Hey Prompter and welcome to the JHB lair. How awesome is Neil Strauss' book Lifechanging hey? I've got The Rules Of The Game book but I hardly read it, I used to follow the challenges in it but since I have a 'direct' style of game I found it wasn't for me. I did it for about 2 weeks then I hit a bump and fell off the wagon (so to speak) and I felt like I had to start over because after a while I forgot or became dis-interested in that particular style of game. Direct and inDirect will always be at each other because of such diverse styles. All in all, it basically it demands you practice everyday for a month (more or less ,counting days off) and do some self-improvement on your own image and inner self at the time, it demands quite a bit of your own devoted time to make it successful. If you want to get really good at the game in a month read that book. Quote:
One thing is clear in my mind though, there's only one way to get good at this: practice, practice, practice. So if you are planning on a night of sarging in Jozi, do let me know.
You're right man you need to practice whenever you can. If it were upto me I'd practice my day game 5x a week min. , but since I'm a student and still rely on my folks for cash at the moment I can only practice 2x a week. A little word of advice regarding night sarging, in my personal experience, wait until you feel your inner game is in a good place and you feel confident to go out and you are coherent in yourself before attempting to pickup at night. When my friends try and pickup chicks (once in a blue moon) they down loads of alcohol to ease the tension and use that as the stimulant to try and get girls. This often ends up in them either puking all over the place, starting fights with other people, and even swearing at others for no reason...this is EXTREMELY un-attractive trust me. You're also really un-calibrated when pissed which makes it easier to do things you'll regret in the morning which is when the shit hits the fan. When you're drunk out of your mind and you pass a group of beautiful girls, the look they give you is indescribable...it makes you feel like CRAP. I've done it before, it's just not worth the embarrassment. Apart from that it just lowers your own self worth and value. So take it from me, if you do intend to go out and sarge at night...don't drink or have the intention of getting drunk. If you do feel like a beverage, have something soft like Smirnoff SPIN for example. These are acceptable to drink when gaming as you'll need to down like 9 of them before feeling tipsy! Also, alot of newbies getting into the game decide to try their luck too soon before considering how far they have come and have far they need to go before they can begin to step into game mode or hit a club and sarge. I'm not saying you shouldn't go out and try, but it's better to improve on your inner game first and work on your confidence levels and approaching stamina before rushing into sets. The last thing you want to do is go into a set, run a routine... then BAM!, some girl says something from behind her bitch shield that catches you off guard and you don't know how to bypass or it destroy it...what next? You'll be shoved out that set faster than you can say "Swiss cheese". In all seriousness man, it's great you want to hit the clubs and sarge, but improve on your inner game by getting your confidence up by and getting rid of that AA. I'm telling you, if you spend a few hours a week simply approaching girls and learning that they won't kick you or bite your head off by simply asking them a question, you'll get your confidence levels up in no time. |

Hey Chai, thanks for the book comments and advice. Let me start by saying that although it's a common theme in this forum, i still don't know the difference between direct and indirect game. As I said, I'm quite new to this and "The Game" doesn't say anything about this. At least not till the part I've read. Anyway, surely I'll find out about the different approaches in due time as I continue reading more material. I agree 100%. Drinking and sarging is probably a more lethal combination than drinking and driving. The former should also be illegal! It's the quickest path to a crash and burn. I will probably start with a day sarge at a shopping center. I think that women are less defensive during the day and probably more open to engage in a conversation with a stranger. I'll make sure I post a field report on this. By the way, I don't think I've seen a single field report in this forum. Come on guys, let's start sharing our experiences (good and bad) and knowledge. It'll push us all forward much quicker! One last thing. I saw your nickelodeon-fantasy video on youtube. Dude it is SOO spot on. Keep it up! TV and movies keep selling us these fantasies of how beautiful women can just randomly fall into our lap. Let's not blame the idiots who sell us such bullshit, let's just make sure that we don't buy it from them. Prompter |

