Pick Up and College Game

[Mystique]

Hey Chase and GC Forum seducers,
I've been reading gc articles for a while but have not actually taken learning the social art as a skill set. So when i finally decided to i tried doing the newbie assignment but couldn't pass finding locations for pick up due to the neighborhood i live in. I'm on holiday and I'd be resuming my 2nd year in college in January next year. So I'm all excited and fired up that I'd do the cold approaches of my life in college only to see your (Chase) reply on the comment section in the article "will people recognise you are out to pick up girls", that cold approaching in college might not be good. So what i'm i supposed to do. I've read about social circle game but the learning curve is slower and I've not found success. I believe one that has no experience with girls can improve quickly running cold approach than social circle. My campus is not really b
ig but its well populated with lots of students and hot girls. Also in comments I see guys talk about being careful not to come off as the creepy pua guy, in my country puc doesn't exist. So what's your advice on college game style. Also i Know some guys here run college game, so for a beginner what's your advice on how to start meeting lots of girls. It deserves an article i think

Chatting up girls in college is pretty easy. Girls are friendly. Just be social. Don't think of it as "picking up girls". Talk to everyone. This will help you develop your conversational skills and social calibration, and as a result, you'll be more calibrated and less creepy. As for your reputation...dude who cares? I know I probably have some kind of reputation. A few months ago, a girl immediately said my name after I started talking to her, it was very weird, but you know what, she looks very happy that I approached her lol So a reputation is probably not a bad thing...I bet girls get jealous at each other if they see their friends getting approached by sexy guys.

Thanks for the tips @radeng and @smith. @smith when you say "Just be social. Don't think of it as 'picking up girls'." Do you mean use situational and indirect openers. I know you said not to think of it as pick up, but i still need to be clear on the style you are proposing. @radeng is good to know that picking up girls in college is normal

That's the whole point. I'm not proposing any style, and that's what I want you to do - Let go. You don't think whether you need an indirect opener or situational opener when you're talking to your friends right? I want you to treat everyone as if they're already your friends. Enjoy socializing and talking to people with no outcome in mind. This change in attitude will make people open themselves up to you very quickly.

For some reason College game scare me shitless. My one friend does it pretty nonchalantly, which I'm really envious about. I simply can't shake the creep factor.
Honestly most 90% of the time I have nothing to talk about. Maybe cause I'm boring but weather small talk really is terrible. Situational is a lot more natural.
What do you guys talk about?

+1 what Radeng said

Do what he outlined and you'll be good.

Really the only difference between college girls and older girls, in my experience, is that college girls on average are still in a more "cliquey" type of environment and they have less life experience which means they do not have as much depth of personality as say an older girl would.

This is on average and there are plenty of rules to the exception.

But yeah I don't understand why there is so much hype about college game vs. regular game.

Like when you get on campus you have to game college girls differently because they are this special breed of women that do not respond to seductive moves as regular women do...

Don't overthink it!

The "I have a boyfriend" response fucking irritates me. It just makes me realise how shit my fundamentals and looks are :/
Thing is, on campus you have the Paradox of choice. Too many options makes it impossible to decide on one thing. But as you said, this ties in to "Don't overthink it", which I still find myself doing often.
It's all about fundamentals, fundamentals and fundamentals.
And the thing is, girls on campus have this defense mechanism activated. I want to go and talk to them, not to get their numbers or sleep with them, just to talk to them. They just have these walls up. But I guess all women do.

Radeng's response is great. It's something I very recently figured out via girlschase and some of my own self-exploration. Just a couple things I want to add to it:

1. This strategy will absolutely NOT WORK if you're going in with the mindset of "how do I approach this girl" or "How do I get her number or get her on an insta date" or w.e. What you really need to be asking yourself is: How can I add value to the lives of the people I interact with on a daily basis? Adding value should be intrinsic for its own sake, it should not be a means to an end.

2. It requires that you actually be out and about throughout your day. This means:
-Study on campus/in public
-Go to the gym on a daily basis
-Go for a walk every once in a while
- Join intermurals/clubs/other organized activities
-Find as many excuses to be on campus as you can

Cause even if you talk to every cute girl you see, just the time you spend walking to and from class won't be enough.

3. I don't know you and where you're at on your journey. But if you still have massive AA, you might have to do some "approaching". I recommend going to actual parties to do this. Approach girls there till your AA is low enough that you actually enjoy socializing with strangers. Once that's done, it becomes much easier to pull this off.
