I'm seeing lots of #s about how many girls are opening you guys on social media but how many non-approach, social media girls are you guys fucking?

I'm still in the "cool tool, but not necessary" camp. At least in china, Instagram isn't that huge so you can get away with being reasonably obscure but having tight game. If china were to go the way of instagram I'd be miserable.

I did notice than 9+ girls seem to care a lot about IG. For me getting 9+ girls is my target,I have plenty of 7s and a few 8s to spend time with. But I felt like suddenly to get to higher quality IG is a strong tool.

Once you realize that you can bang 1000s of 5s and 6s in your lifetime if you want to and you no longer see any value in it and start craving some quality you got to do something everyone else is not doing. Unless you are actually famous, are a millionaire, are a male model, are on top of some narrow niche, IG is a good cheap answer. Still a lot of work to be done, but building 20k+ semi-oraganic followers, dope album IG channel is easier and faster than becoming a millionaire or a professional body builder.

And even if you are a millionaire or/and a professional bodybuilder guess what IG will help to get the word out.

Real story. The local girl I banged in Cuzco last week was a protocol model, she was working on a main square in Inca apparel. A guy approached her to take a selfie and said he was a model. Asked for her Instagram. Before she have seen an IG he was just a goodlooking guy. After she saw 115 million followers and that the dude is professional model who starred in Ricky Martins music clips she INSTANTLY grasped his value.

It was still me who banged her, but I am sure it was not because she did not want him to bang her.

Guess what, it works the same way for everyone. Everyone has value, you just need to learn how to put it in a photo/video format and be INSTANTLY recognisable.

INSTAgram, key word is INSTANT.

Some girls will just not give you time of the day to let you run your game and to hear out your value displaying monologue.
21 century is all about Instant stuff. People want fast food, instant gratification, same day deliveries. Girls attentions spans are shorter than ever, people are lazier than ever. Gotta look for loopholes.

"Sliding in the DMs" which means you get a girls Instagram account and then direct message them is usually a better lead than most phone numbers in LA. They respond more and more openly. A few weeks I was at a bar and spoke for a few minutes to a girl. Did not get her number. She left with her friends but later I looked at the location photos of the bar and find her there. I hit her up, she was amazed I found her and then we chatted for a while on the app.

She is from out of town and I caught her on her way out but when I see she's back here based on photos she posts, I'll hit her up again. Just a new way to connect. You can also restart cold leads just by liking a fee photos, then an innocuous comment on her instagram story (which is like snapchat).

If you have a well curated account (mine kind of sucks) it can only do you good because it portrays you in your best light. If you are a photographer or artsy, it will definitely help.

I wonder how much the nummer of followers means. I've not reached 200 followers, but I don't use any bots. I think it's obvious, when a guy is using bots to get more followers, I've seen quite a few of those accounts, and I wonder if it doesn't look very much like low value when a guy is using bots just to get followers? It does to me at least. Of course if a guy have 115k followers and didn't use any bots or anything he really has a good looking account that many people like to follow.

Post: #31

I used bots when I first started using. Got about 30k followers which are now down to about 10k after they purged accounts. I am transparent and just say I bought them a few years ago, but that comes after a girl sees my account and is shocked at the follower count.

I am certain that I have gotten at least 3 bangs due to my high follower numbers on instagram. It really has a profound effect on a girls initial impression.

You bought followers. These is why the method we use, automation and semi-organic growth is more sustainable. Will take you a year to get to 30k, if that is your goal, but those will be real people. They won't be deleted in mass. These method also gives you access to monetizing if you have a niche.

Bought followers will not click on the links if you are trying to promote something and as I keep saying in an argument buying followers vs using automation software, fake followers won't suck your penis.

This is our exact point Steelex. Its all numbers game at the end of the day and we can get from point-a to point-b in style. BUT the 10 girls that flake or don't respond or whatever to get to the 2-3 notches turns into 7 girls that flake or don't respond to get to 5-6 notches. The amount of efficiency it gives you is retarded.

Joining late to this thread but have seen results lately from a little effort here, despite being in 2nd half of my 30's and someone who is really uncomfortable with the whole pathetic 'selfie selfie' culture developing. So here is my take on it.

You don't have to have stupid numbers of followers to see results, you just need to present the coolest image of you and your life you can.

The way I see it is it allows you to basically peacock to a large number of women who can also then see that you are pre selected.

