| Wow, this is the thread I've been waiting for.
From 9 months in the game - I've done 20 minutes pulls, day game that converted after one meet, pulled to restrooms, etc... so I have some experience, but I'm still relatively new at this. I've made a decision a few days ago to take my game to the next level by being more systematic and analyzing everything I've learned so far. My main effort is to become better at SNL but I totally understand where SA911 is coming from.
If you want to get laid and you don't, because you go out to clubs night after night trying to do ONS, then SA911's method is your best bet.
SA911 did not know about the community so he wasn't exposed to this "same night lays only" mentality that most of us have. He developed his own approach, one that we ALL know is consistent: "solid" numbers from bars and clubs while then a day 2 at his place "for dinner and a movie". This works - period. I'd say 80% "conversion rate" (haha) from day 2 or day 3 is my experience as well. Especially when you properly "design" the date.
The two main points here are simply:
A) SOLID numbers.
B) DATE DESIGN.
A) Sold numbers means that you take the number after a MINIMUM of 20 minutes interaction, if not more. You must really attract the girl and connect with her, possibly make out with her but not too much, in fact the less you do, the better. You must show that you are a sexual person but in the same time show restrain, this is very powerful. Then go for the number when it's obvious that it is "on" and already seed the date in the process. Such numbers will RARELY flake.
B) Example of "date design" - A girl I day gamed, number closed in coffee shop.
From a 5 minute set during the day I simply could not pull her to my place for the day 2, so I spent 4 hours in a bar with her "on a date". Then day 3 - she met me at my apartment - I took her to a club to teach her salsa for an hour - then back to my place where I cooked her dinner - a 3 hours movie that made her miss the last bus - then to bed. A 20 years old, a 9, with a perfect body.
Why is this a "perfect date"? The salsa allowed me to escalate on her while being her "teacher" - a very good frame to be in. Salsa is sexy as fuck and as she did not know any - she was putty in my hands: spinning her around, throwing her from one side to the other, showing her the moves, holding her close to me, etc etc... Then from club back to my place (it's 50 meters away) cooking for her - tons of value, shows that I'm putting the effort, that I can cook, bla bla bla I don't have to explain. Then I throw her on the sofa, a 3 hours movie which I knew will make her miss the last bus (haha) while snuggling together under a huge blanket finishing half a bottle of wine. Three different activities in one night.... zero resistance, it was a perfect night. And guess what? I'm going to, and have, repeated the exact same date with other girls. Design a "perfect date" which ends up at your place (food is the best excuse) and execute it again and again. You're allowed to change only two things - I) the movie II) the girl.
Now about SNL: They are possible, and consistently, but they require a certain type of game, specifically massive calibration in terms on which girls you approach and your own game. There are MANY factors that go into this:
Age - your age, her age. I feel the older the chick is, the easier it is to pull a ONS but I might be wrong here. If you're older than the chick - this is good, unless you're MUCH older in which case it will be a problem.
Location (as in what country you're in / city / etc) - for example I find Poland to be much more difficult than the Czech Republic, I know that American girls are very easy, etc etc....
Venue - a posh place where everybody know each other, and come to "see and be seen" vs. an alternative "hipster" bar where people go to get wasted or a place known to be a "pick up bar"
Time of night - many girls want to hangout with their friends before being taken home by a guy - so you either have to hit on them late in the night or open them early but then expect to spend with them at least 2-3 hours until close to closing time.
Day of the week - I find the weekend to be much more "wild" in that respect. The girls that go hunting would usually go out on the weekend or towards the weekend.
So what I think would be a good strategy is:
A) identify the best venues, the more alternative, "pick up friendly" places.
B) start the night early opening sets and collecting "solid numbers" for future day 2s and for putting yourself in state.
C) about two hours from closing time - start hunting for girls who look like they would be down for a SNL. WM's list is great so I'll repeat it:
- Lone wolfs
- Women who are showing more skin than most other girls
- Chicks who don't look like they club a lot.
- The older chicks in the room. (A woman who is 27 in a room full of 19 year olds would count as the older woman)
- Women who just seem horny. (You learn to pick up on this)
and I'll add:
- Women who dance more sensually than others.
