What's up guys!


How well do direct approaches work? Like just walking up to her and saying shes hot and asking for her number. What is her usual response/reaction? I'm assuming really good looking guys can pull it off, but what about everyone else :D


Thanks

I'm not the best looking guy in the world at all. Here is the think about compliments if you walk up and you're like, "Hey you're hot." She can only say thanks. If you are going to give a compliment put some more effort into it. Like, "You know what makes you really gorgeous is the fact your eyes are very symetrical to your face, and it's agreeable to the eye...."

The key here is being sincere about whatever it is that you say. She can smell bullshit a mile away. You have to be genuine about whatever you say or it's going to collapse on you like a house of cards. :)

Anyways, there are other direct ways to open. Here is one I used a few nights ago on Wednesday. Here is an excerpt from my Field Report.
Quote:
Smiling, Eye Contact, Direct "I saw you over here. You look pretty cool....you seem almost bored...so I wanted to come see what you are all about, I'm Jon." She smiles extends her hand and introduces herself as Katie. I have a bar stool chair in between us, her back is to the bar. As we start talking her friend stops talking to the guy she's speaking with for long enough to tell me I look familiar. She's a bartender in Cadillac Ranch and recognizes me. Small world.

I go back to talking to Katie and she's telling me about herself instantly qualifying to me. I'm 24 years old, I'm a chemistry major, pharmasist, etc. I give her some personal information about me as well and then we start talking about the basic stuff. I'm branching and building off these topics as they come up being very natural.

About that time I see an opening between the two girls. I lock in with my back to the bar between them and continue talking to Katie. About this time Ben comes over and we're talking about how they are both from Michigan and stuff like that. He does a great job getting some intial rapport with her, staying at my energy level, and making her laugh as I have been. It was damn near flawless, and then he rolls off.

Good question. I also wonder about this. Last Friday, I did use this to sarge an HB8.

Clooney: Here we meet again!
HB: [Smiles]
Clooney: If you don't mind my saying this, I think you look really lovely.
HB: Oh, thanks! It's my birthday.
Clooney: Wow ! Happy Birthday!
HB: THanks
Clooney: When I saw you, you instantly reminded me of X-Factor. My cousin is auditioning for it. And you look like last year's winner, Alexandra!
HB: My name is Alexandra!
Cloooney: No way! What are the chances of this happening?! Do you sing?
HB: Yes.

Then, I carried on the chat. Two guys were watching all this in a public place.
[To American PUAs, X-Factor is Britain's equivalent of American Idol. It gave the world Leona Lewis]

She told me she's off to Nando's with her friends.
Clooney: You don't deserve to take the bus to get there. Where's the limo?!
Alexandra: My friend is runnning late. That's why I had to take the bus.

Should I have number-closed? This is still my weakness. After this success, I didn't even ask for her number.

This was the first time I ever used the direct opener. How did I do? This girl is actuallly prettier than Alexandra Burke. Mystery says that a PUA shouldn't telegraph interest with a compliment. What do you think? By giving compliments, so early, am I coming across as a "nice guy?" Would an Alpha male really just go in and say "You look lovely, I had to come and talk to you." An HB8 or 9 would be getting hit on like this every day.

I really need the experienced guys to give us advice on this topic.

I look forward to hearing from you.

PS:
Unbelievably, on a different bus, on the next morning, the same girl comes on. She notices me and says Hello. On the previous night, I wore a baseball cap. This time, I had not cap. Yet, she still recognised me. We talked. Yet, I still let her go without number-closing. Why? The usual fear of rejection. Also, I felt we would be bumping into each other again. So, not asking for her number could be to my advantage as I'm not showing interest. What do you think?

tbh you need to be good looking in relation to the girl, unless the girl is not shallow, which in most cases is not the case. if you're going to go in direct go in confident and with a strong compliment rather than a subtle 'cool' one, if she seems to conform the slightest just introduce yourself and get things going with a generic question like 'where abouts are you from' or 'you doing anything fun this weekend?' then invite her to whatever event you and your friends are going to... confidence and body language are key and yes they DO work, at clubs extremely well seeing as the girl will be under the unfluence of alcohol, but also in the day

I am in two minds about this I use direct game kino and vocal to peak emotions quickly and make my intentions clear, if you are still not blown out after a minute or two you will be so much further ahead in my opinion than going indirect.

Anyways I think the key is to go group direct, "hey you guys look like the cutest girls here hows it going?". Massive amount of value given and if you do it sincerely you can move into jealousy plots and other MM shenanigans pretty nicely with a disarmed set
