On my way to sports training and I hoped to squeeze in a haircut.

Approach #1:
I saw a tall redhead chick with that hipster look.
I opened her and found out she was German.
She did not like my city but somehow is looking forward to other Aussie cities.
I found out she was a solo traveller and thought it would be great to get drinks sometime.
She hesistated and stood by that she was leaving my city soon.
We moved on.

Approach #2:
I saw a girl walking from the opposite direction and opened her anyway.
She was from Slovakia. She was another one who came to Australia to study English.
The Czech Republic was inevitably mentioned.
She said she was in a hurry because she needed to go to work.
She left.

Approach #3:
I saw a girl with dyed hair and Mediterranean appearance. She had a nice dress combination and boobs.
I went for the approach through a crossing before chatting her up beside her.
I discovered she works in IT and she studies part time.
She also told me she was Greek and Middle Eastern and asked about my nationality.
She came from Greece 4 years ago so she doesn’t have the attitude of a typical long term Aussie girl.
“Do you normally talk to strangers like this?” she was wondering many times.
It was a recurring theme.

If all else fails why not go direct?
“Not often. I don’t see many cute girls like you. There are many Aussies and Germans here.”
She explained that part time studies take up the rest of the time especially with night classes.
Soon we inevitably had to part ways as she had to go to campus and I had to see if my favourite hairdresser is there as she is the only one I trust to cut my hair there regardless of bookings.
“I wanna see you again sometime. We should exchange numbers. ”
“Uh… Do you have Instagram?”
“Yeah well I do but…” I uttered half-way until,
“Oh let’s go for numbers then.”, she interrupted.
Wew. We exchanged numbers.
Then we both left on our ways.

About almost an hour later:

as out catching up with my best friends on Sat night who I don’t get to see much, so wasn’t really about approaching girls as much as having a laugh with my friends, but did manage to squeeze in one or two.

Opened a 9/10 beauty on the street. Perfect looking. She was talking too a homeless dude and I opened her. She asked me if I could give the homeless guy some money but I think I ignored that thread and just started asking her who she was and initiated kino straight away. She was somewhat intrigued/receptive initially, probably because it was still early and maybe she’s not really been cold approached before due to her age plus this is the UK! Very soon her friend jumped in and told me how old the girl I was hitting on was (legal here btw!) I think I played it off like I was the one disqualifying her based on that age information and teased her and negged her about something and carried on trying to game her because she was a hot as holy hell, but to be honest, I think she was still thinking about the homeless dude as I think she asked me if I had any money for him again! lol. Her Friend dragged her away shortly after

Also opened a 3-set of Czech girls. Can’t remember how I opened or hooked unfortunately which is a shame, because it was a rare set in that I almost never have long sets (usually blown out fast unless she thinks i’m hot), but I was chatting with all 3 of them in the beer garden for a good hour. But I think I messed up with not leading (should have maybe suggested we go back in to dance or something) and I also never really picked a clear target and showed intent from memory. The whole interaction was lots of teasing and fun with all of them as opposed to singling one out, mixed in with normal chat (comfort), but I don’t think I ever really ‘made a move’. Partly because I didn’t sense I had any sexual attraction and so I wasn’t sure on how to best do it. Watched a JeffyRSD video about ‘making the move’ that day aswell! haha (he suggests peppering in canned ‘statements of intent’ like ‘You don’t wanna know what i’m thinking about doing to you right now’) but i’m not sure if it was me being too drunk to remember that stuff, or maybe I was just scared of rejection. I just feel I tend to know when a girl is interested based on eye contact and stuff, so when I don’t sense it, I don’t ‘make a move’/statement of intent

Also made maybe 8 dancefloor approaches, but no interest there. Instant rejections. If a girl doesn't think you are handsome, dancefloor approaches have like a 0% probability of working in my experience lol

I am no perfect physical embodiment of Adonis myself so makeouts don't happen too often and an actual bang is more rare so I will continue the approaches as I'm not counting on being approached myself.
It's the nature of the beast.

The thirst can be real in Australia. Heck the dude was doing a half-arsed approach on the Irish girl who was with me on that Saturday night before thankfully moving on to someone else.

