Night out with my boy from high school who was in town. Took him out and started the night off by walking over to a Czech lady (rare in Asia) and asking about her purse. Expressed intent quick (was a warm up set, rushing to go elsewhere), surprisingly number closed (update: took her out on a date, she was polite but reserved and resisted further attempts. oh well).

Took him first to a street with bars, spent about an hour there. Made a handful of approaches (4?), all rejections. One even stopped after the dismissal to tell me she had a boyfriend (yeah thanks helpful). Moved on to a different part of town, came back to another happening spot at around midnight. My boy opened a two set, hung out with them for a while, couple of drinks (they paid too). great vibe, but i felt underwhelmed since it wasn't my open and didn't close it out. Bad move; my friend tells me later I missed out on signs from one of them.

Moral of the story: wings aren't necessary but a good one is worth his weight in gold if you can swing it. Ive been out with mediocre or poor wings and its not worth it, hard enough to psych yourself up.

Also, all openers were direct as this was night game.

On subway platform, spot a tiny Asian chick, maybe 5', texting on her phone. Open her with "is that a good coat?"
She has a slight accent. Good eye contact. Smiling. After a bit of coat talk I transition to travel bait about as reason for coat talk.

She takes the bait pretty quickly with a question about where I'm going. She's eager, sweet and friendly. Has only been in the city for about a year but went to school down south. My math tells she's probably 25-26.

We get on the train, I lead us to sit and we continue talking. I know I only have two stops and she's asking more good questions, so initiate name exchange, and find out where she lives. A bit far, but whatever. She asks about my music and I pull a stroke of brilliance that I must use again:

"Here give me your number and I'll send you something", and hand her the phone. I get her to spell her name for me since she just put the number in (a good sign I guess that she's not so jaded to do the whole thing). We exchange goodbyes and I'm off.
I've been rereading day bang lately. It's proving quite useful.

I've been re-reading

Went on morning shopping on a weekday.
The cashier was a bored slutty girl. Probably HB7.
Opened with: "I see you have been waiting for me".
She took the bait and replied: "Yeh, all morning".
Short chat while she was doing her work.

She goes to trade school to become a legal secretary.
Told her it might not be the right work for her, and she should give me her number so we can discuss it.
She put in the digits and told me her name.

This is probably the fastest number close I had ever (about 2-3 minutes).
Text game has yet to yield results.

I'm having so much fun with this "impractical jokers" game !

I'm basically trolling the whole fucking world! Anything I see that catches my attention, I comment on it! I'm talking to everyone about everything!

Ive reached a new level of social freedom and expression. Its a lot of fun and feels very freeing.

It's an extension of my "Be the First to Speak" concept but amplified and magnified to a more macro level.

BEFORE: "be the first to speak when I enter a social environment"

AFTER: "be the first to speak all day, everyday, to everyone, about everything"

--

All these years of approaching has greatly increased my social confidence.

But, I have NOT taking advantage of it nearly as well as I could be!!!

My conversation has been too boring and basic.

My outer game is not on par with my inner game. Admittedly, I have spent lots more time on my inner game (fear/anxiety removal, confidence, swag) than my outer game (game theory, conversational tactics)

This "impractical jokers" show has inspired me to have more fun and be more bold. That's when I'm at my best!

Example:

Jogging through the downtown area at rush hour.. I wear stylish athletic clothes so that I visually communicate class and success.. I do workout hard.. I'm not big but I'm strong and fit.. I lift weights just before the jog so that I look as muscular as possible..

I scan for eye contact and inquisitive looks, if I sense that a girl is eyeballing me, I jog over to her and open her..

Recently, I spotted a sexy, athletic, white girl with a black girls body.. She walked passed me and we looked at each other.. I turned and jogged in front of her and sort of smiled at her...

her: whats up
me: you're sexy as fuck

She seemed to like it Gave a big, flirtatious smile..

her: hehehehe
me: what are you doing out here?
her: just leaving work
me: fashion industry?
her: umm ya how'd you know?
me: I'm psychic
her: hahahaha

We chatted for a minute.

me: put your number in my phone, I'll text u later
her: okay

We went to a little fashion show together the very next day! She had friends there and we didn't leave together.. Hopefully, next time!

I know that the reason she gave me a chance was because of how boldly aggressive I was in the initial approach.

