What to do if one cannot approach

Game has it that any man who cannot barge his way into 'sets' uninvited is a bit of a loser. In fact he will end up feeling a bit like a loser in either event because the success rate with cold approaches is very very low.
Mystery advises that the newbie go out four nights a week and spend four hours a night approaching. During this time he should approach three women per hour.

Dress a little better. Lose a little weight.
