Within the Seduction Community we use two main avenues of picking up women cold approach. We call them “Nightgame” and “Daygame”. Both of these have clearly defined dynamics and while the general idea is the same, in many respects they are totally different from each other. Many guys will find themselves being good at one and not the other. Personally I do both, though my strength is and will always be Daygame because it suites my natural personality. Now what are the differences between these two? And which one suites you?

Nightgame seems to be the proffered option by most guys new to Pickup. It applies mainly to bars and nightclubs though meeting women at parties or on busy streets at night fall under the same category. In many ways, Nightgame is the flash. For many men, being the nightclub player with beautiful women hanging off of him in every direction is a dream and the reason they want to learn Game in the first place. Anyway, lets break it down a little.

Bars and clubs tend to consist of loud music, drunk people, horny men and DTF women. These are obviously highly social environments with a lot of obstacles and people’s attention spans are lower than usual due to there being so much stimuli in the area (plus they may be drinking). This creates a hard environment for more timid, introverted type guys however the louder extroverted guys tend to flourish in these areas.

Success in Nightgame is bread more from having ‘high energy’ and being ‘entertaining’ than Daygame. Good Nightgame practises generally consist of strong banter, teasing, role-playing, making women laugh, group conversation and strong sexual escalation skills. Your most common obstacles here are her friends and other guys. Winning over her friends is a big part of picking up a women in nightclubs. Women are rarely ever alone in these places and they tend to stick together and look after each other very strongly. This is where good close wings that you know well can be a great asset.

Overall Nightgame is upbeat, loud, energetic and more strategic than Daygame. To sum it up in one word I’d have to say it’s “fun”. The advantages are that women tend to be a lot more willing to go home with a guy that they just met in a club than they’re on the street however competition and obstacles are abundant in these environments. Guys who enjoy group conversation hold an advantage here when it comes to winning over her friends, it’s hard for a girl to say no when all of her friends are pushing her to say yes. While the Introverts may struggle, Extroverts tend to flourish in these environments.

Daygame generally applies to picking up women anywhere during daytime hours. Parks, bus stops, shopping centres, trains, in line at the post office and just about anywhere you can think of. It’s a lot more relaxed than Nightgame and holds a far more ‘romantic’ kind of feel about it. It’s more socially acceptable for a woman to tell her friends about “the nice guy from the park” than it is to tell them about “the drunk guy from the club”. Despite these advantages though I see a lot of newer guys struggle here mainly I think because it’s a less common social practice to talk to strangers in the street. However many more experienced PUAs do find this an easier way of picking up women.

Daygame tends to revolve around deeper one on one conversations. Women rarely get approached during the day so a good smooth approach tends to get you a lot further than it does at night. The restrictions of Daygame of course revolve around sexual escalation, getting laid at night is more common than making out during the day when it comes to cold approach. However that being said things like going for coffee can be done straight away rather than after several text messages or phone calls and you can always follow-up for a second date at a bar for a few drinks and see where the night takes you .

The only real disadvantage of Daygame is that sometimes people aren’t just hanging around during the day. They’re might be doing things or they’re on a mission. Either on a lunch break, shopping or going to meet a friend etc so a lot of the time you’ll find that you can’t hold them up for too long. Because of above reasons however quick interactions tend to hold more value during the day than they do at night.

This is where the more introverted guys tend to find their strength. Their love for one on one conversations, and exploring the depth of topics gives them the advantage during the day though they still need to manage their weaknesses at night. Extroverts tend to struggle in this area as they’re naturally feel more comfortable around large groups of people. As I always say though, don’t be restricted. Work to your strengths, but manage your weaknesses.

I like a lot about what you said but I disagree that extroverts do bad in day game. I do fine in day game, I think it merely takes a good education and some confidence on either subject and you get good at it. Introverts can do good at night game as well, but they have to be more direct and again have confidence and a solid education on it.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying.

Extroverts will tend to have more trouble when it comes to learning Daygame because low energy one on one conversations are not a 'natural' strength of theirs, visa versa for introverts. That doesn't mean that either cant learn to be good at either one.

This also applies to all phases of game. You only need to watch the difference in the way that they talk to people to see what I'm saying. I have a highly extroverted friend who talks to a groups of women telling jokes and stories for hours and gets them jumping all over him. I on the other hand (reasonably introverted) open, meet everyone, narrow down on the girl I want and talk one on one with her.

Sure I could learn to be more like him. But it's not a strength of mine as an introvert.

My bad. Yeah just two different techniques. I think extroverts in general have a better time day or night game. The reason is simple, extroverts live for human interaction more often. Courtship is just another form of interaction. Introverts may have a lot more difficult of a time at a club but at a social bar introverts could do just fine. Certainly one on one is far better for introverts.

Extroverts strive in all interactions one on one or otherwise. I do fine in one on one. It's also important to realise there are different types of extroverts. There are people that are the life of the party and there are people who merely need other people around, both are extroverts just different types.

Hmm not really man. First of all there are not different types of Introverts and Extroverts only varying degrees. We are all a balance of both ie: 80%-Extrovert 20%-Introvert etc. The more a person leans towards extroversion the more emotional highs and lows they experience. It's not so much people as it is emotion that the extrovert craves. Extroverts need stimulation and excitement. Introverts have get less of an emotional pay-off when it comes to taking risks hence they generally don't push boundaries as much and are generally less confident because of it. That being said an introvert with equal confidence isn't going to find game any easier or harder only different as they naturally want different things and are therefore good at different things. Introverts are still social creatures none the less.
