So Cinn made a bit of a flub today.

Not total failure as I managed to open a one-set which became a two-set, then a three-set. And they liked me. I used them and the fact that my friends and I were lacking a table (I planned this ahead, I figured it was a good opener and a way to get into a bigger set.
That much worked. After I opened the one guy, fairly casually, I managed to get the whole three-set ready to play fooseball with me (I wished I worn a lower shirt). But the machine was broken so they packed up and headed back to their table. So I asked if I could tag along, since we had no table. The guys were happy to have me and made room.
I got names all over the table and chatted quite a bit with two boys, James and Steve. Both were VERY cute. HG8 and HG9 at least.
But I wasn't really nervous, admittedly I had two Blowjobs in me so there was a bit of liquid courage going around.

Now maybe it was the two blowjobs, or maybe it was my success in opening the boys and getting to the table, but like I said, I was pretty comfortable. I was seeing a lot of IOIs from James, he kept playing with his hat.

Then they spotted The Game in my hands.
They were enthralled with the book and showed it to their friends, it was a hit. In hindsight I should have left it here. I should have put the book away and made other conversation. But no, I talked about PUA and how they were my second two-set and I'm pretty sure this is where I lost them.

A few minutes later I noticed James was looking at the TV more than me and had his arm over his lap, cutting me of. I got my friend to give me the time and I said I had to go. I tried to pull the 'Kiss goodbye' kclose. James kissed his fingers and half-touched my cheek. Steve said he had a jealous girlfriend and that was it.

So that could have gone better, probably would have if a) I was sober (Hadn't planned on running game) b) I kept The Game in my backpack.

So Cinnamon is still learning, but that's okay with her. And James and Steve have a good story to tell about how a pretty girl tried to pick them up.

On the plus side. I've decided that the campus bar/restaurant where I did this is going to be my new practice-pit, where I run my Game and make all my dumb mistakes. There's lots of cute boys, beer and food. And the campus is so big I can fuck up major and laugh it off. Then when I hit the bars elsewhere, I'll be on top-game. ^__^

My friend has a birthday party this weekend and on Sunday I have coffee with the boy I nclosed so expect more FRs from Cinnamon.

Love,
Cinnamon

it takes time to get PU down but props on putting your self out there.

its awesome to know that women are switching up the social norms and approaching guys.

keep it up Cinnamon.

It's not really bending any social norms. The game was designed around guys attempting to plow through girl's tactics of selection.

Since you are a girl you could approach any guy without getting blown out, and if you hold a milidly entertaining conversation for 5 minutes could n-close 100% of the time.

I understand if you're bored and am trying to learn game, but weigh what it's really doing for you?

beardong: of course it's awesome for women to approach us, but then you wouldn't be gaming, you'd be getting lucky.

The mistake you made was letting them feel like you were trying to manipulate them. The problem that most girls have with PUAs is that they feel like PUAs wants to manipulate them. NO ONE likes feeling manipulated - this is true for both genders.

lol @ "HG"

By the way, it's also conventional not to use people's real names in FRs/LRs, although James and Steve are pretty common names.

Can't wait for a hot n steamy LR from this forum's favorite nympho

I can't really get passed the idea of girls gaming guys in this fashion... I'm not sure that using these techniques will work...

I feel its a lot like a guy trying to use a tampon. Why?! Am I alone on this? Girls and guys are polar opposites, what works on girls will not work on guys.
If I were you Cin, I would just go out and have fun; don't be limited by social constraints, but don't worry about gaming us.

Some dudes learn game who are decent, and end up worse off than they were because they are thinking too much about all the little details and intricacies. I guess I'm confused as to what your actual goal is... So, what is it anyways?

Alright, so I guess I'm going to have to make a reply and explain why I'm in PUA.
So in The Game, Strauss has this one line that speaks very strongly to me:
"drug addicts go to rehab, violent people got to anger management, and social retards go to pick-up school."-Neil Strauss, The Game

I think this quote essentially explains why I'm here.
I spent three years in an all-girl's school (Please pause your naughty thoughts for a moment, you may return to them after I'm done) and three years after that in a strictly monogamous relationship (that was sadly only monogamous on MY side). So my Junior High and High school life, where most people learn their social skills with the opposite sex, was completely devoid of such interactions. So my social growth is very, very stunted, especially with boys.

Now I may be using approaches and certain tactics used in The Game, but I'm incorporating my own style and a whopping load of trial-and-error. So it's not like I'm using only the techniques used to pick up women to try and pick up men. So no, I'm not expecting MM or the like to work on guys, I'm creating my own method.

I send IOIs, which is something you guys aren't supposed to, I avoid negs, there's a list of things I'm doing that is completely different from what most guys use on girls. I'd argue we're not polar opposites, especially since I'm a bit of a guy in a girl's body, even ask Chief, and that while techniques may be very different, DHVing, opening and closing are pretty well the same all around.

All I'm doing is giving myself a head-start to make up for that six-year span of 'Boys are disgusting!'.

Finally, I don't quite have my own style yet, but what I'm essentially trying to do, is take the AA out of boy's hands, because I know what a bitch it is, and then work on getting them to hit on me. Maybe I can't get 'blown out' of sets, but they can still end less-than well.

Really boys, we're not all that different.

Cinnamon
