I just returned from overseas. I don't like FRs that are just bragging about conquest so I'll keep that minimal. Mostly I want to talk about the stuff that worked and what didn't and how to improve.

Bragging

In a dormitory-like situation, I met a girl. Imagine dark hair and eyes but very light skin, tall, dimples, well-toned almost muscular arms/legs, happy gap in tight jeans and natural D-cups. (Seriously D, I checked tags. It was almost too big. Almost.) Within 3 days I was having sex in hallways/stairwells/rooms.

So attractive was this girl that every night we were seen together, 1-3 guys would come up to me, drunk, and tell me how lucky/amazing/undeserving I am. (All true.) They were telling me that she was the hottest in the place (out of like 200 girls). Guys were toasting me and ripping on anyone else that tried to meet her (and did they ever!) because she only came back to me. I'd just smack her on the tush publicly and send her back out on the dance floor to let the other AFCs fail. Or sometimes grab her hair, pull her head back, and bury my face in her chest until she got too excited and made me stop. I was a king for 3 days.

The good

Cafeteria-opening: I was with friends and we'd go to the cafeteria together to eat. My buddy sat down at an empty table. Fuck that. Hundreds of people, each alone or in groups of 2-3. Sometimes I just wandered around with my tray, waiting to find a good table to join. Within a couple days, my table was the place to be.

Bar-opening: Again, lots of people there on their own. There was a welcome round for everyone at the bar. I saw one girl grab a glass and drink without first saying "cheers" to anyone. This is a gimme. Opened her and brought her to my friends.

New best friend: I saw a guy hanging out near two girls. I asked the girls, "Do you know about the <team name>?" They knew. "You know that it's the most advanced team?" They knew. "And guess who's the strongest member of the team?" They didn't know so I told 'em: "This guy right here." I had another friend confirm it and then I took off. He had those girls on him for hours. That's how you wing. Get in there and talk your friend up. You're the wing! Don't make it about you!

Disqualify myself: A girl asked me if I'm seeing anyone. If yes then she would have to be a slut to chase me. If I say no, what kind of loser am I that I have no girlfriend? My answer, "I've been seeing a couple girls back home but I'm here to take a break from all that." Translation: I'm a catch for reasons that you don't yet know. I'm not going after you so feel free to drop the bitch shield.

The perfect story: At the bar with the girl she mentioned that she had a boyfriend but he wasn't sexual enough nor romantic enough. Later in the conversation I told her my (true) story of a previous girlfriend with a cautious heart. We dated a while but it ended because I was falling in love and she wasn't there yet and I was in pain. I could see how moved she was. Three things:
1. I observed what she wanted. (Romance)
2. I knew what to say. (Show that I'm a romantic without saying it flat out.)
3. I knew how to say it. (Sincerely but ready to change course if the topic isn't working.)

Take AMOG out of the picture: One night my group was 3 boys and 5 girls. AMOG tried talking to one of the girls. I pulled out my camera and gave it to my friend and had him take my photo with the girls. Then a photo with just the girls. Then I took the camera. Etc. AMOG wandered away. I literally took AMOG out of the picture. A camera is a fantastic prop.

AFC annoying: There was one guy, hit on any girl that moves. Opened so often and so pushy that he seemed to be begging for a girl to want him. Girls often claimed that the guy is funny or nice! "Nice" as in "it's nice how he boosts my ego". Ego-booster is nice but not sexy. When AFC goes after your girl, walk away. You could take out the trash but why dirty your hands? He talks to her and it frees you up to talk to buds or other girls. She'll be thinking about how she'd rather be speaking to you! Next time a guy approaches, even AMOG, she'll remember how she didn't enjoy it last time and she'll be less likely to blow you off. Be careful not to let AMOG sneak in, this only works if you're sure that he's AFC.

Get awkward: I wasn't sure that she was into me and I wasn't getting much kino. It almost looked like we're just friends. I made a bold move: While alone I just pulled a good night kiss out of nowhere. Would have been awkward if it didn't work but if there's even a 1% chance that it'll work and almost no downside, do it. That decision was the whole ballgame.

LMR: She said, "We'll fool around but not sex; I don't do this kind of thing." I nodded, "No sex." I didn't have sex that night but I felt that it would happen soon anyway so I didn't have sex. If you want to fight LMR, go ahead. I'm willing to let hard LMR beat me one time because I don't like the feeling that I'm pushing too hard. If I get stuck at the same place second time, that's bullshit, I'll fight.

The bad

Which perfect story?: I got lucky that I had the right story (above) at the right time. You can't fake this one. Solution: Try to live an excellent life so that you'll have good things to talk about when it's time.

Missed an open: I opened all the time with like 90% success. One opening, the most important one, I missed because I assumed that they were a couple. Solution: When in doubt, let's assume that sex with me is on the table.

Bad wing #1: One of my wings is fearless and talkative. He'll open often and he's not nervous. That's good. But he isn't observant enough. He can't see when his story is failing. Solution: Switch topics. You don't need a smooth segue. If she's bored then the change will be good regardless. The hard part is observing that you're failing. Practice: Go to a coffee shop, watch a couple for 3 minutes, then say to them, "Hey, I've got a bet with a friend. I said that you two are probably <on a date/coworkers/just friends/etc>." This can help you get over AA and also helps you hone your observation skills. There are YouTube videos about observation, watch those and maybe try to guess what the teacher says before he says it. Other ideas to get better at observing...?

Bad wing #2: Mid-set, my wing and I talk to 1 girl. Two-on-one is too much attention for a girl so I'm fighting uphill. He wasn't trying to win her, he just thought that she was a cool girl and wanted to know more about her. By asking her tons of questions. The whole conversation became about her. I chided him later for obvious reasons. I think that being a wing is harder than attraction because you have twice the people to observe and it goes against the instinct to get the girl. Solutions: I hope to find better wings and also be a better wing. Soloing, too.

Love: I get emotionally involved when she's especially amazing. It's oneitis. When bad-wing-2 screwed me, I took it badly and I chewed him out, maybe too much. When I succeeded I fell head-over-heels but now I'm back home and really sad. :-( The former is a problem. The latter... maybe it's okay that I'm human? Hopeless romantic me.