I wish I had more examples but..

I no longer remember my approaches?!?!?

In the past, I could recall all my conversations with women almost verbatim! RVF members were amazed at my detailed memory.

Now, I can't remember them! I don't really care to.. I think I'm operating less from my logical brain and more from my artistic/animalistic brain?!?!? Something along those lines..

"Alongside" approaching vs.Getting in FRONT of her and STOPPING her

For the past few years, since I relied largely on cold, street approaches.. I liked casually getting along side a girl and opening her as we walked together in the same direction...

Now, I'm more likely to actually hold my hand out and stop her. It's more emotional for her, gets her to invest more, etc.

I think it is a better move for me at this point.

Walking alongside enables her to casually dismiss me into the sea of people. Stopping her forces her imagine us really consider my proposal!

(Credit: Krauser from LondonPUA preached this years ago)

Same day lays

I'm going to start seeking a same day lay. That is the vibe that feels most powerful to me right now.

I haven't been strategic or aggressive enough about trying to do that.

I will try to remember the good approaches!

Post: #3030

Giovonny, it's maybe a good sign if you can't remember the exact details of the convo any more.

Maybe, it means you're not obsessively micro-analyzing any more. If your overall vibe and social confidence level has improved your game so much that you are not sweating the small stuff.

Does that sound plausible?

Post: #3031

Was at a charity event last night with 6 guys and there were some D list celebs floating about.

We only stopped in on the off chance to watch another friend who was competing so I wasn't really taking too much notice of the girls, just having a good time together.

I had seen this one gorgeous girl look at me when I walked in and a couple more times I caught her looking and she would look away when I made eye contact.

So later on she was stood watching with a couple faggy looking guys at the foot of a set of stairs and I think what the fuck I'll go talk to her.

I walk over and go to speak to her but no sooner had I opened my mouth than her eyes widened in absolute horrified disgust.

She leaned away from me looking down her nose and curling her top lip as if she just smelled dog shit before scurrying backwards up 4 steps as if to get away from me, never taking her eyes off me or the look off her face!

I could do nothing but smile to myself as I felt my cheeks flush and slowly turned around to see that my buddies had witnessed the entire thing from 8ft away and were bent double struggling to breathe with laughter!

Too fucking funny!

@MediumRare

Did you manage to get your opener out? What was it?

Post: #3033

I was going to ask her why she would choose to stand next to the smelly men's bathroom all evening. I think I finished it but she was already beating a wide eyed retreat.

The reaction was so extreme it was definitely her issue and not me so I just found it funny.

Post: #3034

She had probably interpreted the previous eye contact as you staring or ogling her.

Some girls are like that, even when they initiate it. (unless you spent an hour locked in)

Dude, you need to be less shy and more direct. Hahahha.

I gotta try this playful boldness here. I street approached a beautiful 10 yesterday evening with an elderly opener, directions to a restaurant. She was in jogging attire, with dog in tow and earbuds . She had a no-nonsense businesslike attitude.

She is a beautiful woman out jogging... You approached her with a bland, uninspiring, non-emotional question... (no offense, just saying)

Why would she show any excitement or emotion?

Beautiful women get approached like this everyday.. Boring questions about the weather, directions, etc. They know men do this just as an excuse to talk to them.. They are on guard about it.. Defensive.. That is why they often respond in a "businesslike" manner!

"Elderly" street openers often create an "elderly" vibe and response.

Trust me, I have used "elderly" openers thousands of times.. There is certainly a time and place for them.. But, there is also a time and place for more bold and playful openers

Non-emotional street openers create non emotional street responses..

Emotionally charged street openers create emotional street responses..

Emotion and excitement makes it more fun for us and more fun for them!

"You're sexy as fuck" -- That isn't the greatest line I have ever used but it was fun for me to say and I think it was fun for the girl to hear.. I did get her out on a date the very next night!

Try being bold and playful, emphasis on the playful!

Gio hit the nail on the head with his response above. Have fun with it! Girls are emotional creatures, communicate with them using emotion, not logic and boring openers.

You have to realize that opinion openers like asking about direction or shops or whatever puts the girl in logical/rational state of mind. She has to think now, analyze some facts in her head and act accordingly to the vibe that you introduce to her. So you should expect that kind of reaction if you break the ice like that.

