Sitting here at Starbucks I've just been witness to a rather incongruous example of game. A couple highly attractive girls looking to be in their early 20s came in, and an obese, shabbily dressed, balding middle eastern guy in his 40s with a nose like Raymond Luxury Yacht immediately approached and worked day game for what had to be a good ten minutes.
I've got to give him credit for approaching, but man there was just no way in hell any amount of game could overcome that kind of a bad starting position. The girls seemed to be too polite to tell him to fuck off, which I suppose is what kept him pressing the conversation despite their expressions, which I would describe as "politely nodding until he goes away". I suppose this goes against the confidence-boosting mantras for noobies telling them to just go for it, but imo there's a certain point where going to the gym is going to be more effective than learning game.
