Hello fellow Sydney-sider - I've been into the city most New Years... Darling Harbour (and the first of the waterfront) is not a place you want to be since you literally cannot move... think about the most packed club you've ever been in. Better to stay in the club you have tickets to (Cargo? Pontoon?), I think you'll have better luck there. The rest of your strategy sounds pretty good though :)

The vast majority of comments in that thread seem to say it's bad advice. Having scanned the article myself, it seems to be strategy rather than tactics. Like "arrive early" and "find a drunk girl". It doesn't get into the nuts and bolts about how seduction/pickup actually works on NYE.

It gets easier! Both with time/age/experience, which allows you to better control your emotions and mental processes, as well as hormones, which right now are likely driving your every thought. It's a struggle, but practice discipline where you can, take practical steps to separate areas of your life, and remember to think about the long game -- better to work on the assignment now, since there will always be girls about. A few practical tips: Separate areas of your life. When you study, do it i…

Shared experience, man. It's a great idea for a day 2. How about biking to a location and sharing a picnic? Hell of a lot better than meeting for coffee.

Are you interested in this girl? If so, what are you worried about? To answer your question just don't reply to texts for extended periods (an hour or two), and/or reply with short responses which don't lend to the conversation. The real killers are simply responding with "lol", "haha", "ok", and "cool". Be careful with these, though.

There needs to be an element of 'need' (to stop them) Meaning, for you to do something so deliberate as to stop someone walking in the street, there should be a reason (a need) that you did so. For example, they dropped their wallet, they're about to walk into a manhole, or "you're really cute, I had to come and say hi". Stopping someone just to have a casual chat is a little weird.

But you don't go around giving gifts to random people, right? Only the people you care about, who mean something to you. And does a girl mean something to you just because she is attractive? Is that all it takes for you to give someone a gift? Over-analysis aside, I do actually use your mindset when I see a tall girl. Since I'm 6'4", I immediately take the mindset "this girl wants to meet me". So I guess you have something here. I just need to figure a way to extend this to all girls.

You and I are on exactly the same page -- the problem for me, and the reason I'm posting, is that I don't have the chance to run/meet people in day to day life. I don't have much of a social circle (by choice), I generally shop online, and my gym happens to be mostly gay men (seriously, there are no chicks there). So your approach, which I love, and completely agree with, simply doesn't work for me. If we stick with the metaphor, I don't have any soil! But there are plenty of seeds out there, I …

That's fine for checkout chicks and shop attendants. But for stopping a random chick on the street 'just to flirt' doesn't really sit right. There needs to be an element of 'need' (to stop them) which doesn't relate to a deficit in your life (i.e. lack of sex, girls, relationships). I guess I'm talking about indirect game... but is it possible to be direct considering these points?

Completely agree, but I'm not questioning the need to advertise -- but rather about how to congruently advertise. A male who is entirely content with everything going for him doesn't need to advertise, right? A male who has so many girls in his life doesn't need to risk anything in order to get a girl -- he already has them lining up! So how does that male do day game in a congruent way? I'm thinking indirect, even though established best practice to to be direct during the day...

You're probably not "very little body fat" at that weight unless you're on the juice. Take it from someone who was 6'4" 230lbs once upon a time. Now sitting closer to 195lbs which is ideal. Super lean and full abs is definitely a better look, and you'll be less intimidating. What do you wear? I used to wear a lot of dark aggressive clothes (leather jackets, boots, etc). Try mixing it up and see what works for you. Variety is nice even if it isn't perfectly suited for your personality. Have you t…

I think it depends mostly on the angle of approach, and how busy/safe the area is. If you can approach from the 45 degree angle and the area is well-light and/or busy/safe (like right in front of a store) then you can probably pull it off. You might like asking yourself "what would Style do?" or whoever you favorite PUA is... if you can imagine them pulling it off then go for it.

This is such self indulgent wank material. Yes, I get it, you have a 'binary' system, so fucking rad. But guess what? So does everyone else! That's what it is when guys say "I'd hit that" or "she's definitely fuckable". Meanwhile, the 1-10 scale is actually pretty fucking important for determining how best to approach a girl.

