TOPIC: Body fat estimate...

So I'd be better off going to the gym and forgetting about approaching for the next couple of years?

No that's nonsense, you dont have to look above average to get girls, you just need a good style, and a good personality, I was only answering your question as to whether or not getting to 10% bodyfat would put you in the above average category lookwise, which in my opinion it will not. Would getting a nice physique improve your chances when approaching girls the answer is yes, but is it absolutely necessary no. If you dont care about physique and you want to improve your look you should post up your style, hair, clothing etc. You can greatly improve your overall look by having a nice style. However, I will add, that clothing is greatly improved when you have a nice physique to show off, your clothes fit and look better.

I'm pretty limited with my hair, I have a receding hairline so its pretty much all I can do to cover that up, especially since I'm only just 22 and most 18-21 year old girls aren't going to date a noticeably balding guy. I feel my clothes are good already, in fact its the only part of my appearance I get complimented on.

I'd rather steer clear of advice on 'what to say', what I like about this place is that its much less focused on that, I don't want to go down the aspie PUA route of using canned lines or anything like that.

Any other ideas what it could be?

I'm definitely not saying to have a rehearsed routine.  You don't need to do that.  But there is a confidence that girls can immediately pick up.  If you come up to them and seem interesting like someone they want to talk to, they'll be attracted.  That's all I'm trying to say.  It is hard for me to say where you stand there.

To be honest though, the areas of improvement aren't quite my forte.  Chris has a bunch of articles here though that may speak to you.  I'm probably biased, but I'd hit the gym.  That would be my #1 suggestion.  Though, it's not for everyone and I understand that...

I'm not opposed to doing it, just don't want to have to spend another 2 years being FA/incel.

I definitely don't have that charisma/confidence/whatever but I'm pretty sure there isn't a lot I can do about that. Maybe it will come with age/practice but its not anything I can make a quick fix of, if anything it will probably be slower than putting on muscle lol.
