Just keep practcing on the HB6's/HB7's and work your way up, it will go soon

Okay, I've done this mission twice. My conclusions:

1. Saying "Hello" to girls that make eye contact with you is very easy and natural. No problems here.

2. Saying "Hello" to girls that don't make eye contact is HARD! They have a tendency to ignore you when you say it, and that feels weird. But I understand it's absolutely necessary to be able to say Hello to someone before they make eye contact. And the ignore is scarier in your mind than it really is.

I still have not been able to walk through the entire mall and say Hello to every girl, regardless of whether she makes eye contact, regardless of looks/age. Gotta go back a 3rd time and do it right. EVERY SINGLE GIRL MUST BE APPROACHED!

The last lesson I learned is to be focused. You have to start your day by saying, "I'm going to the mall, and I will say Hi to EVERY girl, and that's the ONLY thing I'm going to do. I will not shop, I will not eat, I will not sit on a bench." If you don't have focus, you will half-ass this mission by making excuses like, "Oh, she's too old for me." or "I should try on that pair of jeans." or "But, she's with her boyfriend/husband." or "How do I chat up this shop girl." Those are all distractions, so watch out!

This is my first post here. I found this website about a week ago.

On Friday I went to the local mall with this mission in mind. I needed to buy new shirts and new belt anyway since I have lost so much weight in the past 6 months.

Overall I think it went very well. It wasn't too difficult at first, all I had to do was say hello right? I spent about 1.5 hours there walking and saying hi to just about everyone who crossed my path. The only exceptions were women on their phones and couples having a conversation as I passed.

I noticed that the hotter the woman, the more difficult it was to say hi. In fact, my AA would seem to reach up and strangle my vocal cords a little when I did it. I forced through it anyway. I realized about half-way in that I needed to project my voice more since I figured the ones who didn't respond probably didn't hear me.

I got a lot of good responses and I made sure to maintain eye contact as I greeted people. When it came to HBs, the responses were less than stellar, the exception being older HBs. They really seemed to appreciate it.

In fact, I tried this a little bit on Saturday also at the grocery store and I got a double look and a smile from this older HB 8.

It was a great experience and I am looking foward to doing it again.

I tried this today and i felt the only way i could approach was too say an opener i mean hello seem so difficult and getting i contact as well but i was wondering If theres anything better than Hi or is it literally a Hi and then walk off?

Yes. It's supposed to be done while you're already walking, anyway. The point is to make initiating interactions with others an impulsive habit.

I did this mission when i first started pua, a few years ago, this has now become a way of life, whenever i go anywhere if i happen to catch the eye of someone i always greet them with a "hello" "good morning" or other such pleasantry it really does up your confidence and i know for a fact that it makes people smile and i would even go as far to say make their day that little brighter, i know when a person i don't know smiles at me and says hi it brightens my day up a bit, their aren't enough people who go out their way just to be pleasant to the people around them.

Great newbie mission

Don't wory man, it took me 3 whole days at the mall, before I did my first approach which wasn't a succes to say the least. In total it's something like 12 hours walking around in the mall before my first approach. I got only halfway through my opener before I just walked off because I sounded like a robot saying my line. But I'm just glad I did it anyway. Gonna go to the mall in a hour so wish me luck ;P
Best of luck to you as well.

Ok so i Did it today i think but im going to try once more tomorrow but i wasnt sure if it has to be everybody because there were these huge group of quite threatening dudes walking and i didnt really want to say Hi

But do you mainly say it to the girls you mke eye contact with (what I did)

Or all Girls even if theyre quite far away do you walk up to them and say hi?

My idea was yo uwalk where ever your going and whoever comes with in a 2m radius you look at smile and greet does that count?

I attempted to do this and I must say that I have failed miserably.

One thing that I have noted is that in retrospect, the main obstacle to me approaching someone else was me all along.

