"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Do you remember what I told you in another thread, that you come off as a beggar?
Your behavior here bears that out. Why were you seeking her approval instead of flipping the script and getting her to want to impress you?
I hope that someday it will click for you.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Sounds like you need to enjoy the process and stop being in such a rush. My interpretation.
yeah.
I defs need to ask the ch1ck what she’s open to /wants primarily first - then calibrate my approach to that on the date.
I was unsure if this ch1ck wanted a NSA hookup or more than that. I didn’t have time to discuss w her in the chat before we bounced to a date .
So I just ran that game but it was a mismatch.

Some chicks are straightforward.. don’t mind my escalation and not bothered re connection much cos they just want a few laughs and to get down to biz that night. (Hookups)

important to clarify that beforehand !!

Does anyone here know of any guides or resources specifically about day game? I can usually do well at a salsa or bachata place at night or when going out with friends, but I don't really like staying out late because of my beauty sleep and fitness. So, most of the women I’ve met lately have been through Hinge or work-related events, which isn’t ideal. Also, since I’m new in town, I don't have any friends to go sarging with.

dude , there are different scenarios.
You are missing some context.
That flipping of the script is done early on the app chat anyway, not on the date.
And if a chick indicates a strong desire for me , there is no need to do the “impress me “ thing.
That overcomplicates and fvcks fhings up.
If the situ is an NSA hookup.. no need to do that.

@condonrekema
Day game is quite tough. I only do that at daytime social events . Festivals etc where there is a party atmosphere , alcohol and dancing etc tbh. Maybe bookstores and cafes also are good locations to seduce other types of women sometimes too ..

I don’t know of any good dedicated DayGame guides tho tbh. Never come across one.

well, in saying that Strauss’ book had some DayGame scenarios. That’s pretty solid.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I’m not sure where you think I was seeking her approval??? Or pvssy begging? Wtf …pls point it out what I did .. giving her a once over with my eyes ? Lol
That’s a bit of a jump to pvssy begging imo.

but let’s say you’re right. Somehow..
so how do YOU do that personally.
the flipping of the script.

give me some lines and material. Or some screenshots of text messages ideally.

Happy to test it out.

Thank you, sir.
I've been reflecting about that and considering the suggestion you made about day events, made me reflect that maybe just maybe I've been just too lazy. Almost anywhere you can find something to-do on a Sunday or Saturday with a bunch of strangers.
I appreciate the words of wisdom.

A guy came in for an appointment today in a government office. He was quite talkative in which is a quiet environment (whether it was nerves that was making him chatty, i dont know) i was on the door. He was chatting to me a bit, then a female customer came in, so i had to go and see her, so he sat down, the only free chair left was next to him and i kind of pointed her in that direction. Anyway, it was all quiet, then he started chatting to her telling her about himself, then asking about her, her background etc. Quite a ballsy move from him i think, considering the environment. And credit to him, he got the number.

Just thought i'd add this to your thread, seen as though it's CA.

Review of last night and observations ;

pretty busy “cool” bar with a venue next door and a big name DJ playing so lots of hot ladies and cool guys floating around. I have not been out trying nightgame in quite a while

I was moving between the bar (inside) and the verandah outaide on the street next to the venue and the queue outaide there. Street was busy

general observations
- bar staff were 2 trendy dressed tall gay dudes and 2 hipster chicks.
- lots of people and lots of cliques of 3-4 mixed ppl at tables.
- 2 hot chicks 1 Asian 1 white I sat next to but they were deep in convo about some dating /man drama. I really liked the Asian and she observed me possibly IOI/liked me but I did not open cos they was busy furiously talking. They left soon after. Meh.

- tried talking to some older unattractive chick just for conversation but she was drunk or stoned and didn’t give me much and turned away.
- chicks inside bar in pairs but very young for me, too young. Could see them looking at me judging as I was solo until 10:30pm

- tons of hot chicks walking past bar and lining up to venue , but either with hot dudes or in mixed cliques with hot dudes.

- almost every hot chick was usually with a hot tall Chad dude …or 2 or 3 such dudes in a clique. Either tall or big framed well dressed dudes.

- the bathroom of the bar I nicknamed “the white room” as I suspect everyone doing Coke in the toilet stalls . Multiple voices and ppl coming in /out of toilets.

