I've been a part of the community for a few years now. I've opened probably a thousand girls and gone sarging hundreds of times. I still often feel like an AFC in noisy venues such as bars and clubs. I recently turned 21, and now i have the option to go to such places. All the experienced people say that bars are the highest opportunity for gain.

I'm not going to say i've perfected day game, but if the girl is a 7 or under i usually always n-close, rarely with flakes. I'm decent.

When it comes to bars, partys, and clubs, i have NO IDEA where to begin. I'm a fairly attractive guy only 5'9" 155 lbs athletic build. I've got acne, but i still am very confident about how i look.
When i get into these noisy places, i'm always trying to start a conversation with a charming smile, but it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE with the loud music etc.

Pretty much the only success i've had is the "can i borrow a light" crutch, and it rarely works longer than the exchange.

I don't offer to buy girls drinks unless we've already hit it off. (it's ASU college town, so tons of guys do it right away only to be ditched moments after.)

So what do i do? I can't really dance, but i can make it look like i know how.

Anyways, sorry this is jumbled, but can anybody offer a semi-crash course on bar pickups? or offer advice that i may or may not know?
