You are using a wrong interpretation of NGAF here. You are being indifferent to what happens. You are being indifferent to your results, and therefore being indifferent to taking action.
Performance refinement and improvement is what I'm talking about when I say that giving a f*ck has given me results.
When I don't give a f*ck, I do not care to improve, because I don't give a f*ck.
I honestly don't see what's so hard to understand about that.
Being indifferent is NOT the same as NGAF.

In which case yes, I agree with you. THAT would be helpful, so long as we give a f*ck to do everything in our power to be at our most attractive. Give a f*ck about improving and doing everything in OUR power to get the girl, NGAF about things we can't control.
If that's what you're saying, then I agree.
Always giving my best shot, but NGAF about the outcome.
- Did I just have my best sales month EVER!?
- Ok.
- I just had my worst sales month EVER!!
- Ok.
Which is what I am trying to get at.
We should always try to focus on improving ourselves, and the only way we can do that is by giving it our best shot, all the time. But not caring about the outcome, if we do care (give a f*ck) about the outcome we'll get emotional, and we'll break down eventually when we don't reach the wanted outcome (yet). And then we'll get sad that we're sad about not reaching a goal which will make us even sadder and we'll just go in an evil circle.