- lots of folks on drugs coming in/out of venue.
- general druggy atmosphere and venue crowd mostly on drugs
- someone smoking a joint in the verandah crowd one section stank of weed

- opened a chick with a 9/10 face but a butter body on a smoke break from the gig. She’d had a bit of coke, and pretty chatty
Could have possibly got her number but figured I’d see her later maybe. I left before gig was over, plus she was sizeable, so no .

- did continually notice that the cliques all had hot dudes present and the “cliquey” cold vibe around the groups.

- took a pic of the DJ he was cool.
- tried to sit next to a chick in a corner on one end who was talking to another high but attractive chick on a smoke break , corner chick must have sussed out my plan and quickly put her feet up on the chair between us and ****blocked me from getting close to talk. Meh

- my friend arrived finally around 10:30/10:45

- 2 hot bodied very b1tchy looking chicks were standing across 2 sets of tables from us , we scoped them out and watched a fat Indian PUA type guy open and talk to them.
I had been watching this guy moving around and opening a few sets during the evening, and getting nowhere . He was chubby short and very dark skinned. His smv would be low I judged.

I will continue with details about these 2 chicks and the possible approach of them.
I remember i would go out for a few beers and there was a big group of lads would ignore me - i hate cliques! Where as if i was ever out in a big group and i there was aguy in the bar alaone, i would have a bit craic with him. Some lads are up their own arses, vain as f***. Think they are better than other people. Like all these guys on Geordie shore and love island where everyone has to peacok and be the centre of attention.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

UPDATE.

Well boyos.
I have analysed the Chad approach to app texting and tweaked my chat sequence to match the Chad type text game on Hinge.

Ie
quick fluif talk -> early screening for level of interest -> check for what the chick is open to -> availability & logistics -> number close

Result? Instant improvement in efficiency :cool:

I have 2 date options tonite and hopefully a close in the making now. Plus another chick that is likely up for casual .

THATS A BINGO!

happy days :D :D :D

End of update.

Update.

So I’ve just been on a date and it’s 1:44am my time now.

it’s been a busy afternoon on the apps today, with a few options that were keen .

firstly I had a date set up with a blondie for 9:30pm..

BUT ..then in the later afternoon started getting texts from another better looking and fitter redhead chick. This app chat escalated and she hinted she may be possibly up for me coming straight to her place.

so I had the old players dilemma of which horse to put the bet on.

She then shortly later told me she’d been catfished lately . And had a scary situation with some dude locking her in his house. So was stalling…

The clock was ticking tho..
What to do?

I told her let’s do a FaceTime first . And at 7pm we did and it went well , she switched the Netflix and chill to meeting for a drink near her place in the city.
(****!)

but she was hotter so I agreed and afterwards texted blondie an excuse and rain checked .

Met the redhead .. she’s very sexy indeed and we had a 4.5 hour date and went to 2 bars. The second being an awesome speakeasy with a live band.

She’s a great dancer and super sexy B.

I had been escalating touch after an hour or so and then with the dancing.. and finally was getting very handsy dancing w her.

We had 2 rounds of some very strong ****tails.

Things progressing nicely,, until the last hour.. and when I made some bigger moves,,when she told me she has some issues with intimacy on the first date, she doesn’t do that and sex is not gonna happen tonite etc (****!!!!)

We made out a lot and I got my hands on her super firm gym toned body and ass in the bar and on the walk home.

We parted with a big pash.. but I’m annoyed I didn’t push it more on the goodbye, meh, I may have gotten up to the apartment, I did say something to that effect towards the end of our walk but she c*ckblocked me. So maybe not.

It was a funny switch of a night from a possible straight to the apartment situ for food and wine over to a to drinks date bar hopping and then at the end ‘I have intimacy issues’

chicks mang…:rolleyes:

she did mention she likes to do coke and had been powering her nose during the night on the bathroom breaks . And was a little wired and wide eyed at the nights end. so that would have been a bit of a thing also.

So I’m a bit pissed I did not get in tonight, but will see if she’s keen for a date 2 anyways. She’s worth working on.

she’s pretty fine this one.., not sure if I can afford her… but would like to get in there for sure x

END OF UPDATE

“On reflection I don’t think we will be romantic to be honest
You’re lovely but I didn’t feel the vibe Im after. Would still be keen to be friends if you are x”

Disregarding your opinion about looks, whether these women are good-looking or not, and your behaviour when you meet them for the first time, you do something right, and you seem to be able to get women off the apps with ease.

I hope I don’t jinx it. Good stuff!
