or is having fun and talking to people the main objective?

It depends on your goals with PUA, where you are at in learning this stuff, as to what you consider is success. If you are after a relationship then maybe a kiss close, a number, and a day 2 setup in the same night is success. IF you are just getting started then maybe working for a kiss or a number is good. If all you are after is the same night lay then maybe that's your goal.

I guess what I'm getting at is don't let the community dictate to you what's successful. Base it off your standards for yourself and goals. Do push yourself to go beyond what you thought you were capable of, but that doesn't mean you have to get laid.

My #1 Goal when I go out it to have fun! First of all, when you're having fun it gets easier meeting people and #2 I deserve to have a good time as I'm sure you do. If you are just starting then having fun and talking to people are good ways to get more comfortable in set.

for me having fun is my objective in life period

Picking up and sex should be fun, not a chore or ego building task. If you're a fun guy who always has a great time at parties you'll naturally get laid heaps.

have fun, give out a good vibe, make friends which will expand your social network. more friends, more parties. if you screw someone good job lol. just remember you dont need to get fucked. it either happens or it doesnt

Just go and do exactly what you feel like doing, if you feel like dancing, dance. Just do whatever you desire and have as much fun as possible. Make the party around you, and everyone will naturally be attracted to you, make friends with everybody there, talk to everyone. This way you'll be one of the most reckoning people there.

Approach the girls you think are hot, talk to them. You are never a failure if you do this, you will always be stronger and learn something after each interaction. Definitely not about just getting laid. Have fun!

Yes you are a complete failure if you don't get laid.

Party to have fun. I partied a lot in college, I almost never got laid unless I already had a girlfriend at the time. I also didn't have much game in college, but that's another story.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself. If you stop over-thinking things, and start trying to have fun, joke around, flirt etc, then you'll be the life of the party, and possibly get laid. But don't TRY to be the life of the party either.

I have two friends who are also colleagues. One has only been djing for a few months, the other for a few years. I got a chance to hear the one with little experience work a crowd the other night, and I could tell he was trying WAY too hard. He was lucky it was a bar full of drunk girls who were just looking for an excuse to grind on somebody. Contrast that to my other friend who really doesn't give a shit. The same bar would have been putty in his hands.

The same works for partying. Don't give a shit, just have fun. The night could lead to just about anything... I mean anything... That's what's so fun about partying.

not at all! have fun, spend your time at the party talking to who you enjoy the most, and people will see that you dont need alcohol or hot girls to have fun!

Its failure you asking that question. You dont have to fit in anyone box.

Make your own box.

Mine is too have fun when i go out, and meet interesting people, I never go out thinking , is this the night ... no if it happens it happens.
