It's possible. I was also pretty jet lagged so it could be I was spacing out a bit and looking weird. Who knows. Her wrapping herself around me was strange too. At first I thought she was going to whisper some kind of come on - and who knows maybe in her world that works.

What is the litmus test for GTFO? Spend a few weeks going out and if it sucks, go for greener pastures? A couple of girls were into me, but they were bar fly types. I want something better than bar sluts. I assume most people here do.
I'm looking around these places and well to do Chinese guys seem to have good looking girls, the rest of the girls, average to below average looking girls, definitely not worth going after. Im in a 3rd/4th tier Chinese city. So while the number of people is large, the number of girls in most bars is surprisingly quite low and not high value - looks and my type.
Off to greener pastures I guess. Just like being in a 4th tier western city, the chicks their aren't worth the work, even if the work is minimal at best. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.
A few things.
-What are you saying to these girls when you approach?
-If the bar isn't working have you considered trying something else?
-If you can't pull in this city what makes you so sure you can pull in another city.
Granted I don't live in China, but game is still game. If you're really sure it's your city then send Suits or TravelerKai a PM and see what's what about your city, but I'd imagine they'd ask you the same questions I asked first as well.

Thanks for the reply, should have been more clear.
Its not pulling that's the issue. Its the quality of the girls Im seeing when I go out is low. These girls are not passing the boner test. There are good looking girls at the bar/club, but they are 2-3 girls with one guy at a table off to the side, playing dice games.
Its -23C here so that's an issue too. Its just too damn cold.
My issue now:
No online game here - no OKcupid, Pof, Chinese tinder called tantan has been abysmal even with good pics.
Daygame has been poor. Girls that are just barely passing the boner test, but that I wouldn't want to introduce to people as my girl, they are interested in me. Good looking girls not so much. One thing Ive noticed is that girls are even walking with their phone in their hand now, its not even in their bag. Constantly texting, looking at stuff, even while walking. The better looking they are the more common Im seeing that.
Night game, what I mean by bar sluts. Most of the places Im going have poor ratios and the girls there are mostly 5s. One girl must have had 4-5 guys around her and I was playing some pool but chatted her up on the way to the bathroom. I got a lot of IOI and arm grabbing, so I put my arm around her, hugging her closer to see what her figure was like under a big sweater but she was flat as a pancake. She asked for my wechat/number and we exchanged but I wasn't interested. Her best quality was that she was there, thin, plain looking, flat Chinese girl but that's all there was. So these bar girls have zero value in China other than going to a few bars where they know will be a lot of foreign guys and Chinese guys with few other girls. There must be better quality than this somewhere else.
I asked some friends in other cities and they are doing well with online game. Its not an option here. Doesn't exist. Daygame im getting poor results, night game is hit or miss with mostly miss.

It's strange for a girl to get that physical with a dude she doesn't know. Was she smashed?
Maybe she really did think you were gay which is why she felt OK wrapping herself around you?

If your town is not player friendly (busy bars everyday, swank restaurants, fresh gorgeous talent), find a new town.
If you can't afford a new town, work your ass off until you can.
I am in the situation described.
We pulled them off the street into a quiet bar. Within a half hour, mine (who's only been here a month) was attacking me like nothing I've ever experienced. I did some naughty stuff with her in the bar and I'm pretty sure I could have banged her in the bathroom but was fucked out from one of my girls that morning and the night before. So no Ukrainian flag yet. Still, it was a super fun time and an example of how anything can happen at any given time if you approach.
or maybe she was doing the #wastehistime2016(01-19-2016 02:24 AM)kaotic Wrote: First time for everything, had my first official last minute at the venue bail.
We matched last week, talked on Friday over the phone, couldn't meet up. Planned on Saturday, I didn't even bother.
Hit her up with a follow up Sunday, and she apologized this morning about not hitting me back up.
I called her after work, we chatted had a good laugh. Followed up with her as I was headed to the venue and she was cool.
30 minutes passed called her and texted her - a few rings, straight to VM, no text response.
Swung by the venue, thought about rolling solo, decided I'd rather not drink.
As I'm driving home, I'm browsing Tinder, she unmatched me. Hit up my Indian plate.
I'm guessing she didn't like the joke about her possibly being a Jenneror maybe she was doing the #wastehistime2016
Who knows, maybe her hamster was running full speed, not my problem.
Oh well, still got my nut, and 2 other dates lined up this week.

In terms of the game, I'm kind of stuck stagnant and when I pulled into Austin I didn't even feel like approaching even though I slugged through 1 or 2.

