Hello people, I approached around 10 women in London today, and got blown off by every single one of them. Two particular sets seemed interest but towards the end of the interaction they told me they had boyfriends.

I usually open asking for directions then I ask her where she is from, what she does, and finally her name, and then I tell her we should hang out sometime, and it does NOT work.

So Brahs, point out my flaws.

Just a quick question; where or how do you approach these women? Give us a quick random example.

Your questionaire is very common.If she dated everyone making these questions she would have hundreds of boyfriends by now.You need to be unique to tell sth noone has told her before about.
Directions,where she is from are normal to build trust(to look normal) but then what she does and her name are very straightforward and personal.

Walking up to them on the street is the toughest approach of 'em all because it's so random and ambush-like. She tenses up, (may also think you are a stalker), or is in bad mood or is going somewhere specific and simply has too many other things on her mind that involve her daily going about and have nothing with with a random stranger asking her for directions.

Instead, set a trap. Go to the Trafalgar Sq. or Piccadilly Circus (for two examples) and sit your ass down. There are tons of young foreign chicks there at all times, and the space is tight, so pretty soon one or two will sit right next to you. See what happened, instead of you ambushing them randomly you are letting them come to you. Totally different scenario. The shield is nowhere near as high. And I concur with Kamaki, nothing interesting about your questions. They are equivalent of an online "what up?" message sent to a random profile.

Instead, whenever possible turn to humor if you can. Humor is perfect antidote for her tensed state or bad or neutral mood. So start by making a random funny comment (about the place you both are). Chances are she'll smile, or will respond in some manner. From there you take the convo anywhere you want, but if I were you I would be eventually probing her about her likes and plans in town (intel). And forget about asking her to hang sometime, but escalate to immediate effect (once you see that she is about to leave, or once you have a feel that she is warm to you) tell her that you know a great coffee shop, or a gallery, or some such place (recall your intel info. about her likes), down the street. Or offer her to walk together back to the tube, or wherever she's going. If she's a single tourist and is in random sightseeing mood chances are she will not mind, and would appreciate company, as long as she feels safe and non-irritated about you, which she shouldn't as long as you played your cards right.

That's just one scenario.

Also, your number of approaches is way, way too low.

Don't approach groups of women and make it harder on yourself.

Approach women that are by themselves.

dk902, I usually approach women that are by themselves, but on weekends most women are with their girlfriends.
Gaston, I am a not a great conversationalist,and not great with humor either. However, I will try sitting down next time. I started daygame very recently, bars and clubs are quite expensive and they're almost always a sausage fest, but I must say gaming women is a easier in those venues. Nevertheless, I will keep trying and instead of asking so many question I will make statements from now on.

Haha, I was in Bangkok recently and I witnessed this:


Random Israeli caveman: Where are you from?

Random chick: Sweden

Random Israeli caveman: Sweden? Ibrahimovic, gooooaaal

The chick gets up and leaves the premises.



Also recently in Croatia:

Waiter: Where are you from?

Restaurant girl: Kiev

Waiter: Shevchenkooooo

Ukrainian girl rolls her eyes in deathly bored way, turns her head, and looks away.

There is a big difference.To an Ukrainian girl I would never talk about football unless maybe if she were proud nationalist from western Ukraine.To swedish girl I have never talked about football as well.I talk about football only with Balkan girls(Serbian,Bulgarian,Romanian) because they are proud of their athletes.
You need to calibrate according to each girl.I would never talk to a Russian girl about her piercings nor to an English girl about mythology.

Very much so. That's why players, at least international ones, need to have larger understanding as well as specifics of many cultures and regions. For example, simply saying "Bodiroga was the best" may be a magic phrase in Serbia that may soften up many hardened facades

And players need to discard scripts and be able to think on their feet as no two conversations or situations will necessary go or develop the same way. But that's what's also great about it. The game is truly fun if approached in good spirits.

Post: #16

Exactly.Sports is a huge issue in Serbia since many Serbian women are engaged in sports and actually prefer athletes(read also polish rumble report from Belgrade on this issue).In western world it is considered lack of tact to talk to women about sports or politics.(only German girls have no taboos with German girls you can talk about everything like if they were men(they are actually men in mind).

Post: #17

Kids, for all your European women folk questions, ask Kamaki

Post: #18

There are international players out there who have huge experience.Especially English and Scandinavian.They have travelled everywhere.Generally these are the ones who pick up everywhere I have been (also Scandinavian women fuck with English guys and English women prefer Scandinavian guys).These two are who move the continent in terms of banging.

Post: #19

English? Really? I've seen them in Prague, Spain, and Greece, and they were of average garden variety. And were generally not highly regarded by locals (no offense to them, just reporting the fame) due to their traveling in loud and obnoxious packs, excessive and immature drinking, and drunk troublemaking etc. Except in the US, to which they go to individually and are of lower profile. And American women do like English ever since Hugh Grant, or was it Cary Grant.

But Scandis do travel extensively. They are literally everywhere, in every corner, nook, and cranny of the world. I'd say they are the biggest travelers in general, followed by Germans, Dutch, and Aussies.

But we digress.

Nice examples kamaki, will try it out on Monday and let you know how it goes.

Post: #21

so how did it go? im from london also but finding certain places hard. usually have the same openers as you and i either bottle it and dont take it any further or ask a yes/no question that leads to a straight answer and thus no further convo!

I get the impression that just about every schmuck running a pua seminar or website goes to London at one point or another. Watch 10 random streetgame vids on youtube and probably at least 5 or 6 will be somewhere on Oxford Street.

This makes you wonder how many hot, long term female resident Londoners have already been hit on regularly by some slick cat asking for directions and trying to get her number.

Usually I find "stationary" daygame much easier to pull off than the "mobile" kind where you have to stop a woman who's going somewhere. A.) It's too easy to make it seem like an ambush B.) A lot of these girls are already on their way somewhere and might not want to be bothered.

Try hitting up a café, or some of the recreational spots by the river, where people come to hang out, or any place where you can have a long conversation in a laid back environment.

As a northerner i find people in london to be very reserved to the extent they seem rude. I also find talking to random strangers when sober in the day just does not seem to really fit in with the British culture. You have to remember most of the game material we read is suited to an American audience although there is alot of similarites also a lot of differences ect America has a dating culture which we don't and are more outspoken about their personal achievements . you just have to learn to adapt certain aspects to British culture.

I complete disagree with you.

Actually i find british women to be the most responsive women in the world to day gaming. England is one of the easiest countries in the world to get numbers and to close, period.

I find it strange that the OP approached 10 girls and didnt get a single number, if that was me, i would just approach another 10 chicks

I would never open with asking directions unless I was working to fix some serious shyness of speaking to strangers. I suppose it can work if your subcommunication is dead on and you pique her interest quickly after opening with some interesting statement about her.

There's going to be a precedent in her mind about an interaction where someone asks her for directions, and she instantly enters the frame of helping someone, I think it's hard to break out of that. Instead you should just paralyze her with something completely unexpected, not necessarily a compliment but that's a good example.