Today about no more than about 10 seconds after splitting away from my colleagues in opposite directions I spotted a girl with a nice body and platinum blonde hair then I went straight for the approach from slightly behind.

Approach #1

Her face was a true shocker.
"Hi. Are you from Sweden?" as my quick lame excuse for the approach.
"No" she said in an Aussie accent.
Then she walked off on her own accord. Saved us the time.

It goes to show that I shouldn't just approach from behind so quickly then turning around to talk only to discover a butterface.
There were no more approaches anyway as I went on to have a drink with the Greek girl from yesterday after I messaged her earlier in the day and was willing to come out a little later.

I was on my way to the gym which is literally a 2 minute walk from my apartment. In my gym clothes looking like shit. I would never have expected this. On the way i noticed a group of 3 girls chatting and having a good time. One of them had a 8/10 body in a cute black summer dress. I could only see her from the back, but i decided to go for it. I approached from behind and asked the blonde girl, "I think i have seen you before, you seem very familiar". She looked at me and said i don't think so. I used my usual liner, "do you go to X school? If not then it's definitely from tinder. It's tinder right..."

She laughed and said no. Her friends kept laughing. I asked how old they were, they look very young. They said 18. I didn't expect anything from the conversation, i just approached for the sole purpose of improving my day game. Lately i have been chatting up some girls just for the fun of it, not for numbers or lays. I said oh my bad, i mistook your friend for another person. One of them said no way, you just think she's pretty don't you? I said, yeah she's very cute. "Would you like her number?" her friend set her up, while she was standing in the back kind of shy just smiling. I said, yeah does she have instagram? Add me on that. The friend took my phone and put in the blondes name. "I think you're just her type, she's into X, Y, Z kind of guys" while she was describing me basically. I thought jackpot.

"But you're not one of those guys that just want to fuck and leave right?" I brushed it off saying "no way, do i really look like that?" haha.

I messaged her later that night and we had a chit chat. We're going out this friday. She seems really cool, im excited for the date. She's a 7.5/10, cute figure, innocent face.

Nice @Fiirat113 - How old are you? And what 'things' did they say about you that made you 'her type'? (''She's into x, y z type off guys'')

@subterfuge I let them guess my age, first one said 28 (God damn it... i need to shave), the girl that helped me setup the number said 23 and the cute blonde girl im going out with said 22. Her friend said she was into guys that train, sense of humour and brown eyes/dark hair. I am 22 years old. I was very relaxed with the approach. It felt natural, since i didn't get into it expecting much, so the anxiety was non-existent. I think i came off as confident and fun/outgoing guy, so there was no bitch shields/barriers put up. You know how it usually is, one of the girls sense you're up to something, and they try to ruin it for you by making the decision for their friend, instead of giving her a chance to think. Cockblocking.

You actually inspired me to write a more in depth post about this topic. Thank you.

Post an update of that date you have tomorrow, did it happen or not, how it went.

Yesterday I was making my way to the gym.
I walked across the park and then saw a nice looking girl sitting on a park bench and went in for the approach.

Approach A1:

With a similar appearance to that girl on the Ukranian talk show I would say damn worth the approach.
I asked if she was from the UK, I’m guessing she was imported Eastern European talent.
She said she wasn’t from England and I heard her accent which sounded Eastern European.
She was actually from the Czech Republic. Almost as fine as the last Czech girl I banged.
“I’m betting not Prague as there's too many tourists. Ostrava? Brno?”
She was from a city down south which I don’t remember anyway.
We mainly talked about the nightlife scene between different Aussie cities.
Definitely a feisty one.

Eventually she was interrupted by a phone call. She was speaking in Spanish.
After the phone call she had to meet her friend who was watching us from afar.

Her friend finally came over so I had to get her contact details before they go.
I temporarily distracted him complimenting his watch.

Then I chose to get her details via Instagram.
“Yeah I have a lot of travel pics you should check them out”.
Sure sure mate I won’t be hitting her up via direct message.

Then we parted ways.


Today I had a bit more time.

