[poll] How would you guys feel about a weekly opener/routine challenge?

BadAtParties · 2014-04-22T03:24:59+00:00

I really like this, but particularly if it's an opener versus a challenge. E.g. "Approach a girl with the line 'I think I saw you on Tinder'"

That's absolutely terrible, please don't use that one. But I think an opener would be most fun and get people out there.

Strike48 · 2014-04-22T02:13:21+00:00

It would have to be really well organized. For example, we would need to categorize shit from newbie level to intermediate since a particular challenge could be difficult to a newbie while something more difficult could be a piece of cake to the more experienced.

L1AM · 2014-04-22T04:30:22+00:00

Sounds like a great idea! I like the idea of things you're doing throughout a conversation — not openers. There are a billion different openers and the chances of useful advice coming out of the use of one opener isn't very high. The chances of examples on how to direct/change conversation or actions would be great.

For instance, have a conversation in which you tell girls what kinds of questions to ask. "Can you do me a favor, just one small thing?" (Ben Franklin effect) "Ask me about something personal." or "Ask me about my family." or "Ask me about being scared."

Of course this needs work, but I think it could be a great exercise to see how different people handle different kinds of situations. For instance, I can image getting, "You seem to like red a lot. .. Why?" and seeing how people handle that. Or maybe a FR from someone who was able to incorporate it in a non-obvious way. This is a great idea! I would participate.

You can count me in, I need some motives to approach

nizzleh · 2014-04-22T03:13:57+00:00

I like this.

YouGuessedRight · 2014-04-22T06:07:24+00:00

Im up for it

elaldeanos · 2014-04-22T02:23:20+00:00

urmominabikini · 2014-04-22T04:36:18+00:00

sounds awesome I am down.

AnnTauz · 2014-04-22T06:12:59+00:00

Seems like a great idea,message the mods for doing it more official, we could make some silly challeges that boost up people confidence and then post their stories about what happened

Chem007 · 2014-04-22T06:21:21+00:00

This would be pretty cool

Scorproyale · 2014-04-22T09:29:10+00:00

We need some structure. I like it.

TimPartendale · 2014-04-22T12:41:29+00:00

I am TimPartendale and I approve this post.

ThePUA_Baddie · 2014-04-22T16:34:07+00:00

So is this ever happening or are we all gonna just stroke our dicks to the idea of it lol

Freyzus · 2014-04-22T06:48:34+00:00

I'm with it

araciel · 2014-04-22T10:50:18+00:00

Could you imagine this happening in a city? I know the odds are slim of it ACTUALLY happening, two guys approaching the same girl and using the same opener in a week.

I'm sure others would still enjoy the ideas, and it would help to get some out and about.

I vote go for it.

nobody2000 · 2014-04-22T19:42:31+00:00

Yes. No caveats. Just yes. Someone initiates the challenge on a Wednesday, and the [FR]s are posted in a new thread the following Tuesday.

Let's not overthink this.

Edit: Maybe we need caveats.

1.) Challenges are broad and can be used by novices and experts. This is a dumb example, but "Approach someone with a well known line from a movie" would lead a novice to think of something romantic, an intermediate person might think of "come with me if you want to live." and a total pro can recite the monologue that Jonah Hill gave in "Superbad" about drawing dicks.

2.) Top [FR] on Tuesday as determined by upvotes gets to pick the next challenge.

MomoElite · 2014-04-22T04:12:10+00:00

This sounds like a good idea, but going on what Strike48 said it would have to be organized. I just came up with another idea like this as well, you should check it out and see what you think of it. Its basically the same thing, but just using goals for opening instead of lines/routines, but a challenge type thing would be best to get the community more involved and more FRs up as well

Heres my idea I just posted a while ago

http://www.reddit.com/r/SanDiegoSeddit/comments/23mp3n/field_report_collections_group_activity/

Look it over and if a lot of people are with doing a challenge type thing we can work out more details in this thread

MuchAdoAboutNada · 2014-04-22T08:49:59+00:00

So would we all analyse each other's field reports? Showing what they did well and what they should improve? Helping each other out?

If so then yes! This sounds like a great idea :)

NinjaGiraffes · 2014-04-22T04:21:37+00:00

Sounds fun. I vote yay

ThePUA_Baddie · 2014-04-22T04:47:32+00:00

This is just for fun purposes? Can't really see date potential if you plan to go in with a routine challenge. Also, are people going to be recording their opens? I think it would be more fun if they did instead of just people writing about what they did, if they did anything for that matter

Sir_Raveman · 2014-04-22T11:44:02+00:00

alex0919 · 2014-04-22T12:42:33+00:00

It'd definitely be nice, but it'd be hard to organize.