Direct is about laying out all the cards on the table and going straight up to the target and letting her know right away, from the get go, what your initial feelings are towards her. Here's a good common example of a direct approach: You walk past an attractive girl, you run up to her and stop her for a moment and open her by telling her that she looks absolutely amazing, and you just wanted to let her know. It's a very ballsy way of approaching (in my opinion) because you don't waste time and you just get straight to the point. It's also great because (as you said) girls in the daytime are less likely to get hit on during the day time so their not expecting to be approached by guys. This is why day game combined with Direct approaching is so effective. You're also completely catching her off guard by coming off as so casual. You come off as a guy who had no intention of picking up a girl and you just HAD to go over and tell how beautiful she looked before you went on your merry way. I admit, I have done this to a girl before, on Tuesday, she wasn't as responsive (she was just like "Ok oh, thanks...") but I didn't give a shit, aslong as I got my approach Some girls are more inclined and open to others, some aren't, but hey that's the way of the world. I've practiced by opening other girls and they've all gone down well (I had a laughing contest with a girl in the middle of Eastgate Shopping Centre People may have been looking, we were REALLY laughing like mad folk lol, but I didn't give a shit, I knew I made her day and I felt really good when I left. You will eventually meet girls that are better than others, and if they aren't as friendly, just brush it off, chances are you'll never see them again so whats the point in mulling over it? Right so onto indirect... An inDirect approach would be something more under the radar aspect like: You see an attract girl, you run up to her and say something like: "Hey, sorry to bother you, but who do you think lies more...Men or Women?" This type of opener is one of the most commonly used as it was created by Mystery. The thing about inDirect is that although you're asking your target a question, you may come off as a guy who is trying to hit on her. Reason being because: He came all this way to ask me a question? He's hitting on me... He wants my opinion in a nightclub? He's hitting on me... I quoted that from Adam Lyons so yeah lol. Anyway, indirect simply means that you're not being Direct about letting the girl know about your intentions right away, you're either going to go into a routine or talk to her about something irrelevant like "what's your favourite flavour of bowling ball?", that kind of stuff. Intitially (that last one) is to get her to laugh at the sheer randomness of the question, if she laughs / complies, it's an IOI (indicator of interest) and this allows you to proceed further. The differences between direct and inDirect is a little self explanatory but I'm sure you get the idea now? Quote: I agree 100%. Drinking and sarging is probably a more lethal combination than drinking and driving. The former should also be illegal! It's the quickest path to a crash and burn.
Haha man I think drinking and driving is more dangerous A littlestory I actually wanna tell you, it's irrelevant to the pickup discussion but I think you might like the humor! Back in...2010...I went with my 2 friends (lets call them Adam and Trent) to JUICE nightclub in Midrand (you heard of it?) and we all got really drunk one night. Fortunately for me I still maintained some order and was still calibrated enough to let them know we should bounce (it was at 2am) and I told em we should get some McDonalds on the way back as it was a 20KM drive to back home. Inclined by my offer the 3 of us got into Trents car and we set off. At this point, I assumed Trent was sober enough to drive, and me still being more drunk than being able to take shit seriously...allowed him to drive This is where shit got real funny. Adam, wasted out of mind was sticking his head out the window! While I was laughing my head off I saw that Trent (the designated driver) wasn't looking so grand is his head was kinda bobbing like a dead fish. I asked him if was ok to drive (bear in mind that we're on the M1 and we're probably going at a good 100km's and an unstable drunk-ish driver!) and he said "yeah bro...i'm...ummm...oh fuck...." at this point I'm like "SWEET JESUS O__O HE'S PISSED. HE'S FUCKING PISSED!!" Trent quickly began to hit the 110KM mark and I tried to wake Adam up. Adam was passed out from earlier because he so wasted. Adam wouldn't wake up so I slapped his face, that woke him up good and solid. He was like "DUDE! WTF??" And i pointed to Trent and said "That's WTF! We got a drunk fuckin designated driver!" In about 2 seconds he went stonefaced O____O, Trent had just hit the 120KM mark! Adam and I were both shouting at one another on how to stop Trent from veering off the road and killing us all! We tried to convice the drunk sod to pull us over but he gave us a lecture on pineapples and their theory on gravitation pulls. We knew that you had to be completely wasted out of your HEAD to say shit like that and knowing we were probably gonna die, we sat back...and began to pray. Adam pulled out a bible from underneath the car seat (i don't why a bible happened to be in the car but whatever) and he began reciting "Oh heavenly father..." and at this time I was in the fetal position in the back seat cause Trent had hit the 130KM mark, Trent starts reciting bubblegum and the digestive system in detail, so probably awaiting our final moments we had to listen to this fool talk about chewing gum! I knew this would be the final moments of my life...in a car with a preaching semi drunk idiot and a wasted driver! 140KM mark...at this point I felt like shouting out the window and calling for help, but the asshole locked my back windows!! I told Adam we had to do something or shit was gonna get real. 150KM...finally hit...I was wondering why no cops were on the highway? Adam got a grip of himself and shouted at Trent to pull over, Trent then looked glazed at Adam...and puked ALL OVER Adam's lap!! Adam began to scream like this and I began to laugh my head off! xD Adam was literally covered in a puddle of puke, I mean, the orangy kind and with bits of hot dog sticking out, it was REALLY gross! Luckily for us that was the saving grace that made Trent come to, he slowed down to 110KM...then what Trent asked next I knew could only come out of his mouth...he then said "So we still get McDonalds or what?" The guy was travelling at 150KM, wasted out his mind, he puked all over my best friend and he nearly killed us all and he still had the audacity to ask us if we were still gonna get food!! It was one of the funniest and scariest nights of my life man...scarred for life and won't drink again but funny as hell! But ask yourself this quickly: Which is worse...getting crash and burned by a girl... or possibly dying at the hands of a drunk driver lol Quote: One last thing. I saw your nickelodeon-fantasy video on youtube. Dude it is SOO spot on. Keep it up! TV and movies keep selling us these fantasies of how beautiful women can just randomly fall into our lap.

