But then perhaps that's why the coaches go to those places, because the people they coach are so helpless that they feel that this is the place they do the least amount of damage in teaching them this art?
Yes that is exactly why!!
Its about finding a place where fuckups have the least consequences. And also about having so many opportinities that if you fuck one up, you can find 5 other opportunities in a matter of minutes.
If you flirt with the cashier at your neighborhood groccery store, the receptionist or girls at your gym or god forbid your co-workers and fuck it up, they have consequences!
Do that with some random girls on the high street or at a packed club, and it really does not have any consequences. You can go your separate ways and never have to bump into each other.

I have seen your advice of being social and flirting with everyone and making it natural and second nature and I think its great advice. But it is great advice to a guy who already has some basics in place. From your own posts I see that you dont come from the clueless hardcase newbie background.
But for a second think about this.
There are guys who grew up extremely socially isolated, sometimes they are super nerdy or they came from very religious families, they had just 2-3 other super nerdy friends throughout school.
If we take people coming from eastern cultures, there are guys who went to "only boys" schools. Like schools where literally there were no girls. They had zero interactions with girls in their formative years. Guys who grew up with super strict and religious parents, guys who grew up in prudish cultures.
Guys who never kissed a girl, never went on a date or never even held a girl's hand for the first 25 or even 30 years of their lives.
These guys are indeed "helpless" in this area of life. And often times they are the guys who turn up for coaching. So these guys need a different approach to level up.
They cant just flirt with everyone around them in their day to day lives because they will end up alienating everyone. And for them approaching in a packed club or on the hight street is the safest place to fail and fail again and improve slowly.
