Today I walked up to random attractive girls and said "Hi, you're hot. Let's go out."

executex · 2011-01-19T04:32:40+00:00

Why is he being put down for this so much?

As far as seduction goes, it could've gone a lot better than "hi. you're hot. let's go out," but it was an experiment. Let's not forget the fact that college girls are a hell of a lot more liberal and receptive than most girls.

I mean clearly there's much more to this than, "hi. let's go out." It was a good first effort and a damn good exercise in getting over approach anxiety. If you do this enough, you can walk up to Miss Teen USA without a bead of sweat running down your brow.

Why so much negativity. The guy implemented and reported on a hypothesis that he was testing. Fucking props to you man. To all the guys saying, "pssh numbers.. whatevs." what the fuck have you done lately?

Don't worry about answering that question. I was just gonna make fun of you for qualifying yourselves anyway.

You've discovered direct day game, my friend :)

Combine it with an instadate and get good at reading whether or not she is actually interested quickly and you'll be right where all the day game masters are. Good luck!

Sounds like an exercise in getting over AA more than anything. This exercise is quite entertaining as well.

From a behaviorist standpoint, these exercises are essential because they provide positive reinforcement for approaching. Once you're at a point where just approaching women is fun for you, your skill level will start increasing rapidly without you even knowing it, just because you're having such a good time approaching.

renegade1861 · 2011-01-19T13:54:58+00:00

Sure beats my old approach: "Hi, wanna go get a pizza and fuck?" Of course, that is how I met my wife. The bitch.

jamesbond664 · 2011-01-19T03:50:08+00:00

I once walked up to a cute girl and asked "Do you want a boyfriend?" She beamed and asked why, and we talked briefly. It could have gone further but that was in my early days and I was less skilled. It was fun to activate the balls factor and just say something random to a stranger.

johnnyshotgun · 2011-01-19T15:02:27+00:00

from paul janka:

"I think you’re cute, but I’m in a rush and late for a meeting. How ‘bout you give me your number and we’ll grab a drink around here some night."

unsexyMF · 2011-01-19T01:39:25+00:00

I almost forgot about your blog! I'm glad you're reading 60, and that you're trying more direct approaches. Hopefully you'll get more comfortable with it soon.

afcanonymous · 2011-01-19T04:32:52+00:00

Direct game works. Instead of closing with just the line you use, try building rapport and you'll get some solid numbers. It's very Paul Janka.

ThrowawayPUA · 2011-01-19T05:27:43+00:00

All in all I approached 5 girls, two of whom told me they had boyfriends

FTFY

dec92010 · 2011-01-19T03:37:14+00:00

How would you rate yourself in terms of looks? 1-10. I would imagine looks play a huge factor in whether a girl gives you her number with such a direct opening.

frogma · 2011-01-19T01:39:28+00:00

I love your blog.

My first day of class is tomorrow and if I can summon the guts, I'll do it.

10lbhammer · 2011-01-19T09:08:57+00:00

I was going to read through all the responses before I wrote this, but fuck it:

I used to walk up to girls and ask them: "do you wanna make out?" sure they might say no, but usually they would say yes. man, walking up to an HB and asking them if they wanna play tongue-hockey is exhilarating. I got laid a lot, I never really had to play it smooth, I just had to act like I knew what I was doing; it was a better hack than you'll ever learn by looking at the side-bar on r/seddit.

good luck, young pedouin.

plopliar · 2011-01-19T05:59:29+00:00

Fantastic. I love to hear things like this. Confidence and not giving a fuck about what random people think is the way to go. Good for you!

on_the_dl · 2011-01-19T12:18:43+00:00

In the 60s and 70s he could have said, "Hi, you're hot. Let's go have sex." and it would have worked just as well.

2011-01-19T15:13:21+00:00

This just brought a memory of one interesting encounter I had back in the day. We had just finished a 2-week long trek over the mountains in Central Asia and were having a night out at a mountain lake resort. Everyone was pretty drunk, and we went to the beach, where I saw this Slavonic beauty (1.80 m, from Siberia as it turned to be later on). Me being drunk with two weeks of carrying heavy loads in the mountains resulted in an absence of natural breaks. As far as I remember I was all about how beautiful and wonderful she was (I am not trouble-when-drunk type of guy). As a result, next morning I was awaken by my fellows who told me she'd come early looking for me, saying she wanted to take me to the beach. Needless to say I felt like shit that morning, and was all uptight and closed when I finally saw her. I distinctly remember the signs of disappointment in her eyes. So this is how it kind of ended there.

So there was a lesson for me, for the rest of my life. Let alone a fair bit of embarrassment, and maybe sense of lost opportunities. So, mean what you say, and say what you mean, I guess.

mcsmith24 · 2011-01-19T22:10:39+00:00

I'm a female and I wish more people said this to me. You're practically unzipping their pants.

Therion596 · 2011-01-19T01:37:08+00:00

I sense much fail in this one... and yet, I commend you.

executex · 2011-01-19T03:16:28+00:00

I almost did this the other day. I was at a bar for a friend's birthday party when I saw the MOST GORGEOUS girl. Soon I saw she was talking with a friend of mine (female), so I took my chance and went over.

Some guy at the bar happened to look like Walker Texas Ranger with a big black cowboy hat, huge belt buckle, and rattlesnake boots (this is DC, so an uncommon sight), so noticing that she too was wearing boots (albeit much nicer and less cowboyish), I opened with, "Nice boots, did you come with John Wayne over there?"

