Mav3rick's newbie assignment

[lceman]

mav·er·ick
/ˈmav(ə)rik/
noun
1. an unorthodox or independent-minded person.​

I'd like to post this introduction to share a little bit about me, why I'm here, and my goals.

I'm a 19yo college student in the southeastern US. Around 5'9, 160lbs, in shape but not impressively so. I am told I could easily pass for a high school kid. I'm here because I am on a mission to have the best possible life. Having numerous high quality relationships with high quality women is a part of this mission, therefore I have decided to learn the skills necessary to become a man capable of getting any girl he wants and plenty of girls he doesn't.

I have had reasonable success with women in the past. I pulled (but didn't follow through with) a handful of girls from social circle back in high school, but never thought of pickup as a skill, so I never consciously tried to get better. The last year in college, I have been intently focused on my individual goals to the extent of neglecting my social life. It's been a while since I had any kind of relationship, so it's time for me to get back out there. So what do I want?

I want the freedom to choose. I want to find a high quality (hot, smart, sexy, fun) woman out in public, bring her back with me in half an hour, then keep her around for months or years if I like her. I want to have exciting sexual adventures and to be able to sleep with as many women as I want. I want to keep a rotation where my favorite girls stick around and I'm free to go out and do as I please when I'm not with them. Most of all, I want to have fun, and I want girls to have fun with me.

I fully intend on writing out the entire newbie assignment as I do it- by all means, respond, call me out, ask a question, engage!

Day 1​

The assignment for today was to find four decent places to pick up chicks. Easy peasy. I was pretty busy so I stayed on campus.

Campus location #1- business school
Hundreds of people come in and out of here and walk on the nearby streets between classes. There are people sitting down studying inside and a big area outside with lots of tables for study, along with a little café, which actually isn't terrible but the line is always stupidly long

Pros: good mix of upper and lowerclassmen, instant date opportunity
Cons: most of the time people are only here to get to their class and leave.

Campus location #2- heart of campus
Once again, hundreds of people stream through here when it's time to go to class. There are tables outdoors where people study in the meantime. Less concentrated than the business school and less populated between classes, but a bit easier to walk around and just chill.

Pros: Nice outside vibe, sometimes there are organizations and such out here
Cons: Mostly freshmen, not much to do here other than study or go to class- walking around specifically for girls might feel a bit predatory

Campus location #3- final class hub
Guess what? Hundreds of people go through here too. There are a couple classroom buildings and a few little places to eat, and a lot more people just sitting around doing whatever people do when they sit around.

Pros: more people here sitting to stay for a bit, mix of upper and lower class
Cons: Inconvenient to get to unless I have a class there

Campus location #4- da gym
The gym is where I want to be a slayer. You can actually tell whether a girl has a nice body or not here! The main weight room holds maybe 90 people max, it's pretty big. There's also a smaller downstairs weight room, which can be easier to talk to someone but you have a smaller chance of a hb being there.

Pros: I won't lie there are some bad bitches at the gym I don't see anywhere else.
Cons: It's the gym. Any approach will need to involve some finessery

Campus location #5- honorable mention
It's this kinda lame park that isn't really a park. There's grass and lots of pathways in a rectangle and there are usually people walking around but not during classes.

Pros: people come here to walk and chill, low pressure approaches
Cons: less traffic, a good amount of older people come here

My random thoughts:
anywhere I go for class is a good opportunity for pickup, so if I take a couple minutes before and after class I'll get some easy practice in daily
My writing voice feels very forced, like I am unable to convey any personality at this point. Ah well, it'll develop.
In high pressure/attention environments like the library or when you're in a river of people I feel like the only way to go is direct and see if she's receptive so you can cut your losses and move on. Idk cause it isn't tested.

Tomorrow I think is about posture. I want to scout some off campus locations as well.

Question for anyone reading:
What do you do for an instant date if you don't want to eat anything and you don't like coffee?

Hey Mav3rick,

Nice to see you getting started here. Remember that this forum and the GC site are your friend. Use these resources well, dedicate yourself to the mastery-oriented approach, and you’ll find yourself living a life of dreamy, sexy abundance. Trust me on this because I was just getting started approaching on campus around this time last year. Lobo too even more recently. You’ll never find a better place to learn seduction than this place we call our home.