Thanks by the way man I'm glad someone enjoyed that video, it's cool to seethat people have the same idea and agree with me on the perspective! Although the concept from Nick. and Disney is completely false it's sad to see that AFC's and kids have to put up with that bullshit. |

You can also giving your own philosophies to help others and what you've encountered thus far in the community. Please remember: I am not a professional or advanced PUA. I am a guy (still in approaching stages and practicing but I know my theory really well) merely trying to get the South African Pickup communities content out to the other PUA communities around the world to let them know that even here on this crazy continent, our guys have game and it is alive and well. America, Britain and countries in Europe are rife with seduction content...its about time we start contributing and getting our country on the map as a notable hotspot. Official dates, times and contact details will be uploaded soon so please, check back here regularly for the releases. Finally, by being part of the podcast you agree to have you're voice and information distributed freely across all content (I'm not going to sell anything I'm doing this for free) and platforms for educational and entertainment purposes. Basically this means you're ok to call in / be part of the conversation with your voice on it to be put on youtube and general internet for sharing purposes. Once again, please keep tabs on this page guys, this thread is starting to get on a roll but I can't do it by myself, I also need your help to keep this post alive. I'm really passionate about the community and I want this to be a great success. Let's make this happen. - Chai |

Yeah of course anyone can join, I just thought that maybe the South African community should have their own podcasts before getting the US and Europe on board with it. Just a thought Quote: I would but i'm not too keen on having my voice all over the internet, especially not to do with SA pick up
Lol why not, who's going to know besides anyone in the community?

Thing is that if I do the podcast I'll need to atleast have one guest / personon the show so it can be more interesting in the converse. There's little use me doing a podcast on my own, otherwise it makes me look like I'm just flaunting my ego haha So if anyone is really keen on going for it let me know. |

I don't think you really need a guest speaker on the very first podcast. |
Author: | Chai [ Mon Apr 02, 2012 6:30 am ] |
Post subject: | |
It doesn't have to be a guest or a special person it can just be anyone wanting to join in the conversation. The whole point of a podcast is to have a collective discussion on viewpoints and have others contribute towards the converse to make the content worthwhile. There's very little point in me discussing a topic by myself for 40 minutes when the only opinion is my opinion. You get me? If I know that a person is willing to be on the same call then I'll do a podcast. |

Okay I see the point. I'm sure a few people will be able to participate. Isn't there another way for South African to have group discussions. Other than on forums because not everybody visit the forums regulary. |

You did the right thing letting her go. Welcome to the forum man. Maybe you have already seen this but it's worthwhile to read. Newbie FAQ: newbie-faq-introduction-to-pua-vt44144.html Worthwhile Threads: worthwhile-threads-vt20776.html Just remember, nothing beats experience, and material mean nothing when you are not out there applying what you learned to see what works for yourself. |
