A '''warm approach''' is | A '''warm approach''' is a [[PUA]] term that described romantically approaching someone that one is already acquainted with instead of approaching a stranger. | ||
Warm approaches seem to be the most common way people initiate romantic relationships (in societies with free-mate choice). Research indicates that most people (of both sexes) prefer to make romantic overtures to people they already know.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/19485506211026992</ref> | |||
As incels are often socially isolated, the inability to make warm approaches, where their chances of success may be higher, may often be a large contributing factor to their inceldom. Supporting this, some studies have suggested that there may be a general tendency for women to wait longer to transition to sex when their partners are less physically attractive (and this may extend to other desirable traits).<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#The_attractiveness_gap_in_a_couple_predicts_how_long_they_wait_before_engaging_in_sex</ref> | |||
These threads of evidence suggest that most men ''need'' to generally invest heavily in a woman (in terms of resources, time and [[Jestermaxx|entertainment value]], in order to outwait her natural coyness. They need to build trust, generally present themselves as a suitable mate, outcompete other men for her affections, and take an indirect approach before she will accept a relationship with him and provide him with sex. This essentially means that lower-value men are often limited to warm-approaches, while men with [[SMV|high mate value]] may be able to effectively pursue short-term mating strategies more easily, as women will likely be more receptive to more aggressive and overt sexual advances on their behalf. | |||
