Alot of people are very hung up about their fails..

but all that matters is that you gain experience. it's not the end of the world.

so i figured we could laugh at ourselves by posting our fails, whether it's at approach, midgame, text game, etc..

i"ll go first..

i like to mix it up between direct and indirect approaches.. but lately i've been trying this indirect one: asking girls how many "i"'s are in Hawaii.. i've been surprised at how many ppl say 3.

n e way, recently i was at the mall and i just decided to try it. i spotted this hot mixed girl (hispanic, white, black). she was working at a Maternity store. i held my phone like i was reading a text as i was walking close to her and then i looked away from my phone and approached.

"hey i have a quick question for you, my friends trying to quiz me. SHE wants to know how many I's are there in hawaii."

she says 3.. and i ask her if she's sure about that.. then she changes her answer to 2. so i pretend like im texting my friend back and i say, "alright im telling her 2, but if im wrong..." she laughs and reassures me that it's 2.

i've succesfully opened here, now comes the small talk. i joked around with her about the store she works in, i told her i might want to buy an outfit there. i commented on her tatoos that she had. she told me a little about herself. the convo was cool.

i decided to end it on the high note, so i told her that i had to continue shopping, but that she seemed cool and that we should exchange emails [i was gonna also get her number with the attitude of (im not a phone person but while you're giving me your email.)

she responded with "i have a boyfriend".. in which i responded with "That's cool, we can get him to cook us dinner when we hang out.".. she got all serious and said "nah, i dont think so"

i thought it was a test "i have a bf".. i thought she'd laugh at least, but i think she was actually serious.. n e way, i did not get what i set out to get so SOME would call that a fail..

i'd like to hear other's "failed" attempts..

Last weekend I was out at a bar hitting on chicks, and all of a sudden the three most gorgeous girls of the night walked in. They were all three wearing black miniskirts.

I got up from my table, walked straight up to them, and said "You guys look rediculous."
"What?"
"You guys look ridiculous - in a good way."

Immediately they started girl coding and would not make eye contact with me. I remember trying to transition, but it was the most shut out I've ever been. I ended with a "Nice meeting you guys" and walking away. It was pretty funny. You all should've been there to see it.

lol i can imagine..

i bet it fed their ego when they shut you out..

here this was IMO my favorite rejection that i have received and it happen last week

I open a girl directly with "I dont want to be weird or anything but i just saw you from across the street and i had to say i think you are absolutely adorable and i had to come say hi. whats your name?"

heres what she said "actually i just dated this pick up artist guy and i cant handle it right now" and then she walked right by me and kept on her path

I didnt re-open cuz it seemed like a huge uphill battle with this girl since she hates PUA's. but to me it was a compliment bc she considered me to be a PUA So i must be on the right path if im getting responses like that. BTW i am a cold approach daygamer

Realize the POWER of BELIEF

Hehehe, nice thread.

I have multiple as well, but lets start with this one:

About a month ago, i went to my favorite club. I am a bit known among my friends for being a ladies man, and it was a men's night out (my gf couldnt come with us). So i had green lights to just amp it up a bit.

We were sitting at a table when two stunning girls enter. Miniskirts, nice top, etc. I already noticed them looking in our way multiple times, so i figured: hell yeah, BINGO!! One of my friends had seen it as well, and i tell him in a james bond way: yup, i am definitely going to talk to those two!

the evening continues, when all of a sudden we find ourselves next to them on the dance floor. One of them was prancing around me, so i walk up to her.

me: hi, so i decided to come talk with you. how are you?
she: hmmmm
me: (thinking: that was a straight question, open your goddamn mouth and respond!)
me: Well, i sure like to....

she walks away in the middle of my sentence.

I stood there and i was like: holy fucking macaroni! I felt like the laughing stock of the entire club.

i was pissed at that moment, as it was just plain rude. But what else to do then laugh it off? hehehe also, i had never seen my friends laugh that hard. Their very own double O Zero.

I really like the thread idea. Cool idea, kastle!

I have so many funny stories of PU failure... One's been stuck on my mind, though, that happened pretty recently.

I was at NORMS (a 24 hour restaurant or those not in California), and there was a new waitress there (I frequent this place very often). I was hanging with my best friend who had just come back into the area, and I was explaining how to handle some of his girlfriend problems through using PUA techniques. So this girl approaches, and my friend and I look at each other, both silently deciding that she's pretty cute.

I start running my own version of the restaurant pick up thing that's mentioned in the Game. But, being extremely cocky funny, I make my version hilarious.... And she doesn't get it!

Fresh Prince: Stop looking at me like that. Do you think I'm just some sort of piece of meat, or eye candy?
Waitress Slimmy: Candy? Too early for dessert. But you say you want meat? What kind?

