Daygamers Draw Shitton of Attention to Themselves in Toronto

I have experience with this as I have done approaches in this exact mall before.
Having said that, that was mostly a long time ago, when I first started doing day approaches. About a year to a year and a half now.
At that time, I think girls were receptive. By that mean the interactions were positive, and I found more girls than I expected were attracted to me. I was mainly approaching to work on my confidence and get used to the idea of a numbers game. Sometimes I went for numbers where the lead wasn't strong and at times failed to get a number when the girl was giving me a day puppy-dog eyed look, so my closing game was weak. I had done maybe a few different days approaching at the Eaton Centre and neighbouring streets, probably around 40 or so total day approaches.
In terms of getting meet ups, I wasn't very successful. Only 2 of these girls I met up for dates. However, I did lose my virginity to one of them and the other I got very close to banging, and I considered that a success at the time, considering that she was a few years older than me and of high financial status.
I have a couple friends in Toronto that do approaches in the area and attend the University there as well. They have noticed this similar trend. Daygame everywhere. I have been through Eaton Centre a couple times recently and I did not spend an hour at the mall without seeing some guy spitting game.
The location is great. Large mall, consistent traffic, people moving in and out, a fantastic location for numbers game.
Problem is, these guys are all social retards. At least the majority. I remember watching one guy approach:
'Excuse me, do you know where the xyz shop is?'
'Oh, it's over in that direction'
'.. actually I know where it is, I just wanted to come and talk to you I think you are cute'
'... oh haha' (sympathetic, not a 'omg this guy likes me')
This game does not work. Unless you have some serious attraction values that put you in the category of 'don't fuck it up game' in general.
The worst is that when girls don't like these guys many of them come to the conclusion of 'yeah she was a bitch, NEXT.'
These guys stand around the fountain and approach everything in sight, directly.
These girls are complaining about being approached by these creepy guys all the time. However, if you pick out a socially calibrated guy, well dressed, fit, who not only has strong game but is most importantly SOCIALLY AWARE, he can make these girls who complain about creepy guys squeal in delight at his approach. I've had this happen, and these were approaches I did when I knew there were hordes of guys approaching in the mall.
I talked to the girl about there being many guys who approach at the mall. She knew about them and told me she has been approached before, with mostly bad experiences. I had a very laid back vibe with her, but the most important aspect was being socially aware. I don't think I took her number for some reason I don't remember but I remember it being a very positive interaction.
Being socially aware in these situations:
- picking the right girl to approach. Look at her body language, her walking speed to see if she would be open
- Is she on her phone or looking around, making eye contact
- when you approach, be a lengthy distance away, don't get up in her face
- direct game only works if you have the true confidence to say what you are saying and the girl is going to be attracted to you. These guys say the most direct lines without genuine confidence and they aren't attractive dudes. I was doing mild direct approaches and I was confident with those and the girls liking me so I had positive reactions mostly.
A large part of this is also your vibe. A guy that is comfortable with himself is more likely to have girls enjoy his presence, where a guy who isn't and has some underlying issues he should work on might be unconsciously be giving a negative vibe that will make the girl feel awkward, nervous, uneasy, or something in between.
Ever since my direct approaching experience in this area however, I have fine tuned my day game. I've read and internalized Bang and Day Bang with success. My day approaches are infinitely stronger and positive. Most of my approaches now (when I do them, I've been lazy recently) are indirect, occasionally mildly direct. If I were to be back in this Toronto situation, I'd be going more indirect for sure. The most important part of it however would be your vibe and your awareness. That girl in the mall might have been approached 5 times that day already and she is sick of getting approached, but if you approach her with a proper vibe and awareness, you can have a positive experience.
These guys that are leaving this bad impression are ruining it for themselves. They are socially retarded (again, mostly) and might only convert a date once every 50-100 approaches. Key word is might.
To be humble here though, I probably was one of those guys at first. Although I definitely wasn't as socially uncalibrated. I was spitting direct approaches in all directions at one point though.
Maybe it's a necessary phase. However, it's important that it remains as a phase, and you grow from it. You develop and reach a greater level. From what I see and I've seen in other guys I have met that have done this (most of them I've let my contact with them die out), most will never reach a higher level. They will never graduate from that pathetic game. They will always be in denial.
They will always think about approaching more. And more. And they won't realize the problem is an inner one, and that's what they have to fix.
It's sad because there is some good in RSD. Some of the material is great and possibly revolutionary in some aspects. But either a lot of guys are taking their message out of context or the message is being delivered in the wrong way, or somewhere in between. My thought's on RSD could warrant a lengthy post on its own, however, I think the problem is mostly in the guys themselves, possibly without a proper model to look up to, besides guys telling them to just approach more.
