I'm 22 and have been I guess teaching myself to social dance that women and men do for about a year. I'm decently social and connected but don't have the success with women that I feel I deserve. So I'm starting a pickup journal, to keep track of progress.


June 17

It's unfortunate that I'm starting on an off night though. No #'s, I opened a few but then lost focus. I'm actually pretty upset I gave up so early. -______-

Now that I think about it I'm really pissed I left early.

Should I chronicle failed pickups?

Experience seems to tell me that if I screw up initial eye contact then the rest of the set is normally screwed up and normally doesn't play out the way I had wished. Soon after I start psyching myself out of trying to open her anyway.

But I don't really have a problem approaching women and opening if everything goes correctly from the get go. I can't tell whether it's a weird case of AA or just me being anal and trying to predict the outcome of my pickups before I do them.

Whatever it is I need to fix this shit. Now.

I'm also trying to come up with a decent format for journal updates/entries. Maybe a method of laying out my pickups/attempted pickups and goals. Judging from last night I might as well type all/most of my experiences in order to receive accurate feedback.

BTW to anyone that's interested I have a custom scale for rating HB's on physical appearance:

"This system was created in order to accurately rate women based only on their physical attributes. The reason for this is it desensitizes the man (to an extent) to her beauty and assigns her a number out of thirty. A 10(face)-10(tits)-10(ass) point system is used and the defendant has to score higher than 21 to be considered girlfriend material. 17-20 is fuckable but they're missing something and 16 and under counts as the jury (those that shall not be judged)

Baseline curves:

- 1-2 points for being overweight
+ 1-2 points for certain body types

Remember that the judge is only the first of the second test. Judge them first, use "The System" to gauge their personality score. "

HB 22/23

So last night I went to this local bar/club. Ironically it's the only one in this county. Nonetheless after scouting for a while I decided I had to break out of my shell (especially since this is a new location) and approached a 2 set of a 22 and 23 in the lounge area. I sat beside them and broke the ice, they both looked put off and bitchy in general and tried to dismiss me with the I don't speak English line. I returned with: "Haha it's alright I also speak spanish" (in spanish) and started to continue trying to open them both. But after a few minutes it was obvious I was beating a dead horse. (Plus I was just doing it to warm up) So I excused myself and left.

HB Amber (Didn't get a great look at her I think 19)

She was sitting in a cut behind the dance stage texting furiously on her phone, but the music was so loud that I couldn't verbally communicate effectively . I sat on the other side of the table and pulled out my phone. After about a minute I showed her the message I typed: "Who are you texting?" She laughed and replied nobody, and went back to her phone. This went on for a bit and after cleverly getting her name from her friends (who were trying to cockblock but were denied by Amber) This went on for a bit, and I jokingly told her that I was a deaf mute (I thought I was obviously bullshitting.) But when she believed me I think I was turned off. Nonetheless I ended up just getting up from the table and left. Now that I think of it though I feel like could have done so much more.

Like I said it wasn't really a great night

HB ??

This is what really left a sour taste in my mouth. So I'm sitting at a table alone scouting and this tasty little tart locks eyes with me as she walks past. Now she noticed me before I noticed her and it kind of put me off. So when the eye contact was there I broke it (like a noob) and I knew from the state I had screwed up. She went and posted up at the end of the bar in a quiet corner, but since I screwed up the initial eye contact I wussed myself out of set. Eventually she noticed I was acting like a p***y and left. Frustrated with myself and a little beaten I got up and left the club.

Typing it all out actually makes me feel a little bit better about the whole night. I'm a bit excited to get back to my college town at the end of this week though. Familiar bars, larger network, and easier targets.

Till next time *Sigh*

HB: Nicole (20)

She was handing out free samples at some frozen yogurt store my cousin and I were walking past. I stopped and grabbed one as he walked inside for who knows what. I was comfortable and confident and started chatting her up. She told me about how she was a student and that she lived in the area blah blah. She eventually went back inside and got more free samples, and when she came out my cousin was close behind. (signaling it was time for us to roll) After having another sample I blanked out on a subject to talk about (which is disappointing because I have a pretty sweet list of stuff to queue into memorized) and ejected.

Idk what's been going on with me lately, at school this is all SO much easier.

