Over the last week a bunch of college topics have popped up on some of the forums here, and I've provided my input into all of them. I will admit that seeing "Confessions of an AFC" inspired me a bit as well, but I thought that I would offer up the next few weeks of my own experiences as I use pickup theory that I learned here to help my game.

Bit of info to create a context
1. Last year I defined AFC, I don't even wanna go into details, you can basically assume I made every AFC move at least once.
2. I'm 22, entering an MBA program at my school
3. I joined a campus fraternity during my sophomore year, and I will most likely reference my brothers frequently (without mentioning the fraternity's identity)
4. I am way better at theory than practice. I began looking into PUA skills about a year ago but found it far more difficult to use than I originally believed. The summer did not provide me with many chances to apply, but I am now committed to getting over the anxiety and going for it.

This weekend I will be returning to my campus, and once or twice a week I will describe fieldwork that stands out, negative or positive, to help others as well as to receive help. I appreciate constructive criticism.

Beyond that basic description, I don't plan on having any particular pattern. I'll open freshmen on campus at 2 in the afternoon and women at bars after midnight. The goal is to be competent by the end of that month, and I will also report anything I did to help boost my confidence before going out. Hopefully my experiences will be good, but more importantly I would love if they even speed up the learning process for other rookies by a little bit.

Good luck, and happy hunting everyone. You'll hear from me next week.

which city you in?!?!

I will be in Pittsburgh, I should have mentioned that so that cultural differences can be considered for readers who are in other countries and states who may not be able to use the exact same conversations.

I wouldn't recommend sarging at campus as a beginner. Failing in campus is not the same as failing in a random nightclub.

Think about it.

It's a one year program I entered due to previous classes, so I'm not terribly worried about wrecking a social circle. I got plenty of friends here already, so I view new students as opportunities and little more. I'm not too concerned about earning a reputation among freshmen that won't affect my future

If I hadn't completed my undergrad and solidified my social circle at this school already, I'd agree.

ill be following this

organize some themed parties, make people dress up whethere be it "formal and sassy" or "80's" and send out a facebook invite.

Good thread...I'm also going back to school next Thursday. Our university has 26,000 students in Arlington Texas.... Its gonna be fun...

#1: Negging actually worked for me:

Friday night I was originally planning to just drink a bit with friends after helping them move into their new apartment. But one of my old friends brought three girls with him who were all solid 8s so it became my job to mediate. See, he never mentioned bringing them to the GIRLS who live in this apartment, so it was mildly awkward.

From reading college-advice threads here, I figured that it wouldn't be smart to try to use any canned material to open, so I just started talking to them and introduced myself. Now its actually good for me that the girls were in an unfamiliar environment because they were so surprised by my just talking to them calm and relaxed that they were immediately showing interest. There were a dozen people, but I was the only single guy. Gotta love supply and demand.

This night actually didn't require much effort on my part. Basically, this group of girls was made up of a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde. The brunette immediately showed interest, slid away from her friends to sit next to me, and plainly asked if I was single. The blonde was more attractive to me, though, so I decided to play around. Every so often I would show the brunette more attention, which I could do without looking too rude because she was actually conversing with me much more. But now and then when the blonde tried to interject, I just playfully asked her to not interrupt us. The first time she acted insulted, but had a grin that suggested I could get away with more. After doing this maybe 3 times, she copied her friend's play and moved over to sit closer to me. Now I won't claim to be particularly good at reading women, but by the time she moved over there was practically a neon sign over her head saying "I'm jealous! Talk to me she's not the only one here!"

Now I figure it would be smart to go to my place (I live in the same building as my friends whose apartment we originally were hanging at), so I actually step away from all three of them to see if they will follow. While I'm talking to my friend who brought the girls in another room, I see from my peripheral vision that the brunette is walking over. I mention to my friend that I had just brought a bar to my apartment and that I wanted to show it off a bit, knowing damn well that one of these HBs is standing right behind me. This solves everybody's problem, since I have some liquor to drink, a reason to move other than just appearing to want to hook up with one of these women, and they are a bit more comfortable going to another place.

At the end of the night, I surprised the blonde a bit by asking for her number instead of her brunette friend's. I'm not good enough to talk her into staying, but playing on her jealousy worked out perfectly, and we have plans to meet up in a few days.

I wish I could have more detail about what I did, but this was spur of the moment and I didn't even think I was going to be meeting up with any women. But I did see some success, which is hopefully a sign of things to come.

Part 2: Freeze outs actually work, sort of

Last night I was visiting friends in another dorm on campus, and they had invited a few girls over. Now honestly I only wanna focus on the end, because all I did was invite the girls to a party we were throwing the next night and wanted to have as many women there as possible. I added that she should come down later that night tho, and by 11:30 she was there (like 2 hours after I left).

The main thing I wanna throw out this post is that while the girl was totally cool with making out, she stopped me every time I tried to take off her dress or move my hands up underneath it. Granted, she didn't show the same restraint towards me which was perfectly fine, but maybe 3 times throughout the night she stopped me from going further than just making out. Each time I stopped, and when she would go in for another kiss I would stop her and say something along the lines of "you said no, and if we start up again I'll get carried away again, and I don't want to do that to you."

*QUESTION* was my saying that when I stopped too much? would it have been better to go about it in a different way freezing her out?

Well it got a textbook reaction each time, regardless. After the first freeze out she said she wasn't that kind of girl (classic anti slut defense, huh?), after the second she said she didn't do that on the first night, and after the third she said that next time we hang out she will fuck me so hard I won't be able to walk straight. She did end up staying the night, and I'm not 100% sure she's gonna follow through on that little promise.

So I'm looking for criticism/comments on how I conducted the freeze out, but also happily letting you other rookies know that the move does get the kind of reaction experts talk about.

Nice Job Z-wrex btw welcome to the burgh its a great town. Are you going to pitt or duquense or carnegie mellon. I graduated and living in the real world lol (shitty)

Nice job on the freeze out. what i would recommend...im no master. Is that you completely remove yourself from that situation ie if your on your bed get up get some water or sit at your desk and bring up some funny youtube videos ( im on a boat is a winner in my book) or check facebook or something and just be chill she wonders whats up but your def on the right track