Grocery stores are really good, actually. Here are a few really easy openers: Ask for advice - standing in front of pasta: "excuse me, I've never really cooked pasta before... which one do you use for a meaty dish?" Comment on something she's looking at - whether good or bad: "oh you should definitely get that one, I tried it last week it was delicious" or "that one is terrible! you should definitely try this one here, I had it last week and it was so amazing" Take it a step further with classic…

Second of all, I'm a little insulted you think I'd abuse my power that way. I have no way of seeing who flagged him and I'd be a hypocrite for calling him lame but then moving in on a girl he "opened". I thought the message you were sending was going back to the person who reported it...? If not then I take back my first point, obviously you're not trying to move in on the target if the message was just going to other mods! I'm also greatly on the fence about this stuff when I see humorless guys…

The problem here as you stated is that -Antrix- needs the backup to approach. Your solution however doen't deal with this problem but instead tries to recreate the social situation that -Antrix- feels comfortable with. He doesn't need the backup any more than a toddler needs training wheels on his bicycle. They initially provide safety but before long they are completely redundant. It's only the mindset that needs updating. I'm recommending the OP toughs it out by taking a leap of faith to disco…

Judging by the pic you were at XS at the Wynn/Encore. That place is insane... ridiculous girls everywhere. The only problem with XS (and this reflects a general problem with clubbing in the US, and especially Vegas) is that there are waaaay too many tables, and all the hot girls seem to get there eventually because of the free alcohol. I respect that the guys at these tables are playing the same game as us (except they're paying $2k for the table) but damn... very frustrating.

I can only pick up chicks when I'm around other dudes. Because of two things: You have a safe base to work from. Your bros have your back in case any shit goes down, so you feel much safer pushing the boundaries. Think about it in military terms (fair analogy) -- it's a lot easier running up a sand dune to shoot at the enemy when the platoon HQ is just behind you, right? You have something to prove, whether it be to the AFCs or the Alphas. The motivation to show how good you are and lead the men…

You're a mod, so your job is to moderate -- not judge people and then try to pick up a hot girl by showing off your knowledge of a subculture (which is what you were trying to do, whether you admit it to yourself or not). Why are you hating on a guy who is trying to learn the same material that you are? He comes from the exact same place as you, and he's trying to improve himself. And for that you call him a "lame dude"? Furthermore, why blur out his photos but then not censor his username?

So let me get this straight... you've read HUNDREDS of biographies and you still don't understand what makes them tick? Good Lord... Napolean Hill wrote the classic Think and Grow Rich after learning from around 50 men. I'd recommend you hit up the self-help section or check Amazon for the best rated self-help books on success. Success (as you've correctly noted) is based on ambition, self-confidence, determination, and motivation. The tools are out there... Jack Canfield's books have been the b…

This may not be happening right when you're trying to seal the deal, but you're still talking about ASD & LMR. There is a mountain of reading material on both things, just do a google. Basically, she's saying this because she's feeling guilty, or she think's you're going to judge her, or she thinks things are moving too fast... or whatever. You need to ACKNOWLEDGE her feelings, take responsibility, and lead things forward. In this situation, simply saying "I know" achieves everything you need to…

Not a bad method. The old school method is repeating their name over and over in your head (like 10x) while looking at them -- to create a mental association. But this is difficult in set because you need to keep talking (especially at the beginning) and it might not be positively received if you're staring directly at them while silently mouthing their name to yourself. My personal way of remember names is to write them into my phone ASAP. This is especially important if you see them later in t…

Short term, I think you'd be best with indirect approaches. Opinion openers would work pretty well, I think. The problem you face is getting past their initial reactions -- that's why indirect approaches exist. If you go direct she has to choose immediately whether she sees a future with you -- but with indirect, you have a chance to sell her on your awesome personality before she comes to make that decision. So use indirect openers and see how you go -- don't forget to qualify. That is going to…

Dude, gym game is not any different from normal game, despite what people in this thread seem to be saying. There is nothing inherently "creepy" about talking to a girl in the gym (although your opener is a little creepy if we're honest). The real issue at hand is not shitting where you eat. If you see this girl every time you're in the gym do you really want to go after her? Could be awkward if you bomb. My advice would be to approach her as indirectly as possible to gauge her reaction.

