Roosh posted a great article today about indirect and direct day game. http://www.rooshv.com/4-reasons-why-i-do...t-day-game

In the last bit he said something that resonated with me, "It’s your duty as a man to try different types of game and then weigh your comfort level with your results."

When making the transition from beginner to intermediate game (as I believe I am now) you can find yourself at a crossroads of some kind, having to make decisions on whether you want/have indirect or direct game or a combination of the two.

What is good about this progression is that, combined with your current knowledge and experience and the plethora of information on the web, you start to find your 'niche' and become competent and decent at picking up women.

Ultimately YOU are the one who gets to decided what to do with all that information on the web about self-development, pick up, game, manosphere, etc. So soak-up all that material and use it on your journey to bang-topia.

Cheers.

He makes great arguments against the standalone compliment as an opener.

The best day game guys seem to weave seamlessly between direct and indirect at first. Mention something that caught your interest, it could be a small compliment, but then continue stacking into an assumption or cold read about her.

Running up to girls and saying "you're so beautiful" will get a lot of the "thank you you made my day" type shit taht Roosh describes. Which is why you can't just leave a direct open hanging out there like a matzo ball, you have to follow up with something else for her to respond to.

For utilitarian purposes, dropping in some direct statements is a way to avoid wasting your time. You'll get some quicker blow outs, but you'll also set the man-woman frame early and put yourself on the path to sex. Of course, going up to girls asking if they want to fuck is retarded. That's why some middle ground is often just the ticket.

Direct vs. Indirect is like choosing between peanut butter and jelly.