Of course there are all of Chase’s articles, and in addition, I highly recommend articles from the following authors who have helped me immensely:

Articles by Author: Allen Reyes | Girls Chase

www.girlschase.com

Articles by Author: Daniel Adebayo | Girls Chase

www.girlschase.com

Articles by Author: Alek Rolstad | Girls Chase

www.girlschase.com

Articles by Author: Halvor Jannike | Girls Chase

www.girlschase.com

In order, their forum names are Gunwitch, Bacchus, Teevster, and Carousel. In addition to these GC writers, there are many posters around the forum who are highly skilled such as Glow, fog (who is also a highly advanced texter), and plenty more. Hopefully you see how much of an absolute treasure trove this place is, and there is truly no where else like it. The literal best-of-the-best are right here with us.

Aside from this content, Gunwitch also has his famed SMMA course which will teach you fundamental concepts to build from - such as his seminal innovation of the 3 Keys. Many great seducers like Bacchus use these concepts at the core of their game, and I highly recommend it for beginners as it can vastly accelerate the learning curve as it did for me.

Question for anyone reading:
What do you do for an instant date if you don't want to eat anything and you don't like coffee?

Lots of options, although it is dependent on your unique environment and context.

But for example, you can take her for a walk around campus (as you preferably get closer and closer to your place), move her to a bench or comfortable sitting location nearby as you continue immersion her, or just keep immersion going where you are - for instance seducing her at the tables in the heart of campus until it’s time to pull. Inventiveness ans resourceful can lead you down many more potential paths as you keep learning as well.

Of course it doesn’t have to be a traditional “date” type of encounter, though a nearby cafe to your place is something some seducers find highly effective. It wasn’t the direction I gravitated towards at the beginning either, however, and I grew for my favorite type of game to be street nightgame after testing many different forms at the beginning - though retaining an overall crossgaming mentality is always the preference in my mind because you want to refine the skills you need to become the Anytime Seducer. The seducer who can approach a girl anywhere, anytime, and have her. That’s what you wrote about, too, right?

Regardless, I challenge you to keep testing out tactics and disassociate your current self from the type of seducer you want to become.

And it’s up to you to know the campus area like the back of your hand - there’s no way for us to be aware of every good isolation area in your town because there are surely some that are rather special to the campus and are also in optimal seduction locations (at least somewhat consistent traffic with preferably stationary, lone girls and fairly close to your place). It’s where the scouting, field-testing with a learner mindset, and concentrated experience becomes crucial.

In high pressure/attention environments like the library or when you're in a river of people I feel like the only way to go is direct and see if she's receptive so you can cut your losses and move on. Idk cause it isn't tested.

This is common thinking but nah, it necessarily isn’t true nor is it optimal in the minds of some very advanced gamers.

Sure, it can work - but it does present a higher risk for her to immediately enter a knee-jerk state and tends to turn into more into volume-based game with some other inefficiencies as well. Personally, I prefer to know that if I see a girl I want anywhere in any situation, I can run conceptually-sound, influential techniques with strong verbals to drive her state and give me the best opportunity to take THAT girl from stranger-to-bedroom.

So, I recommend considering ways to engage in sprezzatura and make your approach feel like a matter of fate for her as you run real game with your language as a tool and immerse her into the world of her fantasies by perceiving unique perceptions about her reality.

There are no shortcuts to learning seduction, and that’s why most don’t even start the Newbie Assignment, let some finish it, and let alone approach girls.

You’re already, as Gunwitch says, a champion of life for starting and ahead of most guys who wish they could do the things you’re on your way to doing. Plus, you’re clearly a clever, ambitious, and problem-solving guy who has envisioned a wet-and-exceptional life for yourself and unafraid of the challenges you’ll face on the road to becoming a skilled seducer.

So keep up the progress, study the resources here, gain in-field experience, grow with your peers, read lay reports to learn even more of what's possible, and trust your developmental process. If you do this, I think you’ll find out for yourself just how succulently sweet of a lifestyle seduction can be.

Thanks for the in depth response @Lofty! There's a lot to learn for sure- I'm glad to be a part of this community.