If you can carry out the conversation in general starting with any topic then it's fine I guess cause you will know how to flow from there. Like when you ask a girl about the nearest church and you can turn that topic into some bad shit in your mind that this girl reminds you of that you need to confess to the priest then you're good. The point of openers like those is to break the ice in casual way in order to have a shot to take advantage of her attention and take it further by talking more.

However if you use those because you simply want to hook the girl and you expect her to contribute a lot then this is wrong choice. In this case it's better to throw some playful stuff at her like Gio's saying as that will provoke some emotional reaction. She will be confused, kind of intrigued, skeptic and interested at the same time. Voila, range of emotions delivered. When a girl is emotional she's weak and doesn't think straight. Emotions, whether positive or negative, tell her what's right. That's when you start seducing her. And it's way more fun

So know what you get yourself into when you try this or that.

Left Tesco store and was walking down the street to a bookstore when I clocked a tallish, leggy, sexy and well-dressed mid-twenties girl. She hurried past me and went to Tesco. I went to a bookstore for a few minutes, then left and thought to myself: "if she'd be still there, she wouldn't have been in such a rush really."

I walked back, looked amidst isles. Bingo. There she was, doing self- check out. Next to her was a guy but left quickly, so I grabbed a couple items and used the self-checkout next to hers. She looked and was dressed above what I see normally on the streets in this city. Sported an impeccable make-up, too. I'll be honest - I felt slightly intimidated and shaky. Been a long time since I've done that stuff.

She was almost finished packing up groceries so used a low-key, my go-to opener: "You're not Scottish, are you? Again, bingo. Chick was Canadian. Very friendly. We chatted and left the store together. I was so excited I forgot to take my items, as I realised it later! Failed to have fun and emotions driven chat. Alas, she was easy to talk to, good eye-contact, we learnt about each other some bits and bobs, though she was on a break from work, so I suggested to meet up, she declined, she had a boyfriend. Said she was flattered, though.

Nice approach. Overcame your fear, manned up and talked to the girl. While it didn't lead anywhere it will make the next one that much easier. Way to be vulnerable and put yourself out there!

Thanks Gio, and yes, probably true on the proportionate response, although she was an American of very Northern European (or East Coast) demeanor and ancestry, hence the reaction; a Brazilian or S. European type would be more open to a ramble, and sometimes the stereotypically bubbly California blonde girl, younger slightly buzzed type (like the summertime girls in bikinis, smiling and scampering with surfboards through the crosswalk) would also be more "buoyant". In a bar sidge, I'd be more likely to add a bit of playful energy...

I think I should have added a more interesting ramble to that. I was with my friend wingman and we had just had drinks, and were actually talking about the restaurant and local hot venues....

Did a wine section approach in a drug store that week, too. Saw the classy well-groomed girl driving, probably, her parents' BMW , then later she just appeared in the store. I was in my workout attire after the gym, feeling bubbly (I'm naturally brooding, of Northern European roots). Pretty and petite girl, looked like those I knew in Southern Spain.
Big wine section, like two aisles- anyway, I just said "You should try Rioja, really good, Spanish". She was a bit surprised, said "thanks"...in any case, if she were buying wine , she had to be 21, but she looked so young....she didn't segue into any ramble, or attempt to continue the conversation in any way even after second comment I made about the wine. Shy. American upper middle class/wealthy, not used to older men innocuously approaching her in drug stores...
Got 2 second return eye contact twice from college aged girl in the gym today. But with Iphone and earbuds, how do you break through?

I haven't picked up a girl at the airport until now. Can't say my dream was made true - this would entail getting a bang - but I got a number pre-Christmas Day. It was a busy day at the airport. Here's how it went.

I took an airport connection bus. Halfway through the journey, a sexy, black-haired, with red lipstick on her sultry lips and cute face girl sat down opposite of me. Too bad I didn't make the move until we arrived at the final stop - there were other people, she had her phones on and perused, as girls do, her phone at all times, it was very early in the morning, so I didn't fell bold enough. Alas, when we got off the bus struck up a convo. She was responsive but it was very busy, she had her luggage to drop off (I didn't) so I thought hovering around her would be a bit needy. Should've made a proposition (I think I will employ from now on). If I'm with a girl in a pre check-in area, I will propose a coffee on the other side and grab their number. It would feel like a date, reconnecting on the other side! But I had little time for my flight that day anyway. Of course, I haven't seen her in the departure lounges.

