Post subject:  4 numbers and a slap- the adventures of lesarge

This is a recount of my first ever in-field sarge. I've been to clubs millions of times but after having read those books and doing a little reading in here I took it upon myself to go and for the first time actually try to pick up women in an intelligent way.

I had mixed results, as the title says I ended the night with 4 different girls numbers and a good slap on the nose.

My usual style is the same one that my friends used yesterday night, that is- try to look cool, check all the girls out from a distance, huddle for safety. Looking back at them while in sets made me realise what they actually look like to people looking at them from an outside perspective-chumps.
    For me having confidence has never been a problem, and I've always "opened sets" but I always crashed and burned when my overly cocky style simply got me ignored. One can only take so much of ths before frustration sets in and I fall back on my "huddle and look cool" technique along with my friends who find me funny but have totally lost respect for me, along with anyone else in the club who happened to see my antics.
    But yesterday night! Now yesterday night was different. While my afc friends shot supermodel pouts indiscriminately around the venue, I kept a smile on my face and tried to look like I was having fun even If I wasn't. I moved around the venue taking
b-i-g strides, dancing as I moved and making sure my attention was focused on things that didn't take my fancy. It paid off quickly. Ioi's came more from acting in this way than they ever did from grabbing girls or dancing in their faces ever did (yes that was my standard tactic, thank god for the books). 
    I wanted to treat yesterday night as a dress rehearsal, not pinning too much hope on its outcome and just trying to debunk or validate as much as I could from the books. I wanted to know what it was like reaching the hook point, what body language to look for from sets as I opened them to tell me I was getting away with it or simply boring them, and generally try and open as many sets as possible. The one goal I set myself was to open 10 sets, I approached god knows how many strangers but good solid sets numbered around the 7 mark.
    
"what did you just say to those girls" "just wanted an opinion" "on what exactly?" "oh just got this friend whos girlfriend is going to Zante soon, and he thinks she might cheat on him. Was asking them if they think that girls cheat more or boys cheat more. It's a classic opener style made up, girls love talking about themselves so I think one can reach the hook point much quicker from a set when using openers that let girls slate men based on their personal experiences" "eh? Who the fuck is style? What you on about hooking sets??"

I didn't care that reading a book on pick up artistry made me "sad", I was approaching girls, talking to them, and they were talking to me. This was progress.

So anyway it didn't take long for the small amount of finesse I had to disappear in a whiskey mist, and my old habits to show their faces. At 3am manners had left the club to go and have a cigarette, and I was grinding on ungrateful girls and being more obnoxious than energetic- but there was hope still. The mystery method hadn't deserted me. Don't stare at a girl that your interested in, act as if you don't know she exists. Keep a smile on your face, look like your having fun not like your "cool". Open sets within 3 seconds of seeing them (even if open did at this point mean "jump into and grind on"). use openers that suggest you have a completely non-sexual intention.

Even though I was acting a complete dick I was still being socially proofed. Everyone saw me jumping around like a jackass, but they also saw that I was having fun. I saw an old female friend standing with 3 classic orbiters and got talking to her about anything but sex, eventually-playing a fools game but getting her away from the orbiters-and buying her a drink then getting a number close. A moose soon appeared in the club and I sat it down and got a kiss close and number close from it, thinking for some reason at the time that it in fact wasn't a moose. It was. Looking back I'm not sure why I offended my phone with her number but it was fun at the time. In another club my grinding antics actually paid off when a leggy 7 grinded back on me. I instantly became a disinterested gentleman and allowed her to peck me on the cheek after getting a number close (the 4th number I actually got earlier that day before I went out, so technically the night was 3 numbers and a slap).
   Never have I had this much success. It is however just the beginning. I have a lot more research and a lot more failed sets ahead of me, but I'm certainly seeing that the books and the whole pua thing is FAR from bullshit, but is in fact a fine social science just like sociology. Except you get laid at the end.

By the way the slap came from a 2 set that I very unwisely tried to open. There was a girl tending to another girl that was leaning against a wall and crying. Wagging my finger at the sobbing blonde (4) I slid over and said "you don't need him sister he ain't worth it" her friend turned and looked at me for around half a second, and without any warning swung a delicate backhand gracefully into my nose. Who knew the game could be dangerous as well as embarrassing. 

And thus concludes my first sarge.
