Thought I'd pitch in my latest few sets and some self-analysis from tonight. No new notches unfortunately, but you learn more from the failures, and having more experienced men provide critiques and feedback is important.
Context: still in college, major party night for all the clubs purely by coincidence. I've got multiple options. In retrospect, I think it was bad for me to try and play the field by attending each for a bit, making a few cold approaches, and then moving on if there was no response. I should have committed to one venue. As it is college, these are generally social circle, so while I don't know them, I am quickly able to build rapport based on classes, clubs, people we know in common, etc.
1st approach:
blond 6.5, the actual definition of "curvy" (ie not what girls on okc mean)
She's sitting at a couch, with an open space beside her. I sit down slowly with my drink, look over, and hit her with a "let me guess" opener. Amazingly, I get her major right (made even more incredible because it was a very rare one, I did it more as a joke but whatever), and she gets really excited, asking me how I knew.
Recalling Roosh's thread on meta conversation, I say it's because of the vibe she's giving off; she just must be that kind of girl. Banter on about how she is of German descent but can't speak any, I'm playfully smacking her on the thigh and joking with her about that. A popular song comes on (which I personally like) so I stand up and motion for her to follow and dance, trying a compliance test. Doesn't bite, so I move on.
In hindsight, this is probably the one I had the best shot at closing. Any advice on how to accept that with grace would be welcome. I was trying to focus on the spontaneous, "it just happened", and sweeping her up aspects.
2nd approach:
blond 7, very slight lisp
I move on to a different venue because the ratio at the first one is not optimal. It is at least a 2.5:1. I go to an outdoor keg race, make my way on to the deck overlooking the backyard. See a friend's LTR, catch up and make small talk with her, and she then introduces her roommate.
2nd question area: I went comfort building by learning about how many people we knew in common, we lived on different floors of the same freshman dorm, etc. Should I have taken the comfort and familiarity as a given in this situation and hit attraction harder?
We get solid banter in, I need some help on conversation and topics, links to good threads would be helpful. I am working on no longer being intimidated by pauses, and using them to process what was just said and not asking a shitty follow up, but instead digging deeper. Before I can do anything, she gets called from below by a friend and scurries off.
3rd approach:
Asian American 6, sort of alt and wearing a baseball cap backwards... good sign I know.
Hot off the previous set, I run into a good friend, catch up with him real quick, turn around, see this girl, and figure why not. I use the excuse of her bumping me trying to get by because it's packed. Unfortunately, very bitchy towards me (I'm also AA), like some other Asian-American girls I've approached.

To his credit, my friend unintentionally wings me to the best of his ability, basically giving me huge credit for making a major turnaround at X club. I laugh it off, and try to be pretty humble about it.
I open about her major to dive in, brushes that off and says she's transferring (found out she's a freshman). I bounce off of that and joke about how some of the people here can be a bit annoying at times.
Was this buying into her negativity frame? She turns away and starts talking to a friend. Next!
4th approach:
Brazilian 8, curly dirty blonde hair and tan skin... fuck.
Think something like this:

This is one where my inexperience showed badly. I return to the original venue, finding nothing at the second one. She's standing in a hallway, talking to a guy friend who is absurdly drunk. He stumbles off and I take the opportunity to open. Build comfort based off that shared acquaintance, find out she's Brazilian. Drop that I've visited Belo Horizonte, she asks why the fuck I visited that place. Drop some tangentially redpill stuff about wanting to experience the true nature of a country wherever I visit, because the capital and big cities are too Westernized.
I start stumbling here and doing the dreaded "interview" because I'm so distracted. I need to separate myself from the beauty better, something I know will come from practice. I at the very least have gotten much more confident with kino and escalation in the right manner. At this point I have my arm around her waist and have pulled her close, talking close to her ear so she can hear because it's loud. Seems salvageable.
Second problem: her drunk friend literally careens straight into me and inadvertently AMOGs me, ruffling my hair and stealing her away while stumbling around. Her roommate comes in at that time and decides it time for them to leave. Fucking hell. I've sent a friend request and will hail mary a "hey, sorry our mutual friend was crashing around, would love to continue our conversation" text if she accepts later.
Any better ideas for how to approach this hail mary?
5th approach:
Latina 7
The party is starting to wind down now. People are making their way out. I see this girl frantically scrolling through her phone. Turns out she doesn't even go here. She goes to a nearby school and is trying to figure out how to get back. Introduce myself, find out what school she's from, try to build comfort by naming a couple people I know who go there, big surprise she doesn't know any of them.
In the meantime I've got big competition. Turns out she brought a guy friend with her, and the person who invited her to this party is also a guy. They both circle in on either side of her and make my job a lot harder. Luckily they were both pretty drunk, one went to the bathroom, the other somewhere else. Build more comfort on shared interests, try to help her out with figuring out how to get home (aka walk with me to my place which is on the way).
Those two guys return, the one who goes to my school fixes me with a glare and pointedly tells me "Don't worry swuglyfe, I can take care of this." I say "Good, good," then proceed to continue helping her. Here, I at least asked what her name was and added her on FB in front of her. Number close was highly unlikely in such conditions.
Final approach:
brunette 6, eyes disproportionately big
The party is practically over now. Just a handful of people left, room largely empty. Music is still going which provides me an excuse to get closer with my hand on the small of her back. The problem with this set is... the IRT. He was in the set and cockblocking me like a motherfucker, interjecting left and right about his fucking internship in Hong Kong or whatever. Cool story, bro.
Meanwhile, I'm trying my best here, I actually correctly guess after 3 tries what small city she's from (she told me the state). She's suitably impressed by that, I tell her I'd like to move to a rival city, get some push pull from that. From what I can tell, she is at least a little bit attracted to IRT, at least enough to touch and playfully shove him. He is lingering in touching distance the whole time. Same as before, FB friend, will attempt a follow up in a few days' time.
Some takeaways from what is probably my most prolific series of approaches since taking the red pill:
I am over pedestalizing in the abstract and oneitis sense. Not in the physical, fuck there is a hot ass girl I'm interacting with sense.
I am great at building comfort through shared interests and banter, need to work a lot harder on building attraction.
Much more confident with kino and escalation, but need it to be paired with verbal escalation to be effective. A lot of it because I've hit the gym every day for the past month and have completely changed my wardrobe to stop dressing like a chode.
Asian girls continue to be the most difficult for me. Not race baiting here, just my observation. All the rest of the sets were white and were pretty open, which is beyond hilarious.
I need to get better at remaining cool but responding quickly to uphold the interaction in spite of difficult exogenous factors, mainly other dudes and jealous roommates/female friends.
Someone needs to come up with a witty remark/response to the statement "I have no idea what I want to do with my life/when I graduate." I swear that's everybody in my generation. Would be pretty universal in its applicability.
My best line of the night IMO (to a feminist SJW):
Yes, I too am a heteroqueer gender-questioning pan-sapio-demi-sexual dragonkin that chooses to self-identify as an Ent.
