I apologize for taking a while to post on the blog. Things have been quite busy, but I wanted to let you in on something that has helped me when I’m out on the field. I’ve been keeping a journal with me, and it has helped me tremendously. When I first started using my journal, I would log every set that I opened.

Now, I just log all of the good sets and some facts about each girl I number closed. Trust me it will help! I open between 10-20 sets a day, and sometimes it’s hard to keep track of which girl you met on what day. There were times before when a girl would message me a week or two after meeting her then I would message her back and not know anything about her.

It’s much better to have the background info on her. I like to write down anything that interests me about her. For example, she lived in Italy for two years and speaks Italian. That would be great information to write down. When you meet her next time, you can bring it up. It also shows that you have a good memory.If you are in a foreign country, you can also write new words that you encounter when you are out in the field.

Also, I like to write down notes if she was doing anything when I met her. For example, if she was looking for a gift I would respond in the text message:

Me: Did you find a good gift for your friend? I bet you did…

How is that different from

Me: Hi, it was nice to meet you…

The first message relates to the situation and shows your target that you remembered something about her during the interaction. This message gives you more value and increases her chances of replying back to you.

Tips for the journal:

1. Make sure it’s pocket size- don’t buy a notebook size journal and carry it by hand all day!

2. Use it to your advantage- find certain things that may help you such as a good venue you came across or a systematic method of noting down your best sets of the day.

3. Reflect- after your done sarging for the day, write down something you can reflect on. Maybe you did something differently in set that could help you out next time. Bolo made a comment to me that I shouldn’t continue walking with girls after they walk away. I made sure to correct this and wrote it down in my journal as something to work on.

For the readers, do any of you use a journal in the field? What do you think are the advantages of using one?

We all know opening is just the beginning this video covers it… However, it’s still an important part of game that you need to know. I prefer to go indirect, but it depends on the situation. Savoy makes some interesting comments about different types of openers: functional-which he teaches, harder to transition, lowest risk/lowest reward, direct- high risk (AIA- decision made right away), indirect, opinion- AIA made later

These are just a few more will be covered later. Want to learn more openers? Check out the Love Systems Routines Manual.

**AIA- Am I Attracted decision made by the target

Two weeks ago, I had the party and I made the reservations in advance and managed things much better. Reserved the restaurant and a room at the bar we went too. Next thing, after the bar I should have planned what we were going to do next since some people split up…

Overall, it was a good time. So, next time you throw a social circle event plan it in advance. Trust me!

Take a look at our other social circle articles:

Want to add these type of girls to your social circle? You can!

First of all, I know I haven’t been posting on my progress of game lately. I recently have gone back to social circle… My reason was well I’m good at it and I like doing it… Don’t get me wrong I will be doing cold approach, however my primary focus now will be on getting my social circle much stronger…

Since going back, I have noticed how strong this method of game is.

#1- You are the one throwing the event, all eyes are on you… Talk about prizability here.

#2- Attraction triggers are automatically set. I love it because when I have my target and I want  to open another set in the social circle I can. Sets generally feel more attraction because you are around beautiful women.

#3- I’m having guys I know bring girls as well. So it’s not just me and a bunch of girls I know, I’m inviting out my wings and telling them to bring sets as well. This is working out for me because it enables new girls that are “gameable” and it increases my potential of meeting a good set. (Happened to me last night)

#4- It’s easy to create jealousy plotlines on girls you are targetting by simply talking to other girls in the social circle. This can create greater attraction for your target. More on this later, as I will be experimenting with jealousy plotlines in the coming months.

#5- It’s an engine. I think of social circle game as an engine. The reason is that this engine works by having  a constant supply of people. These people make it easier to open other sets around you. Not only that, but with these people you have your fair  share of women you can sarge.

These are just a few reasons why I have shifted back to social circle. Now, I will be posting some of my experiences with using this style of game and what is and isn’t working. Yes, you will here the GOOD and BAD as I chronicle my journey of running social circle I was looking around for products on social circle and sure enough lovesystems has a product. Check it out

Pay attention to class students!

