In my experience it has been very effective although so far its a small sample size. I mainly do daygame or social circle and on uni/college girls.
What I found interesting was that so many girls just couldnt resist "mansplaining" (for lack of a better word, inaccurate but describes what I mean well) to me things.
Like for example how scientifically grapefruit worked. She was talking about how you can use it as a weapon against someone you dislike on birth control; it nullifies the hormones yada yada. Later on she talked about how her infertile friend had her ovaries stuck or something and was getting surgery so she can have children. I joked that you should give her grapefruit to increase the chances.
I dont know for sure but had I looked/acted "smart" she should realise it was obviously a joke. But she laughed and was engaged in how funny I was mistaken- it just affects the birth control hormones, its not like a magic pregnancy pill! (I rolled with it.)
She was also eager to explain("mansplain") to me how some animals are factory farmed, how farming works, what she did in her major etc.
Also- since my social skills arent up to par yet, often there are real awkward silences in conversations(happened throughout my life). With the dumb look/act, this is barely a problem at all. I just make sure to have strong body language, and just say nothing. Often times she will say nothing too, it still is a bit awkward but I dont think it looked badly on me as its "congruent" that obviously not being smart, why would I keep coming up with conversation.
