Today I approached and filmed 18 girls in Timesquare. These are the insights that I gained.
1. POPQUIZ. What do you do if you can't see the face of the girl that you are approaching because her back is facing you and/or she is facing the other direction?
Answer: The Blind Approach. You approach her even know you don't know how she looks like. If she turns out to be pretty then deliver direct opener as planned. If she turns out to be too old/young then ask for directions and eject.
The Scout Approach. You pretend that you have to go in the direction that she is in and while you are doing so catch a glance of her face. (Note: this sometimes can be hard to pull off without her realizing that you are just trying to check her out).
2. Keep in mind: you want to avoid looking like you are SEARCHING for women: instead you always have to look like you're in the middle of doing something important during the day: and you accidentally noticed her. Checking women out should be done subtly: not OBVIOUSLY.
Why? Being a pickup-artist is a weird identity. If she asks what you were doing respond with something like "I'm waiting for my friend and was bored..."
3. Remember: You don't want to cause a scene during your pickup approaches in the daytime . Keep things discreet.
Reason: because the more people that see you approach, the more guarded they will be when you approach them. You don't want the girl to think "Oh, he does this to everyone. That's weird." You want her to think "He usually doesn't pickup girls but this time he couldn't help saying a casual comment about me."
4. This above is especially true when you are in a store. Not getting kicked out by security is a priority and that's why you don't want to do too many approaches in a single store, you avoid approaching near staff members and the cashier registers. You also don't plow as hard as you would have if it was outside.
5. The Yad stop (running after the girl and getting infront of her) causes quite a scene - especially in a store. People NOTICE this shit. It's better to just go a place where girls populate and wait until they come closer to you. Then you just spin around or walk 5 feet and open.
6. When inside a store, alternate between BROWSING for shop items and searching for girls to approach. You need to be actually examining items that you are interested in because she'll be weirded out if she notices that you were standing in the toddler's clothing section for 5 minutes!
7. It's ironic really but at least in my experience 90%+ of daygame is just looking for a good opportunity to approach and only 10% is actually approaching and talking to girls. Minimize time inbetween approaches: TAKE every opportunity that presents itself because finding each opportunity REQUIRES a time investment.
(1) In desolate areas you could spend quite a decent amount of time walking around/waiting for targets. (2) A lot of girls are ugly, fat, old, young, with their dads, with their entire family, in a rush, have their entire face covered in a scarf, with a kid or in a massive group. (3) Contrary to popular belief, you can't always approach every girl in every situation. For example: she's in a library, there are no seats nearby her, she's studying for a test and the room policy is "no talking".
The point is: opportunities are not always easy to find so when one slips into your hands be damn sure you take it.
8. The best opportunity is a girl by herself (no cockblockers around) waiting for something or sitting: and there's not too many people to overhear the conversation.
9. If her body-language indicates that she is attracted to you - take advantage of this by using game tactics that require compliance. I.E. Qualification: "If you were in a room filled with people that look exactly like you, how would you stand out?" or Bounce to a different location.
10. If she's sitting and you're standing then you're losing value by the moment. Take a seat as fast as you humanely can - preferably at a highpoint of the interaction and/or when you/her is about to launch into a long story. Use a false time constraint as you sit down.
Example: "Oh that reminds me of my friend Lisa." *take a seat* "I only have a minute..." "Lisa did blah blah blah..."
11. Until the hookpoint you must not allow a single moment of silence because if you do then she will leave or she will find an excuse to leave: "Well nice meeting you..." What is the hookpoint? It's the moment of the interaction where she both WANTS you to keep talking to her and she's comfortable with your presence.
12. Appoint a homebase location where you do not approach like a nearby McDonalds. The homebase location is strictly for pumping your state, taking a break and/or doing whatever else you have to do. Schedule breaks during your daytime session inorder to keep up moral and energy. Approaching in your homebase defeats the purpose of designating it as a place of relaxation. Approaching without R&R can lead to burnout.
13. Never beat yourself up over any approach - no matter how bad it went. You need to associate the prospect of walking up to girls with positive feelings: not negative ones. When I came home today after approaching, I rewarded myself by indulging in Reeses cups.
14. Mindlessly approaching like a machine does NOT necessarily mean you will improve fast. Learning happens from reflection just as much as it happens from practice.