Two types of game exist in a college atmosphere – both of which I feel are important to master: cold approach game and social circle game. Most PUA’s are fluent in methods and strategies of cold approach game – which essentially focuses on closing a new girl as soon as possible. The quicker you close, the quicker she will backwards-rationalize sleeping with you and essentially put the future direction of the relationship in your hands, so it is important to close as soon as possible. Many naturals are skilled at social circle game and are able to close “friends-of-friends” by unconsciously running basic attraction spikes/switches. With most of the local night clubs in college towns heavily populated with social circles, it is important to learn the skills to effectively gain access to these “tribes” for pre-selection purposes.

Cold approaching in college can be divided into two categories – day game and night game. Day game is extremely effective due to the non-threatening environment and opportunity to quickly isolate without dealing with obstacles or interrupts. The best venues for day game in a college atmosphere are campus, shopping malls, and book stores. On campus, the best time to sarge is in the late afternoon when classes are almost over near dorms and basic class buildings. I typically run situational openers that allow me to say something funny and spike BT right away. After that a bounce or #close comes easy.

In shopping malls, the best places to sarge are retail clothing stores and the food court. I typically bounce girls from there to a restaurant bar then my place for hookah and if kino has been effectively escalated throughout the process, the same day close comes easily. The best venues for night game are the most exclusive and expensive clubs because they typically have the hottest girls, the lowest noise levels, and are the least crowded – which essentially provides optimal logistics.

Great social circle game skills will not only give you instant social proof in large social circles such as sororities, but also save you thousands of dollars in cover charges, allowing you to go out more often and reach a higher level of success in a shorter period of time. Working my way up the social ladder and becoming a club promoter saves me an average of $15/night, 7 days/week, which saves over $400/month and allows me to open around 140 sets/week (at night) opposed to the practically affordable 40 sets/week.

Once both styles of college game have been optimized and calibrated effectively, you will be closing more beautiful women than you ever imagined.

Want to approach her? You can.

I haven’t been posting lately and this is because I have been going through a transformation since my bootcamp. I’ve been out constantly sarging and bettering my game…

An interesting thing happened this week. You know when I started pick up I ran social circle and alot of nightgame… I have run day game some of the time, but this week I went through a realization.

I ran a street pickup and bounced the hb to a coffee shop. I was able to close her on the Day 3 it could have been a Day 2 close, but there were time constraints. The sarge was done entirely during the day. From opening to closing it was run during the day.

Now, I am more determined than ever to improve my day game. Street game probably has the lowest probably of the different types of day game. However, I find street game the most exciting

There’s so many things going on with my game right now but the main focus on this post is day game.

Day Game Tips:

1. High traffic areas- make sure to hit up high traffic areas since this has the most amount of people and potential sets to open

2. Street Game- although street game is an area I am improving I have noticed if you move the sarge quickly (kinoing early, locking in, bouncing) you can have a higher rate of success

3. Bookstores- bookstores are a great place to game during the day. One thing I have done lately is take hb’s to the travel section of the bookstore and pick out the place they would most like to travel to. From there, we sit down and look through the pictures in the book (good for kino). Also, you can bounce around other areas of the bookstore.

4. Coffee shops- these are good as well. Make sure not to talk to the hb’s from a standing position for a long time.

**Know your bounce locations during the day. You never know when you will have a set that will go well. Then, if you don’t know your bounce locations, you will be walking around looking. This is not good trust me I have been there.

Don’t be afraid to kino during the day either. Kino’ing was one of my weaker areas after my bootcamp, but I have gotten my kino calibration tighter now. Kino works well after your bt spikes…

A few tips for day game. Keep on Sarging!

By the way, the new David Guetta cd is hott!

If a girl gives you a “maybe”-type response to a date invitation or says “I’ll let you know”, this is a test from her that is very easy to fail because it’s easy for you to fall into a low-value situation where you’re waiting around with your schedule open for her. On the other hand, if you press her too hard to commit to plans, then you’re chasing her… which is also low-value.

(By the way, my good friend Soul and I have an audio interview on Handling Tests.)