Approach B1:
Saw a girl wearing less clothing despite this cooler weather and did the casual leisurely approach.
“Hi do you work at a café?”
“No”
She never stopped walking so the approach ended as soon as it began.

Approach B2:
I saw two girls. One I wouldn’t approach but the other was not bad so I went for the approach.
“Are you two studying here?”
They were here on a working holiday visa to tour Australia.
They were in my city until next week which is a shame considering I am occupied with other things in life this weekend.
I was wondering if they did the picking apples routine required to extend their visa but they didn’t need to.
I had to let them go anyway.

Approach B3:
I went to a sushi shop.
I saw a girl who looked a little better than the girls within the immediate vicinity but not a stunner.
She didn’t look Eastern European but I asked anyway if she was from there.
“No I am living in Germany but I am from there.”
“Where” I asked.
“Poland”
“I went to Warsaw”
“Oh cool”
I’m glad she didn’t ask why
She wasn’t as busty as the last Polish girl I banged.
She was from a town not far from Krakow.
Just as she was about to leave I tried to get her contact details but slowly kept moving on.
Now it’s a recurring me to me that no matter if they are home or abroad these girls are somehow programmed trained to give the “I have a boyfriend line” sometimes if approached during the day.
So I let her off anyway.

It seems these Eastern European girls here aren’t as fine looking as those back in their home countries. Though it doesn’t mean I didn’t see some shockers in their respective home countries so it’s all relative.

I just got home from the date. We had a solid 1.5 hour of conversation. She isn't what i was expecting. When i first saw her she was the shy little girl, but on the date when i built enough comfort and made her laugh she opened up very well. She is super talkative and we were stumbling over each other with new topics. We had the same stupid humor and she seemed smart for her age. I have missed some of this. My last date was so boring i had to FORCE the conversation going. Like cycling uphill in the same high gear. But this girl was different. A fresh breath of air.

But I think i fucked up a little bit. I only started escalating and doing kino by the end of the date, when she was about to leave for work. I must have enjoyed our banter and forgot to actually GAME her. But on the bright side, i got to know what kind of girl she was, and could easily escalate on the 2nd date. She seems innocent enough, she didn't even understand an obvious sexual innuendo. She's might be a virgin since she says she's only had one boyfriend when she was 16, so two years ago, and it was awful. Hopefully, it's not one of those cases where it takes you a fucking decade to get past the stage of kissing and holding hands with her. I pray for this. She said she would like to see me again, and that we should schedule something when she's done with work, i said sure. Yeah... a little disappointed with my performance, but oh well, you learn from your mistakes.

I didn't lead as much as i should have. But let's see how she feels about it all. I will update this further.

Today I needed to do some errands so I squeezed in some part-time daytime approaches.

Approach #1
I decided to chat up this girl.
She just walked on.
It’s the same daygame funnel corridor.
Ended as quickly as it begin.

Approach #2
I saw a plain looking blonde as a contrast to the mediocrity that’s been walking by.
She said she was Sweden and was from Gothenburg which has a population of 1 million instead of Stockholm of 1.2 million. Don’t quote me if the figures are incorrect.
I guessed she was here for a holiday but she has been living here for 6 years. I knew it since the quality and quantity has declined at this time of the year.
Just as I was about to start going direct she had to move on to go to work.
Another reminder that Swedes are hotter back in Europe.

Approach #3
I saw a chick sitting down on a seat.
She said she was Belgium. She spoke French.
Just before I could continue she said she had a tattoo appointment at 5PM.
It was actually 5PM.

Approach #4
I spotted a girl who looks Norweigan at the bus stop.
She looked similar to Jodie Piper if you were to look her up, fine looking but bad teeth.
My bad she was actually a local.
Just when I was about to continue her bus came and she had to bid goodbye.

With a busy weekend including date scheduling I won't be anticipating many approaches.

OK here's an approach I'm wondering about. Inspired by an event yesterday. Walking down the street and an attractive thin woman walks by. Thin white t-shirt. No bra (as seems to be popular now - gotta love it!) and nipples visible - both due to darkness and hardness.

