Great info buddy.

-If a girl is a total bitch or just weird from the opening, something is wrong with her. This is not your fault.
That's the only thing I'd disagree with. I like Neil Strauss' approach to it in the Annihilation method. He says anything that goes wrong, is ALL YOUR FAULT. This is awesome because you're not passing the buck, and you can't control or change someone else directly - you can only change yourself, so this mentality gives you ultimate power. If you say that any form of failed set is 'not your fault', you are subconsciously giving your power away.
Having said that, yes, many times girls in daygame randomly blow me out before I even start a proper opener. You cannot control for girls on a bad day, or if something bad just happened to them so they're in a bad mood etc. But it IS your job to roll with this, adapt, and use it to your advantage. This reminds me of a Starbucks set a few months ago where a HB7 was working on her laptop. I approached with a dating for dummies book and did a funny opener, opening by acting really retarded and nervous and saying that her eyes looked beautiful, slowly (this wasn't actually in the book but I found it funny). She replied by complimenting me back (much to my surprise), but the rest of the set she was being a total 'bitch'. I think this was partially due to the fact that I sat too early and then my wing came back from his set and joined with too much energy. Anyway, the point is, we kept reframing her bitchiness as a funny aspect of her personality. Example:
HB7: 'So...are you guys going to leave me a lone now...'
Wing: 'Haha, you see, it's that shield of yours coming back again. Are you always like this?'
It's almost as if she's fired momentum at you, and instead of being on the recieving end of that energy, you reverse it so that you are on the same side as her. Weird shit, and it works.
My refined technique for daygame is, in the words of comparethemeerkat.com, SIMPLES!:
1. Approach a HB who is not on a mission
2. Spend AGES in set
3. Set up day 2 (Number close as a means to this end, not an end in itself).
There's no gold medallion waiting at the end of an under-5-min number close for you. I never really followed Mystery's 7 hour rule etc, but hell his 25 min rule for these sets are definately a trick.