So what I typically do in response to a “maybe” response is that I typically give her a deadline (in a playful way) of when she must respond to my invite by. For example:

“I’ll hold your spot for tomorrow night’s plans until 9pm tonight… after that, my offer either self-destructs or gets offered to somebody else.  :)”

That last part — about offering the plans to somebody else — is the scariest part to type out in a text or say over the phone, but it works wonders for a variety of reasons. It triggers the attraction switch of preselection by other women, it shows that you have other options out there, it shows that you’re not afraid to talk about those other options, and it can help trigger jealousy in her as well.
(Pre-selection is one of the few attraction switches. All of them can be found in the book Magic Bullets)

Then, as it gets closer to your deadline time, you can send her a text message along the lines of:

“Going once… going twice…”

And then, if you don’t hear back from her:

“Sold! To another bidder! We’ll try again some other time for plans.”

If she says something like “Okay! Yes! Call me tomorrow to confirm”, that “calling to confirm” part is just another way of saying maybe. At that point, you need to simply call her out on it and say: “So do we have plans or not? Should I reserve time for you? Because I can make other plans.” (Credit Savoy for this.)

Now, on the day of the date, she may flake on you just a few hours before the event. If she does that, your WORST possible reaction would be to get upset. That just shows her how much of an emotional investment you’ve made into her, and if she hasn’t put the same emotional investment into you yet, then it will tremendously lower your value and she probably won’t want to see you again.

My favorite response to a last-minute flake is: “I will wait to see how you make it up to me before I pass judgment.”

Savoy’s favorite response to a last-minute flake is: “Oh, it’s no problem. I can take someone else.”

If she continually shows low compliance by not responding to date offers or says “no” too many times in a row, then I usually call up and say (in a HIGH-ENERGY PLAYFUL tone, NOT a serious or reprimanding tone!):

“Samantha, you are such a DORK!! Do you know why you are such a dork?? Because I have called you SEVERAL TIMES over the last few weeks to make plans and you haven’t called me back (or haven’t been available). So this is your LAST CHANCE, your FINAL OPPORTUNITY to make plans with me. After this, there will be no more opportunities! All future opportunities disintegrate into thin air! So if you can stop being a dork for just a minute, call me back. Bye.”

You can even expand this into a playful list of 3 reasons why she is such a dork — and include some callback humor that will remind her of why she originally liked you enough to give you her phone number. Something like:

“Samantha, you are the BIGGEST DORK for 3 reasons! One, because you’re the only person in Los Angeles who eats sushi with white wine. Two, because you still listen to pop music even though I’ve told you to get rid of all those pop songs and switch to R&B instead. And three, because I have called you a HUNDRED TIMES to make plans and you haven’t called me back. So this is your LAST CHANCE… (then continue with above).”

And speaking of calling vs. text messaging, I think that the best way to accelerate getting girls to say YES to dates is to switch to PHONE CALLING instead of TEXTING. Texting is so low compliance, and the more you text a girl back-and-forth, the more she just sees you as words on a screen, and forgets all about your personality and why she gave you her number in the first place. Texting builds very little comfort or rapport. In fact, I urge all guys to try to start making PHONE CALLS more often than text messages… you will notice dramatic improvements in the responses you get from women. Yes, it’s more risky, but as I always say: with big risk comes big rewards.

Another thing to think about in regards to text messages, girls LOVE collecting text messages from guys, just like they love to collect friends on Facebook. It’s an ego boost for them — it validates that they are sexy & that they have tons of options — and they love getting text messages from all sorts of “orbiters” while they’re out fucking other guys. They love to giggle with their girlfriends about all these guys that are texting them and they fully admit to their girlfriends which ones they’re never going to sleep with. So the sooner you stop texting her, the sooner you can stop validating her for NOT seeing you in person. You can still text once in a while, but you need to use the phone to keep the emotional momentum going.

Switch to the phone, and things will get much easier. Switching to the phone will also help you realize sooner if a girl isn’t into you and it’s not going to go anywhere. Text messages can go on for MONTHS & MONTHS before you realize that it’s not going anywhere.

As Soul says, “The relationship does not begin until sex.”

A few other pointers:

- Always refer to your dates as “dates”. Be as clear as possible with your intentions, so she knows EXACTLY why you’re asking her out. Using the word “date” will force the girl to tell you “let’s just be friends” if she feels that way. Saves you time for those girls who aren’t interested.

