So I know the course and whole system recommends building a social circle thru IG - by showing preselection, status, competence etc. But my question is - I know a lot of guys who get hot girls and they don’t have social media or use it that much. So is it fine to still have social media but instead of doing those invite DMs - you build female teammates and invite them irl through real life places eg run clubs, sports clubs, dance clubs etc. Like I can make female friends at a run club for example, add them on IG, then invite them and their friends out? From my experience it seems like meeting girls irl is the most efficient option. Eg Dating apps - low interest, but high quantity. Mostly match w low-mid quality Irl approaches at clubs - low-mid interest. Mid-high quality. Run clubs, dance classes, run clubs & other forms of regular social events - mid interest. Mid-high quality Now I’m still in process of updating my IG and getting new photos so I can’t say whether this method will work better or not, but just noticed these patterns. But most dudes I know who get hot girls mainly do it through social circles even without strong IG. I landed a few dates from these irl regular social events at the time with an extremely weak IG although it is in relation to what Michael is talking about eg pre selection because a lot of these girls would see me with other girls at these events. To me - seems easier just meeting these hot girls in real life vs IG, just have to find where they go regularly. Then when they add on IG they can see all the pre selection etc. and stuff done on the back end vs networking with people to find events to host. Has anyone tried this?

Do I have to post reels if my main goal is just to date hot girls?

Where exactly do you meet female friends? I currently go to run clubs, and a few other events and have made some female friends. But would it count if I try making female friends at a club? Whenever I try to approach at a club it doesn’t really go well lol Also when it comes to inviting them to events - how do you get access to exclusive events or events in general?

Just been doing outreach on Bumble and in real life. My lead magnet is offering a meal at the place where I work. Money is tight and especially online I want to make sure the girl is real and not psycho. With Bumble one girl got pissy about splitting the bill....I'm not dating lmao. But does this make me look bad/cheap? If I meet a girl IRL I need to enhance my IG and then exchange socials, I frankly don't like using bumble and don't want to pay the premium add ons. In real life it's been a split of girls think I'm asking them out on a date. A couple others have been down. I'm putting myself out there. I'm not 100% relying on cold approach to get dates. Would rather get warm leads and then close them. PS I do have a couple warm leads where I work. I don't want to stick with one girl for the rest of my life ideally. PPS I'm kind of talking outloud. I think I know what I need to do next if I want to start dating more girls and eventually hotter ones.

So the plan is to make female friends then use the pre selection to attract more women, and invite them out to events. But would it be bad to just directly invite them out? Like for drinks, then invite back to your place? I know Michael said to friend zone them but I don’t quite get the psychology behind that, like wouldn’t it mean that they don’t think you’re interested?
