I don't know if you're replying to a specific post. I can only speak from personal experience and those of friends, when we say run clubs are now all but dating apps, we're talking about going to a meet, grabbing the number(s) and/or agreeing to a date after said meet.

Not general "you will meet people, and if you stay consistent and if you socialize with people then gradually" stuff that applies to almost everywhere in life

exactly why i don't consider it a "cold approach". you are expected to meet people there
maybe yall went off topic, im not following the convo super closely lol

Run Clubs weren't presented as an example of "cold approach". A poster suggested that women that go to the gym are more open/bold/confident when it comes to approaching men, and I used that as I segue to say I see how that makes sense, and how it could explain Run Clubs exploding in popularity and becoming the defacto dating apps in the last 18 months - people that are fit/into fitness are likely more confident in these matters

In my estimation, many a young maiden will see a well put together squire and wrestle with the internal desire to follow their curiosity only to be set upon by societal judgment. Society has long put the burden on our masculine members to bare the brunt of establishing a meeting ground for our natural inclination. I say that time waits for no one. I call upon all the members of the fair sex,may they be pristine or harlot to lay waste to your shame and fear. Enter the fray and choose upon noble knights.

oh ok. i would think it's more of a social aspect. you can probably see hella people smashing at the gamer club or even more people smashing from the bar, which is the opposite of fitness lol. clubs are social activities. a lot people probably socialize in effort to meet a date.

Black woman have always gotten the halle berry who dat nikka is on.
Most of the couples that are successful are from black woman moving on a nikka.
Yet you as a black man can not rely on that ever being a possibility.
Sohh you have to approach and make a move.

I need to smile more when out and about..

Some women have told me after finally meeting me in person they wanted me before but were afraid of me because I had a frown on my supposedly handsome face and naturally built physique that I appeared unapproachable..only after finally sitting down and getting to know me they just realized I'm just quiet and not necessarily mean or bad..one told me she thought all along I run coke and was afraid of me.
Think of all the cake I didn't cut because women thought I was too good looking or some bad guy :why:

Only fat and ugly women directly approach men.

Show us what these women look like with actual receipts or else this is just more :duck:

Attractive women don’t need to approach men because men literally started throwing themselves at them once they hit 18.
This. On rare occasions, the cute girl approaches because she's actually charismatic, but charisma is usually reserved for busted women:mjlol:.

For OP to get approached by 3 good-looking women in a row is nuts. Either his standards are low, or we're sharing a forum with an actual 6-6-6, Tupac in a Business Suit breh:dead:.

My aunt was trying to put me on to that, my cousins met women from them but I don't be running like that, I use jump rope for cardio and lift at home, I seen some of the women at the marathon events and hit the:whoo::whoo:

I'm already walking miles everyday at work and lifting parts of machinery so the last thing im thinking about is running for real.

It's legit, I've seen/heard too many good stories from people I've spoken with and random YouTubers. Running clubs fix the majority of people's issues in the dating market with one event.

It's a Third place to meet people.

Can't put on airs if you cannot walk/jog a mile or two.

Out of shape women won't do it for long.

The Endorphins will help calm everyone's nerves down.

You get a workout and you're outside, so even if you don't leave with a number it's still a net positive.

It's on my todo list, I gotta get into shape my damn self :russ:

I think the women who go to the gym are more bold than women who don't, when it comes to approaching men.
Yeah, it’s crazy. They’re getting way more bold at the gym. They weren’t shooting their shot this aggressively when I was single though. :beli:

Thats actually how it is supposed to go. The women demonstrates interest or at least receptiveness and the man proceeds. If a woman is interested she will let you know. True enough you got plenty of professionals and time wasters out here too so you really gotta be on your shyt.

For clarification - as it may not have been clear by my wording - it wasn’t three in a row. There was a gap between when the first one approached me and the second one - the third was the morning after the second one did though.

Secondly, I didn’t respond when the first girl texted me. I got distracted by work. I don’t have a means by which to access pictures of her. I am currently talking to the second girl. The Ukrainian girl is yet to get in contact. I don't have pictures of the first nor of the ukrainian girl, but I do have of the one I'm currently talking to. I tried cropping as many distinctive details as I could:

edit - I removed the picture I had posted here. I will not be taking chances. If you saw it, you saw it.

I've been on sohh/coli long enough to know how posting pictures of women in these IRL type of threads plays out, so I'm politely not going to post any more than that. I guess I just decided to get up and type up a thread of an elaborate ducktaling scenario that doesn't amount to much besides being cold approached by three attractive women (none of which I've slept with thus far) in a short span of time, for no reason - and despite not having a history of doing either "dear diary" nor "ducktale story" type of threads :yeshrug:

In terms of being tupac in a business suit. I don't know, I've been described as handsome my whole life and women is the facet of my life where I've always strived. I've always had a lot of girls, even at my brokest (not being weird and being in shape helps). I also did bust my guns when I was younger but I describe myself as a square these days and have for a long time - and I currently work for a comms/tech company (my post history can corroborate), so I guess I might be tupac in a business suit :skip: although I'm not rich nor wealthy, I still live check to check.

I'm 6'0, 176lbs lean muscle - I'm really into fitness, and I often post here trying to convince both brehs and brehettes to get into it - but I'm also never going to post a picture of me here, so nikkas just gonna have to extrapolate what I look like from that "create a pixelated version of yourself using AI" thread.

I don't know, I didn't think this would be an outrageous thread nor story to the point I'd be called a liar - especially when I don't even have a history of these type of posts. It's not like I got up here and said I had a foursome with them or some shyt. If I was going to lie; it certainly would be more creative than "aye man, women usually approach me in social settings but for the past couple of weeks they cold approached me and grabbed my number as I left the gym, cool - I hope this is a trend. maybe they've had enough of dating apps" :beli:
