Personally, I didn't like "How to Win Friends & Influence People" much. It got me too much in my head trying to follow a bunch of little rules.

Apparently this guy is running the exact same form of direct game as I am. It fucking works -- happy to see such a spot-on summary of the book.

If you don't mind sharing, what are some of your negative self beliefs? I've had a fair amount of experience in this area, as I'm sure many of us have being humans. All through high school and into college I had a full on phobia of public speaking. I would basically have mini panic attack meltdowns speaking in front of just about anyone; this ultimately boiled down to deep seated negative beliefs. Five years ago, after dropping out of my college speech class, I decided I would face the fear head…

There was a time when I tried to follow countless little rules of acting confident, one of those being perfect posture. It only served to make me constantly evaluate myself and ultimately stress me out. I recommend not constantly self monitoring yourself in this fashion: you will drive yourself slowly insane. What worked for me was not focusing on being confident one bit, simply approaching many, many girls (direct game during the day for me, but to each his own). When you approach a ton of girl…

I was terrified when I first started approaching. As I've said many times in the forums, my main motivation was to get over some social anxiety. What is holding from back from approaching, say, 10 girls tmrw afternoon? If you're in California, I'd be down to give you a day game lesson out in the field some time.

I'm 27. I have a fair amount, but I met an amazing woman (while day gaming haha) about 1.5 years ago and haven't done a single approach since I made it official with her. The truth is, if you have the right attitude and do a few other things (great style and a few basic lines), you can get really good in a matter of days. You just gotta go out and approach, approach, approach it while following a few basic rules.
/r/seduction19/07/13 11:51 PM

No, or very rarely. I can only recall a few times when I approached a girl that was in a large group. Friends are just another obstacle/potential cockblock between you and the girl you want to meet. I prefer approaching one-on-one- a single set/girl during the day time.

agreed. I spent years reading forums and PUA books and all the silly little routines but had very little success. When I switched to direct game, everything changed. My success skyrocketed. The above 'how to' works so well due to what I call the "Prince Charming Effect." Every girl fantasizes about a mysterious, well-dressed, charming man chasing her down and pursuing her. The problem is, there are basically no/very few guys who do that anymore. When you do the above, you're living out one of he…

Run/walk up to a girl you want to meet: state your intentions. "You look stunning in that dress, I had to come introduce myself. I'm mileshigh." Another variation on this that I have found extremely effective is adding some humility/vulnerability in there so she doesn't think you're a *total player: "You look stunning in that dress. I'm about to have a heart attack, but I had to come introduce myself or I'd regret it all day. I'm mileshigh" Shake her hand to show some manners and class, plus it …

Go out alone. I recommend going with Direct game. It is slightly terrifying, but you'll get over your AA fast. Yes, you can approach pretty much everywhere. There were times last year I was running up to 10+ girls in an afternoon: "Excuse me! This is totally crazy, but you are ridiculously cute and I had to meet you. I'm mileshigh." When I first started, I quite literally was near having panic attacks. But after doing direct opens regularly, it became no big deal.

I was walking past a Starbucks and saw a super hot blond reading a book next to a huge window. I typed out on my phone, walked up to the window, and held my phone up to her: "Hey, you are ridiculously cute! I had to come say hi... What are you reading?" We followed with a conversation on our phones. I number closed, took her out a few days later, and k-closed her. That was fun.

"I go after what I want." That's all you have to say. I highly recommend keeping your targets and girlfriends separate (unless a threesome is on the table) as jealousy definitely does happen.
/r/seduction13/06/13 04:05 AM

Basically this. Not hiding your intentions - being bold and going after what you want- is extremely attractive to women. And the "You are absolutely gorgeous, I had to come talk to you" is more or less word-for-word what I open with. It works like a charm.

I started game to help me get over crippling social anxiety. Within a few months of throwing myself into direct game, I went from being panic-attack terrified of approaching, to literally running up to the hottest girls in town to introduce myself. I got pretty damn good too with about an 80% number close rate for each approach. Try this: 1 - Your new goal in game isn't to be successful with women. It's to be completely and utterly comfortable with getting rejected. Next time you're afraid to ap…

Your story sounds similiar to mine. Last year, I went on a crusade to get over AA. I was going out nearly daily running up to girls and introducing myself. Once the AA didn't affect me much anymore, I just kept approaching and trying to up my number close rate. I'd say I got up to around 80% number close on every approach. My take: just work on your number close rate now.

I spent the last 5 years getting over and ultimately mastering what were once panic-attack inducing phobias: public speaking and girls. What I found is you must do the thing you fear most over and over and over again. I spent the last five years in Toastmasters, and today I'm one hell of a public speaker. I was the MC at a wedding a few weeks and and it went truly stunning. That's because I've continually pushed myself to speak in public over these last five years. I'm no longer afraid of it. I …

How are you opening these girls? Last year, I switched to all direct game 100% and my success rate skyrocketed 1000%. I was literally running up to just about every hot girl I saw when I was in public, telling them they looked cute and I had to meet them, and having a brief conversation. I actually started doing this to get over AA, and I found it worked way better than anything I'd ever tried. I highly recommend it.

As YetzirahToAhssiah stated, you get that from being emotionally independent. You get this way by not giving a shit about rejection. Every time you approach a women, make it your goal to be completely and utterly comfortable with rejection. I'm not saying go into the set *trying to get rejected. But that becoming ok with rejection should be your main goal. If you get rejected, you can congratulate yourself and notice how it doesn't hurt that bad. And if you get a number: bonus. When you stop car…

Neediness is directly correlated to how many other options you have in the works. If you have 10 other hot girls that you could hang out with at any given time, your neediness with this particular girl would be close to 0. At that point, you have complete emotional free will. And that's a beautiful thing.

That would work fine. It really doesn't matter what you say as long as you accomplish two things: Girls want a story: this means girls want to meet a guy under exciting circumstances. They want a story to tell their girlfriends. So running up to them and saying, "You're cute, I HAVE to meet you!" does this. I remember once I saw a gorgeous blonde sitting in starbucks. I typed a message out on my phone and held it up to the window for her to read. We had a conversation that way, holding our phone…

It's true that this can startle her coming from behind, but it's not that big of a deal. I do it all the time and it still works fine. I'm not saying that you should always approach from behind, but some times it's the most convenient way to go about it. Getting in front of her is best, I've found, as you noted. One thing that works really well is walking past her, making fleeting eye contact as she walks by, and then jogging back to her a few seconds later. You're still jogging up to her from b…

[Introversion] is just an excuse for shy people feel superior and like shyness is part of who they genetically are. It isn't Maybe not 'shyness,' but studies indicate introversion is a part of a person's genetic and physiological makeup. Paraphrasing from the book "Quiet" by Susan Cain.

Forcing myself to go to bars DID result in me opening sets, but it wasn't enjoyable. I found myself drained after a short period of time. I'm all for challenging yourself; I would say if you're called to challenge yourself and interact at bars and clubs, go for it. I tried it, didn't like it much, so I tend to avoid it. For me, I stopped doing indirect game at bars and clubs and started doing direct game on the sidewalks during the daytime. This allowed me to open single sets and talk one-on-one…

I get the same feeling from the pickup community; that the "frat party boy" or the super dominant, aggressive male is the ideal. I tried that for years and it was putting on an act that wasn't enjoyable or successful.

I can only speak for myself, but I have found that what you described-- day game and one-on-one interactions-- are exactly what has worked for me. For about two years I practiced indirect game at clubs and bars and it was hell! Not only that, but my success was terrible. When I started doing lots of opens during the day time-- all direct opens-- my success rate sky rocketed. I would often open 10 girls in an outing, walking away with maybe 8 numbers, leading to about 4 dates. My advice: consider…

Great point. I think most people automatically pair introversion with social anxiety when that's not always the case.
/r/seduction06/05/13 08:12 PM

Absolutely. Using a label to excuse yourself from challenge and self growth leads to nowhere. But there's nothing wrong with using a word to describe a general preference for things. And even if you do have a preference toward low-stimulation activity: if you want to be good with girls, you'd better learn how to use it to your advantage, because you're going to have to talk to lots and LOTS of girls to get good with them.