She seemed receptive to it, but (just my luck) they happened to be leaving. I thought of just asking for her number right then and there, but ended up not going for it, considering that I will almost assuredly see her again in the future and didn't come off as creepy.

Maybe it was a failure, maybe it was good judgement--only time will tell. Either way, I didn't beat myself up about it, considering I got 4 other numbers that night, and just had a great (FANTASTICALLY great) time in general.

MrPantaloons · 2011-01-19T07:49:07+00:00

This is great for getting over approach anxiety, for sure. I'm not saying that this won't work for you, but keep in mind that girls usually place lower value on a guy who is quick to let on that he is interested in her. While you did get a high rate of numbers (3/5 of all the girls, 100% of all the single ones) I am interested to see how your response rate will be.

chickenshitmchammers · 2011-01-19T15:25:42+00:00

I'm glad you actually kept your blog going this entire time. Impressed too.

2011-01-19T15:52:36+00:00

As long as you post results for everybody, I commend you. Takes balls, man.

absolutebeginners · 2011-01-19T17:16:26+00:00

Good job dude! Be sure to post results of your 3 phone numbers!

hin · 2011-01-19T17:37:26+00:00

You went out and did something, rather than sitting by your computer and complain about what others are doing.

Good work!

DanaPoints · 2011-01-19T20:21:06+00:00

Good attempt.

Next time: Hey, I'd love to make you breakfast.

curiousman123 · 2011-01-20T20:58:51+00:00

If you're man enough to make a video of pick up, i'll make one too.

SpiderFan · 2011-01-19T04:53:53+00:00

you'r evolving

DNZ_not_DMZ · 2011-01-19T08:06:17+00:00

Balls. You have them.

bonkdaddy · 2011-01-19T04:52:28+00:00

how tall are you?

glassuser · 2011-01-19T04:38:58+00:00

We used to call something approximating this the "Grand master" technique.

Now get them to answer when you call.

yokhai · 2011-01-19T13:45:53+00:00

Good job man. Way to boost that confidance. Day game is some of the most nerve wracking shit ever to new PUA's, especially if you do it in the same place over and over again.

Like Tofu said, move to instadates and you will be that much closer to full on seduction. If a girl will actually sit a chat with you for a minute is the one you want to pull into a library coffee shop or something close by and have a full on convo over food or something.

Keep up the good work.

2011-01-19T14:01:59+00:00

Yeah, the abcsofattraction guy got me interested in much more direct pickups. I'm by no means an expert, but it's certainly a lot easier after you approach a few people with the intent to be direct.

amarine88 · 2011-01-19T18:38:39+00:00

I have to ask this because I honestly don't know the answer to this:

Isn't randomly approaching someone who isn't at a bar/party/club/etc. a little creepy?

IrLoserBoy · 2011-01-19T19:05:35+00:00

I remember doing something like this in high school i wasn't trying to talk to girls, just being retarded and hyper active. I would walk up to evry gir and ask , " am i hot?" I remember this survey winning my arguement that i was hot because almost every girl said yes. They also smiled and giggled and tried to continue the conversation and flirt. I didnt notice then but looking back, it was an amazingly successful opener.

Mouthpiece · 2011-01-19T19:29:21+00:00

Haters gonna hatr. I count this as a no-holds-barred success. If you've got the balls to make this approach, imagine how well you're going to do with a real opener.

BTW, I think this shock-and-awe opener is actually pretty good for anything less than a HB9. 100% #-close from the non-IHAB girls (amazingly enough, including the one who knew what you were up to) and I guarantee you made the day for every one of 'em.

Congrats.

takfam · 2011-01-19T20:36:09+00:00

Isn't this sort of a form of giving power away? It's like "Hey, you know I'm game, ball's in your court now." and she can do whatever she likes with the ball.

If I'm wrong, please explain, I'm just asking, not trying to cut down OP's idea. I actually think it's a pretty good exercise, I may go to the mall and try it this weekend.

ohstrangeone · 2011-01-19T20:54:32+00:00

You are familiar with Ciaran's "Shock and Awe" method, right? It's right up your alley, you really ought to give it a go: http://www.bristollair.com/2008/outer-game/pua-routines/shock-and-awe-the-apocalypse-opener/

rotund · 2011-01-20T06:54:17+00:00

You have more balls than me sir.

Barney21 · 2011-01-20T23:56:27+00:00

"I have a boyfriend" means "You're coming on too strong". When you've come in so cocky just blow it off with something naughty and launch another routine.

2011-01-26T20:59:10+00:00

sorry for digging up a week old post...

What would your suggestions be for a high school, I would be doing this everyday... if everyone didn't know everyone...

Makes shit tough lol

KindOfPly · 2011-02-01T23:27:23+00:00

Isn't it better to have a girl give you her number? What do you do if she asks for yours?

UnicornDolphin · 2011-01-19T04:10:45+00:00

You realize the two girls that said they had boyfriends probably didn't, right? And getting numbers doesn't mean much...

nullibicity · 2011-01-19T11:39:38+00:00

Good for you, sir. If only it were as simple as you say.

gpua · 2011-01-20T05:57:56+00:00

With this approach, many girls will tell you they have boyfriends when they don't.

Your game sucks, but college girls are whores, especially with guys from the same campus -- they have some assumption of safety when you're from the same campus, God knows why -- so you might just get laid. Good luck.

For future reference, telling a hot girl that she's hot works against you. She already knows. She doesn't need to be told.
