Ok, so I'm having as much trouble as a very green rAFC with WHEN and WHERE as I am with learning to talk to women. Many others seem to too, and I'm not finding information. Please add locations, when those spots are best, any notes, and especially when is prime time. I'll be updating this as people add. Personally I am going for women near my age of 28 and have a minor bias FOR women with kids, but I'll add whatever locations you give me.

----
This is for day-game only and results will vary by age. Keep in mind that WHEN is at least as relevant as where.

1) Grocery stores: (By far the best & easiest I can find), women are usually solo or only with kids if they have them (read: approachable).
When: Friday "after work" ~4:30 PM - 6:15pm. (end time was almost exact and abrupt; I don't know the start time)
Grocery stores reported Saturdays as next best "throughout the day".

2) Mall: double check the food court.
when: 3 30 pm till 6/7 pm. Starrk tends to find girls in their late 20s in the cosmetic section. I don't know the days this applies to.


3) Book stores/coffee houses/maybe even the library. Also I don't know how to tell which one has the most women to game.
When: Starbucks: 5 pm till 9/10 pm. Usually filled with young ladies
(phone calls pending)

4) Events: Find a good local event guide be it in print, your city's newspaper's website, or whatever. Searching Google found me a lot of worthless guides. Find a good one. Cities should have a steady stream of events, such as air shows, even if they are all only annual events. Most of these will draw a crowd, but also pay attention to the likely demographics; a bikini contest may not have odds in your favor. Expect women in groups.
When: Especially the weekends, but don't overlook the weekday activities either.

5) Small/free concerts: There are numerous places where there is free live music, usually outside. A lot of these aren't listed in the event guides but are recurring (weekly/daily). Many will draw a crowd so expect women in groups. When is obviously the stated times of the concert, plus before & after.
When:

6)Parks: I've had trouble with this one. Be explicitly attentive to the weather & season as they won't be as popular in the snow, rain, or heat. Also go for "bigger" parks and ones connected to a bike path may work slightly better, or offer an alternative if too few targets are there. May draw Mom's with kids more. (Anybody with experience PLEASE comment, I'd love to understand this one in particular better).
When:

7) The historical district. Most cities seem to have their oldest part a scenic historic district that draws a crowd year round. Again, the weather is probably relevant and I'd LOVE to hear WHEN from anybody that knows.
When:

8)Public transportation: Bus/subway. You can take this even if you have a car.
When: My guess would be after work if your looking for women older than college.

9) Beaches, if they are a swimming lake or the ocean. Watch the weather.
When:

10)Groups, clubs, & classes. They are logistically hard, but for rAFC's they are easier because of the expectation of social interaction. Meetup.com has an extensive listing that are easy to drop out of when out of targets, but don't stop looking there.
When: Whenever the group meets.

11) Gyms. Wonder past the weight equipment... I hear Yoga, & some classes, are mostly women.
When: during normal work hours, I tend to find 'older' women, like moms and grannies. After working hours (like 19h - 21h), also the younger (teen / colleges/ working) girls come around.(rockslide)

12) Cheese Cake Factory: You have to wait a bit for a table, while people wait, I tend to see lots of smoking hot ladies of sitting at the bars and stuff. It's also awesome to tell the waitress that it's the girl's you just met birthday, she brings free ice cream and you can eat it together.
When: Lunch and dinner hours.

Z) Misc
Amusement park, water park, video game arcades, Fast food places, movie theaters.
If it's in this list I don't know how, or where, to game there or question it's value. If you actually have, or are thinking about gaming there post some useful info, including comments on when.


X) Traps: If it's in this list, avoid it as a waste of time
Online dating


Notes: Day game is partly getting women wherever you are, not just going hunting for them. If you see a woman at the gas station, say Hi, but you cannot wait at the gas station or game in an empty mall. (I Field tested the second one by the way...)

If you've read this PLEASE add to the list and speak up about WHEN or even the results you've had where. All I have firmly is when to go grocery shopping and to read the paper for weekend events. What do you have to add, times work best for these, or additional help do you have?

Starbucks Sunday 12-3pm. Sit down next to one girl, do whatever, then after 5 minutes turn to her and speak in a quiet voice about something you notice about her - her book, laptop, etc. don't force it. it's either win or lose. you can follow up with "i feel awkward/nervous.. becuase i dont usually talk to ppl at starbucks." if you really hit it off, say "take down my number" if not, don't force it. just leave.

Since I more favor day game, I thought I would add what times I notice girls showing up the most at various locations. This is more applies to girls in their late 20's who tend to have their life more together and are on their own. Note this assumes the girl works an 8 to 5 type of job during the week. Tho not all girls do work such a job.


Mall - For the most part most show up late afternoon or in the evening during the week and generally all afternoon during the weekend. More girls will show up if there is a sale or two going on at popular clothing stores. So if you get wind of a sale going on say at Victoria Secret it may be best to hit the mall, especially if its a big sale.

Beach - As you may suspect most girls will be at the beach during summer time when its nice and hot out and there is a reason to wear a bikini. Most girls will be at the beach during the weekend when its their day off. I would say any time after 10:00 AM is good. As by then girls would have had time to wake up and get to the beach and find a spot.

Grocery stores - Most girls will show up here late in the afternoon on they way to home after work and they are picking something for dinner or what ever. Some will come later on at night time as well. Tho I would say weekends during the afternoon is your best bet.

Events/Concerts - This one is hard as it really depends on what the event/concert is. Its best to look into the event/concert before going there blindly.

Parks - I would say this really depends on the park and the location of them. Small community parks tend to not get many people. Bigger parks tend to have more stuff and so attract more people. Also if you have a dog, don't leave out dog parks. Generally people take their dogs to dog parks during the afternoon on weekends. But do watch the weather. If its hot out more people will take their dogs out later in the day, which includes night time.

Downtown Areas - Its best to scout out such areas as each one is different really. Some are hopping during the day and not so at night time, while others are quite during the day and hopping at night time.

This generally goes for any popular/busy restaurant really.

lol. Why put online dating here? Its not exactly day game.

I just mall hop, since there are about 3 or 4 malls in my area 10 minutes drive from each other.

in any queue of a shop.
a fragrance store - quick opinion ..

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Unfortunately there really isn't much here for beaches. The grocery store has worked for me when I've had groceries to get. I guess I'll be experimenting heavily with the malls & events. We do have a dog park so I may have to go back to that at some point.

With my kids I'm pretty much stuck with day game only.