Day 2: Walk the Walk
​

Day 2 is about body language, specifically the way you walk. Normally, this would be a piece of cake- I have a pretty confident stride- except I am still recovering from an ankle injury, so I was limping a little bit. Oh well, the good thing is I had the opportunity to learn how it feels to walk extra slowly.

Chase wrote about how moving your shoulders up and down is what makes a guy's walk sexy. This motion seemed a bit forced and awkward, when going to class I felt like conor mcgregor walking into a business meeting. I didn't notice any extra attention because of the way I was walking, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I hear girls can be pretty sneaky.

Another part of day 2 is watching the people around you to see what they are telling you by the way they move. I notice pronounced cases naturally without looking for them. There are far too many guys I can immediately tell are weird/awkward/low self esteem. I even see one grown man, a professor by the way he's dressed, looking defeated like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. Poor guy. An odd thing I notice is the lack of girls walking in an attractive fashion. I did not see a single girl that I was drawn to purely by the way she walked. However, I did realize a reason I find some otherwise decent looking girls unattractive- they waddle. It looks so dumb to me and is such a turn off.

also- pickup location 5(?)
There is a grocery store literally a two minute walk from my apartment building. Once I build some skills up this will be the ideal spot for an insta pull. There are always a few decent looking girls in there, except when I went in at 830am this morning to buy frozen peas to use as an icepack.

Day 3
​

Another cursory write up without a whole lot to say because not a whole lot happened. Eye contact was the assignment, and eye contact was done. I had some trouble earlier in the day with my eye contact being too imposing/rude/intimidating. I was in my zone, especially in the gym, and I think I had a bit of RDF, resting douche face. One thing I did notice is that when I would look around at people, I was much more perceptive of when someone was watching me without looking directly at me. It's interesting to see and can be quite subtle.

One thing I keep doing when opening is saying something, exchanging a few words, then leaving. Part of it is that I haven't seen/approached anyone I was unusually attracted to. The other part goes deeper than that. I feel the weight of societal pressure to be about my business and to not stop and talk to random people for any amount of time. This, of course, is a useless and detrimental thing to feel so it must be eradicated immediately. Tomorrow the assignment is to go say hi to six attractive girls. What I will do is have a legitimate conversation with them until I really have somewhere to be, they clearly want me gone, or there's a good time to get a number or move her around.

Day 4: The Fun Begins
​

Today is one of those days that marks a transition. Where a comfort zone is broken out of and a paradigm is shifted. Except a paradigm is never shifted... it is shattered, like a sledgehammer through glass. It is only when the pieces are at your feet that you realize the glass was a mirror all along, and what you thought you saw of the world was merely your reflection.

I have a lot of thoughts written down from today, and I will do my best to assemble my inchoate ramblings into a coherent post.

It's going to be a long one. This is some noob shit, so go read someone else's journal if you want to learn seduction.

Spoiler: long boring account of approaches

The assignment was to say Hi to 6 girls. Did I succeed? Kind of. I opened at least 6 girls but used situational instead of actually saying hi at least a couple times. Hi seems to me like something that is best delivered with a certain vibe, the kind of vibe that is nigh impossible to manufacture in certain situations. When a cute girl passes you walking the other direction, looking on her phone, in a stream of 50 others doing the same thing, "Hi" will not cut it to start a conversation. Now, saying hi to get her attention and then launching into some sort of question/dialogue will do the trick but once again it has to be delivered well.

Early in the day, after a business appointment and before my first class, I walk through a well populated area of campus. It is cold and rainy, the kind of day where everyone hunkers over and counts down the seconds before they are inside and warm again. This is not the best situation to be out and about looking for women to open. However, Opportunity can be coaxed to life at any time, in any situation, if you are willing to put in a little effort. This morning, I was not. I walked past two girls I should have opened in some way or form, but my mind was not open enough.
"I'm in a crowd of a hundred people going one way, and she's in a crowd of a hundred going another way. There's nothing I can do!"
I get to class without talking to anyone. I leave class without seeing anyone I want to approach, walk to the parking garage and stand in line to pay my ticket. An overweight asian girl joins the cue and I say something friendly. She asks if she can venmo me if I pay her ticket because she forgot her wallet. I suggest she go get it and I will save her spot. She leaves and a new girl gets in line. This girl has blue eyes, which is good, but she has a mask on and I cannot see her body. This will be my first approach of the day

Me: (something dumb about the line)
Her: (receptive)
we talk for a min (this pay machine sucks. it takes forever to read your card)
Me: oh and I'm saving some chicks spot. if you take it.... (I don't remember, I tease her about being a thief)
Her: laughing and smiling
I pay, leave, say goodbye, she says have a good day.

