TLDR Being nice and complimenting won out over being an aggressive a-hole. Just for today at least.

So today I met another PUA through RSD inner circle. He was nice enough and we got to talking about pickup. We both followed RSD Julien and RSD Max.

We decided to go out sarging together. The first time we met, we were still getting used to each other's styles. Some lessons I learned right off the bat from viewing his successful interactions and his failures:

-Approach from the front. If you are approaching from the back, walk up ahead of her so she sees you before you approach. The approach should never take her by surprise.

-Being black you will encounter racism sometimes. Be sure to dress really well so when you approach you are received well.

-Use your friend to your advantage. I found it easier when I introduced my friend to a stranger than when I introduced myself. It validates me and shows I am a popular guy.

-This is practice. Don't take yourself too seriously. My PUA friend had the amazing ability of escalating kino immediately and having girls twirl in front of him. These are two things I saw I want to add to my game.

What I noticed with him was that he was aggressive. He didn't take no for an answer, and kept pushing even after the girl said she had a boyfriend. All of this certainly made him better at night game, but at day game he fell short of what I accomplished.

I had a much different approach. Here are some of the lines I used. I don't care if you think they are cheesy, they got me numbers:

-"Excuse me, I made a new year's resolution to meet new people and I saw you and you are very beautiful so I thought I'd meet you. Hi, I'm heretogetbetter."

-"Excuse me, do you know what yolo is? You only live once. Well I believe in a yolo lifestyle and thought I'd introduce myself. Hi, I'm heretogetbetter."

-"Excuse me, I need a female opinion. I am looking to get a gift for my sister and I don't know what women want. Can you please help me out?"

-"Hey, I know this will sound strange, but if I don't ask you now I will be regretting it for the rest of the day. You are really cute and I was wondering if you'd like to get drinks sometime."

One final lesson I noticed is to start talking before you are even validated. For example, if a women is walking towards me I will say in one breath and loudly "Excuse me where is the park?" Instead of "Excuse me" (wait for her to take the earbuds out) "Where is the park?".

I would recommend searching on Facebook for RSD Inner Circle in your city. There is bound to be a group of guys in your area that can help you out.

One final quote that was posted here earlier this week which I find motivational:

"In practice there is no losing. Only winning and learning. The only losing is not practicing."