One of the biggest things for me is the power of Pre selection.

it never fails to amaze me how women (really just people in general) respond differently to basically the same person depending on whether you are pre selected by a group or even by her herself.

I'm my experience, If you are pre selected by a social group then you are a solid option for all the women in the group and even other women outside that group.

And once a woman decides she wants you, she makes it so easy for you, almost no game required. it just skips all the hard work you might have to do if you are an unknown guy starting from scratch.

Had IG about a year now but originally just had a few semi decent pics of me, my kids and any interesting things I'd done. About 30 posts and same amount of close friends/family as followers, no hash tags.

I'v tried to make it more interesting over the past couple months by taking time to get better pics, more thought about the overall image I'm presenting I.e. Portraying the best, coolest version of me (but not going too far creating some fake persona, doing shit for the sake of getting pics/likes)

Also started doing IG direct pics and vids throughout my day if I'm doing 'interesting' stuff.

I'm still only on 150 odd followers and about 100 posts, still a private account but here's what's changed.

I'm getting average girls requesting to follow me from seeing my pics on tinder, whether Iv matched or not.

While we're on it, it works the same on FB too, the more friends I'm getting (and I'm still only on 220 ish) and the better profile pics im posting from IG, the more local girls are going through friends of friends lists and adding me.

A few days later they message me asking if we've met before and I just ask them out for a drink, had 2 or 3 girls off that alone in last 8 months.

Im happy to follow beautiful looking girls in my area because I'm confident my profile is good enough they will follow back and wont see me as just a thirsty no body.

Once they are following, they start watching my IG direct vids and the ones who become interested in me start commenting a lot, obviously trying to get my attention, so again its just game on and I ask them out for a drink from there.

Girls who have gone quiet on you, got a BF or whatever you will let you know they are interested/available again by just start liking pics again out of the blue.

Sometimes, girls Iv previously fucked but parred off even try marking their territory with innuendo comments if they see a lot of girls liking a nice pic of me.

And when I say a lot of girls liking, I'm talking relatively here, like 20 girls from 30-40 odd likes from 150 odd total followers.

So what I'm saying is u don't need stupid thousands of followers to still get results from this, it's just big leverage to what I would otherwise be doing with girls anyway.

EDIT: a recent example.

Had a early 30's decent looking woman randomly add me on FB last year, but lives in Holland! Never spoke to her.

Started following me on IG after I posted a nice IG pic to FB.

Last night sends me an emoji in reply to my IG direct story yesterday.

I say thanks, your in holland right?

She says yeah, only a small sea apart!

I say message me if you ever come to the UK.

She says or u could message me.

I ask if it's an invite to holland, she says yeah you could stay here no problem.

Says she wants a personal trainer and I look like I would do a good job! Crazy face emoji.

Bit more back and forth with her trying to make me promise I'll def go visit her soon.

Just Text me 'good morning' at 6:50 lol

I might even go, a weekend break with free accommodation and a almost guaranteed fcuk.

Large amount of hot girls following you = pre selection.

I never thought about it that way - that is very interesting. That is, real life competition is decreasing by the day. And so much happens in real life that is not communicable over text ("non verbals" etc)

To me, from order of most competition to least:

online - nightgame - daygame

online - takes 0 balls to "slide in the DMs"
nightgame - alcohol and dark lighting
daygame - you're all alone

One thing does not cancel out another. My main use for IG is as a closing tool while daygaming. You still cold aproach and do the ground work. But then you have a wow reaction from a girl after she sees your page. Not a magic pill, just a tool in the box. Definitely DHVing and building trust passively. Can he used as an online dating tool, but nothing beats the good old ballsy cold approach.

Daygame and IG is a very good combination. One of the most non threatening closes too. Every girl wants that other extra followers and falls in a trap you set for her.

First section on my blog is Day Game. Second is Instagram game. But I have been using them hand in hand for the last half year.

I'm not going to disagree with that Vin

but the illusion seems to be that there is an "Instagram game" (only Instagram)

vs. using it with other things

but still, if a girl is going to fuck you, it's probably going to be because of you, not your Instagram..

for example, I stayed in a 5 star hotel in Manila a couple of nights and fucked some girls there but the hotel was more icing on the cake - the girls were gonna fuck me anyway. I believe it to be the same with IG

In other words, I don't want guys getting it twisted and thinking that having a "sick IG page" will make up for 0 game, etc.

Here is what I see you saying in other terms.

You have your value. You being you, how interesting you are as a person. IG is merely a tool to convey this value to girls in a fast and efficient manner.

