[[Nightgame]] is cold approach in bars and clubs. The [[Newbie assignment]] is a cold-approach on-ramp that starts with "hi."

A '''cold approach''' is opening someone you have no social tie to — no friend-of-a-friend, no app match, no workplace. [[Daygame]] is cold approach in daylight on the street, in shops, on transit. [[Nightgame]] is cold approach in bars and clubs. The [[Newbie assignment]] is a cold-approach on-ramp that starts with "hi."

== Why it is the prestige skill ==
The seduction community treats cold approach as proof you can generate romance from a blank street. Social-circle and app game can produce more sex per hour for many men; they do not produce the same "I can do this in a foreign city" claim. PUA Lingo called cold approach the form that makes a man "free in the world."

== Cost ==
[[Approach anxiety]] is the tax. Most dropout happens before the first "hi," not after the tenth rejection. Training programs (Mystery bootcamps, the assignment, daygame in-fields) are almost entirely anxiety-exposure machines with technique bolted on.