A lot of this could just be that she was nervous and new, but it doesn't matter. My friend is bursting out laughing, but the waitress has a blank expression on her face. "Just water?" she asks. Which makes my friend laugh more. She has a thick accent, so we decide she must not speak much English, which happens often in Orange County.

She's working a table nearby, but my friend says "Guess that's proof not every nice face has a good sense of humor." Later, when she brings our order, she blushes and says that she apologizes for not laughing at whatever joke I had told, but she's new to America, and is still trying to learn American humor, which makes my friend and I start laughing even harder.

Ahah... This is fun...
This goes Kastle... The "I have a boyfriend" reminded me of this episode.
I was at a club with some friends and there is a 4 set at a table. 3 of them go to them dance floor (including my HB9 target, and a 8 stays at the table looking at them dancing. I approach her, I stand right next to her looking at her friends and I go:
Me- so, who do you think is gonna win the dancing contest?!
She - (with serious face) idk
Me- well, you want me to help you judging or you wanna come with me to win that battle and we split the prize?
She- no thanks, I have a boyfriend.
Me- oh... Is he gonna bring your dancing shoes?!

She looks at me with a straight face... Her friend comes up to us looks at me all agressive and goes:

She- can I help you?
Me- sure, can you lend your dancing shoes to your friend so she can dance?
She- she has a bf!
Me- oh, my bad, I didnt know them dance floor was for single ppl only. Im not comming back to this club.
She- you shouldn't...
Me- I ment, not on lesbian nights.
She- im lesbian, so what?!
Me- respect... At least we have something in common!
She - you think youre funny uh...
Me- I stop thinking about it since I convinced myself Im funny... BuT I do think you guys have no sense of humor... Im gonna do myself a favor and get drunk to make sure I dont remember this night

I went back to my friends... 15m later they walk out... They pass by me in the patio, I say cheers to great sense of humor ... And one of them shout out "cheers to ruining our night!"

I kind of felt bad but me and my friends were cracking up.

I love this thread, it made me laugh out loud to think about some of my all time fumbles.

I almost never use canned openers as I just find them retarded generally. Even if they work I can't use them because I feel like a total clown delivering them and it kills any type of cool vibe I might have.

So here was me crashing and burning trying to be smooth. I was at a VIP club in Chicago for my neices birthday. She seriously looks like a porn star so I had a good boost just being surrounded by her and her friends. Even though I'm from Chicago I've been living in Upstate New York for years and there is definately different vibe there that threw me off just a little. After kind of just chilling and flirting with random sets all night things were winding down and I was feeling brave (blame the alcohol). So as we were collecting at the front waiting for the limo to come around my brother was passed the fuck out with some chick who friendzoned him and let him snuggle up (his game is kinda hurtin) and I was getting bored. I see a HB10 asian chick sitting by herslef on a bench glued to her phone and I think "BAM, thats my target for the night".

The game plan materializes, I think "no sweat, get her dancing and bring her in the limo... then game over." WELL..... I walk up.... (nearly drunk mind you)

me: "You look bored as hell, wanna dance?"
her: ".... what?"
me: "C'mon, quite holding that bench to the floor and dance with me."
her: "uh, no..."
goes back to phone
me: "ok, maybe if I txt you instead?" (with a really snotty attitude)
her *chuckle*
me: "seriously i'm falling asleep already"
her: *snotty look* "fuck off"
me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaaaa.... (oh shit, she wasn't kidding)
my brother: "hey fucktard, the limo's here"
me: (to brother) "he lives! I figured we'd be taking you out in a stretcher with that tumor on your side"
me: (to her) "It WASN'T nice to meet you"
her: *middle finger*
me: LMAO
OUT.


Did I save face? I doubt it, but I also didn't give a fuck. That girl had a serious stick up her ass, not just a fake one.

Let's just say the limo ride was humbling when my niece asked "who was that chick you were talking to" and my brother answered for me "some skank that shot his ass down".... *sigh* (thank's bro). Not only drained any spark I had left, but gave all her hot friends a giggle at my expense. Even her one friend HB8 who was grinding on me earlier suddenly froze me out. I tried to joke my way out of it... but it just wasn't my day.

les FAIL.