Next was a leggy brunette, looking Russian in the airport security check. As we were putting items on the conveyor belt, I just chatted her up. It's a difficult place, everyone is moving around and I saw just minutes later she was with another girl and a guy. But I learnt she studied business at my university.

After getting into a departures lounge, I clocked a very tidy, leggy, nicely dressed, mid-twenties chick with full lips and dreamy eyes sitting in the area for the departure of my flight. Unfortunately, seats on both sides of her were occupied. But this time luck struck.

The departure gate was changed to the other wing of the airport, and all the passengers walked there. Most people got in a queue but I sat down. Surprisingly, this chick sat down next to me a few minutes later! Now, there was a socket close by that she use to plug and charge her phone so wasn't sure if it was that or she put herself in proximity but it was easy to start convo and chat about everything and anything in particular. We boarded our flight, she was a few rows behind me but I saw her look at me just before departure and winked at her. When we arrived, in the check-out area, I walked slowly and she caught up with me. I noticed she re-applied her lipstick. We started to chat more, and then we waited in the hub for the train.

I made a move I came up with - purposefully, I disappeared for a few minutes to see what she would do. Would she care or just board a train? I saw her looking around for me. A good sign. We boarded the train, I sat next to her, chatted more, her pupils were dilated, and it was ok but, damn, like every girl, she perused her phone. Gave her a talk about people connected but not truly connecting (credit: kaotic) and I think she didn't full grasped it. She was showing me some stuff on whatsapp that she was getting in almost a continuous stream of messages, some sexual in nature, from some dude about whom she said he was a good friend of hers.

I told her I liked her hands and touched them. She didn't recoil, I guess she was pleased with it. I asked about her logistics - she lives out of town but when I suggested to meet up she said she'd be happy to get a coffee. Got her number. She asked what books I'd suggest to read as we liked similar stuff.

Here's the thing. I saw her peruse Whatsapp extensively but the no she gave me (I shown it to her once she typed it to make sure it's the right one) didn't link up with Whatsapp. Nevertheless, I learnt her surname, and found easily on fbk, and setd a brief message I missed a digit from her mobile no. I guess my msg arrived in 'Message requests' folder. Will see.

Copy paste from other thread. Might be helpful.



Today, when I was taking certification classes, I saw a chick giving me strong IOI's (I was the only male in that part of the room). She was standing next to two fatties and talking to them (man and woman).


I saw them as potential cockblockers, so I went to them and indirectly opened all three of them. The fatties gave me Laconic answers, and my target none! Not even a blush or another IOI! They behaved like I was the Grim Reaper asking for their souls, haha.


So, I went back to kill time. And I noticed that she keeps staring and giving IOIs DESPITE everything. But...since I am a Gamer and I have a high value (like most of us here I believe), I concluded that she may be a narcissist - you want my attention (a rare commodity) for free. And this, madam...is not an equitable trade. Therefore...I will not give you any. I will rather keep talking to people and occasioanlly stare at my phone.

Did a few approaches but no dice. Street-stopped a Scottish lass in the midst of roaring crowd, hooked well, made her laugh, alas, she revealed she was waiting for a boyfriend. A drama student... as if it's not enough life drama for these girls!

Talked to a real cutie in a department store, such a nice girl and tight body but she was 16 so bailed. Ah, well.

Saw a tidy brunette (this time not Scottish!) in M&S doing food shopping, came up, opened, hooked really strong, stood in front of me with semi-full basket for a good few minutes, smiling, open body language, eye-contact, her foot forward and pointed at me but... I just realised I wasn't attracted. She wouldn't make a model but lots of guys would be proud to wife her up, yet I bailed out.

Strange, how having tools at my disposal I get more and more picky what I find attractive...

16 is legal in the UK!

Gio, your experiences boost the forum's confidence.

I was in the middle east for two weeks. Went out one of the nights, but the thirst is real. CROWDED with dudes, expensive alcohol (blew 10% of my paycheck in one night, with a group of 7 people). A few rejections, one Korean girl (unicorn in this region) ran away in her heels without even glancing at me.

