less work, but in the long run, they require a lot more time and energy for less payoff.
