I would like to see what everyone’s thoughts and feelings are in handling this classic scenario. When I say “generic” I mean two girls in an area that’s not too wild, talking to each other like normal people in a nightlife or social venue. Should you approach just your target? Adress the two as a whole?

I don’t care so much about isolation, handling logistics or pulling-possibilities, since these can be covered by a Day2. I’m more interested to see how one hooks the target in a two set. But if anyone has thoughts on how these play in a two set than don’t hesitate in sharing your views.

My usual approach is “Hey, what’s up. You guys look pretty cool. How are you doing tonight?” Then i ask how they know each other and what brings them out.

I find that transitioning to just talking to the target is very difficult since it leaves the other girl out. I feel that with two sets it’s as if you have to treat them like one whole girl. With dance floor two-sets I find that just approaching the target is very feasible and transitioning to just you and her interacting via conversation or dance happens more smoothly, though there’s still a chance of the other girl getting left out.

A lot could be said about this to cover all possible cases. However, in general:

Hook both at first with roughly the same level of attention to both and gradually transition your attention to the one you find most interesting.

If you have noticeably better chemistry with one of them, the other will often leave you two alone after some time, if she is friendly and believe you are a safe guy.

I approach whichever one looks more receptive (Girl 1). So that the other girl (Girl 2) sees that I'm a normal cool guy (slight preselection). I then ask Girl 1, what is the occasion or how they know each other. Then I talk/joke with Girl 2 about the information Girl 1 just revealed to me, to further solidify the "he's a normal guy" frame. If Girl 2 is my target, then I keep talking to her. If Girl 1 is my target, then I go back to Girl 1. Because now I've disarmed both girls (Girl 1 thinks I'm cool because Girl 2 likes me, and vice versa).

I usually try to open both at the same time or maybe one but involve the second quickly after.

One thing I’ve noticed about most girls is that they don’t like it when you hit on them only based on looks.
Yes, of course you don’t know her and came to talk to her because of her looks but she wants to FEEL that she won you over with her personality or something she said... that you appreciate her... you need to keep that illusion.
Hitting on one of the girls from the outset and blatantly ignore the other breaks that illusion so it’s a no-no.

I don’t do night game so I wouldn’t know but I think that in a high stimulation setting you could break the rule and ignore the second girl IF AND ONLY IF the second girl has something else to do ( guys to hit on her, dancing with a group...) so she doesn’t feel left out.