You nailed it regarding the venue. That's the main change and realization that has worked for me. Bars and clubs seem so superficial to me. That's about the last place I'd want to meet a girl, but that's just me.

It was 11pm last night and I was considering writing up a more details post-- I went with the "fuck it" route and put the main points. Maybe the answers to your questions will fill in a few blanks: How has being introverted helped you pickup women? As I mentioned, I find large groups of people pretty exhausting, but I do really well one-on-one. I find one-on-one interactions deeper and more meaningful, and I enjoy them a lot. This is one aspect that has been great when picking up women: I run al…

Agreed, initiating kino on a girl you don't know is a risky move that she may interpret the wrong way. Try this, which I did on literally hundreds of girls last year: just start chasing 'em down, and as you get closer, project your voice and say "Excuse me!" She turns around, BAM, you just opened her. It may sound unnatural, but really, it is THAT simple. What is your style of pickup? For instance, what would you open the lady with?

You have some excellent points, and I agree wholeheartedly that being "relaxed and comfortable" all the time is not a valid answer to many. I'm certainly not a great deal of the time. I just recall a few years ago when I set out on a mission to improve eye contact and found it made most interactions feel awkward. My take is, work at it, but don't take it too far.

When I first started game, I would get ridiculously nervous and panicky around girls. I got into game to help me get over social anxiety, so you can imagine what it was like when I went on the few dates I could scrounge up. When I started getting good at direct game and going on dates with new girls frequently, I stopped caring whether I lost one at the wayside. Another fruitful discovery: I stopped giving a fuck altogether and stopped feeling anxious on the dates. The answer to your question si…

My take after practicing indirect game for about three years: it's largely ineffective and a waste of time. Try direct game. I seriously had better results in one day of direct game (once I got good) than in about three years of indirect game. It's kind of sad really lol.
/r/seduction25/04/13 04:58 AM

The whole eye contact thing is way over rated. I seriously got a neurosis consciously trying to maintain eye contact so much when I was actively trying to do it all the time. Far better to just be relaxed and comfortable and then let the eye contact flow from that.

My body language is very direct which is congruent with the direct open. However, I will note that while I'm direct, I deliver it with a certain humility and smile. Think Will Smith in Hitch. Don't overanalyze the eye contact. You want to keep solid eye contact, but you don't want to overdo it. The best way is to learn organically by approaching lots and lots and LOTS of women.

If you don't have a problem pulling her on dates, it doesn't sound like too big of a deal. With my style of game, keeping a level of mystery and intrigue is vital. After I number close the girl, she's thinking: "Wow, I just met a well dressed, smart, articulate guy that had the balls to come up to me. What other secrets does he possess?!" If you are short with the texts, you're keeping this intrique up. Plus people generally want what retreats from them. Staying concise with texts is the way to …

"not looking for cumdumpsters" lol. I've always been attracted to the girl next door type too. I like smart, cute, generally more reserved girls. I also only approach ones that I'm genuinely attracted to because, as you wrote, girls can smell insincerity from a mile away.

The above method is highly geared toward day game. I've tried running direct game at clubs many a time, and it's vastly, incredibly less effective than sidewalk day game. Also, many beautiful women, at least where I live, have NEVER been opened in the direct, confident manner described. It's one thing to say "You're beautiful" and another to look fly as fuck, walk up to a gorgeous girl, give her a sincere compliment, and then introduce yourself. That takes balls, and it's definitely not the norm…

Here's what I do, high success rate. Date #1 is a casual, grab-some-tea-and-walk-around-town affair. If the kino and chemistry is going good, go for the kiss. Date #2, only girls that are attracted and had a good Date #1 will take you up on this. "You. Me. Planet Earth jammy marathon. My place." or "I'm going to watch [awesome movie] tonight. You should join me." And then, a few minutes later: "Some cuddling skills required."

I use my cell phone ALL THE TIME when doing direct, day game approaches. It's also a great way to scope out a target, because strangely, when you're on the phone having a conversation with someone else (or pretending so you can scope out said target haha), society lets your gaze wander in every which direction with no judgement. It's pretty awesome.

You make a really good point here which I did NOT have in mind when I replied to your comment. Reading IOIs is an effective way to minimize the possibility of rejection. I had two K-closes this week that resulted in the girl not kissing me lol. Reading IOIs could have helped me. I will say, I think the more direct your game is, the less you're relying on IOIs and more on your confidence and sheer numbers.

I had a hard learned lesson today on the difference. I direct opened girl #1 very warmly and confidently, telling her she was very cute and that I had to introduce myself. With a smile, I even told her during the open that my heart was pounding. The girl LOVED IT-- number closed like a baus. I think I was feeling like a badass from that number close, because the next set I was TOTALLY cocky with very little warmness.

Pickup is largely about taking risks. Even if you're Casanova, you cannot always predict the behavior of women, no matter how good you are. Top PUAs get rejected ALL THE TIME. Yes, maximize your skills and attractiveness, but rejection is all apart of the game.

Get 10 more numbers in your phone and see if this issue is a problem any more. Your anxiety is directly proportional to how much you have to lose.

Your text game is GOLD, love it + keep it up. But don't stick to text game too long. Set up a date, up the kino, if the chemistry is right (or actually, I pretty much ALWAYS go for it lol), go for the kiss close. Be fun, tease her like crazy, but just make sure you're always naturally escalating physically and emotionally. Attraction is made out to be this super complicated formula a lot of the time. It sounds like you're doing pretty good thus far. Be her fantasy. Make the move.

Based on the studies he mentions in his book, its at least as effective as prescription drugs. I find that practiced regularly, it's very effective.

Asking "screening" questions is one way, basically just making sure she's someone you want to hang out with. If I open a girl and the cat's not purring, I won't go for the number close. And if the girl doesn't come across as someone I'd want to hang out with, I usually won't number close. Be selective. It will show in your game.

They don't have any fancy openers, it's just energy, confidence, and humor. What girl wouldn't want to interact with a guy possessing these qualities?! EVERYONE enjoys being around this type of person. I posed this last week; you may find it useful: http://www.reddit.com/r/seduction/comments/pv3na/insight_to_those_new_to_seduction_or_at_an_impasse/

I see where you're coming from. I admit, I do try to emulate a confident, masculine, direct alpha male. I think just about everyone strives and projects who they *want to be, to an extent. I don't have a problem with that. This community and the main concept behind it, imo, is pushing yourself to become that person that you want to be. There are tons of overweight, unconfident guys pounding the pavement, talking to beautiful women so they can reach this goal. In the grand scheme of things, it al…

Stop being afraid of hitting on girls. They WANT you to flirt with them. What increased my success about 1000% was the day I decided that I was no longer in this to be successful with women, and that my new goal was to learn how to be completely and utterly ok and comfortable with getting rejected. Suddenly, that gorgeous blonde walking down the sidewalk was my greatest tool in achieving this outcome. Your skill level will organically get better with this mindset. Do you know how many set I got …

Sidewalks. Sidwalks. Oh, and sidewalks. And while I'm at it: I pulled a gorgeous HB8.5's number at the gas station the other night. And aside from that, bookstores, cafes, and ANYWHERE there are girls. Actually, "ANYWHERE" is my final answer.

Effective day game. You can build a ton of attraction in under 60 seconds, if you do it right. Yes, it's really this simple: Walk up, must appear spontaneous and authentic "Excuse me, you are amazingly cute and I had to meet you come say hi and see what you were like. I'm mileshigh_23" "Awesome, so what are you up to today?" "Sweet, well we should hang out some time. How can we make this happen?" "Oh, good suggestion. Ya, let me get your number."

Thanks man, it's come after a great deal of both failure and success. Of course, this is an art, so I'm sure there's a million variations on the above techniques. But I gotta say, the above usual work pretty well from my experience.

Also, don't overthink this too much. There's no magic formula of attraction. The best thing you can do is go out, get tons of numbers, and organically learn this through trial and error. I got rejected tonight by... a lot of women during Direct Opens. I could care less because it boiled down to two number that may go somewhere. And if those numbers don't: NEXT. So don't fret over this one girl too much.

On a side note, if you haven't built a lot of attraction with a girl, it's very doubtful she would answer her phone. This is an eternal debate in this community, but I personally prefer texting over calling in the beginning much more. You can text her anything witty or humorous up until then. After the number close, I usually just txt the girl the next day setting up a date, otherwise the attraction starts to wear off. Also, even if you have just a half hour of free time Friday, that's perfect f…

I go out alone ALL THE TIME. I actually kind prefer it. I gotta say though, I don't like going to the bars or clubs alone. When I sarge alone, it's all about sidewalk, cafes, bookstores, and so on. Just be super positive and go meet people. Don't be afraid to hit on girls.

One of the keys to pickup, imo, is that it is a numbers game in large part. Spending too much time on one girl tends to make a guy less confident than he could be. So here's my take: give it a shot, but if the cat's not purring, don't pet it. A text I have very good results with to pull dates after a number close: "Me. You. Frozen yogurt. 8:30pm. Tonight." "Txt 1 for ABSOLUTELY! or 2 for OMGYESSSSS!!" If she's not biting after than, NEXT. Godspeed.

Solid attraction is definitely possible in 45 seconds. If that wasn't the case, the HB8.5 number close I pulled last week wouldn't have turned into an f-close a few nights ago. The method I'm talking about is very direct. It's basically what Paul Janka and some of the most confident naturals run. Simple Pickup has a similar style, but they like to stay in set a bit longer and focus on humor during sets. You're playing into every girl's fantasy of meeting that dashing, well-dressed man on the sid…

You have a good point on the quality of the number. The thing is, I don't see him building that much attraction in the sets. If he can build solid attraction in 20 minutes, awesome. If I can build solid attraction in 45 seconds, I'd much rather do that. To each his own.

The framework above is pretty much all I do these days. Indirect game wasn't cutting it as far as results go. Also note: this is pretty much what Paul Janka and the guys from Simple Pickup run. Results are fairly solid but do take work. Out of 10 numbers, typically ~4 dates will come of it. Out of the 4 dates, 2 k-closes and 1 f-close. Of course, you need some solid game after the opener.

It depends on what kind of end goal you want. I can't exactly feel out the situation from a few paragraphs of text. If you go for the move, she'll either friend-zone you or go along with the seduction, in which case she could end up being much more than a friend. You've got to feel the situation out and go with your gut. Also remember, light kino is a good place to start. If you're not getting the IOIs from some back rubbing, then don't advance to the next step. She'll give you the signals wheth…

You're currently in unknown waters with this girl, so you want to build up from very light to heavy kino. Check out the Dicarlo Escalation latter.

It's almost a "caressing" motion, like gently guiding her. The next time, I'll do it but for longer. Now here's the take-away: you go from less intimate kino to more intimate, an…

My game is all about the numbers, and of course, running as tight game as I can manage. 10 numbers will usually equate to 4 dates. Out of the 4 dates, about 2 will lead to a k-close. And out of those 2, 1 will lead to an f-close. That's why consistently pulling numbers is the basis for success. It takes work, but it's fun work.

Not quite that much of a squint. It's more like just relaxed eyes. If you go to the mirror and practice smiling with absolutely zero eye relaxation/squint, notice how "deer in the headlights" you will look. Now try "smiling with the eyes" as you smile with your mouth. They close a bit and it makes everything seem nice and natural. Just use google image search and check out people smiling. The reason why they don't seem so deer-in-the-headlights is their eyes.

Direct opens do align with the "how about some dick" concept. The thing is, women WANT the dick from a high value guy. Beautiful women get hit on a lot IN BARS by drunk losers. When you look fly-as-fuck and walk up to a woman in a venue where her defense is down, you come across as the biggest badass that's ever talked to her.

When I first got into this about three years ago, I was into scripted Mystery Method openers. Now I run almost entirely direct game, mostly during the day.

I spent about two years doing indirect "Mystery Method" type openers. Lately though, much less often. Even at a bar, I'll just walk up to a girl, be super fun, and say things like: "You look fun, I had to come talk to you" "I've had a crush on you for years" "So, what's your favorite pokemon?" There is definitely a place for indirect openers, but I find them less and less appealing the more direct my game gets.

Attraction is largely a numbers game. I consider success with women 50% getting-the-fuck-out-there-and-actually-approaching and the other 50% is the skills you learn in the community. You simply need more of the former: more numbers in your phone. If I had one target I'm currently chasing, I would be needy too. Instead, I got two numbers tonight and a handful of girls on the side.

Is he going around trying to start conversations? No, he's going around being playful and the life of the party, busting girls' balls, and so on.

Also, if there's an ounce of un-genuine-ness during your approach, she'll sense this. For instance, I've failed many times when casually and cooly telling a girl she's cute. But when I jog after passing her on the sidewalk, or run across the street to meet her, she knows I'm the type of guy that goes after what I want. "Excuse me! You are really cute. I just had to come say hi and meet you. I'm mileshigh_23 :D" Hold your hand out for her to shake.

"Hi, you're cute, what's your name?" YES. You have just answered your question. There is nothing wrong with a direct approach like this. In fact, during the day, this is just about the most effective style of attraction you can run. Cause really, WHO does this?! Only a confident, badass... and she knows it. I base my direct game style on Simplepickup on youtube. But I've made a bunch of variations that seem to improve the technique for me. Now go get 'em!

You can't win over every set. In fact realistically, the chance of success (ie: number, f-close, whatever) is statistically low. I say fuck trying to avoid the obstacle. Instead, reframe it so that getting blown out or politely excused is now your goal. That's how it is when I go out pulling direct game: my goal is to get to the point where rejection means nothing. In that respect, I approach 10X as many sets as I'd do otherwise which provides the most organic social growth I can think of.

Two bracelets, a thumb ring, a rolling ring on the right hand, pierced ears, and a simple silver necklace. This SOUNDS like a lot of jewelry, but it's not gaudy jewelry at all and would be hard pressed to notice at first glance. I also found girls were way more receptive after I put the small studs in the ears. If it fits in with your style and what you want to portray, go for it. It's not what you do, it's how you do it.

I get rejected ALL.THE.TIME. But on the other hand, my success rate is about 600% higher than it was when I wasn't approaching. 6 months ago, I hated rejection. It was causing me to not sarge very often at all. Then I took a new attitude of: "My primary objective is no longer to succeed with these women, it is to become immune to rejection." That flips the game up on its head completely and takes the pressure off approaching.

I'd say outcome independence is definitely attainable. It's attained when you don't care about outcome which is a direct result of your intent/goal. If your goal when sarging is to bang hot chicks, then it's going to be much more difficult to reach outcome independence-- there's a very real probability that you're not going to be banging the chick in each set. But if your goal is to get rejected until rejection doesn't hurt anymore, then you've just hacked your brain right there. Getting rejecte…

Dude, I had a girl say pretty much the EXACT SAME THING to me two weeks ago. She told me I was quite possibly the "smoothest" guy she's ever met in her life and that she's madly attracted, but I was "too" smooth and it didn't seem completely natural. I've since made a few changes that show a little tiny bit of vulnerability and humility. I think being overly confident all the time doesn't necessarily maximize attraction.

Are you sure she wasn't on her period? I've had similiar experience that I later found out were caused by her being on her period and didn't want to fuck. Also, seduction skill can help you maximize your f-close potential, but it's not a magic bullet that always drops the panties. In this case, if it wasn't the period theory, i'd put it on not building enough comfort.

Fuck that. Height has very VERY little to do with your game. It's all in your head. Learn to master that, and you're golden.

OP, I admire your tenacity and effort. First things first: you're not building enough attraction, otherwise the 80 numbers would have produced better results. How are you approaching, with what openers, and material? I have TOTALLY been in the "this fucking sucks, I hate indirect game" phase. I switched my game to mostly direct (simplepickup on youtube is some good stuff), and I feel like my game and passion for game has increased about 10 fold. My first direct opener on an HB8 two days ago resu…

True true. I have nothing wrong with getting a call girl, you gotta be careful going to Mexico for that, mang. Why not get a hottie American girl with a slightly lower chance of getting herpes? Stick with this community and you'll be banging cuties in no time.

Here's my take: you can do whatever the fuck you want in game if you have the right attitude, but roughly speaking, it's probably going to hurt you more than help you. The exception to this would be if you get really serious with a girl and start to genuinely fall in love. Being a virgin isn't something to be ashamed of, but it does tend to indicate that you haven't been successful and "preselected" by women in the past. That is, typically, considered a DLV. Hottie: "Omg imntodavid, you know jus…

I've dealt with anxiety for much of my life, much of it being "stage fright" kind of anxiety when speaking in groups or to certain people. Freshmen year of college, after dropping out of my public speech class, I did a "fuck this" and started throwing myself at things that terrified me. I ended up starting the speech club on campus, serving as governor of the county Toastmasters organization, and got into PUA. I'm still a far ways away from where I want to be, but PUA is one of the biggest forms…

I'll have to check out Blueprint Decoded. I gotta admit, I've been trying to lay low on the "systems," but if you say it's gold, then maybe it's worth it. Once I started doing direct game, I feel like my overall game has turned much more natural. Going through all the steps, routines, DHV spikes, negs, and DQs is enough to make your head spin... But I will say, direct game does have a place and can definitely be effective, it's just more complicated than I like.

Totally agree. I spent waaaaay too long as a reader and keyboard jockey. Best to just GET THE FUCK OUT THERE and start approaching with the basic principles. And those basic principles can be learned in about 20 minutes with a google search.

I've read more "systems" than I care to admit. Every single guru has a different formula that seems to be the polar opposite of the next guru's. Here's my take: if you want to get some basic ideas on opening and attraction, do a google search. There's a ton of free material online. Much better to get out there on the sidewalks, campuses, bars, and clubs. Just start opening. Make it your goal to become unafraid of rejection. If your goal is to fuck hotties right away, you may be in for a sobering…

Good point, though I've noticed just about every girl is on to indirect game now-a-days XD Not like it really matters. If she's attracted, she'll go along with it.

The hottest girls know they're hot, but no, unless the guys are drunk, they are very rarely direct opened. Just an example: my sister is gorgeous, but I don't believe she's ever been direct opened in her ENTIRE LIFE.
/r/seduction21/12/11 01:49 AM

That was a "functional" opener. Usually functional openers- like asking for directions, the time, or info on hot springs- aren't too effective unless you properly transition off the opener and onto a new string of conversation. The above opener worked great for the girl I ended up dating, but then again, she was brand new to the area. Just about any opener probably would have worked as she was dying to meet people XD but it still worked

You have to be high value for this to work, imo. Good thing is, only high value guys do direct approaches. Doing a direct approach is a huge DHV! If you look awesome and are funny, you're golden.
/r/seduction20/12/11 04:13 PM

I'd say that's my finding thus far: direct is GOLD during the day, slightly less effective for night game.

"Hey, let me get your take on something! I'm headed out with some friends later to the hot springs in Malibu. I've hear they're awesome, but I've never been. What are they like? blah blah, how much are they? Oh my god, you are a trouble maker, I can tell." That was a pretty lame example, but it still got me a previous girlfriend haha.

Maybe that's how it works for you, but putting a limit on either direct or indirect is going to put a limit on your game, imo.

That was good, man. I'm using it.
/r/seduction20/12/11 04:04 PM

I have to disagree there. Not blatantly hitting on the girl is a core aspect of indirect game, at least the type that most of the "experts" teach. It s the "not showing attraction to her until she shows interest first" part. I'm talking Mystery Method, Annihilation Method, and about 95% of the other "methods" out there. Direct game, on the other hand, is as blatant as you can be.
/r/seduction20/12/11 06:24 AM

Totally agree with this. You are the prize. Asking a girl when she's free is instantly raising her value and lowering yours.

