These were my thoughts, as I thought them. Any advice on how to game should be taken as entertainment and not me actually trying to train anybody in how to game. Emphasised points are for my own benefit! I am trying to drill into myself what to do and not do.


Breakthrough......ish

The goal of this sarge was (if I am being completely honest) to prove to my new, and coincidentally PUA aware, housemate that "night game in Liverpool is impossible" or close to. The experiences that I've been witness and receiver of have caused me to think firmly that women on a night out in Liverpool are just too bitchy. They are too defensive and they won't be picked up. Abandon ship, daygame is our only hope....
The difference was day and night, and very, very positive. We approached with a game plan and didn't just throw ourselves at the problem. We followed the basics and didn't deviate unless we saw fair opportunity and necessity to. Those basics being;
Have (or appear to have) fun at all times
Build social proof and presence by opening sets of low value, to higher, to high. (No running straight up to the highest value set and getting blown out, only to wreck the whole club for ourselves because of our laziness and poor calibration)
Do not periscope (stand in one place and stare around the club looking for hot sets). Instead dance, laugh, have fun and open the best set in your vicinity.
Many more steps of course, these being the most obvious

And so by leaving the ego at home and following these steps I had possibly the funnest night out, and certainly one of the most successful and portentous night I have ever had. It is all stuff we know, but neglect to follow very often. There is no excuse for having tight game and good banter, without the two sets just crumble or don't open in the first place.
Empezar. We walk, me and Marco, to town and discuss tactics on the way. I am a little nervous at this point but ready for whatever will happen. As I have been repeatedly telling him "it is going to be bad mate, brace for impact" I warn him time and again about the abrasive reactions we are going to have. But as we come into town things seem to be positive. I build state by fist bumping a few people and talking quickly to promoters. Marco keeps wandering off in random directions- the whole place is new to him. We dip quickly into Modo and see exactly what I was dreading: a sparsely populated club filled with same sex groups all huddling together and nobody risking talking to anybody else. I start a conversation with a shot girl that I know (gamed and took the number but it never came to anything), after that we both agree to leave, the SPAM is toxic.

We go next door to Soho and it couldn't be more different. The place is full, everybody is dancing and it is easy to melt into the crowd and build a little comfort for yourself. We move to the middle of the dancefloor and I ask Marco repeatedly "you erm....you....want a drink" I dont have enough money to buy myself a drink, let alone the both of us. I'm panicking. I take a deep breath and keep dancing while looking around stealthily so that nobody notices me scoping the sets out. There is a fat ginger girl, a 3/10 that would be a 7/8 if she lost the weight. I open her with, "look, this is my polish friend" and she is receptive, of course she is. We all talk and have fun, she has some interesting stories and when her friends- 4 girls that could easily have held promise- come back, we are introduced. Even though we end up leaving that set with no number, and no close we have gained so much. During the course of the conversationg I am introduced to 4 girls and 3 males, one who offered me weed lol. I get ioi's from 2 girls in 2 different groups- which I could have opened if I had a lttle more game and state. We leave the club after that, and are ready for the next one.

Revolution is next, after a few street approaches that go well but don't end in number closes. We stop outside again and talk to the promoter and generally enjoy the interaction, it is fun! She is the most gruesome girl I've ever seen, but has a lovely wembley accent and shoots the shit with us for 10 minutes. We go in, and of course the bouncers have no issues with us. No amazing sets in here and the SPAM is somewhat stifled, we use the card the promoter gave us as a prop and give it to a girl sat with her friend at the table. They are both 5's but the rules still apply. "Happy birthday" I tell her "heres a card". Funnily enough it was the birthday of the slightly more attractive one and so that set was opened and receptive. We gamed them for a little while then walked away to assess the damage, saw only mens and decided to walk out- on the way I reopened the slightly more attractive one and gamed her for 2 minutes before going for the number. Disaster! She had a boyfriend. But after all this......my state is on fire.
Flow state now. Opening is no longer a confidence issue but a logistical one. It's just something that you do- you see a hot girl, you open her. We walk around a little looking for another club and walk past the concert square, and the lime kiln. There she is, I can see her silhouette in the glass- a girl almost as tall as me with a perfect figure. "look at that" I say to Marco "I have to try".

The beginning of the end.

This is not a dry run, fuck up and you lose. You're a pua? so prove it. There is your target, you're here and she's there- so make it happen.

This girl is the prize, just as I walk into the club and turn the corner to look at her a group of 4 guys walk over to her simultaneously and try what I'm not sure, but some kind of a pick up attempt that much is obvious. She predictably blows them all out and they walk away with their tails between their legs- an illustration of what I've seen and felt before and exactly what I don't want to happen to me.

I'm stood for a brief second on the edge of the dancefloor and everything that I've been talking about flashes in front of me. Lets nutshell this for simplicities sake, I have two options

1. I like the girl, I walk straight up to her and take my chances. If I get blown out, which I probably will given that she has had no chance to experience me and assumes that I'm the same as the other creeps she encounters because of the aforementioned, then I've been blown out by the top dog, and no other woman in that club will want to be seen with me. I'm done.

2. I can actually use pick up. I can act like I haven't seen her, open a couple of sets and dance and enjoy myself. I can open a low value female set and then use that value to open a more attractive set, which will put me at a high enough level to open top dog.

I choose option 2.

Funnily enough, after doing all this I get near to top dog and she gets huddled again by guys. I pull a random dude in and ask him "what are the odds of me getting her? (he answers in the negative) You think so? ah well, maybe next time" and I walk away. Now please make sure you take note here, this is the important bit.

I walk away from the dancefloor without looking directly at or opening top dog. As I am leaving I talk to someone at the entrance for a minute and see top dog herself- a girl who has literally minutes ago blown out 8 guys- leaves the dancefloor and her friends and makes an obstacle of herself, blocking my exit. THE HOTTEST GIRL IN THE CLUB OPENED ME. WHY?

Because I used game. If I had simply walked up to her and said hello, do you think she would have even returned the greeting or blown me out without thinking twice? No.

The next hour is largely redundant, I game her, we kiss repeatedly and build comfort, I get dragged from that club to another, and that's when- for no good reason at all, I walk away from the hottest girl I have gamed so far.
Bug out.
It is painful to realise that I walked away from a lay with what would have been the hottest girl I ever fucked. She told me she was on the rebound, she was heavily physical, verbalised that "I take it slow", and she isn't returning my texts now- all signs point to her being dtf there and then and having plenty of options outside of myself that she can pursue after the fact. Why did I leave? I wanted to go and preserve that precious number, rather than push for the pull and risk getting blown out or doing something stupid/uncalibrated and losing the set.
Ridiculous, but something I need to fight against and improve in the future.
Conclusions
Exactly as I though. You are not above the process and ignoring the rules will result in you being disqualified. Game and be creative with the rules and good things will happen. At this point I KNOW that there will still be up's and downs, and that the pinnacle is not even in view yet, let alone reached. But I know that If I can walk away with the hottest girl in the club once......I can do it again. And it also means that I can achieve my ultimate goal in life and game, which is;

My 1# ultimate goal in life and game
Reach a level of proficiencey, whereby I can,
A. Go to a club, and
B. Pull a 7+ out of 10 every time I want to and take her home and fuck her
C. Not have to stay out till 4am and when the girl "is ready to go" in order to achieve the pull
