I am 17. I started about a year and a half ago not just with this site, with everything, from Pandora's box, to Carlos Xuma's work, to David DeAngelo's double your dating, to David Wygant's mastery program, to Mystery method, to revelation, to magic bullets, the list goes on.

Before this pua stuff I had never kissed a girl before never had a relationship either was too shy around girls i liked to even talk to them. I dressed like a bum, I had balls to do approaches but never they NEVER escalated anywhere. I was terrible. I was an awkward little bitch with attractive women, told them they were pretty, did everything wrong. Some of you may say I was too young to start this but you honestly don't understand how bad I was, I was desperate.

Now? I've made a huge improvement. I dress really nice. Have had two girlfriends. Done just about EVERYTHING, yes, everything. I am not a virgin. Approach Anxiety is completely gone. My game is on point from time to time ya know? It has it's moments. I don't know why, one week i'll do insanely good, another week im like "... what the fuck..." so I can tell you I still have alot of work to do. I've gotten PLENTY of numbers. Plenty of fails, plent of successful approaches. The way i see "picking up" is all psychology. We basically flick the attraction switch in the back of the female mind using psychology, we know what we're doing, we know what's going on, they don't, all they know is they want the D.

Crazy thing is I'm black. Out of the hundreds of pua's out there only like one is black. I will be posting successful stories and fail stories on here. I hope to make some new pua friends on here as I only have 2 in my area that read the same material as me.

I do have a question though. What do you think is more effective, indirect openers or direct? I've seen both be very effective but both fail very hard. Also post what you usually use as an opener. There's so many out there and I'd like to know what other people are saying. I usually go indirect and say "Quick question, who do you think lies more, boys or girls?" Then I follow up with a story or some shit or go based off something they said.

Everything, eh? Oh, dish dish!!!

Nah, I'm kidding dude.

But I've seen this issue with most friends I go out with- They score maybe one/ two girls on week A, and don't on week B. Its because on week B they either might be trying too hard to emulate week A OR be running the same things past quite oppose-type girls. Every woman has a different mindset. The real skill of a true PUA is to distinguish what type of girl he is running game on within a few seconds. Sometimes it's harder than other times, but you'll find that when you subconsciously do it right, your laughing.

I had a friend at university, who was desperate to pull a 'fit girl', but in 3 years didn't pull one. Because whenever he went out at night, he tried too hard. Seriously, THE last week of the last semester, I took him on Day Gaming in coffee shops and markets for the first time, I taught him what NOT to do. He got two girls in his final week. What a legend that boy is.

But you seem to be a relatively competent guy at approaching, and I'm suprised at your fails...

My opener in supermarkets is if you see a girl looking around on shelves for something that she can't find, I say "You look about as lost as I am..." ( I pretend to be looking for something that I can't find too. Except do NOT do this while your on the tampon aisle, it makes you just look strange...)
The girl will almost always giggle and say what she is looking for. I take a few seconds to 'look' for her. It all depends on the aisle your both on really. You could always use the products on the aisle to "create" a funny story that you were in recently. (of course you weren't, all you want to do is make her laugh, and feel more comfortable around you.) So you could say that indirect openers are more suited towards Day Gaming. Girls on a night out at the bar will be expecting guys to approach her and tell her how hot she is, or whether they can buyu her a drink. Of course they can get her a free drink, its free for her. And it's a drink. But most girls won't be expecting anything like a direct opener (-Insert witty opener here-)

So it can normally depend on when your gaming really dude. But in different scenarios during the day game slot, direct openers 'could' work, but don't be surprised if they fail at this time. Unless you produce something fantastic. If you do have something fantastic- what the hell is it, I'd love to know lol!
