I stick to my strength which is dating apps
Got friends who do best with Instagram (they're on it all the time and always posting memes, which get lots of feedback and posting when they go out which also gets feedback from chics).
Im more of a homebody but I COOK on dating apps

4-5 messages, I get the number and set the tone for a date at the same time. "hey we should get a drink sometime, what's your number?"
The older dudes oknow still stick to cold approach. Honestly it goes bad way more often than it goes well(partly because they're approaching women 10 years their Junior) but in that game once you score you're not really focused on all the losses you had leading up to it.
It ends up looking Sort of like this....
I went on a date with a baddie from hinge that said she would feel wierded out by cold approaches. So there's that. Like what was said above it really only works if you're way out of her league