Kinda like this pic (pic from Pinterst fyi)

   

Do you approach and compliment the goods? :-)

^ I’ve approached girls in that type of situation by teasing her about how she is going to cause a car accident walking around like that.

me: If there’s an accident, you will be responsible. This outfit is dangerous. How dare you? I almost tripped just walking here.

No one approach for different situations. You could be seen as creepy or be seen as cheeky (in a good way). Depends on the girl.

If it were me, I would game as normal.

Mine was the 1st call into the Roosh chat on Youtube. I presented a question on approach dynamics, something I've been recently delving back into, largely due to my perpetual disgust of the online scene.

It's been a while since I approached. Was kind of lazy since I have a nice rotation and did not feel the need.
This Friday, went to an extended social circle meetup. It was 4 guys and a girl. All of us in our 40s.
I noticed that the hostess was a cute 7.5, 5"1 (YES. That short!). I'm 6"5.
I engaged the group, but at the same time would occasionally ping her:

1. Me: "That's funny. I'm as tall as you sitting down"
Her: (Bushing) "I'm 5"1. That is why"
Me: "How cute (Smirking). You may go now"
Her: (Shocked) (Giggling)

2. Me (Going to the bathroom): "Where's the toilet?"
Her: (Pointing)): "Over there".
Me: (Light touch and direct eye contact): "You are very hospitable. I like that"
Her: (Smiling, satisfied)

There was a rotation after an hour, where 2 guys left and two other girls joined. I continue to make eye contact, wink and smile at her every few minutes. Eventually everyone left, and I stayed to finish my drink.
Called her over, as the place was almost empty.
We chatted for a few minutes about the place, and then when I made it personal, she stated that she is a Junior In High School!
(Probably 17 or less).

Cute and everything, This is below my "designated age limit".
Thanked her, after light teasing and left.

I'm still not doing approaches enough, due to the effort of building rotation. Maybe after things settle down I'll get back to it.

On my way to sports training and hoping there's some attractive girls, if any to approach.

Approach #1
I saw a tanned looking chick albeit rather generous with the makeup and looked pretty much like one of those Geordie Shore types.
"Hey are you German?"
"No I'm Irish."
She wasn't from Dublin which I by default ask any Irish chick where they're from.
She was insistent that she was on her way to get to the train. By the second time I decided to let her go on her way.

Approach #2
I saw a chick sitting by herself.
An earlier version of me a while back would make excuses not to step over the fence to approach her.
She was worth the approach so I went and chatted her up.
"Are you a student?"
Even though she looked like a backpacker and admitted she was on a holiday.
I guessed correctly that she was from the UK. A place up the northern part of the UK.
I told her I might be posted to the UK in the near future.
Unfortunately her bus was literally an hour away before leaving the city.
"You like partying?", how simple can I get asking something like this?
She insisted yes and I got her Instagram so I can pipeline her when I do end up somewhere north in the UK next time for any reason.


Approach #3
I saw this cute chick at the bus stop.
I waited for her to put away both her iPhone as well as her iPod Nano. Not one but two gadgets here.
I chatted her up indirectly first to see if she was catching the same bus as me.
She didn't but anyway I started going direct based on her attire.
We talked about our uni as I went to the same university as she did.
Her bus came.
I went for the high-speed Instagram details request so I can directly message her later which is faster than getting 10 digits but her Instagram username was a mess so no real advantage there.
"That's an unusual way of contacting me", she said.
The bus queue wasn't very long unfortunately.
For a moment I was kinda feeling sorry as the bus door just closed on her but she knocked and the bus driver let her in so it was all good.

Just wanted to comment this a little, to offer a slightly different take on this.

In my country, older man pursuing minor girls is not exactly common, but when it happens it doesn't really rise too much eyebrows. Let me tell you a example.
One girl I know since she was 15, was already at 16/17 getting huge amount of attention from guys even over 40 years old. That happened especially since she worked in some half dingy bar where a lot of local drunkards and generally guys with no morals went in.
Those guys sometimes overtly told her that they want to take her out on a date and they gave her their numbers. One of the guys even called her sometimes to "check what is she doing".