- Always be willing to walk away from any girl that isn’t living up to your expectations. Think about how you’d treat your friends that weren’t living up to your expectations — you probably wouldn’t yell at them, but you would call them out in a playful way on their bad behavior.

You got the number! But don't blow your load yet, you still got work to do.

I go in to the bar, greet my friends, and start scoping around for the sets I want to open. Then there she is: wearing the tight pink shirt revealing her curves and generous cleavage. I smile and approach as she gazes over me like some cosmic energy is calling her and directing her attention my way.

Open then qualify and build comfort. My game is tight and shit is going well!

But you just get a random call that your dog is on fire or some other bullshit while you’re thinking: WHY NOW?! Suddenly you have to close fast. Such is life: so full of mysteries and bad timings. Time bridge and number close, this shit is going down! But not tonight. Damn.

This brings us to the point of this post. When do I call her again?

Well… the myth states that you call her about 2 or more days upon your initial meet so you don’t convey too much interest, like some stalker pervert. But forget that. Throw that belief out the window and throw yourself out that window as well if you can’t bring yourself to call her.

The first thing you should do is text her as you leave your venue. Comment on something you noticed about her. Something like this:

“Hey I noticed your shoes and it looks very nice on you. Great fashion sense! I’ll see you Saturday.”

Another thing to try is to take her phone and you give her your phone. After you punch in your number on her phone for the number close you make the call. Get her to pick-up the call on your phone and toss in some witty comment. You smile then when she smiles back at you, you win. This scenario gets her comfortable talking on the phone with you.

I have personally found that women do not receive negative vibes when I break the 2 days rule. In fact, I get the opposite reaction. Women are more keen to show up day 2s than they are to flake. There are instances where the women initiate the conversations on day 2s about the warm and fuzzy feeling they had when I noticed minor details upon the initial meet. I have also experienced immediate responses back where the conversation continues throughout my whole day via texts.

Don’t be shy about talking to her earlier than the 2 days garbage rule. If any longer she might forget your sorry ass.

8 hours? Try 30 minutes.

Lately, in the community there has been more of an interest in SNL Game. Here’s the misconception. Many guys believe there is a 7 hr rule that you must follow to getting the close. Take that and throw it down the drain. There’s guys closing in less than 4 hours and my SNL’S usually average about 4-5 hours with my last one being in 2 hours. Well, Latinstylez what are the keys to SNL Game?

1. Logistics

Yup, this is where most guys fail. A friend of mine by the name of RedpoleQ always stresses logistics. If you have a solid game plan, of where you will take the girl from point A-Z, then you will be that much better off when you are running game. Combine that with being comfortable in the venues and also knowing the people there. Guess what that creates? It creates a person who is comfortable within himself in the areas he goes to and it shows by the way you act and also by the way you talk to other people in the venue.

Tip: Start looking around your area for some good venues to bounce your girls to. Think of at least 3-4 venues that you can rotate between.

2. Use plausible deniability to bring her back to your place

Plausible deniability is created when she doesn’t feel responsible. Again, my buddy RedpoleQ and BlueM stress this in their teaching. I have used this technique and have been able to escalate at a quicker pace and also deal with less LMR when I pull her back. A good example would be to tell her about vacation photos that you want to show her or some funny you tube videos. What this does is it doesn’t make her responsible. Remember the man is responsible!

3. Escalate

Escalating is where most guys fuck up on. You have a guy who is clearly interested in the girl he is sarging but when it comes to kinoing her he freezes out. Afraid to touch her the guy goes into a state and loses out on the girl he is interested in.This is one of the most important parts of SNL game because physical touch is very important in the HB feeling comfortable with you. Without touch, there is nothing!

Escalation tips:

Start small. This can be your hand on her shoulder or lightly touching  her arm and progressing. RedpoleQ teaches a bootcamp where he goes over this with guys. Remember to continue progressing!

4. Sexualize

Well what is sexualizing, Latin?  Here are some quick sexualization tips. Make sure to run Questions Game later on in the sarge. This is typically done at the seduction location or prior to the seduction location.

You want to make sure to find out how sexual she is…

Start by asking questions on how many people she has kissed and slowly progressing from there. The key here is to progress with each question.