- Women who seems to be drinking more than others
- Women who hang-out next to the bar
- Women who walk around the bar / dancefloor as if they are "looking for trouble"
Here, again I'll repeat - the older they are, the faster you can pull them. The fastest pull I did, 20 minutes, was with a 36 years old. Girls who are younger will require more time.
D) I'll usually find these girls on the DANCE FLOOR. They are easy to recognize and can be easily opened. You'd simply start dancing with them, get closer, take her hand, spin, put her arms around you, dance dance dance - then by feel either try to make out or start talking by saying "hey what's your name" and then pulling to talk or continue dancing depending the signs she's giving you.
E) I know it is tempting to try and do a "20 minutes pull" but I think that even with such girls - you need to expect this to take between 40 minutes to 90 minutes. So I think the best would be to escalate quickly and yet not too quickly as to "burn" the tension between you two. What I think would be best is to dance / makeout - then lead to bar for a drink, talk and connect, dance some more, then try to pull. If you feel the girl is ready or it's closing time - simply ask her "do you want to go out of here?" or say "lets get out of here" and physically pull her out of the club. She won't ask where are you taking her, and if she does, say you're taking her to an after party and follow the instructions below.
EDIT - the reason I say you should still put in the time is that I had cases in which I felt that I simply went too fast too far. Two examples - a girl I started to dance with and make out with within 5 minutes, and then pulled into the restroom. Once in the restroom I pulled her tits out, started sucking on them, then tried to take her shirt off, but she did not let me. Why? Because at that point we have NOT EXCHANGED A SINGLE WORD. Sure, I could have got lucky with her, but it was simply too much to ask for, too fast. So after some more tit sucking and a little handjob, she snapped out of it and (rightfully) wanted out. If I had more patience and waited a little longer (as in 20 minutes vs the 5 minutes ....) I might have been able to pull her or she would allowed me to bang her in the restroom. But 5 minutes is simply, in most cases, too fast. 2nd example - I've pulled a girl from a club within 20 minutes. We started walking to my apartment and half way there he phone started ringing. Her friends started screaming on her that she does not know me at all (which was absolutely true!) and demanded that she return to the club. These guys just kept calling and calling and calling, they probably called her 10 times in less than 15 minutes. By the time we arrived to my apartment - she totally snapped out of it and wouldn't come up with me. If I invested more time with her in the bar and allowed her friends to know me, I could probably fuck her that night... again, lack of patience.
If you're trying to do a SNL with a "normal" girl - not one of the above types - then you will need to PUT THE EFFORT and spend at least 3-4 hours with her. You CANNOT escalate too quickly. I find that in these cases "the faster the better" is NOT valid unless you're in college or in some place like LA or NY.
YOU MUST calibrate and learn to GIVE THE GIRL WHAT SHE NEEDS. Often it will be a slow escalation that will allow her to feel that SHE HAS WON YOU OVER. The super sexy / confident / I do this shit all the time type of game will NOT work here (from MY experience... ) Girls do not like to go home with guys who they feel are "players" (unless they are players themselves - see the above type) - you must make it seem like it's not something that you usually do, by saying stuff like "I don't know why but I feel really comfortable with you", "I feel really good with you, I don't know... it's strange", projecting future dates etc... you must put the time and effort, wait out the night until closing time, escalate slowly but surely, and then try to pull the girl home BY SOME EXCUSE (again, this is MY experience !) What I usually do is tell them to come with me to some other club where there's free drinks, they will usually say yes, and I'll then take them to my apartment. They will either show no resistance (because they wanted to come to my place anyway) or they will show resistance and in that case I'll just pull them in and tell them "we did all this way! just for 5 minutes! we'll drink a little and go out again!" and then 95% of the time they will come right in.
It will also be good to bring during the conversation themes of being adventurous, of "living the moment", cold reading bullshit.... connect connect connect "old school" MM.
EDIT - Push / pull is supremely important, especially in the first 20 minutes. Most guys mistake is that the just PULL. This is a HUGE mistake. You MUST push and break rapport and let them chase you a little / letting them feel that they won you over by their wit and personality - NOT LOOKS. You MUST be authentically interested in WHO THEY ARE and let them feel that they passed your screens I.E that you have values and they have past your tests.
If anybody has more ideas about how to pull SNL I'll happy to hear them, that is the "holy grail" of pick up and the ultimate skill to master. I'll try to think of more things to add... but meanwhile I'm eager to hear your ideas.
