I feel like I'm stuck in a limbo or plateau, and I have many many many many many many many questions. So halp me plis.

So, I've run into this situation numerous times:
1. I open girls direct on the street, in malls, or other day game venues. I usually say something like "Hey, you just passed by me, and I had to come tell you that you're gorgeous" or "Hey, I saw you from over there, and I had to come tell you that you have amazing legs" or whatever. Lately, I've been trying to have them look at me first.
2. Almost all of them respond really well--they're happy and excited.
3. We exchange names and have a short conversation (5-10 minutes). I start off by asking some basic questions like: what she's up to, if she plays sports (if I used the leg opener), what she does for a living, etc. Then using the information from their responses to each question, I try to deep dive a little bit: what made her want to study what she's majoring in, how she feels about LA (if she's a tourist), how long she has played the sport, etc. I ask maybe 2-3 deep diving questions on 2-3 topics. I try to relate, throw some sexual innuendos, compliment, and cold read during the conversation. I'm okay at chase framing only if I'm provided with good opportunities.
4. I try to number close and they tell me they're taken.
5. They're still happy and excited, and they tell me that I made their day and/or they're very flattered.

Is this a normal occurrence for you?

Is there a possibility that this is a test? I was very straightforward and dominant in my opening, so is she possibly looking for me to not give a shit about her relationship status--whether she's actually taken or bullshitting--and persist for her number?

Issues I can see:
1. She knows what I am about because of my direct opener, so she might be evaluating me during the conversation, then tells me she is taken as a form of rejection.
2. I might be talking to her for too long, so I might be dulling down her excitement/interest. If I talk to her less, on the other hand, then I feel like she may not feel comfortable enough to meet up with me at a later time.
Do you see any more issues?

Solutions:
Be more attuned to her emotions. Try to raise it using sexual innuendos or whatever, then go for the close when her emotions are high. I think deep diving dulls her emotions down.
What's your process like?
Any other suggestions for me to explore the next time I'm out?

Also, a lot of my interactions with college-aged girls end up being boring and interview-like. An example from last night:

Me: That's cool. So what made you want to become a parole officer?
Her: I think it's interesting
Me: Yeah? How so?
Her: I don't know.

I thought about saying "That's cool, I like women in uniform", but my mouth ignored my brain and didn't say it. That might have gotten the girl above in a more flirty/open mood. Generally though, with this specific set of girls in discussion, I'm not sure what their body language says: they seem stiff/numb/dead with a plain face, and they usually avoid eye contact. I'm guessing it's a mixture of being shy/nervous, inexperience, and perhaps auto-rejection from low attainability? I also see these girls interacting with other guys, and some of them appear to be pretty social.

Questions:
Better topics to discuss?
What do you do when a girl is making the conversation interview-like and isn't really putting in the effort, but isn't excusing herself either? Sometimes I try to see if I can move her, but usually she doesn't budge, so then I leave. Usually I just leave without bothering to put in more effort.

Also, does this say something about my attainability, or is this a matter of objective social experience?
When I walk around my campus or my college town, I get at least 1 attractive girl check me out every 20 minutes on average. When I try to establish eye contact, most of them usually look away to the side, ground, or their phone.
When I walk around my friend's neighborhood that has a lot of young professionals, I have about 15-25% of attractive girls check me out. Their eye contact is stronger, and fewer girls look away when I return contact.
When I walked around Beverly Hills for the first time on Friday noon, I'd say about 40% of the attractive girls gave me eye contact, and most of them were very strong. They were anywhere between mid-20s to 40 years of age.

I'll definitely need more data points, but I'm usually pretty busy with schoolwork. Also, my school has a missed connections kind of a website just for our campus, so I'm sorta afraid that I'd end up on there with something like "blah blah...Korean guy named fsc who approached me and told me I was gorgeous...blah blah", then have 10 other girls reply to it saying that something similar happened to them too. However, I've been held back by that fear for so long that now I feel like saying FUCK IT YOLO and just approach anyway.

Many thanks

As far as having a good interaction to then be given the "I have a boyfriend" jazz, why not just persist for the number, or more preferably insta-date and then fuck her the day of.
Survival of the fittest, as Justin Wayne says.

