I'm the opposite. I don't mind eating and going to bars solo but clubs tend to put me off. The secret trick is to stick to bar counters to eat. You don't have an empty space in front you, you can meet people eating next to you... So just go to restaurants that have counters.

Yeah I just tried that. Its crowded as fuck and the bartender gave me a menu but clearly was not able to take food orders as she's jumping around like a crazed mongoose filling drinks. Then a group of screaming drunks calling each other faggots sat next to me. Currently I have relocated to a small two person table in the hopes of ordering food from the next waitress to pass by, which has not happened yet.
Edit: On the plus side no one seems to have noticed or cared that I'm here by myself.

That's the other part of the Social Dialouge: You are there caring about yourself, they are there caring about themselves. No one cares about you until you become part of their narcissistic narrative.
Give zero fucks.

i prefer doing everything alone when i feel like getting girls most of my friends are introverts & they have there own thoughts & feelings about approaching random strangers
& i feel like they judge me negatively whether it goes successfully or not.
when i'm alone i may still be judged negatively by the people around me but i don't hold there views to as high an esteem as my friends therefore i can start having fun doing game

My biggest improvements have come from doing streetgame solo. In my opinion, that shit is the scariest style of pickup. It'll teach you how to not be a pussy.

Personally I find going out by myself to be a more enjoyable experience because anything you do is solely up to you. If you want to make a connection with someone you can't rely on anyone else to help you. Ultimately this helps your social life. Have a good time and don't worry about judgemental stares. Be confident in yourself and just do you.

I agree man, I fucking LOVE going out by myself. & Have most of my success this way.
[–]Skudx1 points 11 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
Yeah but what do you actually do alone?
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Whatever I want, bro there are tons of people, there to meet, to talk to, I sometimes, meet groups of guys who end of following me for the night, basically due to the success I'm having with women, and general, good posture and behavior. You can go out and choose a group of guys to lead as well, the world is your oyster mate.

I have literally had girls in a group, say "wow, you are here by yourself [talking to us] that's impressive." If you are comfortable in your own skin, that's what matters- it shows you have confidence in yourself. Also, I'd often say something like "I have to get back to my friends at X bar, but ...." if am not in my element.

I'm enjoying Models, but what did you find it helped you with? I don't really feel like I'm going to get anything out of it. (About half way through now)

what did you read from manson?

It's the only way I do it.

Women are fine with it as long as you are.
That's all there is to it. Don't cower because you're alone. It takes a real bitch to think someone doing something alone is a loser or whatever.
As for advice, just do it. Get more comfortable around a certain spot and then expand. I started going to one book store and one pub and now the whole six block bar area is comfortable.

I'm going solo tonight and have done so many times. Honestly, it's a little strange at first, but really liberating knowing you control the night. You pick the been venue, how long you want to stay, and you don't v have to deal with negative people. I know a lot of people have negative minded friends without realizing it and going solo can fix that issue.

depends on how you're sitting there. whether you're sat there like a nervous rodent eating as quickly as he can, scanning the environment for threats or like a relaxed boss eating the shit out of his meal and not shying away from making eye contact with / smiling to the other patrons makes the world of difference.
good subtle trick to be the latter : take up a lot of space; put your arm on the chair beside you for example
I can dance quite well, have rhythm and know how to own a dance floor, I will literally own any dance floor i walk on to, so for me I really dont mind going to a club by myself. Will be grinding or dancing with a girl within seconds.

Sounds like a good gig! Thats pretty much what I will be attempting later tonight but I am only a tolerable dancer. Do you have any tips or instructional videos to help a beginner move past the shoulder-wiggling/fist-pumping stage?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Firstly immediately drop the thought that you are a only a tolerable a dancer, I myself may not be a good a dancer, and its not really that I believe I am. I believe I am fucking sexy, you are fucking sexy.
I've been going to clubs since I was 16, (under 18) parties, and yes I fucked up and made a spectacle of myself a few times but it doesn't matter.
Enjoy the music, you worked hard all week, you are enjoying yourself, you have the right to enjoy yourself. You have the right to be adored by women.
You are enjoying your life among other people doing the same. The music coming out the speakers is amazing and you are loving life. You aren't for a second thinking about how you look and what your next move will be.
Women come up to you because you are having such a great god damn time, you aren't even thinking about them and they are kind of annoying because they are just bandwagoning you because you are fun. But you humor them and have fun with them if you think they are cool enough.
hope this helps.
EDIT: One thing you could do is, and it might sound retarded but, put some headphones in put the music on full fucking blast, get in front of the mirror, and let loose, just spend 15 - 20 minutes dancing and thinking about how god damn sexy you are and just loving music for a few minutes. Have some fun.

My process:
Sir Ian, Sir Ian, Sir Ian

YOU SHALL NOT PASS
Point is: I am awesome, someone is filming me, I am in a Bond movie.
