I've never posted a technique thread before or even written an article about it. I just recently got back into the game and have been going out regularly with friends. I feel like I am just starting to "get it". My game is by no means perfect and I still have a few holes (closing is where I am stuck now, this is what I lost the most after being in an LTR for too damn long. Luckily I know where the issue is and I'm working on it).

Anyway this thread is about a new technique (more a behaviour) I've started doing naturally when I'm at a bar/club/pub. Apologies if I'm not the first but I did come up with it independently. It works best in a venue that is good for talking. So whilst there may be a dance floor it's not the primary form of entertainment (I hate dance clubs for the most part anyway, unless I'm on something hehe).

What I do is I just start the night with my friends or whatever, I'm enjoying myself, we are having a good time, I'm smiling (I think a confident smile is super important, but this thread isnt bout body language which is the number one thing new pua's should focus on). If I see a girl I want to talk to I walk over confidently, with a smile and say hello. I have a conversation, make them laugh, ask them question tease them if the opportunity arises, etc. I might find out what their plans are for the night, might not whatever it doesnt matter, if they are "leaving soon" I decide to get their number or whatever. Regardless, after a bit of chatting, unless its going really well (or even if it is), I make an excuse and leave the set. But I'll do it by telling them they seem really cool and are quite cute and that I might see them later in the night. If I get distracted by something (a friend, another girl, whatever) I let that take my attention from the girls.

The reason I leave and don't try to close is simple. I want them to see me as the prize, that I don't need them and that I'm just out for a good time. I'm not out purely to pick up girls as most guys are. When I can I always make a point to be very friendly opening and when leaving and, as mentioned, if possible I give them a small ioi.

Anyway, over the night, whenever I get the chance I repeat what I did above, in one way or another, with every group I can. I will even talk to guys and make friends. Some girls I will stay with for 30 seconds, others for a few minutes.

Over the night you become the guy that everyone likes. You are the friendly guy, that fun dude that likes talking to people. I always smile when I first approach, then smile as I leave. I might go out onto the dance floor and pat a guy on the back or high five some girl or whatever.

Soon you will see groups of girls you spoke to earlier, they will have noticed that you are talking to everyone, that people are reacting well to you and that you are enjoying yourself. You will find that when you approach then again they will be happy to see you. You can walk up to them, kino a bit, take your picture with them (girls love this and the pictures are great DHV's for girls you may have on your Facebook), give them hugs and kiss their cheeks and things. Then walk away again, or stay if you want if you like one (actually I think part of my current closing problem is that I bounce between too many groups and don't pick a girl that I want).

Anyway, from here you can pick and choose. If you have done it well, there should be plenty of opportunity to pick out a girl. You can approach more groups if you like whatever, it doesn't matter.

Last Saturday I had a girl drag me off the dance floor and to kiss me, I literally only smiled and said "hi I'm Matty!" Stupidly I reciprocated and the 9 I was tuning earlier giving me great IOI's saw me hah... Bloody drinking, lol.

I've really only just started doing this so I'm still ironing out the cracks (used to do something similar with decent results but not quite the same), but I'm getting all the right signs and I can feel that soon I will be pulling 8+'s regularly. I just need to practice some more.

Please let me know what your thoughts are guys, ask any questions, feedback welcome, stories of similar ideas. I'm always willing to learn more!!!

Hey man, I think this line right here is one of the most important principles. Though like you said, you are probably bouncing around between groups, having TOO MUCH fun to actually tune up a particular girl. That siad, when I go out 'sarging', I have a terrible night, all my interruptions are awkward and end up going terribly. It's clear to people, namely girls but also to myself, that I have an ulterior motive in talking to them, and it's fucks me up. It make me dependent on the outcome. When I go out with friends to fuck around and do dumb shit just to entertain myself, it's a lot easier to get girls involved. I'm having fun, my friends are having fun,so why the hell wouldn't girls wanna get in on it??

My only problem is having the high energy state. How do you manage to sustain that? I personally find I can't be fucked to run around making friends with everyone in a place. I like to chill with my mates, with the emphasis on chill. I'm not sure if I need to, or how I can change this.

Yeah totally hearing you man, you hit the nail on the head with me bouncing around. I will often think to myself "should I go hit on this girl now? She's hot and she likes me. Hey I met this dude before!" And I'll pat him on the back or say g'day then ill see another girl I met before or open a new set. That or there will be two girls and I think "they both seem interested, are both cute, which do I go for? Meh ill just keep enjoying myself, paaartyyy!!!"

With your issue with energy, I'm a pretty outgoing guy already, but when i first started reading about pua and trying it out I was a bit of an approach machine (was terrible at first haha). I find that once I've approached the first (or second) group these days (I still get AA before them which sux but manageable) I just naturally start to open every girl I see.

As in I'll go get a drink and open any on the way, ditto for the bathroom walking to the dance floor, wherever. It just happens. Not every night is the same and sometimes I have the CBF nights too, I'll usually just sit down next to a set and chat for a while and be friendly, rather than bounce around between groups all night.

I think part of the journey is figuring out what works for you and what doesn't.

I should also add, whilst I go out primarily to have fun. I find just flirting and talking to girls a shitload of fun. For me the interaction is almost more fun than the result, the result to me is simply a bonus (and validation).

I think too many guys care too much about the result of any particular interaction. If you are a cool guy, that people enjoy hanging around (we like people who like us), if you are friendly, smile at everyone but walk confidently with your shoulders back and head up, you will get laid. Why? Because you just will.