-Psych3r-

Im not a big fan of canned material like routines and openers, but reality is, i have the tendency to after going out, i analyse everything that happened just like if i was watching a security tape. Then i take note of the stuff that got me a good response and i keep it in mind to try it again. If i get a similar positive response, it kind of becomes routine. This was one:
-walking in NYC going to a gallery in Chelsea, there is this girl that i notice we have been walking in the same direction, almost next to eachother, for 2 blocks... i get right next to her and i go:

Me: Do you mind if i stalk you?
She: (dirty look) ... NO ... (steps to the side)
Me: so much for being a gentleman... next time i wont ask
She: (laughs) ...
-She makes a right turn at the end of the block, and i make the turn too, and i keep walking close to her, just a little behind so she could know i was there. all of a sudden she stops and goes:

She: are you gonna stop?!
Me: (i stop right next to her) ... ok ... (and i just stay there looking at her and she is looking at me)
She: im serious... im gonna call the cops...
Me: Lady, what are you talking about?! ... i was walking and you told me to stop! I stoped just as you said, what do you want me to do now? keep walking? make up your mind!
She: *laughs ... i cant believe this *laughs and crosses the street to the other side, but we kept walking on the same direction for a couple blocks until i turned

Funny part is, we stoped at a light as we are walking on opposite sides of the same street... we looked at eachother and she smiled ... i smiled back.
when i turned, i looked back and she was looking at me... she smiled, kept eye contact for a couple seconds, turns hear foward and keeps walking with a smile.
I should have walked back and try to number close or somethin, but it would look to obvious if i went back so i didnt... and i still regret not done it!

I decided to use this again at a bar while i was smoking a cigarette in the patio. She said, no... i used the same response... she laughed ... and i said:
Me- you know whats the technical name for a professional stalker? ... its detective!"
She- *looks at me ... laughs* You dont look like a detective
Me- I try not to... i dont want ppl to recognize me
She- Are you looking for anyone in specific?
Me- Yes... *i get closer, lower my voice* ... a 5 foot 4, tanned asian looking girl with long straight dark hair, glasses ... oh, and she smokes! ... your cooperation will be rewarded!
She- *laughs ... uhmm... last time i went to the bathroom i saw her on the other side of the mirror mimicking me!

Response was positive, we chilled there with her group of friends for an extra hr or so and then i left. She told me to come onf the following day around the same time. I said i should be there cause i usually stop there b4 heading somewhere else. I did not # close that night (no need for it since she would be there on the following night). We met up and went out to a club.
Now that im talking about it... got to use this again to see if i get another positive response!

Im not a player... im a winner!

this one time, early in my journey.. i decided to hit up a club by myself to practice things..

so i went to the bar and got a budlight, not really to drink it but to not seem like a weird guy in the club not drinking (i know dumb mentality)..

the dancefloor was packed! there were a lot of hot girls out there, but there was this one girl who stood out the most. (later i found out she was a stripper who was on her day off when i saw her).

n e way, she stood out sooo much, she had a perfect body, great skin complexion, and she was dancing super sexy all by herself.. i thought to myself, "if im gonna approach tonight, im going all out.. and im gonna start with that girl right there!

so i stepped on the dancefloor, dipped and dodged alot of ppl dancing, just to get to her. when i reached her, she had an open space around her because she required that much room for all the dance moves she was doing.. i went up to her and said "hey, did you notice that...".. before i could finish my sentence she put her hand on my face and dismissed me.

she dismissed me!! but the way that she did it threw me off because at the time i didnt know how to handle it.. she put her hand literally on my face and mushed me saying "no".. i just stood there like "wtf?? did she just put her hands on me?"..

i didnt even get mad, i just couldnt believe she did that.. i looked around cuz i was sure SOMEONE saw it.. but no one was paying attention. so i laughed it off and walked away..

but i learned somehtin big.. i learned that no one gives a fuck about you.. they are not paying attention if your approaching

At a club a girl was in a black dress but when I looked at her feet, she was wearing white chuck tailors. I went up to her, staring at her and she was like: "What!?"

I pointed at her feet and she said: "Ohhh... Yeah."
Then looks away and whispers something to her friend.

Apparently she was so in the zone she didn't give a damn how she looked..

I'm starting to think that my worst approach happened kind of recently. It's like I short-circuited on this one and fucked it up. I believe I could have gone on a date w/this one had I asked her out directly.

Long story short, this cashier at a store had been flirting with me every time I went in over several weeks, but there was always a line of people behind me so I made an excuse for myself saying 'it's not the right time to pull the trigger'. It got to the point where we introduced each other, and she told me she was getting off work at this time. Right as I was gonna ask her out, some old dude walks in and asks her where something is in the store. I walked out. Then I pulled the weakest thing ever and went back in 30 mins later and told her I'd like to hang out with her and gave her my number (????). It's funny how little sense this makes today.

Lessons learned:
-If you're gonna approach, do it all the way, don't try to find weak loopholes, like I did here
-You really really have to zone out everyone else if you're doing an approach
-Don't let a girl's shyness get you nervous

^^ upping for those funny/ embarrassing fails
