The comments are siding with the dude saying 'girls these days' and 'don't date liberals' etc. I think his initial approach was really bad and the way he handled himself was quite poor throughout the whole interaction.

But what do you guys think? Were the girls being rude or does he just have really bad game? Personally I think it's the latter.

The girls are being pretty antagonistic but I also feel like his opener was so bad it killed any possibility of a good interaction.

He is not only super direct stating his bland interest which can obviously cause a super fast rejection.

He is not only super neo direct by literally asking for her number on the opening making her have to choose right away.

He is also super neo pick up line direct by trying to get her number using some kind of clever ( he thinks ) misdirection.

Maybe if the girl and her two friends thought that he was some kind of ultra attractive guy they could never normally get, they would find it cute.

Not sure what is even the point of posting it and ranting about the girls though. Should they just stay there and talk to you for a while no matter how you approach and praise you for lightening up their day?

They were pretty friendly in fact in the beginning and wanted to help him, but then they had the huge facepalm with what he said.

And on to of that he stayed there to have a logical discussion on politics for some reason, getting totally in their frame and signalling he really isn’t the smooth playboy he was pretending to be.

If you see after his opening they ask him right away few questions, if he is with the old guy from earlier, if he is a trump supporter and if he is american. One from each girl, they basically all felt the desire to test immediately after the way he opened.

His response was a confused no showing he can’t really handle them, and that’s when they figured this guy is not it, so let’s toy with him a bit, he wanted to play first anyway.

And he stayed there to be toyed, trying to defend himself and arguing with them. When they stopped having fun, they told him to leave.

I don’t know if he could have turned it around from that first opening, but he could for sure have been more playful, teased a bit, having a more emotional conversation, or at very least he could have decided to not stay there and entertain them.

He is not some awkward kid who tries to give a compliment to a girl but is stuttering from the anxiety. Normally most people would treat the kid well, because even though he is low value, he is also trying to be genuine and is mostly harmless.

But this is a guy who poses as very confident in himself and seductive, so he should be at least ready to roll and expect that he will be tested. This could even be used as a strategy, be more outlandish and arrogant and provoke tests to pass them, but he just expects to be all that in an uncalibrated way and girls to buy into it without question.

These days people will do anything to garner views on social media and create viral reels.

Steer clear of IG, that's the best thing to do.

At this point, even the fake infields on YouTube circulating a decade ago are more real than what you see on IG.

If you wanna see what a cool, socially calibrated guy who strikes up conversations with cute girls looks like, check out Juan from ThatWasEpic on YouTube.

However, even he will say some neo direct stuff to get reactions out of the girls and make viral videos. They react well to him (and you only see those who react well cuz that's what he chooses to post) because he's a got a lof of good physical traits (good looking, tall, fit) and great fundamentals (sexy, confident voice, bodylanguage)

At best you can learn what a cool vibe and body language is like. You can also learn how not to make things awkward and operate as a normal person with decent social skills. And you can also see that if you're a cool, normal guy, you can easily walk around campuses and socialize.

But you won't learn what good game looks like.,

Just like you can watch movies with sexy actors and study their vibes, you won't learn what good game is like in most movies. There are a few exceptions of course.

Do yourself a favour and stay away from watching wanna be PUAs on IG and even YouTube.

Oh I don't ever watch the influencer pua's and what not. It's so obviously all crap. Just saw this video by chance and happened to be a great example of a bad approch and a bad opener and how not to handle an interaction. Also thought it was interesting a lot of the people commenting thought somehow the girls were in the wrong.

His mistake was over reacting to the girls.

I have had a couple of similar interactions in my early daygame career when chicks are already thinking you are quite funny/weird for approaching and thus start this silly giggly behaviour.

I used to call it out and say something like "What's so funny, you don't even know what I am going to say yet!). But now I would just ignore it and carry on with what I am there for (dropping the compliment and escalating towards a phone number close).

In this case, it was one of those cringey rizz lines but he lost the interaction well before he dropped that.

You can think you are playing along and going with the joke/flow but that is a mistake as they will loss respect for you.

He fell into their frame pretty hard. And trying to claim to be Latin with an American accent was a bit of a fail, so they didn't believe him there.

Edit: Also, Aussie girls act almost identically to British girls, it appears. Very stuck up and silly.

this is not how you approach a group of women if you have an interest in genuinely building rapport with them. period.

He should've teased them and made fun of them lightheartedly, instead of getting all weird after they didn't hook with his canned opener. Aussie girls are famed for ball busting so you gotta hand it back to them.

Pretty lame tbh.
