I have noticed that in the social circle game community, a lot of guys try to bash and gaslight cold approachers and say nonsense like "oh you will never get her through cold approach bro". However, after having observed the game for years, I have seen so many cases where a guy with a big social circle has girls that sort of use him and then some random guy comes along, cold approaches her, and ends up closing her.
It's like guys who try to work on social media and social circle game, there is a subset of them that are too scared to cold approach and just use social media game as an escape for it.