There is Instagram Game. Which is using Instagram as an online dating tool. And I know it is true cause I have gotten very good results with it.
If something is not working it means you have to go back and work on your initial value.

And there is a bonus of added following. Not a magic pill but it does make a difference.

If your value is high, your album is dope (the way you convey your value with photos) and the amount of followers is high you will definitely notice a BIG difference. If you don't notice the difference once again something is off.

Could it be that you have quite tight game from the beginning and think that your instagram makes more difference than it does? Those girls that you daygamed and then insta-closed then banged, maybe they'd banged you either way?

You can do just fine without that shit. You just have to make a strong impression in person, follow up with some texts, meet up, go to dinner, go home and bang.

Focus on yourself, not social media like every other dude.

Post: #43

I'll just post this for the last time (vs. repeating ad nauseum) and hope that someone reads it

Background: 20k followers, have banged 2 girls off IG that I can remember, banged ~40 girls last year, most from SNL in nightgame (did not even go out a lot). Would consider myself top 10% in game (better than 9/10 guys). Don't think I'm a Casanova but just statistically speaking, have met few guys that can actually get laid

There is no value on Instagram besides looks (unless you are somehow conveying lots of money or status somehow like celeb or Dan Bilzerian game)

Vinny, you are a good looking dude and I believe you've said on here that you are 6'3" - obviously, both of those things make a difference vs. guys who are not as blessed.

Instagram will not really work in the 1st world and Vin you yourself have mentioned that your experience on it has been with 3rd world girls (/thread-57460...d1494217). Not saying that 3rd world girls are worse - in fact, they are probably better both looks and personality wise. I mention that because most people on here are probably living in the 1st world and trying to bang the 5s that think they are 10s, etc.

Why does it work on 3rd world girls? I could go into more detail on this but simply put: competition. An example being Southeast Asia - you have 0 competition there, literally 0 (I'll bet money that we'll see less reports of 100 bangs in Thailand in 10 days in 10-15 years as Asia continues to develop and dudes there start living in homes vs. shacks). In a place like New York, you're competing with guys who are better-looking than you (models, frat bros, etc), richer than you (finance, tech, CEOs, etc), more famous than you, more well-connected than you (top nightlife promoters, etc), list goes on. Your competition in places like Thailand and Vietnam is trannies and gay dudes

When I was in SE Asia, I was getting opened by girls but even without Instagram, girls like that would've been trying to hop on the D

Here are some examples of 3rd world girls on IG:

Vietnam


Chinese


Brazil - only posting because girl like this (~8) usually wouldn't respond to an opener like that in the US



Russia


Thailand


Romania - this kind of girl probably wouldn't even respond to me in the US



Obviously, I did not bang these girls as I am not in Vietnam, China, Brazil, Russia, Thailand or Romania right now.

Now if I were to try and show some examples of me trying to DM girls in the US, there wouldn't be much. Must have sent out like 100+ and only got 1 bang - met up with one girl who wasn't worth the trouble of spending more money on drinks to get her drunk (5 maybe 6), banged one (4 maybe 5 - had to bust a nut). They were both Asian (the group that likes me the most aka I can just walk around in the daytime and get IOI vs. msg on IG). Maybe it's not working in the US because I'm Asian; I don't know. Point is, I started IG thinking it would give me an edge (to get hotter girls - 9+), but it hasn't done that (in the US, or Korea - met up with 1 girl there - 8 - that I can remember, wasn't down for same night). Related note: you can't really tell what a girl is like (her vibe, whether or not she's DTF) from IG, which is important to me. Whereas IRL, I can usually tell within 5 minutes if a girl is going to fuck me within any reasonable time frame.

I just wish the message here was clearer. Like the title of this thread is so misleading. I definitely get the impression guys are thinking of IG as some sort of magic pill - that is, how can I do something online, without getting rejected IRL, but still get girls. It is not, if you don't know what you're doing, you'll struggle on IG just like anything else

Now, I will admit that my results might be better if I had more pics of myself, especially pics of myself that make me look cooler or better-looking than I actually am (using a DSLr or similar nice camera vs. phone camera or taking the one photo of my day where I'm doing something cool like partying at some exclusive venue when in reality I never do that, etc). But I'll say it again, that's not me. This poser culture and wanting to impress other people, caring about what others think, being overly status conscious, disgusts me. But I guess that always was there.

Post: #44

It's a tool, like anything else.