Tons of Filipinos in the region though, generally chatty and flirty (but I didn't/couldnt close). Arab girls are mad fly but won't give you the time of day unless you have serious SMV.

Strong signs from a friend's younger sister, kino ed a bit when I wasn't being careful and positive response, but I cut that shit out quick because bros first.

Major takeaways - Be grateful for what you have, as bad as it is. Things are worse in a muslim country (exp booze, much more patriarchal state where girls rarely go out) esp (maybe) when most of your race are seen as middle class.

On the plus side all this approaching must be imbuing itself in my behaviour since my friends' girls seem to like talking to me and teasing me. I was never social, or good with banter growing up, so it's massively rewarding to see strong evidence of having improved. Had i started with what I have today, I'd be a 5 star boy on the forum.

Keep on keeping on!

Post: #3048

Well, I was really hesitant to start posting my approaches, as to me they seem dull as hell. But I think I could use the criticism and learn what should have been done instead of dwelling on it.

NYE - Rave organized by a member of different forum looking to meet fellow guys trying to do game in my city. Fell flat but looking forward to the next one he organizes in an actually building. Ok let's try this.

Tattoo babe - TB - chunky HB5 with tattoos on her hips wearing a pink sports bra and joga pants looks like could be freeky and needing it

ME: "Hey, cool tattoo"
Her: "Thanks"
ME: "What is it?" (Its loud, have to repeat a couple of times)
Her: "A dragon."
ME: "Yeah, I am looking at getting a tattoo. I have it in my head, just need to draw it."
Her: "cool"

Walks away

Long Blonde girl - Skimpy corset and panties with long blonde curly hair sitting on a cooler right near the speakers alone

Me: "Hey, that guy with the fire is trippy."
Her: " Yeah"
Me: "How does he do that?"
Her: "No clue"

I walk away this time. I probably had to repeat myself after each line like 4 times since the music was so damn loud. And she just kept looking away and wasn't having it.

This was not a HB, so I am not calling her that. I will call her TBB, or twirling ball buster because she damn near hit me 6 times that night with the balls she was twirling.

ME: "Hey, easy, watch the balls" (hand over crotch)
Her: (laughs) "Sorry, - (rambles on about twirling balls for like a minute)
Me: "Do you know anyone here?"
Her: "YEAH I know...." we talk about who they are for a couple of minutes then, "Who do you know?
Me: "Cool, yeah I know the orginizer"
Her: "Yeah, he's cool, we come all of the time, oh hey meet my boyfriend"

After that I salvage the situation by making this my entry to the crowd of people I don't know. I shoot the shit with guy, force him up to the DJ to ask for the songs he wanted (he was scared) and he started introducing me to the rest of the crowd.

HB6, she was wearing this skin tight picachu pajama outfit which the whole night would make you think "wtf? did I come to a party of 25 year old, or an over blown 14 year old comicon convention?" She's thick, but had some form thanks to the outfit. I eye her and I stand infront of her and light a cigarrette. I wave her over.

ME: "What's up?"
Her: "Do you have an extra one?"
Me: "No, but since I liked Picachu when I was 5, you can share mine"
Her: (smile) "cool"
Me: "Where in the hell did you get that outfit?"
Her: "My father got it for me, for Christmas" (goes on for a minute about it)
ME: "Ain't that a Christmas story..."
Her: (laughs) "yeah... have you ever been to one of these?"
Me: "Not in the U.S., but in Russia I went quite often"
(We talk for another 5 minutes about my travels abroad)
Her: "Oh I came with my friend here" (points at wasted guy in a wool pancho)

Cigarrette ends, they start talking and walk away.

Anarchist - Not horrible at all. You're getting out there and being social, talking to people. Be outcome independent. Not every approach is going to go somewhere (most of them won't). Make the conversations light an fun which it appears your doing.

Post: #3050

Anarchist, when you order your first drink, gauge how loud you have to talk and use that voice all night.

Nobody with tattoos gives a shit about people "planning" to get a tattoo. With them, you're either in the club or a poser.

Also, you're not original enough. Everyone's going to comment on the most obvious things (tattoo, balls, picachu.) you were the hundredth person to mention it all night. That's why they were bored with you. Think of something more original and skip the obvious. This will make you more interesting.

Finally, never dwell on anything. Don't try to justify it. Just don't.