I spent too much time looking at someone and deciding whether to approach or not and this resulted in a somewhat jerky and unnatural opening. In addition, the persons in question would invariably notice me before long and would be understandingly apprehensive when I decided to open my mouth.

I was constantly worried over how I looked - whether I looked fat or nerdy or unfashionable or effeminate. Stupid things that I usually wouldn't spare a single thought for.

In addition, in the few cases where I managed to start a conversation, my brain failed shortly afterwards, leaving me with nothing to say.

So, I would say this has been an uncontested failure.

But from a retrospective point of view, I think there are lessons to be learned from this fiasco.

Firstly, my inner game. Confidence is the key here and it seems I am lacking in the area when push comes to shove. I should not be quaking in my shoes like a teenage girl with acne issues for these sorts of minor interactions. In addition, the 5 second rule applies here - any longer and approaching becomes terribly unnatural.

I have failed this time, yes. But will I try again?

Of course. Kudos to Chief for posting the original. Its been a real eye opener.

Why shouldn't you be quaking in your boots? Lacking in confidence? Thats why you're doing the challenge!! i personally don't think its a great newbie mission although i can see its benefits. Its definitely a habit that should be made apart of your life rather than a 'day out' though.

If speaking to girls didn't make you nervous on some level then that'd be weird and boring. Its where all the fun is!!

OK so I am so glad I found this article, it may have changed my life. I went and did the newbie mission yesterday and here is my summary.

Got dressed up nice, and went to a local mall. Just walked around making eye contact, smiling and say hi to every female. I remember when reading this article the first time it was mentioned that i would try and rationalize why i shouldn't be going and doing this. Low and behold on my way to the mall in my head

"maybe i shouldnt do this, people will think i'm weird, can i get in trouble for this?"

fucking pussy, Its a tough pill to swallow....to admit to being a big puss...
so here's my options now that i have admitted it
1) keep doing what i've always done and maybe a 6 or a 7 will come along and i'll become attached like always because i havent gotten laid in so long
or....
2)DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!

I'm choosing 2

anyways about an hour into the newbie mission after venturing out of my comfort zone time after time after time it became EASIER!

Wow who woulda thot CHIEF was right?

Whether the girl was young, old, hot, ugly, fat, sexy they all had 3 or 4 diff reactions...

Say hi back and smile making eye contact(my favorite response)
Keep walking say nothing
hi back no eye contact and so on.....

Haha listen this is funny I started to see the same females over and over and one lady like 50 or something i musta said it to her like 4 times well the 5th time i turned around as i was walking and she was like 7 ft behind me i make eye contact and say "hi"
this lady looks at me sooo disqusted like she had just walked in on me looking at child porn and says to herself loud enough for me to hear "what is WRONG with you..."

It bugged me at first but then i thought THIS lady is so upset by me literally looking her in the eye, smiling, and saying HI....hahahaha

There were 2 girls together kinda cute actually i also said it to them like 3 times and the third time i do it as i'm walking away one of them goes "are you gonna say hi everytime you walk past us?"

At first it bugged me BC it was said in a bitchy tone...i felt like, embarrased..
but then later i thought, maybe that was just her wanting me to come talk to them, you know like it was a neg or something...and also if she was being a bitch, fuck her......I mean in the sense that those women and people who thought i was weird or were bothered by me saying hi FUCK THOSE PEOPLE for now, in the sense that I wanna get comfortable approaching women especially women i find attractive then i'll work on my post open game....


Pickup is linear right?

I'm going to a diff mall today and i'm gonna do the same damn thing...
Its like damn i'm sick of being a pussy and not talking to a hot chick BECAUSE SHE'S A HOT CHICK? WTF so dumb....

If your on the fence about doing this mission think of how your limiting your adventure on this earth by not talking to a chick because it makes you uncomfortable or AA...so so so dumb ...the only way to fix this is to step out of your comfort zone....

