If you put in a lot of indirect effort by maxing out your looks and building a good lifestyle, I think less effort should go into the interaction itself. From my experience, it is easy for a guy to not put in much effort if he has options. When I had my best years in the game, I was not putting in a lot of effort to meet women and get laid, it just naturally came to me.
The irony is when I did put in the effort by working on fundamentals and trying to learn things about the game, that is also when I struggled the most. I genuinely feel like if she is not interested in the first few seconds, it is a waste of time.
My opinion is that men would be better served putting in the effort to build an awesome life, look their best and have a lot going for them socially to where less effort is required to get laid.
