This worked for the most part until one of the girls mum comes out the aisle behind her screaming at me to stop hitting on her daughter :L she was 16 same age as me so I'm not a peado :L

Did this the last couple days. Reasonably Easy. However, I did get a little flushed before saying hello to a few 8-9's but I don't think anyone noticed cause it was 100 degrees.

What's next?

Just went to the mall and did this mission.
I said hi to everyone. Old men, moms, store clerks, kids on bikes
I felt much better afterwards and learned that I need to speak louder because I have a soft voice

I had a few people that came from behind me. I felt to awkward to turn around and say hi.

Thanks!
but now where do I go from here.
I'm still getting anxiety talking to HBs that are my age
I will repeat this mission over and over till my fear is gone

Hey brothers me and my buddy are goin sarging tomorrow i was wondering if you guys could send me some tips and like some good lines to introduce yourself

Thanks Guys

I did the newbie mission last week. The result was that my anxiety level dropped from 8 to 3! Some of the HBs had shocked expressions on their faces! I penetrated their level 0 deffense. I stepped into their universe, they new I souldnt be there, because if I am there, I could do various things in the next phase. I had a kick out of their facial expresions! This time they were afraid not me! Well only 2 girls answered back saying Hi....

New member, in the last 7 days from studying PUA/ and reading this site, my AA went from like a 9 to like a 1, meaning I am going to have it always. lol.

I talk to cute cashier girls now, randomly ask for a brew(I know they don't it so I can talk to her) I have yet to approach a woman strangly in a store shopping/street walking, but I have at a hospital and talked to people in line.

I just feel weird talking to a strange woman in the store by herself, I feel like she is going to call the cops. because women in America are crazy....

This week I approach a bunch of women at the store/lines


My whole outlook used to be serouis/dull/boring guy/intelligent but boring.

This week I knocked that off adn no longer "nice guy". I kino family and I couldn't believe how well th is worked.

I changed, bought new clothes, very funny now. It's working I tell ya!

When I stooped to a mental level of a child things, women love childish things, games(thumb wars) and thats good because it works!

I always been an serious person, and try to have intelligent conversations with people, thats never worked with me on women, it has on men. Now I have been using childish things its going good. Women like simple things.

It is not AA that scares me or affects me anymore, its leading a conversation forward and keeping her interested. AA is nothing.

No, they just want you to think that! I have been doing a lot of this. Not randomly going up to them but if I'm in line or next to someone in a store then I say something that has to do with what I'm feeling/what it looks like they are feeling/my surroundings and it works like a charm.

I recall talking to this HB10 the other night in line at a convenient store. I mean just about everything about her was perfect and I really wanted to say something to her but I wasn't exactly sure what to say. It was really late so I said "You look like your pretty tired." And she responded positively and we had a whole conversation! It was ridiculous because I came home and told my sister and she was like, "You effed up. You never tell a girl she's tired." But I had to disagree because the girl kept the conversation going.

The point I am making is. It doesn't really matter what you say as long as you say it like you mean it and don't apologize.

Hm, Mystery does not like other people telling him what to do...I don't like other people telling me what to do... Maybe I am like Mystery?

First, thanks for the beginner's exercise Chief. This type of thing is exactly what I'm looking for seeing as how I'm new at all this.

After doing this exercise, I learned that the simplest of tips can be the best. I am 6'4 and athletic with black hair and a goatee. I look unapproachable. My resting face, even when happy, is not a smile. Putting on a smile was difficult at first, but you know what....after getting used to it I had a blast. The question of whether it made less intimidating became irrelevant. What it DID do was put me in the MOOD to say hello. Doing this helps positivity and gives you the positive energy necessary to accomplish this introductory task. It's put me in the mindset I NEEDED!

Second, over thinking will kill you here. For me, I needed to blank my mind and treat it simply as saying hello to people despite the consequences I thought MAY happen. What's the worst that can happen here? Someone doesn't say hi back? Big deal. This is a learning process. The key for me was approaching it as 'I have nothing to lose'.

In the end, saying hello to a stranger should become second nature. If you can't learn this, you have no hope. Smile, remember you have nothing to lose, and have FUN with it. Stepping outside your comfort zone is exciting. After only a few hello's I not only got comfortable with it, I felt powerful. How RARE is it to have someone say hello to you these days? By doing this you become a curiosity. You WANT to be a curiosity! You want to be different! You want to stand out! At least I do.

And remember, no matter how good you are at an exercise like this you are not going to be 100% successful. I just sucked it up and took my lumps.

Anyhow, I could go on but as this is my first post I just wanted to share my learning and thank Chief for such a GREAT first exercise. There's a lot to be learned here, but you need to approach it as just that - learning.

I will do this as soon as i come back from travel. But i was thinking about using my dog to help with confidence.

Thanks for this Chief,

The newbie exercise is what I needed to get myself out there and learning.

So this was a VERY interesting experience and I learned so much out of it whilst visiting a massive mall close to my place.

The First lesson is that saying hi to people is not nearly as easy as it sounds and it takes a fair bit of luck and planning, especially considering that I only approached and greeted the hotties and not any other people.

The second lesson is that eye contact is very difficult to hold. I would be walking along, spot the hottie, and then make eye contact and keep it. (I read somewhere that women find this very attractive) I think this intimidated them as they broke it as soon as we entered each others personal spaces (about 2m radius) and this would make it a bit difficult to say Hi, as it felt like they shut me out.

This forced me to try and look a bit friendlier, as most people acted very intimidated when speaking to me for some weird reason. I think I may have perhaps overdressed. (I have a rockstar look I try to emulate) I think perhaps for a newbie exercise it's important to dress comfortable but still a bit interesting to stimulate conversation and invite IOI's.

The third lesson is that saying hi is much easier when you walk past someone as opposed to a) trying to catch up to a moving target (which I didnt do as that would just look creepy) b) Randomly standing next to a chick and saying it whilst she is browsing books in a book store.

So I ended up taking a break at a very busy coffee shop in the mall and had a cup of coffee whilst sitting with my back to the cash register in the smoking section, as this was the only spot that was open. (Which later turned into a calamari starter and a glass of wine). And in comes this stunning HB10 with her (Im presuming her mother) and they grabbed a seat in front of me with a table that had just cleared out.

So she (The hottie, not her mother lol) starts glancing towards me every now and then, and just sending me TONS of IOI's, we eventually started smiling at each other. Unfortunately approaching her and joining her table was out of the question as it would look very awkward in a crowded restaurant, plus I was scared her mom would start screaming at me to stop undressing her daughter with my eyes, haha! So I did the next best thing, I asked the waitress for the bill, a pen and a napkin to write on.

I wrote the following on it:

"So I saw you looking at me and either you are interested in me or you are looking to rob the cash till behind me?

You seem interesting. What have you got going for you more than your looks?

>my cel number

(CONT) ---->

(I figured we were already in A3 as she was giving me so much interest)

I collected my nuts, downed the last of my wine, walked up to them and said hi. She turned around (she didnt look surprised at all, and with a really big smile said hi) After sharing some eye contact that was loaded with sexual tension and a smile, I then gave her the note and walked away.

I felt REALLY awesome for doing that as I suffer from major AA. I'll post this in the field reporst forum if you want to criticize (please do)

Tried this and really helped me to be more open towards other people, really good advice!

i dont know if this really counts.

i had nothing better to do on a saturday night so i took a walk through my neighborhood and figured i would say hi to everyone i crossed. During the walk i met an old man (64) that talked about war and said hi to a few groups of kids. I think it actually may have helped my AA because no one had any negativity towards me saying hi
