I approach women fairly regularly. I don't keep stats. I don't have a routine. I don't even call it "daygame." But I like meeting women in person and having a natural conversation with them.
I've dated women from this, and while there have obviously been awkward interactions (awkward interactions are the norm for any and all socialization), most women are appreciative and many end up thanking me, even encouraging me to "keep doing this."
There seems to be a question of authenticity, which I understand. My intentions are simply to meet a woman I would like to get to know. I'm not offering some grand romantic fantasy. If it goes to a first date? I still don't set expectations for sex or romance because, well, it's just a date. You see where it goes.
There are absolutely problematic men in this. I'd say the vast majority. Beyond the stats and routines, there's the lingo ("I saw a target"), the lack of authenticity ("I don't really care what she does, but I pretended to") and just the general lack of self-awareness.
Many men daygame to improve their social standing when, in reality, this should only be done by people with already decent social skills (so they aren't relying on routines).
That said, this has improved my social skills. Now, I don't just start conversations with women. I start them with people I find interesting. This has helped me a lot when I've travelled solo and I've even made professional connections. For me, this is just a different avenue to meet people and the idea of "daygame" has only helped so much as showing an introverted 20-something that you can do this and people will respond.