FTC = false time constraint. You're telling them you're leaving in a second, which a) makes you and your time seem more valuable and b) doesn't make her freak out that you're going to be standing there all night. Body rock = your body language rocking away, making it appear like you're about to leave. You know how when your aunt/boss/some random is just about to launch into another boring fucking story and you kind of turn your body away and take a step or lean to signal YOU WANT TO FUCKING LEAV…

Nice text... but I strongly disagree with this (sorry). I'm not discounting that it worked a couple of times -- it would depend on the girl -- but it is seriously flawed on a theory level. Not to sound like too much of a dick but I doubt it would work on an HB (the type who has guys chasing after her all the time). A girl flaked on you -- that means she is not sufficiently interested in even basic interaction. By sending the above email you are communicating: You thought about her. You're thinki…

Opening on a train is difficult in any culture since the girl doesn't have an escape route. That can make the interaction a little awkward since there is more pressure on both of you to not create a very awkward situation where you have to sit next to each other after a rejection. Korea is going to be more difficult. Firstly, Koreans are racist (as I'm sure you're aware), so the girl might not respond well simply because she's worried about what others think. Secondly, if the subway is a quiet z…

Go to high end bars/clubs where fights don't happen and the girls are hotter. Problem solved. I've had a few altercations -- nothing serious -- but I generally stand my ground. Stay really relaxed (body language & voice) and don't escalate and you'll be fine. The other benefit of being a regular at a high end club/bar is you get to know the bouncers, and they'll come to your defense. I had a "fight" with a chick once (the only time I actually took a punch) and she (being drunk) fell over when I …

No probs man. I want you to succeed, so here's your opener. Replace with your indirect opener of choice: "Hey let me ask you a question real quick -- I can only stay a minute because my buddy is DJing tonight [body rock] -- but who lies more, guys or girls? <girl answers> omg I can't believe you think that! blah blah blah blah" Indirect + FTC + body rock + DHV (in the time constraint) + disqualify her answer.

If you don't set any goals then it's difficult to create success. This isn't just for pickup, this is for everything in life. "Running game" doesn't mean asking girls to dance or starting a conversion. It means using the proven methodology to get results. It's easier to be natural, but then you might as well not be on this subreddit. Next time use an indirect opener, coupled with a false time constraint & body rocking, and DHV & neg/tease/disqualify within 30-60 seconds of conversion. Do that fo…

Not this time, I went home alone and I felt it. I was too tired to try talking with some girls outside and a little down about how I got zero numbers tonight. I just wanted to go home and put on the next episode of Sherlock and drink a beer. I know exactly how you feel. Upon reflection, maybe you can you ask yourself a few questions: Did you set yourself any goals for the night? Did you approach a decent number of sets? Did you run any game whatsoever?

Call her. And use as much call back humor (and whatever else you can remember) to make her remember the emotion she felt at the time she met you. Frankly, one month is a LONG time to leave it for a girl you met once. Don't be surprised if she's forgotten you or doesn't want to bother talking to you. On the other hand, she might be happy you called. But this kind of interaction can't be calibrated over text so it's probably best you dial.

The opener was a bit weird. You noticed her and you had to know her name? Does that happen to every person you notice day to day? What actually happened was you saw her, thought she was cute, and you'd be kicking yourself the rest of the day if you didn't go and say hi to her. That's what you should have said, because it correctly and honestly articulated your feelings at that time. But that's all in the past... now you're in damage control. There are a couple of options, assuming that she will …

I hate to say it, but 18 is far too young for you. There are plenty of great girls out there who are more appropriate for your age. What the fuck is this shit? "Appropriateness" is a social construct; a state of mind. If two people are attracted to each other (and legal, of course) then that's all there is to it.

I'm 6'4" and had shoulder length hair when I visited. Although you get the odd person wanting to take a photo with you (especially in the tourist areas -- people from other parts of China visiting the big city for a holiday) I didn't feel like I was noticed.

I'll speak for Shanghai since that's where I've been. As a tall white guy myself, I think you'll be surprised at how little you actually get noticed. I'll also say that the venues you'll probably be going to will almost exclusively be made up by western tourists and the models who are stationed in the city. Any local Chinese who are there will be of western values so that isn't something to worry about. If you're thinking about street game then I hope you speak good mandarin, because English isn…
