"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.

It doesn't matter how many guys bring girls, what matters is whether one guy (you) brings a girl home. Don't worry about the other guys unless your game is so tight you don't have to worry about yourself.

Eastern Time Zone where it's always really late
Most of the couples you see leaving the bar are probably bf/gf that arrived together. Others are social circle hookups where they either already knew each other or were introduced by a friend. However, if you get there early and observe the entire night, you will see a small percentage of total strangers that met that night that are leaving together.

I would guess about 1 to 10 percent are same night lays of people that have never met before. I'm just referring to your average bar or club. Certain nightlife hotspots could be much higher. However, generally, that 80/20 or 90/10 rule really does apply here, roughly speaking.

Of course, this is only one night stands. There are a LOT of number closes that happen too. Most number closes from bars and clubs turn out to be flakes, but there are some couples that meet one night and really WANT to hook up that night, but the logistics are not favorable. She doesn't want to look like a sl*t in front of her gfs, so she exchanges numbers with a dude and maybe fawks him discretely on a Day 2. Or he might "booty text" her after her gfs drop her off at home.

A very small percentage. Same night pulls happen either as a result of phenomenally tight game, or out of a girl's need for validation. Most people enter and leave clubs with their social circle. Most hookups come from their social circle, as well; I'm a big proponent of cold approaching to expand one's circle, instead of going for the quick close.

If you want to increase your chances, go out alone and get used to opening random sets. Usually, your friends will hold you back unless they are REALLY good with women, and having more people around makes it more difficult to extract and isolate. Also, the logistics of driving, etc. can make same night pulls difficult.

Also, going to multiple venues in a night to look for girls is a very bad strategy. Pick one place and arrive early, then stay there for a few hours. This way, you will hopefully build some social proof and be in a good position to attract newcomers later in the night. The guys with the LOWEST social value are the guys that roll in at 2 am with no girls; their desperation is apparent to all.
 

"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.

a girl can go out to a bar or a club, and if she really wants to, she can go home with a guy, a guy can go out to a number of bars or clubs, and there is no guarantee he will leave with a girl

If they know the girl beforehand, it is higher, if they don't know the girl before hand, maybe like .05% (guessing).

I mean, I've known guys to bring a girl home, but even after that, the girls usually still bolt in the morning, and don't respond.

So if you think that a lot of guys are bringing girls home at a club or bar, they aren't.

To the playas on this board with high lay counts:

1) What's the key to racking up lays?

I'm thinking it's just to go out a lot, approach a lot, alcohol, and tight game. Given you hit the bars every weekend, and assuming you pull 1 out of every 4 nights you go out, that's about 10 lays/year. At this rate one can easily rack up 40 lays by age 25. Are my numbers accurate?

2) How do you identify which girls are down-to-fvck, and which ones are a waste of time? It's a numbers game but time is finite. How do you weed out the attention who-res, the prudes, the ones there to "just dance" etc. Much of the game is identifying the right girl at the right time in the right emotional state. After years of hitting the bars, I'm sure some of you with high lay counts have honed your DTF radar. What are the signs?

The path to increase your notch count is just going out a lot and approaching a lot of girls. But the key is to up your hit-miss ratio.

People bring girls home more than you'd think.

1. Same thing you said basically. Go out 2+ nights a week, approach and escalate with 10+ girls a night. If you're new, it'll take a few months to start seeing results. Otherwise you can pull anywhere from once a month to every night you're out.

2. This is going to sound obvious, but you just escalate fast and see what happens. Girls who are DTF will fvck you. Girls who aren't will leave.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Good call, finding the DTF ones is actually the difficult part here. I won't claim to have that down.

At the right venue, i can get my "hook up" count to close to 90%. When I say right venue, I mean a ratio close to half and half...not an awful venue or an odd night where nothing much is going on. Of those, one can get most of those phone #s for later , but those seldom pan out. Of the "hook ups" its a fairly small %, less than 10% i'd say for DTF.

Basically long story short is this; it can look like some dudes are going home w/ their chick, but odds are they are probably either there with them or in the 90% I described as "hook ups". I would say only a small handful get random lays, guys who have solid game and know how to find those DTF without wasting hours on a non-DTF types.