My buddy called me right before i did this mission....and i was tellin him what i was gonna do and he said "man i would totally be down to do that but only if i was with you or like a group of friends...." My response to him was....
"Well, thats because your a pussy, and I've been one too"

I read somewhere in this thread that to get to where you want its gonna take blood, sweat, and tears....

Im still quite selective and find alot of talking to girls easier when my friends are around just need to man up....quit being a little bitch.....and the hey im a Nice guy im great too know attitude

Wow I feel like a new man. Yesterday i ventured out for day two of the newbie mission. Said hi to damn near 200 women young old hot not fat flat they all have the same responses.

Now here's why i'm excited.....Saying HI, making eye contact, smiling....ITS BECOMING HABIT.....

After starting doing this just 3 days ago I now have ZERO problem going out of my way to at least make eye contact, smile, and say hi .......

Sounds Goofy?

NO because now i have become so comfortable doing this that i now attempt to open girls up now instead of just saying hi and keep walking...its great! Like today i was at the grocery store and this 7 was lookin at something in the isle and i did the newbie thing "HI, smile, eye contact" but this time as i was walking away i turned back around and asked for a female opinion on something....(i have a blind date tonight, should i pick up the tab? and blah blah blah...

Point is that i'm eventually going to learn how to transition the simple open into conversation and phone numbers and many many orgasms....

Also too reading posts by CHIEF i've started looking at things completely different .
Like women do have it pretty tough...like they have to live up to these standards and pussy AFC guys they have to deal with many times a day...Having periods...pregnancy....And as a guy all i have to do is learn how to talk to these beautiful creatures correctly and i can have as many or as few in my life as i want...

just thinking out loud guys

you want the magic pill ? The NEWBIE MISSION IS THE FUCKING MAGIC PILL

Hi, I went to the mall twice so far attempting this mission.

First of all I went on Monday and Wednesday and the mall was pretty dead so the absolute numbers of avg~good looking girls was very low.
As I enter the mall I already feel myself getting nervous but I tried smile>hi to the first girl I have EC with, she just cuts EC and walks by.

i'm very self-concious about this (something I hope to get over with practice) so this put me into pussy state and I had to hide in the restroom toilet for 30 minutes battling negative thoughts in my head. It was an awful feeling.
At this state I wasn't going to try another smile>hi so I changed my plan to
Ask random girls where is xx(store name)?
This is MUCH easier mentally for me because a)asking that isn't strange at all and b) It makes me approach them instead of hoping a 2m radius encounter.

The best thing about this method was it made me feel a lot better and at ease after about 4-5 times because I say smile>ty and they respond with a smile>yw (usually). so I actually recovered from my crapy state in the restroom.
I decided to leave the mall and see a girl walking toward me this time I was able to EC > smile>hi.

Now heres the question...
I can do this if I EC them but I'm hesitant(can't do it) if theres no EC with the passing girl. Most of them wont notice me and I just let them by.
Should I be doing this when they're close enough even without EC? It just feels so akward to me to do that and just walk pass them leaving them thinking 'wtf was that'
Should I just do it to overcome those sort of self-concious feelings?

Edit: ok sorry I just read some old posts and indeed I had to do it with girls that aren't ECing. I'll definately try this next time. Newbie mission day 3 here i go...

Yeah i know hwat you mean bro but i think hte point of the newbie mission is it feels abit weird we are socially hardwired to not be able to do it which is why its amazing for your confidence... but if you say it with confidence dw about it if she ignores you theres a billion women on this earth and they all want you...they just dont know it yet But yeah keep trying NEWBI MISSION until you complete it

I havent finished it yet but i will tomorrow wish me luck
READ MYSTERY METHOD most effective book ive read as of yet

I was using it at my school and One girl who was about an a7 on the face but a 10 on the ass was fighting for my attention while so was two other girls one of which had a BF .... so once i get the Newbie mission cracked my confidence will eat this shit up