I could have gotten her number here. She was receptive enough. So what was the problem? Well, I had not confirmed that she was actually cute yet and didn't want to move forward without knowing for sure. There are important lessons here:
First of all, get her to take her mask down so I can see her face.
Second, and this is a general principle.... If you're on the fence, assume she's attractive enough. You can always decide not to hang out with her, but you can never decide to go back in time to get her number/ask her out.

That was around 1:15, I am busy doing work and do not talk to anyone until around 5:30. I leave the library and do a few laps in the area to finally work up the courage to stop someone walking past me and say hi. It's rough. I either decide she isn't hot enough or miss the chance at the last moment and say nothing. I resign to going out later in the evening and get back into my car. At this point, I'm tired, hungry, and my feet hurt. I realize that my earbuds are not in my pocket and immediately realize they must be in the library. I am pissed for all of ten seconds until I realize what just occurred. The Seduction Gods have taken pity on me and blessed me with an opportunity! I now have a functional, although stupid opener.

I see two girls walking towards where my car is parked. I can't tell how attractive they are, they're about to walk past when I say Hi. It's a forceful Hi, I don't know how else you get someone to stop what they're doing and pay attention to you when all you say is hi. They are both decently attractive but nothing special.

Me, immediately after saying hi: do you guys think I have any hope? I left my earbuds in the library, they could be gone by now"
Them: "oh no you should be fine"
Me: something
them: something
we move on with our lives. They are sympathetic to the cause but feel no type of way about me.

I see some girl about to hop in her car. Once again I am on the fence about whether she is hot, but oh well she is about to get in. I say hey, once again forcefully from at least ten feet away and she looks back with a weird look like who the hell is talking to me like this.

Me: blah blah airpods
Her: "there's lost and found!"
Me: oh ya hope they're not stolen
Her: something

She gets in her car and drives away. This interaction was important for one main reason: she originally had a very negative reaction, then I started talking and she softened up. This is great to know for approach situations as proof it's better to just say something and work from there instead of worrying about having the perfect thing to say right off the bat.
Note that this exchange was sympathetic on her part, not sexual at all.

I cross the road, still moving back towards the library. There is a girl walking towards me who looks like she might be hot but has her head down. I learned my lesson earlier, so I proceed to open.

Me: "so how long do you think my airpods can be in the library before they get stolen"

she looks up. She might be hot normally but it looks like she has just been doing a lot of crying. One eye is extremely puffy and she looks very very rough like she broke up with her boyfriend ten minutes ago. Interestingly enough, I saw her walking with a guy when I was scouting a few minutes earlier and they started walking separate ways. Maybe that is what happened, or maybe seeing the two planted the seed in my mind that her state was due to a relationship problem.

Anyway, she says something like "oh 30 minutes probably"- I just say oh gotcha and keep moving. I don't know how to deal with girls who are in that sort of low emotional state yet, and I wasn't prepared to learn then.
Side note: There was a girl walking behind her who had this look on her face like WTF is wrong with you when I started talking to the girl. Idk if my body language was off when I approached or if this onlooker was just wack. It really was a comically exaggerated face though, like ugh men are the scum of the earth type deal. I thought it was hilarious but probably a sign I was screwing something up, because ideally any onlookers would be thinking 'damn, I wish he had come up to me'

Anyways, my airpods are in the library, I grab em and walk out. There's this asian chick I see out of the corner of my eye going the same way as me. She turns up to go on the same path

I look over my shoulder "are you following me?" -- this was said a little to aggressively I think. needs to be more playful--
Her: takes airpod out "no no just going this way" (I can tell her english is at best passable. that's kinda hot ngl)
Me, with a smile "naw, I'm just messing with you"
Her: Smiles friendly(ily?) ---note: I can tell that she smiled when I smiled and changed my body language, before she actually understood the words I said to her. I take this as a sign of good nonverbal communication---
Me: "are you listening to music?" (stupid question, make it open ended eg 'what kind of music are you listening to')
Her: "No I'm actually on a call sorry"
Me: "Oh gotcha" *nods head*
I walk onwards. She walks onwards.

