Why is the opener '' are you from x apartment complex'?
The main reason you will have trouble with this is that you're skipping a bunch of the steps and not really displaying any value nor really building any comfort.
From the girls perspective, you've approached her with some questions and then asked her for wechat.
Where is the part thats generating attraction or giving her a reason to see you again?
Your notes at the end of the quoted section aren't incorrect but they are insufficient because you're repeating the theory behind the moves, not the experience of the girl.
You should really increase the numbers of girls you're approaching, modify how you're approaching them and you should be REVIEWING your results properly.
I.e writing field reports - as they help you identify the necessary changes to progress quickly.
Also you should meet girls in more than just one environment.
It's great that you've improved your ability to approach, as for improving the end results you really really really need to be putting your experiences down on the forum and getting feedback, also taking part in the groups a lot more would be helpful.
Also I don't know what you've been messaging or doing with the 20 wechat contacts you've gotten, if you've only contacted them once etc etc.
So posting screen shots of your convo with them or at least sharing what their responses have been and what you've been sending is paramount to improving the situation.
Jeffrey has been out actively in field practising for a long time and did his bootcamp quite a while ago, I've got had a lot of infield experience, so don't expect yourself to garner the same results, just look for the bits and pieces you can use to improve your Game, going out with more experienced people is great and you should keep it up.
The age thing - nah, for some girls it may be a thing but for most it isn't, it's different from back home.
I'm 33.
The girls 'not wanting' a day 2 isn't going to be about you as a person, it's going to be about their experience with you, 'Game' is a persuasion method used in the context of dating, so we are trying to break down and refine each section of our interaction with women.
So unless they really really know you, they aren't basing their decision on ''you'' so much as they are on your behavior.
As for them not coming out - there are likely lots of tweaks you could make to change that, it's really difficult to say without you showing us more of whats going on.
Value thing - really hard to say as it's not that simple.
Physical attraction - I bet you've seen plenty of guys less attractive than yourself with girls, so dont worry about that.
You could improve the dressing area of things, as that always helps raise your value.
Not enough attraction - how long are you interacting with them for?
To me it sounds like you just need to really practice creating attraction in women, as i've said before, I think you should do it in a variety of environments that have varying difficulty levels as that will make it easier for you to see the right signals so you know when you're doing it really right.
Bad location - yeah thats definitely a possibility, I think you should try a bunch of different places, as it's getting cold this will influence things somewhat, shopping malls, book stores, the metro and other parts of Shanghai are definitely worth checking out, you don't have to do it alone.
Boyfriends - maybe, too hard to say, also it doesn't always matter.
Not enough approaches - Yeah i think that you definitely should be doing more, the more data you get the easier it is to improve things and the higher chances you have of converting.
The girls you've already hit up - its highly likely you could improve things with them via text and convert them, show us where it's at in the group so we can give you feedback, or feel free to post it here.
Trying to get minimum - Yeah this is a real problem.
Why do you think this is?
I understand that learning the theory of things is where your comfort zone is, you've also shown a lot of umphf in doing the foot work...so why not get something from that?