Strawberry Fields is another great way to sexualize typically in the bounce location before the seduction location or you can roll it out in the seduction location. Sexualizing takes practice; I am still working on getting it tighter.

5. Pull the trigger

She’s laying there in the bed looking at you all sexual. You look down and decide that you “feel” right now is not the time after you have progressed this far in the SAME DAY! We’ve been there. This is the main reason I am writing this post. Well, don’t just sit there looking  at her pull the f…. trigger… Go on that bed and play with her hair and give her a kiss.

I’m sick of hearing crap about all these games in the community. Just go in for the k close and escalate. Pulling the trigger means going after what you want. Do you want that girl? Then pull the trigger!

SNL Game:

Just a few tips from someone who has experience in SNL Game. Most of the time I don’t even go for the SNL’s they just happen. They happen because of some of the steps I have listed above. There is much more to expand on this topic and we are working on ways to make our game harder, better, faster, and stronger. Most commonly in SNL Game, faster!

Latin

We head to the venue of the night… I arrive with some wings from the Lair… Tonight I was working on coaching my other wing in set and also my transitioning/qualification game…
Set 1

I got blown out. I opened two HB8′s with the Drunk I love You’s Opener, but I missed my false time constraint! They told me we gotta go before I even got into my opener! Ouch… Ying and Yang energy I must remain non reactive…

Set 2

Opened a 3 set with a default opener.. This time I threw in the FTC and transitioned with “Lemme guess your the good girl and your the bad girl…” Bad girl referring to my target… Then, I tell them “You can be my devil (target) and you can be my angel (obstacle)… (Love Systems Transition)Then, we can walk hand in hand…

I ended up isolating my target away from the friends for a bit… She didn’t really meet what I was looking for in qualification so I ejected the set…

Highlighted Sets

HB Pot Girl
Opened with the bar opener… “When a guy and a girl are at the bar at the same time, who should get waited on first the guy or the girl??” She starts talking… From there, she invites me to go to a party on Sunday with her friend… She talked about how she’s a pot girl hmm… lol…

My wing came in DHV’ed him he DHV’ed me then left…. Moved her over to the other side of the VIP area. Cold read, Qualify… Timebridge/number close… Said our good bye’s….

HB Venezuelan Girl

Saw this HB who I had known before from Social Circle… Started talking to her then did a bounce over to the VIP area… Went into A3 with qualification about where she has traveled then I started speaking to her in Spanish… She knew a lil, but I teased her a bit for not being able to keep up

From there, did a lil bit of kino then number closed future timebridge…

Debrief…

Ran some more sets none were worth mentioning, but debriefed with new Lair members at the end of the night…

Pool Game

We head to a big pool party in town… Pools are fun because they are a GREAT place to game (Hot Girls) plus the girls are in bikinis haha!!

I open a two set sitting down…
ME: “Hey ur tattoo looks pretty interesting! R u into music??” (She had a music design on the tat)
Her: Yeah…
Me: Transitioned about how they knew each other bad girl/good girl routine…

We had a cooler full of beers and I asked if they could watch it while we went around the pool area…. I made sure to talk to all the people I knew there including my friend who was Dj’ing the pool party…

Highlighted Sets

HB Flower Tattoo

Opened this HB with a flower tattoo who knew my friend… She was pretty interesting mainly for her artistic approach she was an interior designer who wanted to set up hotels for dogs… Her fav dog was a some kind of hunting dog with green eyes… Nonetheless, interesting set and we ended up talking for some time… Made sure to throw in my DHV spikes and kino some also ran the rings routine for more kino buildup…

Timebridged her for later tnite…

HB Towel Girl…

I sat down on a chair and this girl had a towel with her name on it…

ME: “Oh did you go to a special place to get your name imprinted on your towel?”
Her: “Yes, actually my Aunt has a shop in LA and she does it…”

We ended up talking about LA and I told her how I have some friends out there… Did some cold reads on her and then got distracted by my other friends and she had to go… Good set, though her bf was right next to us lol!

Thoughts

Pool game is lots of fun… Didn’t realize how many girls had tats!!! Easy to open during the day and most the sets were hooking…

In Club game, don’t forget to utilize your areas! For example, VIP sections to bring your targets too… It also helps knowing ppl in the venues…

So long…