From being in the nightgame scene for the past 6 weeks I don't take "I have a boyfriend" too seriously. I'll usually just ignore the fact she said it or be like "yeah cool I have a puppy at my house.. so anyway".

Also you could play around with compliance stacking. Just ask for little compliance and build up greater and greater until the compliance your asking for is her mouth around your dick, in which by then she's complied so many times it's just another wrung on the ladder.

What do you do when a girl is making the conversation interview-like and isn't really putting in the effort, but isn't excusing herself either?
I get these girls and I usually just don't even deep dive hardly anymore. Instead I do my best to talk on an emotional level and really just hit emotional points. VERY similar to how Russell Brand talks to women but just not so Russell Brandish because I'm fucking Mr.Rob not Mr.Russell.

He's very playful and does a good job of breaking women out of autopilot which when girls are in interview mode their generally in autopilot from what I've seen.
I think Chase is probably proficient at it but I can't for the life of me deep dive a girl my age at a bar/nightclub that's there for the sole reason of "fun" for more than a minute or two without things dying out. So instead I just play and tease in a sexual way. Give hypothetical scenario's (usually sexual.. I love to tell the story of the greek god Hephastus raping Athena and how Athena took the sperm and threw it off a mountain which landed on Mother Natures vagina and got her pregnant- Then I use this story to role play a bit). And then do a little deep diving here and there. I for the most part save deep diving for low energy venues and dates.

Hi fsc!

When you're new to the game, it's common to assume that most girls are single and looking for a man -this assumption is false. The vast majority of attractive women are NOT single and are not on the hunt for a better mate. This is why cold approaching rejection rate is so high. Another common assumption is that as long as you have more game, looks, money, or power, etc than her boyfriend then you get the girl - this assumption is also false. When a girl is in a relationship, she invests a great deal of time, energy, and her body to a man. Since she is already heavily invested, she doesn't care how much better you (someone she's known for 5 or 10 minutes) are compared to her man.

At the bar or at a party or on vacation, a girl's relationship status is a lot less important. In these environments, if she says she has a boyfriend, you can put your hands on her and find out pretty quick how serious she takes her relationship.

This is common. Most women are NOT sexual available.

For any honest player? Yes!

No, this is not a test. If she wanted to get with you, she wouldn't have mentioned her relationship status. The exception is in environments like bars, parties, or vacations where girls are often open to the idea of cheating.

I wouldn't bother persisting for the number. I've done it plenty of times, but they go nowhere. Shocking! haha

Solutions:

1. Hit on more girls until you find the single ones

2. Keep your eyes peeled for girls checking you out. They are a lot more likely to be single.

3. Frequent venues with a higher percentage of single girls (bars, clubs etc)

Thank you, I think these are what I needed as far as conversation goes. Sometimes my interaction will flow into something like this mixed with deep diving, but that's only if the girl is at least somewhat socially experienced and gives me a response that's longer than 1-3 words. I've been turned off with short responses, but I guess I'll just stick through it and put in some more effort.

Yeeee. I've decided to hit up bars more often.

You learned a lot about seduction and you are trying to utilize everything that you know. You probably worked hard so you look sexy, you give away dominant looks and walks, you do some clever openings, you have plan where to take the girl, you make girls excited, you deep dive, you are trying to match her emotions, you try to make them think sex, you are closing on numbers and so on. Which is all good, but at the same time it might be too much.

Girls are quite sensitive, they can see right through you. They usually don't expect young guy to know and do lots of "right" stuff, and if he shows too much it becomes suspicious right there. They know what you are up to, your seduction effort might be amusing to them but at the same time they don't want to be "victims" of your experiments. You are simply chasing, they know you are out there to "get them"

If you go out fishing all you need is just simple fishing rod. Ok, you can get really good one, but you probably wouldn't use grenade as all the fish would either run away - or just show you belly...


Also agree with ProblemSolving, many girls may not be available. Imagine you are a great salesman, walking on the street, and trying to sell vacuum or other product to any person who walks by. You can be the best salesman but if people already have vacuum they won't simply buy it no matter what you do. Different technique is needed, simply try to find out first who is interested... It saves lots of time and effort...