In the other example, when I was 15, a lot of girls my age were completely inaccessible because they were in relationships with guys of 21 years old and more.

I see your point.
I remember in high-school that one of the girls was in a relationship with someone 6-7 years older.
However, it is frowned upon in Israel and also as I stated it is below my "designated age limit" (which is 19-20).
But, that's me.

Anyone successfully incorporated bicycle into their day game approaches? I had an idea to do that, but not totally sure how to execute this without coming off as weird.

Not that much different than normal DG approach.

The way I internalize it is what would you do if you spotted someone you knew and were riding a bike -- park up next to them and greet them. same thing, park up next to the girl and deliver opener.

The day before yesterday prior to going to the gym I looked for any approachable chicks on my way.

Approach A1:
I saw a really fine looking chick sitting by herself at the park with study notes.
I decided to ask her if she was from Norway.
No she was from Germany.
She’s been here for a few years yet her voice had a significant British accent. No shit she’s hung around too many British people.
I was wondering if she was here for the long term.
Eventually I tried to go for the number but she said she has a boyfriend.
As I do I always ask them where they met their boyfriends to see if they can give a truthful or at least believable answer right away.
She met him in Germany and then the conversation ended there.


Yesterday I had to meet up with friends for dinner. Unfortunately the way there had career women who were older and there were none of the university aged chicks I always go for.

Approach B1:
Oh what the hell.
I approached a woman who had some of her tits showing.
I asked where there was good food options and if she was a lawyer. She’s been an attorney for a while.
Eventually she suggested I go hit up a nearby pub. I forgone that idea and she moved on.

Approach B2:
After I was done messaging friends a woman came over to also play with her phone.
After she stopped playing with her phone I began chatting her up.
She looked nice but was on the older side and as she talked she didn’t have the most perfect teeth.
I continued talking about her marketing career a little longer until she no longer seemed interested to talk.
Then I moved on as well.


Today I was on my way to retrieve my car after it was being serviced.

Approach C1:
I saw a tanned chick with big tits who looked like one of those fine Latina women you see in the movies or music videos around tropical beaches get on the same first train as me.
The next station was close by.
When the train stopped and people shuffled to move on or off the train I began looking at her then pointed to her earphones which were from some shopping centre to start chatting her up indirectly.
At first I had the impression she looked like she was going to give me some serious attitude. Regardless I started to chat her up but quite the exact opposite and she was very pleasant.
I tried to guess if she was from Venezuela.
She grew up in the same city as me but is half-Brazilian and half-Italian.
She was doing her mandatory research prior to graduating from her degree.
She talked about her experiences with Brazil and how the suburbs were more dangerous than the favelas and police received the same training as the military there.
Eventually we got off at the same stop and continued until I wanted to “get to know her”.
Then she gave the dreaded “I have a boyfriend line”.
I asked the usual question to see how quickly she answers truthfully or plausibly on how or where she met her boyfriend.
She met him in my city but he moved from Uruguay when he was 3.
Then we moved on to different trains anyway.

Girl 1:
I was walking through a park and saw a girl lying on her front reading from an e-reader. I was approaching her from behind but some other guys were walking past her towards me. I heard them say something like "ooh, sexy girl" or something like that and kept on walking. I can't believe some girls have to put up with gameless shit like that.
I walked away and waited for a bit before turning around to approach her from the front so she could see me. I was asking about how readable the ereader was compared to a tablet etc.
I sat down beside her and guessed she was from Germany but she said Krakow and as I was there a few weeks ago, I said I was there recently. We talked about the cultural differences that I noticed, but there wasn't much chemistry.
As I got up I asked her for her number not expecting her to say yes, but she gave it to me.

I felt pretty fucking awesome having walked away with her number vs those guys who made comments as they walked past her.

Girl 2:
I was on a high and as I was strolling around, I saw another girl leaning against the railing looking out the river.
I walked past her, took a photo of the river and told her I was taking photos and noticed her and thought she was cute. We talked a bit, she was from Latvia and she asked me my name and for *my* number! We were getting along pretty well, I was lightly touching her forearm etc but she said she was waiting for her friend who was meeting her for dinner. We walked away from the river and towards the street when she bumped into her friend.

