Sup seddit. My wingman for the night and I are going to do some revolutionary shit and give you a field report that contains both of our perspectives throughout the night for each approach. To help readers differentiate we'll use [T] and [L] for the both of us:

----10:30 pm----

[{T}]: I started the night out pretty damn tipsy because I spent most of the evening locked out of my house and I spent some time at the bar until my roommates could let me in. Although its irrelevant to state this, I feel that my major success this night was in part due to a little liquid confidence.

[{T+L}]: A lot of PUA material references being in-state and we followed suit by watching several clips from Simple Pickup on youtube. Some clips of note that we checked out: This one about being a good wingman, Here's one where they use some corny ass fresh prince lines, Last one is some juicy stuff on eye-contact. Anyway, if your degree of "in-statedness" was measured on a gauge, we were at maximum fucking capacity.

----11:00 pm----

[Approach #1]

[{T}]: The area we were in was my territory and I was in the lead. I remember watching a simplepickup video some time in the past where they mentioned a great way to get the ball rolling is to talk to the first people you see in a venue.. no matter if they were hot or ugly, group or solo, or mixed or all female. So I just went for it.

I walked in and the first girl I made accidental eye contact with [HB7]. She was in a set of 3. I marched on over and say,

"Damn! You are all that..... and a bag of chips"

I am greeted with laughter. She quickly tells me that she has a boyfriend and I'm about to eject until she asks me for my name. I take this a cue to keep pushing.

"I'm [T], I know my pickup line was corny but I just wanted to meet you"

At this point, my wing jumps in and says some shit that was inaudible but I smile and say, "This is the robin to my batman." They eat that shit up and I return back to HB7

She thanks me and tells me I'm cute but she's got a boyfriend. As I'm about to eject, a girl my wing was gaming HB8, grabs me and says,

"Your friend is cute"

I respond, "I know, get on that shit before someone else does!" I head to the bar and wait for [L] to wrap up is set, already feeling the spark I needed for a good night.

[{L}]: I'm the robin to his batman....no homo. I've been gaming solo at a nearby college and was excited for my first wing experience. Needless to say, it was a blast.

So [T] opened a set up within the first few seconds we walked in. He did not tell me we were going to do this so I just went with it. I literally walk up to a friend of my wing's target and say "My name is [L]" and start babbling about how its my first time in philly and [T] is my boy. This girl is starry-eyed, I've never seen attraction hook so quick. My wing had ejected from his girl and I could never break the first rule of bros before hoes. It's either both or neither. So I eject, but man I could have had this girl, she was cute. It just proves that it isn't what you say and its how you say it, because I was confident as fuck and I was talking bullshit, no corny lines or anything.

----11:00pm----

[Approach #2]

[{L}] We approached a couple more throwaway sets, and then our next notable approach was two cuties dancing. [T] started with the hotter one. I started with my girl, and it was a shit test from start to finish. Oh you're from Jersey that sucks. Oh you go to school in Delaware that sucks even more. I don't like Italians. This girl was throwing chode destroyer after chode destroyer but I stayed in my confident frame and acted like it had no affect. She didn't like me, but in the end my wing was dancing hot with his girl and my girl danced with me and didn't cockblock, which is what usually happens. Keep the fucking frame and hold it. Your esteem will be tested. I knew I was the shit and made her feel it.

[{T}]: At this point [L] & myself are HEATED. I'm walking around feeling like I'm walking on mothafuckin sunshine. I spot a HB7 and HB8 dance with each other and I stop dead in my tracks and MAKE her notice me. I lock eye contact and say my corny ass fresh prince line, "DAMN! You are all that... and a bag of chips!" This time. I meant it.

"You cant just walk up to girls like that" HB8 replies.

"I know, but how else was I going to get your attention, Hi I'm [T]"

Proceed with bullshit & banter and I get my first test.

"How do I know you're not bullshitting me" I get blasted with.

"My biggest pitfall is I don't think twice about what I say, I don't think I'm capable of showing restraint. But hey, at least you know I'm honest.... scouts honor." Commence boy scout shit test. "Okay I was a Sea Ranger but they're like one in same".

Just a clever response.

I'm feeling bold at this point and here goes my downfall, "Hey, give me your number. We should meet up later."

"How do you know what I'm doing?"

"Now you do." Almost as soon as I said that she started whispering to her friend and I knew it was over. Oh well.

----12:00am----

[{T}]: So after some funny crash and burn sets we make our way to another bar and I open up the first set that I make eye contact with... a HB6 & HB7.. meh. I needed a crutch at this point. They tell us about a live band playing and they lead us to the band. I get lost on the way and bump into a few people. One of which was a HB9. I said something along the lines of "Hey! We used to have class together. How come we were never acquainted?" I #close. (This doesn't really get mention because I think being alumni of the same school made her feel obligated to give me her number.)

So my last noteworthy set is an HB8 that I saw on the way to catch up with HB6 and 7, I stop shift my body so she notices me, look her straight in the eyes and and use Simplepickup's line, "Hey, I noticed you... noticing me. So I just wanted to give you a notice... that I noticed you too." She eats it up. I see my wing crashing and burning in a fiery inferno but I'm in too deep. I haven't isolated her but I go in for a value builder/qualifier(?), "So my nephew is going to college in a few years. I want to write him a letter detailing all the things I wish I knew going into college. Give me some things you think I should add." She lays her hand on my chest and the ioi bells go off like crazy. Seeing my wing getting buttraped by a firebreathing dragon I decided to leave while I was hot and #close and eject.

Walked away with 4 #closes tonight. For a beginner... fuck it progress is progress.

[L]: Just some final thoughts, since [T] covered it all. I can't stress how important holding the conversation frame is. It covers everything from leading the interaction to avoiding shit tests. Just know you lead this interaction because you approached her.

Also, you have to get kino involved early on. It actually makes you seem less creepy because it lets her know you can touch without being creepy, if that makes any sense. I'm fucking stoned. A light tap on the wrist or even laying a palm on the shoulder makes it seem easier to talk. Then start clawing and dancing. Also, another good tip is to hold the girl's idle hand while dancing. Strong kino. Haha saying that makes me feel like a buddhist or some shit. But for reals, hand holding is a good lead to a makeout.

On that point, we didn't get makeouts tonight so that is huge. We need to do that next time for sure. I can't wait until we get better at this stuff. As a first time wingman, it rocked. When you game solo and then meet up with a wingman its like easy mode. Going out solo hardens you the fuck up really fast. Strongly advise for anyone who is too anxious to go out without friends. I did it and I didn't die or get my ego hurt. Just constantly approach and you will always come away happier than if you didn't.
