First, I'd just like to say I know I am not an expert, but I had such a great time the last two nights that I thought I'd share my experiences to hopefully push some guys here to get out and show the world what they got! I know this is really long, but read it if you have time.

About a week ago I decided to download the audiobook No More Mr. Nice Guy. Even though I thought it applied more to guys in relationships, it taught me to stop thinking of girls like they are these magical creatures that we always have to prove ourselves to. From there I downloaded The Game by Neil Strauss. I listened to it in its entirety all day Thursday at work and my mind was blown. I had always thought I was a confident person, and this book just gave me the tools to put that confidence to work.

Thursday night came along, and instead of normally staying in for the night because of work the next morning, I told myself I didn't need to drink and I was going to go out anyway. I called up a promoter buddy of mine that I knew would be going out and asked him to put me on the guest list. No pre party, just walked right up to the club by myself.

I had made it my goal that night to talk to as many people as I possibly could. I was still a little nervous at this point, but I approached everyone with the same "female opinion opener" that Neil used in the game. 1 sets, 2 sets, 3 sets etc. It all seemed to work for me. I had great conversations with everyone. I came to realize that the HB8s and HB9s were just as easy to talk to as the HB6s, they were just prettier thats all. I knew it was time to leave the club when I had gone full circle and approached a girl with the same opener I had used on her earlier in the night. I had pretty much made it a point to talk to every girl in that place and I had done it. I got rejected every once in a while but I didn't let that hurt my confidence.

As I walked home, I was gleaming with excitement. It wasn't until I got home that I had forgotten to number close even a single girl in the place. I must have looked like a kid during Christmas running around the bar looking for the next present (set) to open up, totally forgetting the main reason of Christmas (close her!).

As I worked the next day I thought about the night before, and what I could do to improve. So I decided to go out again, this time I decided to step back and carefully choose who to open, and by golly what a night it turned into. I set a goal to only spend 50$ and in Toronto that is tough, and to not buy a girl a single drink.

I came in swinging and a little in over my head. I approached an HB9.5 and a HB9 and asked them to buy me a drink. Although taken back I was quickly shooed away. I hadn't proven myself yet to the people at the club, and would need to start with baby steps. I started talking to HB6's and HB7s and my confidence started to rise. I went and danced with a group of women having a bachelorette party and as they all danced around me pulling at my shirt, I could see heads start to turn. I knew it was time.

The first girl I opened, a three set including two HB8s and an HB6 I used the female opinion opener and asked them to settle a debate me and my buddy were having about whether Palm Bay's or Vodka Crans were the girlier drinks. I kept myself slightly pointed away from the girl I was going after. I never introduced myself first and I always waited for the girl to ask for my name, I found the most success doing it this way. After ignoring the girl for 5 minutes I turned all my attention to her and kino'ed extremely fast. Then just like that I told her I had to run. I'd be back though.

I next approached a two set with an HB5 and an HB8. I sat myself down beside the HB5 and opened her by asking how her night was. When she said good, I asked what made it a good night. She told me we were matching (both wearing white). This is where I started to tease her friend for wearing black and I kept pretending to whisper stuff into the HB5s ear while staring directly at the HB8. I eventually made my way over to the HB8 and started dancing with her, I kino'ed strongly and pulled her into the corner for an aggressive kiss close. I then got her number.

I know this is getting long so I'll wrap it up here. By the end of the night I had gotten 5 numbers. 3 HB8s, and 2 HB7s. I also ended up getting the kiss close with one of the HB8s. Similar openers, similar kino escalation etc. With the HB8 that I first opened, she actually rejected my attempt to go for the kiss, but it didn't matter I was on fire. When she could tell I wasn't phased, she pulled me back in and told me she wasnt the type of girl to makeout with me in a club but I could take her out when she got back from Europe in a month. Even though I left the bar empty handed, it was one of the best nights in my life.

Lessons learned / Potential tips:

-Try starting out with average looking women, when the HBs see you making them laugh at least now you have some sort of social proof.

-Always walk away and immediately start talking to another girl or group of people if a girl is losing her attention to you. You don't want to come off as needy.

-Kino everyone and yes I mean everyone. So when you put your hand on their hip while talking to them they just assume youre a very touchy person. From there escalate as you wish.

-Last one, don't try to hard and have some fun. Girls can tell when youre laid back and when youre not. I was around guys wearing suits and was wearing a 5$ white tee from Old Navy.
