| All I can say is wow, I'm not sure what happened tonight; if it was just dumb luck or if reading Style and watching Gambler's videos helped but tonight was the first night I have ever tried PUA methods and I managed to number close a 7 within 2hrs. So here's the full story:
I'm 37, what I consider average looks, and below average height for a guy at 5'7". I have been with around 110 women but only because I mastered the art of the pickup but only over the Internet. I've used chat rooms, dating sites, etc for years and could f close just about anything in driving distance as long as the convo started over the Internet. In person I have never been able to approach women; especially hot ones. I always had a ton of excuses in my head why not; she's too tall, her friends are watching, fear of rejection, she is in a group, etc.
Anyway, I bought Neil Strauss's book "The Game" and have been reading chapters every night for a week. This weekend I decided to put some of the techniques to the test, but I felt so underprepared I wanted some kind of final crash course before heading out. So I happened to find Gambler's videos on YouTube and watched almost every one for 2hrs straight.
I'd already learned from Style about peacocking, negging, working on your posture, ignoring the real target and engaging her friends instead, IOIs, etc. I learned from Gambler's videos the physical ways to escalate the encounter subtly, and how to add sexual tension.
Thanks to Style I knew about peacocking so instead of my usual drab clothing I picked the brightest shirt and shoes I own. I don't have platforms but I'm seriously thinking about getting some to get to that magical 5'9" stature. Also thanks to Style I was determined to keep a smile permanently plastered on my face, to have genuine fun no matter if I was bored.
So I headed out to a popular Tampa night club. I happen to be a very good dancer and have pulled past gf's and a few f closes just by dancing; but this club is different. It's way too crowded, the music is too loud to talk to girls, and they use way too many strobes which makes dance moves impossible to see, so I have never had much luck at this club.
So I walk in and head to my usual spot where I usually just stand until 2am when the club is almost empty so that I can actually dance. But instead of just standing there I told myself I was going to number close with a woman no matter what, even if I wasn't interested in her just to prove I could. So I started working the floor, checking every girl out; head high super confident smile on my face.
All of a sudden I get this squeeze on my arm and I turn around and it's a rather attractive woman asking me if I wanted to dance with her and her friend. Now remember, the club is crowded, the strobes are on, I haven't been able to actually dance at all. So I have to believe it was my attitude, and approach and confidence that pulled her to me.
So I turn around and immediately notice it's two women, the one that squeezed my arm was shorter than me, maybe a 6 and her friend was a good 2" taller than me and a strong 7. So of course I immediately want to go after the 7 but she looks really bored, has her guard up, and I remembered Style's advice; make friends with the friend and ignore the target.
So I dance with the 6 have a great time and barely notice the 7. It was too loud to do much talking so I switched to Gambler's seduction techniques. I waited until a Spanish song came on and I twirled the 6 a few times, then grabbed the hand of the 7 and started dancing salsa with her. But just for a second then I went back to the 6.
Anyway, I went on like this most of the night, gave the 7 just enough attention to keep her from being bored, and had fun with the 6. The 6 went to the bathroom and that's when I made my move on the 7. I used many of Gambler's techniques, leaned in close, put my hand on the small of her back, brushed her knee (she was wearing a sexy dress), slid my hands up the small of her back all the way to her neck. Placed my water bottle on her table where she was sitting, then leaned very close across her to get it, each time making some sort of physical contact with a sensual part of her body.
Then I asked her if she goes out much, she said no, and I said we should link up phone numbers since neither of us goes out much. That's when she gave me her #. The weirdest thing is I don't think I have ever number closed a woman in person that was taller than me. I never even tried because society has taught you that you must be taller than the woman for her to be interested in you.
I could have number closed the 6 as well, but she was just visiting from out of town so I didn't see the point; not to mention the risk of her telling her friend wasn't worth it since she was leaving in a few days anyway.
So yea, tonight was a great night, and without Style and Gambler I'd have gone home empty handed. If this is what week one, night one is like, I'm in for a wild ride.