She introduced her friend to me and we joked a bit as we walked towards their restaurant. We got there and she said 'well this us, it was nice to meet you'. I can't remember if I said I'll message you, but I remember having a pretty good feeling that I'd found a live one here!

The day after (which is now a few days ago) I messaged both of them;
Girl1; I said it was cool meeting randomly yesterday and sent her a picture from when I was in Poland. She replies "Hey, nice picture "
I asked her to come out to a cafe with me (we were talking about how she wants to become a kind of writer who writes about cool places to visit here, eg cafes, museums) but no reply.

Girl2; I said it was cool meeting randomly and how it was cool we were able to guess what we each did for jobs. She replies pretty enthusiastically, hoping I had a good day yesterday and a productive day today.

I asked if she wanted to come to a cafe when we could talk properly (as our interaction was cut short as she had to meet her friend). But no reply.

This experience came to mind when I was going through the Biggest red pill you ever had to swallow? thread.

Why does this happen? I was on quite a high the few days after I got the number as I was sure I'd have a date for this weekend. Why would she ask me for my number, name if she wasn't interested?

There is nothing left to do other than go out there again and keep on keeping on.

I'll be damned, finding girls in Scotland's capital is a Mission Fucking (nearly) Impossible. My pedometer clocked nearly 20000 steps, just over 13 km, for little to show.

1.

2 set in a museum. One girl dark, one brighter, open indirectly about the thing that they were playing with. Felt meh, and it showed. Short interaction, moved on.

2.

Girl in Tk Maxx. Actually, a 4 set. Yes, so few girls in this town, I can jump on a 4 set. Waited for a moment she'd be semi-isolated, didn't happen, loitered around check out area (well, if you buy stuff, surely, you'll pay for it?). Luckily, she waked past me speaking German, jumped on that and opened. Got semi-hook, she laughed a bit and asked questions, for a few steps away her female and male friend (a couple I guess) looked at the spectacle, then her other, Spanish girl friend from a distance asked loudly the all important question if she liked the blouse she was trying on. I lost the set in an instant, my frame wasn't rock solid, German girl just walked away and I was left with my dick hanging in the air. Crab mentality?

3.

Saw a classic tourist girl - backpack, down jacket, tight leggings, opened, tourist? Not at all, it was this girl's hometown. Charitably, she guessed I was Swedish (I'm not). No traction, I wasn't playing the right game, nice guy shit, mumbo-jumbo chat, she wouldn't face me, poor eye-contact, she excused herself eventually. Wasn't that keen on her either.

4.

Just on a street where I live, this Venezuelan girl (best looking girl all day I saw), came out of nowhere (that is, another street), I clocked her, I had to open, sped up, caught up with her as she walked quite fast, didn't manage to go with a strong, full-frontal open, did from a side, but she stopped. No real hook, it was late, I think she was a bit apprehensive of being stopped by a stranger (well, Latin America safest country isn't it, is it?) I still managed over a minute's convo, she asked me to keep walking with her, I declined - she excused herself eventually she was going to the gym (it was literally 20 steps from where we stood). I wasn't standing close enough, she seemed to be cautious not to get to close but when I introduced myself, and extended hand, she made a step forward, shook it but then immediately stepped back and said she had to go.

And that was that.

Yesterday straight after work

Approach #1:
I saw a chick sitting on a park bench.
She looked like one of those dirty blonde half-Asian girls you see in Kazakhstan based on her hair and facial appearance.
She is from California but currently living in Hawaii and is across Australia for a month.
Eventually after chatting about America I arranged to meet her later. I got her number so we could meet up later.

Later we met up on a mixed walking tour.
The walking tour went for a few hours until more and more of us disappeared.
Some of us went to the toilet and half the remaining walking group disappeared and she did too. I bailed not long after.

Yet to receive a response from her but one of the girls from one of my daytime approaches arranged some free time with me shortly. I hope I can squeeze in an approach or two in the meantime.

I've covered today 20km, equivalent to 28500 steps. Haven't seen a single 8+ girl. Auld Reekie is officially an utter hell.