HB 21

Me and my Dad are in the grocery store and I'm talking to him about some song, and we both spot this one down the isle. So Dad (being the social butterfly he is) goes up and asks the girl about some device she's using to scan items before she buys them. She answers and I make strong eye contact when I chime in. After he had his question answered we ejected and started to go on about our business when I realized...

He just opened for me, I should have started set and aimed at getting her phone number. *Fuck*

Lesson to be learned: Be ready to game at all times.

Lilivina and Madgelene 23-24

A few friends and I were at an are you hungry and I while I was being a bit wild this 3 set of ladies walked in. All 3 within the 21-24 range and one of them started some heavy eye contact as soon as she walked in. So she started off towards me and offers some line about her thinking I was alone. I laughed it off and she walked off. Before I left and my friend walked out to the car early I had the chance to at least # close, but instead I got their names (Because I was sure I'd see them again in such a small town) and left.

I'm an idiot. I feel and know how the game feels but I feel like I'm lacking spontaneity

So I'm determined to get out of this funk.

Number close #1 Emily (HB19)

She was a friend of a friend's, he had told me he was meeting up with her earlier and I was just meeting the "friend". She was a cute girl (HB19) liked to maintain alot of eye contact, so I started pouring on the kino. As she started to reciprocate, she told me she had a bf and wherever he was. (except here) I pulled the straw man but she laughed it off and maintained her body language. I tried to bounce a bit earlier than I should have and ruined the vibe. So instead of hitting the k-close that I wanted I settled for her number.

It would have been cold, but I think I could have kissed her right at the table while our friends watched.

Failed Number close #1 Lina (HB24)

I'm upset for fucking this up. I sat down and keyed in on your accent rooted deep within South America. You loved it and were very flattered, I started on the kino with light leg petting during conversation. You took kindly to it and seemed very receptive. Some guy came and tried to block but I engaged him and reinstated my place in the conversation (they knew each other) Nonetheless as I made my leave I went for a the hand and she took the hug. I decided to (and catch this...) GIVE her my number. I normally make it a rule never to give out my number. I fucked up.

Shitty pic but damn she was cute


Failed K-close #2 Lina (20)

Eh, I was close. I've kissed her before so it wasn't a big deal. I could have done better when I made my exit though. Next time I suppose
-----------------------------
Feels good to take the first steps out of being in a rut. I'm aiming for k-closes nowadays but I they take a bit of work. (and directness) But if I have to settle for a number I guess I will. I want to crush AA and manage to stay in tune with her as long as possible

K-close Michelle (17 maybe)

I was at work, after a good full day a blond borderline MILF walks in 10 min before closing. She doesn't really shoot me any IOI's and I'm not really focusing on her because I'm busy. So I'm singing in the restaurant while closing and she asks me to sing for her. We finished most of our work by this point so I serenade her with half of a song. She loves it and asks me to join her outside for a cig. I don't smoke but I join her anyway (for the sake of PUA) As we're outside and conversing I start diving a bit deeper into her life. Married, 2 kids, no love for her husband, hasn't had sex in over a year. So I bounce her to a more private courtyard after I get off my shift. Eventually through conversation she doesn't have a choice but to kiss me. I motioned for a blowjob but didn't try hard enough and took the L. (Plus I really didn't want to fuck her. I feel like she could sense it) She asked me for my information and I fed her a fake number and went on about my night.

Went out just to enjoy the day with a wing and practice day game.

#N-close Jennifer (19)

She was a asshole's ex girlfriend that had been lingering in my social circle for the last few weeks. So I literally just walked up to her and asked her for her phone #.

Tried a few openings during the day but nothing really gave itself way for any day game.

Lame.

*While I was sarging the other night I got offered a job as a club promoter for the upcoming semester. I'm pretty psyched about the social status boost it could give me. *

Day Game # Close Jess (18+)

I've been getting my day game back on track recently, so when I saw her sitting at the receptionist desk at the local desk I just had to get her. I got opened earlier since the girls liked my ID picture. After I stopped chatting her up I left to go to the locker room. When I came out I made up some b.s about wanting advice on a workout I was developing and got her number.

This text conversation happened a few hours later

(we go on about 3-4 lines talking about the workout plan)

Eventually..

Her: Ok so let me ask you first why you chose to get my number? Ha coz I dont usually give my number out to ppl idk so as long as this is for advice then I'm cool.