Sales is really the perfect analogy to Pickup, except I've been hesitant to use it because unless you've been in sales, it's tough for people to really grasp the "numbers game" concept. It doesn't matter if you're the best salesman with the best product around, unless your customer has a need for your product, they aren't buying.

To build upon your vacuum sales analogy, unless a person doesn't own a vacuum or the vacuum that they do own is broken, then they don't care how awesome your product is, because they aren't looking for a new vacuum.

Now imagine this street side vacuum salesman, instead of trying to talk to random people walking by, he positioned his awesome vacuum with its slick stainless steal design and LED lights on the street for all to see. The vast majority of people wouldn't give it a second look, but the people looking for a new vacuum are definitely going to want a better look. These are the people looking for what he's selling. These are the people he should be talking to.

I've had a strange feeling about cold approaching a bunch of random girls on the streets for the past two months or so. It just didn't feel fully "right" anymore, but I didn't know why. This made things click in my head. The purpose of having good fundamentals, creating attraction and capitalizing on them, the importance of preopening and having her check you out first...the concept of chasing and chase framing to amplify her attraction and her chasing position.

Holy shit. Thank you.

Would you say this applies to attractive girls in general or differs e.g. considering their age ( for example more single college girls in their early 20s as opposed to older ladies)?

This is why screening women out is so important. In fact, what you are describing (quoted below) is, in my opinion, is a very GOOD thing:

4. I try to number close and they tell me they're taken.
5. They're still happy and excited, and they tell me that I made their day and/or they're very flattered.

I think mainly two things could be happening here:
- Your fundamentals and body language is not up to par, and she is making an excuse not to give you her number.
-or-
- She is legitimately not available. WHICH IS FINE. IT'S GREAT! Why?

1. You've just screened her out, and can move onto the next one and not waste any more time. In fact, the more efficiently you can do this - creating a fun, sexual vibe, AND finding out her availability quickly, the better you are because you are effectively spending less effort to achieve the same result. LAW OF LEAST EFFORT. Remember - there are also guys out there that do try to get to know a girl for hours, or even days sometimes, before finding out she's not single and then they move on (or persist and fail). The better you can create and shorten your process, the more women you can approach and the more successful you'll be.

You will see that a lot of the very successful seducers on the boards spend less than a minute, or five minutes, getting to know a girl before taking her home. Because they screen women out not just on their words, but also on their appearance and body language. They are so good that they can snipe out the single girls who are looking for sex. You can do this too, but learning and cold approach is partly a numbers game and you have to deal with hundreds, thousands of rejections to get your process refined.

When I was single, I would make it a point to ask a girl if she was single or not within the third or fourth piece of conversation, within maybe 30 seconds of meeting a girl. It was very effective, because they rarely lie (as it catches them off guard), you don't waste much more time on the ones who are taken, and you can move quickly with the single girls.

Read: https://www.girlschase.com/content/are-you-single-why-always-ask-girls

Which brings us to:
2. Cold approach involves many rejections and dealing with many unavailable women. But your approaches and conversations with these unavailable women reduces your approach anxiety and also makes it easier to talk to the women who ARE single and looking. Always strive for analysis and improvement, and treat taken women as practice for the real catches.
3. Make your process more efficient. If I had one critique, it is that it seems you are spending too much time deep diving before finding out if she's available or not. It obviously depends on the situation, but I can tell you from experience I've gotten numbers from girls within 30 seconds of meeting them (or rejected from the ones that weren't interested or were taken) and when I walk away, they sometimes know close to nothing about me. It really builds up intrigue and mystery, but because I dress well and had good fundamentals there was some kind of underlying trust and attraction.
4. Sometimes girls will throw the boyfriend card as a bullshit test and then move fast with you anyway after some sexy persistence. This is just something to learn from practice, experience, and lots of failure. You have to learn to read between the lines. For me though, I trust that girls are being honest when they say they're taken, and I move on.

Other respondents also had great points.

It applies to all attractive girls, regardless of age. The only age group that seems to have a high "single" contingent are teenagers, whom I assume are single because the guys they are exposed to (high school guys) usually suck at managing their relationships.