I read somewhere courage is like vitamin C. The body doesn't store it from one day to the next so it must be consumed every day or the body runs out of it. Likewise, in the case or courage, it must be practiced every day anew.
It's not really a lack of courage I'm seeing from what you wrote but more of a blas茅 , as you say, stagnant attitude and laziness. So therefore, 'action' must be practiced every day. Even if it's asking "is that the new iPhone?"
For me, I do things to keep me motivated. For example, sometimes while eating breakfast, instead of the morning news, I watch some pickup videos of guys who match my style on youtube. I've found by watching in the morning, I sometimes notice a cute girl later that day in a similar situation to what the dude on the video was seeing and I'll just kind of imitate the youtube PUA. I say some of his stuff. It's just keeping it in my mind and vivid and fresh.
Indirect openers are another good way. The girl doesn't know you're hitting on her at first and you only escalate if she starts showing interest and investing.
Sometimes it's hard to build up that flirtatious energy if we're in a stagnant slump. A receptive girl who wants to chat after your indirect opener makes it easier for a player to flirt. Also, you're outcome independent and it's no big deal if she walks off or doesn't want to chat as you're just running 'receptivity' game.
Obviously this is game/approach 101 but when in doubt, go back to the fundamentals.

When did you set up the date? How did you get the confirmation? How warm was the lead?
It seems that she flaked on you Saturday, so you called her Sunday, and set up a date for Monday, when she flaked? But you called her on Monday?
Here's the hidden benefit of having logistics on point. If the bar is 2 minutes from your place, time wasted is minimized.

Bitches ain't shit man, onto the next one.
Gym shouldn't be a plan man, it should be a structured and proper routine.
You're not an AFC keeping shit real and understanding where you're at and what you can afford. Family's real, you're helping them, that's to be respected.
I was surprised I still had my strength after being on and off sick for 2 weeks.

Here's the hidden benefit of having logistics on point. If the bar is 2 minutes from your place, time wasted is minimized.
When we matched Thursday I immediately pulled the trigger, it was a very hot lead, but I had shit I needed to do that evening. By the time I was done she was tired working on a project, so we talked about Saturday but did NOT actually plan something.
I suggested she visit my town, but she got all skittish saying she it's our first time meeting blah blah, so I soothed the hamster and didn't make any plans for Saturday.
Let me restate, I texted her Sunday, she replied to me Monday morning apologizing with 3 consecutive texts, she then asked my what I was doing.
Immediately I set the same plans in motion for that night and would call her after work.
My logistics are always on point when they come to me.
If a girl is skittish or I don't have time to meet near my pad, I meet at this certain venue where I've become somewhat friends with the bartenders.
It's about 10 minutes away from my gym/work in a college part of the town.
Anyways, like I said, I call her after work we joke a bit (the Jenner joke), I hit her up after the gym to start getting ready, then I call her when to take off and send her the address.
That's when I didn't hear shit from her.
I only lost 30 minutes of my time when I initially got there, and I still got a nut that night.
I could wonder why she pulled what she did, but it doesn't really matter to me.

This a problem I've been facing lately too. I've faced many hurdles in the game; being a skinny little shit, not knowing how to close properly, having atrocious logistics; but the worst by far is just not even wanting to approach. After returning from the Dominican Republic, I'm genuinely not attracted to most of the women I see here in Los Angeles. And it's not even like I'm in a college full of uglies; my school has a reputation for having fairly decent women, but they just don't stack up to the morenas I was meeting in Santo Domingo. Also, the sheer amount of work I have to put in doesn't correspond to the quality of the sex I'm having, let alone the quality of the women I'm banging.
Since the nightlife at my school is lacking, daygame and social circle are the only real ways to meet women here. And since I'm forced to rely on daygame, it can take me upwards of thirty approaches before I get laid once with anything better than a 6. This involves having thirty fairly repetitive conversations and spending hours walking around campus--just to have sex with one half-decent woman. And this was during Fall quarter, when women are at their most receptive. In winter, I might have to put in much more work for far less of a result.
Basically, I've been feeling like these girls aren't worth the effort. Having sex is cool, but after getting laid semi-frequently for the past two years of college, it's just not worth the cost in time and energy. And it's a bizarre state of mind to be in, since up to this point, I've been extremely sexually driven. Up until now, I heavily enjoyed the process of daygame and seduction, but I seem to be experiencing a strong case of player burnout.
I wonder what I can do to fix this, but at the same time, I'm also wondering whether I even have to.