I think this one was pretty good, decent nonverbals switching the vibe after opener. I will pursue this type of girl (on phone/busy) better in the future

I decide to go to the gym later, around 730, to see what kind of girls hang around there at that time. The answer is not many and not the good kinds. I see a couple that interest me but the approach logistics are abysmal and I never even get near them, for example being halfway across the gym while they're in a weight room that requires a reservation I didn't make. Oh well. I chat with a gym employee who is somewhat attractive. I am incongruent and she has a job, so we move on with our lives.

Oh also I forgot one girl I chatted with in the library. She barged into my study room cause she reserved it at a certain time, turns out she found another one. She didn't want to disturb me because I "looked situated", whatever that means lol. She apparently needed it for a job interview so we have some light banter and we move on.

Ok that was a lot to write. I ended up approaching 6 or 7 girls, which is nothing in the grand scheme of things. But for today, it was a big victory, the kind that is needed for any war to be fought and won in due time.

Progress:
Broke through to begin having the ability to play street game against a target going the opposite way as me. This is a big deal because I would guess that the majority of people I see are moving past me on the street, it would stand to reason that my best girl prospects will be too. I don't know how to do this well, at all, but at least I have started doing it. I think next time I will try saying 'Hi I have a question' for you to get their attention and break their focus.
I am becoming more and more okay with the idea of talking to girls in the library when everyone is being quiet
I have proof that you can start by saying something dumb and get a positive interaction out of it
I'm working on some great banter for specific situations

What I notice:
It seems ideal (correct me if I'm wrong) to see a girl before she sees you so you can give her an opportunity to notice you and give you an approach invitation. Which means you can't be looking at her before she looks at you. Which means to be a successful pick up artist, you must first learn the art of seeing without looking. Being constantly aware of every situation may be a necessity at high levels.
It might be better to have a stationary post and join the herd in a convenient way when you see someone you want to talk to.
All my interactions were positive (mostly), friendly human interactions. But none of them were sexual and except for that girl in the parking lot and maybe the one in the library I could not have gotten anything out of the exchange at my current level.

New Principles:
If unsure, assume she's hot enough to open/get a number

Summary:
I talked to some girls. Nothing special happened.


If you read this all the way through, congrats soldier. I hope you got something out of this in some way shape or form.

Until then, good night all. I'll be back for day 5. And btw each day of the challenge is a consecutive calendar day -tomorrow is 11/5/21.

 

[lceman]

interlude: I have been attempting street game without knowing anything about street game. Chase has some great articles on tactics, so I'll try some of those out today as I go. I wonder how long it would have taken me to develop any useful tactics without this site. I would probably become very frustrated very quickly

Day 5- Talk the Talk
​

Today was another day of breakthroughs that can only be achieved with much turmoil. I will spare you the excruciating detail in this write up.

Mission was to go up to six girls, say "hi hows your day going" then do as you wish. I found this to lower my chances of saying anything at all, so I tossed the script out of the window. There were considerably less people about due to it being friday. and cold.

1: talked to some girl in one of my classes. Lighthearted talk, she was at least a little interested- fairly cute, but not the type I would normally consider going after. However she might be an interesting perspective shift, so I'll talk to her on monday and see if I want to do anything with her.

Nothing special on the next few approaches. Said a couple things after the opener but never transitioned to full blown conversation. That's what I need to work on.

I did talk to a girl where I should have said Hi how are you because my situational opener was weak and contrived and she was uncomfortable.

Had a mini life crisis where I was supposed to be doing work in the library and all I could think about was pickup and the approaches I had left to do. I was very disheartened, feeling like this assignment was a chore and then had a breakthrough. I can freestyle the script and put my individuality out into the world.

Enlightened, on my way back home I effortlessly join a group of three girls conversing about snow where they are from. They are not particularly attractive so we part ways without saying a word. I have some fun banter with a girl I've never seen before in my apartment complex.

