I have AA, and it comes from the main fact that I go to a small school where I can run into the same girls nearly every day of the week, and what I fear is screwing up and then perhaps developing a reputation or whatever. It seems that sarging always works better at anonymous social places such as bars clubs but in the context of a university that whole idea of never running into somebody ever again doesnt work out here.

Otis, a big difference between PUA in a small group and PUA in the wild is that your real social standing is paramount in a closed environment while you can largely focus on other aspects of game in an external setting with strangers. There is a book called "Conquer your Campus" which deals extensively with this exact issue.

The problem with the small group is your social standing is already likely well established and known to your targets? Or more likely its not known, so the girls just assume your not one of the 10-20% of Alpha guys on campus they know of, and are pursuing regularly. So unless you can raise your standing within the circle of your school (to Alpha status) your unlikely to have great success in that environment. The good news is that if you have high standing within your school the girls will pretty much come to you with little effort - its a double edged sword.

Out in the wild no one knows you from a hole in the wall. Thus you can improve your overall game and get results. And as a side benefit, once your game gets tight your status within your school will probably go up naturally as a result.