I'd say there's a slight negative public perception of meeting someone online. Fact is, it doesn't necessarily mean you're beta, but there do tend to be a lot of beta males on there. If you're an Alpha male badass, you're just working the system for even better results! Try this: with the girls I've met online, once I get to know them I'll usually joke around about how we should say we met doing the most wildly awesome thing ever. "Hey, we should totally tell people we met at a masquerade party.…

Ramp up the kino waaay faster, imo. If you're making out with her at the jazz place, she's much MUCH more likely to want/beg to go back to your place. GREAT JOB on getting these girls to go to these places, but if major comfort and attraction was established, I think this would be a null issue.
/r/seduction17/12/11 08:56 AM

What works for me: You (generally) don't try to fuck a girl after meeting her 10 minutes ealier. You have to build up some attraction and comfort. Likewise, it's the same with online dating. You don't go for the Day 1 until you've built up that level of attraction and comfort. So.... tease her and show your value through DHVs. THEN go for the phone number. Don't ask her to hang out over a private message. Try this: "You seem like someone I can trust, so here's my number: 867-5309. Txt me so I ha…

There are two major philosophies in the PUA scene: direct and indirect. Indirect game is where you DO NOT let your intentions known to the "target" at first. In other words, you open her with a random question that ellicits interest in her: "Hey, let me get your take on something. My buddy and I are trying to decide what the difference between hot and cute is. What do you think?" Then you go through various stages of building attraction and value through humor, DHVs, stories, social proof, and s…

Way to go, man! I get a rush from talking to random strangers too. Before I go out chasing skirt, I warm up by talking to anyone and everyone: old people, hired guns, random people on the sidewalk, wandering backpacker/homeless people haha. Way to go, keep pushing yourself.

I once did an experiment on okcupid by creating a fake profile for a super-cute blonde college girl. Her pic was fucking ADORABLE. As I recall, within the first 8 hours, I had around 40 private messages. EVERY-SINGLE-MESSAGE was just sad, rambling messages. It made me feel incredibly sorry for the girls that have to deal with all these creepy, illiterate, needy guys. And it made me very happy, that my competition is so terrible XD

Could this be a contributing factor to why I have so little success with the opposite sex? -short answer, YES. Let me repeat that: YES! You can have all the game in the world, but if you're not escalating physically with the girl, you're going nowhere. The thing is ramping up physicallity very slowly. Kinda like heating her up to being physical. Check out the dicarlo escalation model for an idea.

I have had a huge paradigm shift over the last few weeks which brought my AA down a lot. For about two years, I practiced indirect game just enough to get me a decent lineup of f-buddies, but it was always so damn difficult to go up to sets asking stock-opener questions. And really, the success rate is really, REALLY low unless you're good. I'm starting to go direct almost entirely. Watch the guys from simplepickup on youtube. The direct opens, for some reason, don't intimidate me nearly as much…

You have a lot of good points in here. I especially identify with the "honesty" part. One of the landmarks of the AFC is that they're never honest, they're always putting on this polite, not-wanting-to-offend-anyone bullshit. That's basically the antithesis of attraction, imo. On the other hand, being honest with the girl about how hard you're going to fuck her, and being assertive in your wants and desires is very attractive. Way to go on the f-close. Leave her better than you found her ;)

If you have solid game, clothing won't matter all that much. Look at the guys from simplepickup. Ya, they can look fly, but in most of their videos, they dress very casual, nothing out of the ordinary. The don't-give-a-fuck attitude is more appealing than the clothing. The clothes are only going to add that extra boost of credibility and value, imo. So ya, dress good, but work on your inner game above all.

Go down on the girl for 20 minutes, and learn how to get GOOD at it. I doubt she'll have any complaining after that! Other than that, just slow it down if you think you're going to... well, you know. Speed usually equals sensation.

The facebook things was a bad move, but you already know that. If it were me, I would have bounced to an insta-date right after the bar and upped the kino quick. If I didn't foresee a successful insta-date, number close. Call and text flirting, day 2, and so on. To answer your question: I would probably cut my losses and let her approach me if she wants. Don't chase, replace. Approaching *might work, but you've probably already lost a fair amount of value from the facebook thing. But no worries,…

I read How to Win Friends and Influence people, but I found myself trying SO HARD to live by the principles in the book, and I think it just came across as try hard. Yes, there are definitely some killer lessons in the book, but for me, I find being liked isn't such an easy formula. It's funny, some of the most likeable people I know hardly portray any of the principle outlined in Carnegie's book. My brother, for instance, is very well liked by just about everyone, but he goes about his life uno…