Notes: It's only weird if you let it be weird. If you just talk to people all the time, join other's conversations, and choose people out of a crowd to talk to without having an awkward vibe then your non weirdness frame will win.

Reinforced the idea of opening when you're not sure if they're attractive: when in doubt, blurt it out

My personal issues to get past (sticking points, I believe): ejecting when there's no good reason to because of inertia and doing what I set out to instead of stopping to talk
Getting a number or a hangout if I like her
Be congruent- if there's no plausible deniability to talk to her just say hey in a sexy way like a sexy man meeting a woman he might end up liking

I'm not sure how much sense today's post made. I don't really care, it's out of my brain and into the world.

​

 

[lceman]

Day 6- day off
​

There's not much to write here because I didn't do a whole lot. I talked to a couple girls, nothing particularly noteworthy happened. I also was in bed by 8pm last night, I think that's a record for me.

Do people really read these journals? I'm going to start a new thread for when I have an actual journal, my assignment is LAME AF to read

 

[lceman]

Day 7​

Okay, day 7 was a failure. It's sunday and my whole mission has revolved around campus street game so far. This should have been an obvious error on my part- there was practically no one out today. I need to find some better venues off campus. I'll need to scout, I really have no idea where college age people go in a college town when not on campus. I've also been reading some good material and have found some glaring holes in my attempts at game (I would not call it playing) that need to be fixed.

Tomorrow, I'll have to make up for my failure today and accomplish the next day as well.

A wise man once posted, "the first few thousand approaches don't count"- I can read all day but I'll never get anywhere unless I go approach a huge volume of girls. It's time to go ham or go home.

 

[lceman]

gonna post day 8 tomorrow, got some great work in but I'm tired. I think i'll write it up during class tomorrow lol. Also, day 9 may have to be a freestlye because everyone that rides the university bus is lame. I'll go for a phone number instead

 

[lceman]

It has come to my attention that I don't see anyone else having completed this challenge in 14 days, meaning there are some MASSIVE PUSSIES on this site. Therefore, I will edit my earlier posts to make them legible so there exists an exact account of how this monky gets launched into space, and maybe some others will follow in my place by actually putting in the work they need to.
Actually, I can't edit them anymore. Too bad for anyone reading!!

Day 8- Redemption
​

Double or Nothing.

Day 7 Assignment- approach 4 girls using direct interest
Day 8 Assignment- approach 2 girls sitting down

Spoiler: indirect, didn't count

Approach 1: I was walking towards the gym, she passed me on the way. I open with "what's with girls wearing ballcaps in the gym?" She was nice, we said a couple more things and kept walking. Oh, and she was wearing earbuds- not once has that been a problem for me so far.

Thoughts: I should have directly transitioned to a compliment after the ballcap remark-- that would have created an open loop and also she would know why I actually stopped her. It would have been easy too, she had a lot of earrings.
That doesn't count for the mission, I went indirect like a pussy and she wasn't sitting.

Spoiler: less important interactions

Opened some girl in the gym, she was in line after me. I made some comment about her benching 315, she was like a 6 so I was fine with ending the conversation quickly.

Saw a cute girl walking in on the way out, I passed her without saying anything. What stopped me was trying to think of a unique compliment- I didn't in time.
Solution: Have a set general opener when you can't think of anything specific for someone

There was a girl I should've gone and said hey to in the library. I didn't because I had some notion that pickup is ill-advised in the library, especially on a quiet floor where everyone is fully engrossed in their studies. She wasn't that cute so I wasn't too mad.

I went down through my apartment lobby, ostensibly to check my mail, and I saw a girl who might have been cute with like 3 tables worth of studying materials. I walk a little past, turn over my shoulder, and ask her "What are you studying for, the bar exam?" we have a conversation for a couple minutes- she is a senior, needs to pass accounting, has a job lined up. I bid her good luck and move on, I did not find her cute enough to want to hang out with later.

I was walking around campus and was about to pass a girl with bright green shoes on. She got near, I prepared to open and her face threw me off. I faltered when I opened by complimenting her shoes but she smiled said thanks and kept moving. That's the first direct opener, it counts.

