So I just got back from my very first outing. After reading "Above the Game" and a bit of "The Game" by Neil Strauss, I felt like enough reading is enough, I had tickets to Doctor P/Koan Sound, and I needed to get out there and practice what has been read. I arrived extremely early, and the place was dead. I hung around for awhile, and the place started picking up in an hour. I used this hour to collect my thoughts, work on my posture, and engage with conversation with whoever was there. Note I have not been 21 for a long time, so I was asking a lot of questions about nightclub life, as that is the first time I was actually at a nightclub. I was absolutely in awe from the scenery and I took a while to check out the place. When it started to pick up, I started engaging with girls who were dancing by themselves. (I don't really understand how to engage a group of people quite yet, nor how to be comfortable engaging a group without isolating or making a few out of the group feel uncomfortable, but that is something I can work on, and you can help me out with :) I approached a few more, and I was surprised how easy it was to get them to dance with me, especially when the main performers came on. Where I failed though, was to keep their attention. I am sure I didn't escalate quick enough, and other guys came in and caught their attention much quicker than I did. I know, my nerves got the best of me, and I have a lot to learn. A few questions for my fellow brothas out there...
Is it better to escalate quickly and get batted off than to escalate too slow and get jacked? I know I escalated too slow, but I was afraid of being too quick and being slapped and rejected quickly. Is that just something I need to get over?
Engaging with a group: wtf do? anything specific to all women groups? what if theres men involved? should I just ignore those groups?
Any advice specific to nightclubs? There was no opportunity to really talk to anyone, Just a quick "Hey there, lets dance!" How do I alter my game to bar/daygame?
Even though I was mostly rejected, I feel on the top of the god damn world. This feels like something I can really conquer, rather than just read and wonder "can I really be like that?" I know you are intelligent beings, and I feel like I am too, but I felt like almost everyone else there was way on top of their game compared to me, and I have a lot of adjusting to go. Any tips/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Seddit!
