So there’s been a lot of talk on various forums recently about approach machine daygamers and throwaway sets and the like.
I’ve been one of these guys – immune to rejection and therefore going Mode One from the outset to enable me to cut down on the bullshit time. It certainly got results, but it meant that I was losing a lot of sets that I would have ideally like to have closed in some way.
Because of the threads I have rethought my strategies and had to ‘re-learn’ my old ways to hook. They’ve been working really well, and as it has helped my results a lot I’ve decided to release some of my favourite techniques to hook sets.
Nobody here needs to learn how to open a set (hopefully!) so let’s assume that this has been done... You’ve attempted to guess where the accent is from too. I would always advise to get this wrong if I’m honest – I’m not sure why but it just seems to work better? They will usually then open up a little and tell you where they are from; below is a list of hook points for a few places
The majority of Eastern Europe
They often speak Russian, or a derivative of it, so this works really well with them. Always make the statement that “you have a similar language to Russia, right?”. If they answer negatively then ask if the know Russian – a lot tend to speak Russian or bits of it. If they answer in the affirmative then explain that you know just one word in Russian, but that it’s extremely rude. This obviously spikes their interest a little so then have a nervous giggle, because it seems to help to ground the next statement a little.
Pizda.
Wait for their reaction.
If they walk then let them. This is an extremely rude way of saying cunt in Russian and other similar languages. The majority will stay but the ones who walk aren’t the ones who will be closable anyway. There is no English equivalent translation as the word is not even said to friends in jest.
I would always go on to ground this by explaining that I learnt it from a Russian doorman in Latvia and let them know how he told me it meant ‘Hello’ and explain how I was going round saying ‘Pizda’ to everyone and getting really odd reactions. True story.
Latvia
Again, you can explain that you only know one word, but there is a specific one to use first.
Schkysta
It means beautiful, and goes down really well. You can always then correct yourself and explain that “actually, I know two...” and go in to the Pizda one, too.
German
Ask if they’ve ever been to Oktoberfest, because you’ve always wanted to go.
A good explanation is to then explain how you’ve never understood why Oktoberfest is held in September.
Spanish
Ask if they’ve ever visited Alhambra.
Like any other nation on earth, the Spanish are also extremely proud of their heritage. Play to this and tell them that it’s supposed to be the most beautiful thing on earth and you’d love to go. This works especially well if they are from Grenada, which a disproportionate amount of Spanish women in the UK seem to be
Finnish
These guys have more saunas in their country than households.
Ask them if what you read is true, and have them instantly start telling you the history of their country which they are fiercely proud of.
Norwegian/Finnish
They are supposedly the world’s most intelligent race.
Because I am not either of these nationalities I can never remember which are supposedly the intellectually more superior. I think it’s the Norwegian but meh! Basically they both stay at home until they are six and they learn how to read their language and speak ours before they even get to school. How do they do this, you ask? Well, they watch American cartoons that are subtitled in their native tongue. I’m not even kidding!
Swedish
Ask them to do their dance!!
The Swedes have a dance that is performed once a year. They take a giant phallic object (to represent a penis) and all dance around it. They wave their hands on their ears and above their bums and sing about how the frogs have no ears and the frogs have no tails. This is supposedly an ancient ritual to fertilise the ground.
I have before posted a great sexual framing thing for the Italians too -

Italian
Talk about Reggio Calabria, which is a city just opposite Sicily on the Straight of Messina.
I actually have a friend from here and she’s smoking hot. She told me about the Fata Morgana which are mirages at sea, supposedly better than any desert. Only the Italians tend to know about these. If they don’t know about them then you can give them a little stick for coming to London when they have one of the world’s most natural phenomenons in their own country and they havent seen it.
Korean
My step brother is seeing a Korean girl named Hei Kwon. She came to visit us at Christmas time and brought some pickled/fermented cabbage dish that was ‘quite mild’ and it blew my head of – these peeps are fire eaters! Anyway...
What the Koreans have done for their education system in the last 30ish years is incredible. They have completely transformed it and they are immensely proud of this turnaround, so talk to them about it. Also, feeding someones ego never hurts; these guys ARE going to be the worlds next superpower so tell them that!
Oh my! How did I foget these... probably my personal favourites;
Persian/Iranian
“so let me guess, you’re a ‘Sureya’? I honestly think its the most beautiful name in the world! My best friend is half Iranian, so I know a little about your culture. He told me that its such a popular name because it was the name of a princess, right?”
Japanese
Ive always found it fascinating how pretty much their whole culture can be summed up in one word
SeppukuDeath before dishonour. Its about honour and the consequences of not being honourable, they are one of the most moraled people on the planet in some respects and I give them genuine praise based on this.
Brazilian
I always talk about my passion for BJJ and the whole Lutre Livre scene too. Vale Tudo etc...
I also talk about my uncles company which buys tracts of land at the edge of the rainforest and re-plants indigenous species there so that big companies can offset their carbon footprint (which to me seems like a massive cop out/con btw)
You must also ask them about Rio carnival and how you’d love to go. If they have never been then you’ve gotta MAJORLY bust their balls because they’re halfway across the world and haven’t even bothered to see the most amazing human spectacle on earth. IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY!!!
The above all enhance your reputation with the girl and they all hook. Hard. Slate them if you’d like, I couldn’t give a monkeys, but do try them out before slating them. Combine this with Sasha’s guide (