There was a two set I opened on my way into the library- they were laughing about the way they were walking I think. I open with "what are y'all doing, trying to figure out how to walk?" they laugh and are going to the library too. I bust on the hotter one for walking fast "like my mom" and say she should get some 5lb weights to accompany her. I had no clue how to get her number, really not much experience in handling 2 sets.

I opened some girl sitting down on a bench by saying I liked her stripy pants, she has a distinctive style. She is startled (didn't notice me walk almost right past her, had earbuds in) but warms up quickly. She's not that hot so I don't pursue anything but I could've kept talking to her and gotten her number.

Some other girl I opened with a weak I like your jeans, she kept walking because she was almost past me when she went by (I was sitting down).

Random funny thing I almost opened some chick on a bench on her phone but she started talking and she had a manly voice. Nope!

Spoiler: Art Hoe

I had just parked on campus and I saw an artsy type (doc martins, lots of eyeliner(eyeshadow?idk), ripped jeans etc looking at me. I get out of my car and join her, we are walking the same direction. She seems cute, had a nice rack so probably had an ass (does the transitive rule apply here?) We'll call her ArtHoe.
(paraphrased)
Me: "I like your style, it's very artsy"
AH: "thanks, I feel like I'm just dressed like every other art hoe out here though"
Me: "oh really? I don't feel like I see many of them"
AH: "oh, us queers are out but I guess only on some days" (something like that, definitely mentioned being a queer)
Me: "so do you have a group chat? 'lets all go out in full force tuesday'"
-this goes on for maybe 2 minutes total-
she introduces herself to me, 20 secs later she informs me she has a bus to catch. She awkwardly tells me to have a good day and I say bye.

Thoughts: I could have easily gotten the number here, so why didn't I? I was very thrown off by the fact she referred to herself as queer, ngl I have no clue what that means. Also, I wasn't thinking with my dick enough and she was cute but I wasn't looking at her like someone I wanted to bring home with me. When she introduced herself, I should've handshuck to at least make some contact. I did not.
However, this opener was a natural way to start a conversation and I can see the power of being a PUA even through a rudimentary interaction like this.

Okay, so that's two girls sitting, 4 girls direct, and a few more indirect. That counts for today and yesterday.


Questions:
what the hell do you say to someone you'll never see again? 'See ya' just doesn't do the trick, cause you won't.
Does opening with a compliment truly let her know you're interested in her? If it's just some generic compliment about clothes it seems more like a conversation starter.
Can you open a two set directly? Seems to me like it would create problems from the start, but then again I don't know anything.
How do you open girls well when posting up alongside a populated walkway? I feel like you'd have to get her attention before she is at your spot or else she will just keep walking.

Day 9- half day off
​

The assignment said to find a couple girls on the bus system to talk to, however everyone who rides the bus here is lame or homeless, so I took the half day off. I did a couple cold opens and ended up talking to one chick for like 5 minutes.

I need to work on kino, leading the conversation, and a few smaller things in order to get anywhere. She wasn't particularly interesting or hot so I didn't get her number. Learned some things and worked more on the impulse to open instead of being a wallflower. All in all, a decent day's work.

Day 10- Are You Single?
​

No, I did not complete the mission. I had an especially hard time with this one because asking "are you single" just seemed so miscalibrated to me when I was in position to potentially use it. I did ask one girl, it went poorly, we moved on with our lives. NBD.

I did learn a lot today though, more about myself relating to the game than actual field experience. I would say today was a net positive; I found some new pieces of the optimal mindset and some ideas for how and why I'm not doing what I need to be doing.

I have a ton of notes from today that I'm not going to edit and post, there's too much to sort through. Maybe one day I'll treat you all to a BFBOT (Big Fucking Block Of Text) of my unedited notes from this assignment so you can read and weep at my woefully inept note formatting attempts!

In short, I was a big pussy. I feel ill.

Until next time,
Mav

Day 11- Walk The Walk, Part 2
​

Another lame and short post today. I read some great articles on posture, muscle alignment, and how the entire body walks as one mechanism (not just your legs and arms swinging). The main thing I learned was that 'alpha' or men that are good with girls in general do not hold any tension in their bodies because they are not nervous for any reason. I'm trying to walk more loosely; it seems awkward and contrived to me so far and I haven't seen any good results yet. I'll keep trying.