Me: When I meet people I think are capable of carrying reputable conversation I ask them for their phone number. If that's not you then tell me now and I won't contact you anymore.

Her: KK Cool, I'm down, what's your major?

(conversation continues)

I feel like I handled that shit-test well.


Number close Lindsay (??? I was drunk)

I don't remember shit about her and I had been drinking way too much at this point. I should just delete the number. But I knew I wasn't seriously trying (because I was drunk)

I put off writing this one because of lack of success (or what I consider it)

Went clubbing last night and passed up a few great targets. Two of them in particular

One HB 22 because she instantly told me she had a bf, soon after her friend (who I assumed was her bf) came up brought me a drink and started chatting me up. I love a good Guinness and after 2 sentences with him she had slipped out of my grasp.

Another HB 24+ I might have been intimidated by her beauty but (I thought at the time) she gave me great IOI's such as smiling, dismissing her male friend and entertaining our conversation. Even though we were on the dance floor and it was loud. When it came time for the first bounce I ejected and hated myself for it.


We had some n-closes just to make sure it wasn't a waste but ughhh.. Rejection I can deal with. But when it's me not making the effort it's upsetting.


I missed the perfect oppurtunity today on the bus to n-close, simply because I hadn't had enough time to build rapport.

And the reason why is because it took me 3-5 min to think of an opener before I started conversation.


Tomorrow I'm going out to attempt the newbie mission and start taking steps to stamp out any chance of AA

Been a while since my last update,

Since my last update my wing and I went out and completed the newbie mission. Now let me tell you, it's not that bad until you get to stores like Rue21 or Victoria's Secret and all the women in the store are staring at you.

Nonetheless it's complete and I feel awesome.

Since then I've had:


N-close Jackie (20.5)

A co-worker, and I really don't like to mix work and pleasure but the nice round ass on this girl made it damn there impossible for me to just let her become a seed. It was her first day with me training her and she was pushing some heavy eye contact. So I tested the water throughout the day with some dirty jokes and entry kino. Got her number at the end of our shift and she's been texting me ever since..

N-close Tara

After a night out with my wings we're about to drive home and he challenges me to go speak to these two girls that we see on the corner. So I do and one of them is crying about who knows what. I give her a hug and then start talking about their situation (missing the last bus) and how I had been in the same predicament before. So we offered them a ride. Her friend offered a date like 3 or 4 times and stupidly I got the crying girl's number instead of her willing friend.

"Take what's in the hand, not the bush"

I should listen to my own advice.

Since then I've gotten a few other numbers but nothing substantial has come out of it. My wing says I don't want it enough

Since my last post I've been just opening alot with hello/hi and just keeping any bit of AA out of my system. I've also made a few number closes and have decided to throw a party this weekend. I throw damn good parties


Cya sunday morning.

It's been a while,

The party last sat was fun. Twister, truth or dare, card games, and pong. It was awesome.

I didn't get a chance to really game at the party because my 1itis for the time had come up to visit and was sleeping in my room during the weekend stay. Long story short she wouldn't have sex with me until I was committed emotionally to her. Wasn't going to happen, so there was no sex. But a whole lot of things in between.

Since then (and her going home) I've successfully:

- Gone on a day 2
- Winged for a friend and ended up bouncing these 3 chicks back to our place where I received the WORST bj known to man. (Teeeeeeettttttttthhhhhh)
- Picked up/ Got naked pics (took about a day)/ and got some random chick from FB to come visit. (she wasn't up to my standards irl so she didn't get any dick)
- Been gaming and increasing my social circle, slowly but surely.

Still havent gotten laid yet. Damnit

I don't want this to sound needy but I wish I got some kind of feedback. (even if this is tehniqually for me alone)

Anyways.. I've been doing some pretty solid gaming and even managed to link a HB8 to my plutonic female friends in order to 1: Occupy her time 2: Raise my social worth. Worked so well that my wing girl essentially dropped her in my lap last night at my place.

Count it as my first successful f-close since I've started studying the PUA lifestyle.

Since I'm in a college town a lot of my game is a bit more drawn out than I'd imagine real life is about but even my social circle is seeing sexual growth. I'm now much more comfortable with telling women what I want sexually, resetting mind frames (mine and hers), steering conversations in the direction I want, and developing my inner game into something much more formidable. I told my f-close: the only difference between us is that I learned how to use my sexual guns later.
