Hi guys!
I'm oskino from Sweden - happy to introduce myself.

Who I am and what I've been studying and learning this far
I'm not completely new to the world of pick up. I've actually made some progress with a few girls already, where one interaction lead to sex. Mostly I've been messing around with openers, a few negs and working on interesting interactions and get people interested in talking to me but I see some points to work on.

Here are some things I've done to get some knowledge
* Read "The Game"... Twice!
* Read a Swedish pick up book called "Everyone get laid"
* Seen both seasons of the TV series "The Pickup Artist"
* Watched alot of Gamblers material like "Stealth Attraction"
* Wathced clips on YouTube, mostly with kino escalation as I lack experience on this point
* Read some PUA blog posts e.g. by Gambler
* Watched the lecture with Randy Pausch called "Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" from the PUA Videos-thread
* Beyond that I've read and watched more stuff all over the Internet

I will keep reading posts here and follow peoples progress aswell as watching more clips and talkt to people as I'm improving.


10 things i hope to achieve or develop after some time here on the forum

1. Forget lenght issues when going into sets (I'm quite short)
2. Work on my kino skills
3. Get more comfortable with negs
4. Find smooth ways and the right moments to implement DHV
5. Freeze the target and talkt to the obstacle, then switch
6. Get better on keeping the "sexy touch" in conversations
7. Sense the right moment to move a set
8. Pay more attention to the IOI's I get and not being too busy talking/thinking of subjects
9. Get more friends in the world of PUA
10. Develop my body language and energy level while seducing

Later on I hope to be able to pick up any single girl (like HB10s) in any kind of set, but that's a long term objective!


Top 3 favourite openers I'm using

* The three fun facts introduction
"Hi I'm (name)! I like to (fact #1). I also have a special interest in (fact #2) and I wanna become a (fact #3) when i grow up. Now it's your turn to introduce yourself, it's a polite thing to do!
This should be said with a smile on your face and tongue in cheek nad the fun facts should be quite odd, all to induce laughter and to dissolve any tension that may exist in the first approach.
Since this opener is kind of a introduction, a handshake comes naturally and kino aswell.

* The handshake
"I'd like your opinion on something. How do you prefer someones handshake? Do you like 'em rough and firm or rather loose and discrete?"
After her answer you are free to take her hand to give examples of different handshakes and tell stories about crazy handshakes you've experienced, so the subject will come naturally. You can show her some funny and special handshakes, claps, high-fives and so on to. This is also where introduction and kino comes very naturally. You are playing around with her hand and it's okay because your only giving examples which she has accepted by answering your question.

* The liar
"I need a woman's opionion on something. My friend and I can't agree over this very important thing and you're opinion could definately save lives. Who do you think is lying most often? Women or men?"
She will answer and then asking for your opinion. I moslty go with something like "I think women, because men are more straight with each other and women sometimes lie to themselves..."
There you got the first subject for free!

Bye and thanks for now! - oskino

Take your time and things will sink in. Just have fun in the process