For instance, you could have some dark hardcase beginner go up to a girl and use a line, and run away. What good will that do?

And advanced PUA never use routines, so I don't know, I'm on the fence!

It sounds fun either way.

JF803 · 2014-04-22T14:42:21+00:00

This is the best idea I've seen on seddit

Kharubina · 2014-04-22T14:43:14+00:00

ahah it's definetely a yay

StupidWes · 2014-04-22T17:28:35+00:00

I'm totally on board. Perhaps with user submissions for the opener and such. If it gets big enough you may need to make a tag just for field reports of the challenge

Radicalmattitude1 · 2014-04-22T18:26:37+00:00

I love this idea! This is a perfect way to try new things, to get outside comfort zones and push each other to get better.

Not to mention, a "weekly opener" or "weekly challenge" would provide an excellent frame of reference to which we could easily compare notes.

Say one week we all try "opener x"; we all try it 3 or 4 times and report back with terrible results.

The next week we all try "opener y": and we all report back with laughs and smiles. What an easy way to determine that "opener y" is probably better than "opener x". Knowwhatimsayin?

ex0th3rmic · 2014-04-22T18:53:55+00:00

YES!!

ruboski · 2014-04-23T02:19:40+00:00

I can just imagine girls becoming confused because they've had 10 guys use the exact same opener.

soul2ebl · 2014-04-23T02:23:24+00:00

Sounds like a plan. Plus, you can post your field report on the same thread for kicks

skifer · 2014-04-22T15:52:11+00:00

I think we would need seperate subreddit for this, but I love the idea.

the-spirit · 2014-04-22T19:19:09+00:00

Yay!!!!

football1010 · 2014-04-22T19:44:20+00:00

lame

Hot_moco · 2014-04-22T20:12:49+00:00

Yah I think it's a great idea man, maybe have like a poll every Sunday or Monday (the day before the challenge) to get people in the community to vote on the challenge. Will get everyone involved and gives everyone an opportunity to feel part of the group. And it will also give people the opportunity to throw some ideas out there more often, and see peoples responses. But I really like the idea, something that we should definitely organize.

itakmaszraka · 2014-04-22T20:31:20+00:00

Sounds great! Challenge is a great motivation, because most of us (me too) just lurks here, and doesn't get anything done by themselves. I'm in.

ihopethispcworks · 2014-04-22T21:29:34+00:00

A+ idea

can we do something where you have to say something ridiculous

like the guy that said buttcheese and had that really great story

nizzleh · 2014-04-22T21:55:37+00:00

Approaching girls at specific places could also be a great challenge, broad enough to be done by us noobs and for more experienced puas, and opens the possibility of broadening our opens based off of specific situations within specific venues instead of using straight up canned openers.

Poisonpkr · 2014-04-22T22:06:25+00:00

I think its a great way to take seddit which is sometimes percieved as seedy and make it fun. as long as it didnt clog up the sub which it wouldnt if we kept it to one thread per week. but i think itd be briliiant and a good way to learn about the different perspectives and enviroments we're each working with

polite_upvote_guy · 2014-04-23T01:00:16+00:00

I'm in. Let's do it!

exatox · 2014-04-23T07:18:42+00:00

I like this idea a lot. It can really help beginners get some experience in a fun way. I'm 100% all for it. So when will this start?

Sexiled · 2014-04-23T15:44:10+00:00

I really like this idea. There could also be a night game challenge for the weekend with a choice of 5 different openers that we will vote on and choose by 24 hours. If someone video tapes themselves, evenbetter. I think this will bring the community together and encourage others who haven't made any moves, to make moves!

MFLBsniffer · 2014-04-22T08:09:45+00:00

Crossfit for seduction? Crosspickup Crosseddit Hahahaha Have a pick up challenge of the day or week or whatevs

Different options in said challenge for experience, age, and goals, etc could be looked into

migukin · 2014-04-23T00:21:30+00:00

Sendmeloveletters · 2014-04-22T06:41:29+00:00

Aka announcing yourself to females who lurk this sub

astrokidd · 2014-04-25T08:44:21+00:00

Hey, my friend told me that talking about weather would be an icebreaker with a cute girl. Do you think that’d work?
Hey, my friend told me that to attract a cute girl, I should do palm reading. Do you think that’d work or it’s too cheesy? (If she says yes)Ok, well. Let me see. This line means that you’d like to get a spontaneous kiss from a stranger. (If she blushes, go for a kiss.)
What do you do for fun around here other than talking with nice handsome tall dudes like me?
Hi! Excuse me!! We’re conducting a quick survey here. I have a quick question for you. If you have to name your boobs, what would that be?

legsbrah · 2014-04-22T12:37:50+00:00

This is pathetic.