If you use it, learn to use it well. We've got a few SMEs on that, especially Vinny (Instagram) and Blurred Sevens (using professional photos).

But no matter what, if you have no game, your house of cards will eventually fall apart.

Fix yourself, your game, your confidence. Once you've learned enough hard lessons and hold out on your own, decide whether you want to keep doing what you're doing, or see if you can also use instagram to take you to the next level. There's 1001 ways to skin and cat and here on the RVF you can learn about 999 of them.

I don't remember getting in verbal fights with anyone on this forum before, but I have to call you out due to your negativity.
I disagree with you on this one bigly.

IG is a tool to convey value. And not only looks fit in this category.
In yout post yesterday you say that you are broke and not good looking.

Although I disagree that you are not good looking there are a lot of other values a man can offer.

Do you have talents? Can you convey a cool personality. Can you get a niche girls who are into: specific race, specific style, beards, fitness, rock, rap, tattoos, surfing etc. There is got to be something you can offer apart from the amount of followers.You should aim to avoid incongruency (too much followers while having low quality content) especially above 20k followers when people start to ask questions.

I have never tried IG on 1st world chicks, cause I am not interested in them. I banged a chick in NY who has opened me on Instagram and I still keep in touch with her. For her the value of my IG is travel and freedom.

Here is the short list of things I use to convey value: travel (shows that you are adventurous and have money), fitness (videos of working out in picturesque places and generally looking good), music (videos of playing guitar and singing), humour (some of my photos are funny and this conveys my personality), quality of photos (displays creativity), photos with hot girls I was banging (displays preselection), photos with cute animals (girls just love that shit and it builds trust), photos in company of friends (social proof), amount of followers (approval by other, preselection, minor celebrity status). There has got to be something you have to offer.

I keep saying IG is not a magic pill. You have to improve yourself and your game. Which I actively encourage. But it is a good tool that works.

You keep bringing me back to a subject that I am good looking. Thank you. But seems that in this situation you are holding it against me. I honestly see no point in it. Few years ago, I was in an LTR, far from my best shape, with glasses, long hair in a ponytail and terrible style. I was showing my pics to my roomie Cr33pin few days ago and he was impressed with a transformation.

I made a lasic surgery to get rid of my glasses, I improved my fitness significantly, lost 8 kilos, cut my hair and totally changed my style. I upped my photo game as well. What stops you from doing the same. There is more you can improve if you are willing to. Rest are excuses. I know you can not grow taller but you can't see your heights on Instagram.

You might be out of your element in US as it might as well be one of the worst place for Asian guys to game.

Is the point of your message to say that a certain method of game brings worse results in US than in Vietnam, Brazil or Romania? Well this is nothing new. You get good responses in countries with some of the hottest chicks on the planet, you got two bangs off it last year and yet you are not a believer in this method?

You grew your following to an impressive size using the advice provided on our thread, I have even consulted you personally at the beginning of your route. I think you should be happy with what you have achieved and concentrate on improving your existing results.

You changed your IG name since last time we spoke, but I'd be happy to take a look at your album and offer you improvement suggestions.

Saying instagram is compulsory for dating is like saying night game, day game, online game, social circle game are needed to succeed.

The original point is misleading. In the end, they are all just tools. Of course you can get results with each one.

Instagram is one tool I refuse to use because personally, I believe it's investing in creating an online persona to identify with, and it's ultimately an illusion. Some are guilty of this more than others. But I can't get past the nature of the app with its fake smiles, humble bragging, and competition between egos.

This is a good video. It was discussed in depth before on other IG related threads. Definitely something to think about. And think hard.

One of the things which hurts people is looking through their IG feeds. You have to stop doing this. Using automation funny enough is one of the best ways to combat that habit. Your feed fills up with useless shit from random people and you can no longer look through it.

The subject of creating a fake persona is definitely something everyone should be aware off. And it is not only IG or FB. You see people creating personas and trying to live up to it even here on RVF. This is a part of human nature. IG exposes it clearer than any other medium however.

So face your demons and use this tool and not let yourself be used. Like it or not the trend is there. Social media is on the rise.

Use it. Use it carefully. Use it smartly. Practice damage control. Be the contributor not the consumer. Stay real.

If you read the original ultimate IG datasheet, you will see that what got offered is a way to highjack the system. You can ignore the beast or you can crack the code and get some value out of it.

Instagram is not compulsory for dating, yet. But it sure helps a lot if you know what you are doing.

This video gave me an idea for a future blog post - "Damage control while using Instagram".
