Friday evening, 11:30 pm, me and a friend have just arrived at a cafe in Amsterdam. A good friend is celebrating his birthday and we were invited. As we enter the bar he's just begun giving his speech, we're both slightly tipsy at this point. We greet him and the other people we already know, one of them which is a girl I already spoke last time. I tried the mind reading trick on her back then and it worked pretty good, however she became disinterested after a short conversation I had with her regarding the mind trick. Not knowing how to escalate well sucks, and I need to learn how to do that.

I spoke to her for a while a couple of times this evening, and I learned some things. It's hard to escalate when you haven't done anything with the attraction you previously build with that woman. For the rest I didn't try any PUA gimmicks on her and just small talked with her, with a light touch sometimes.

There's a cute girl sitting on a large window sill with her feet resting on a bar stool. I approached her and we started talking, can't remember how I opened. Probaly just a handshake and introduction, it's direct and I like it. This time around I felt like practicing the cube, I genuinely think that one is fun and I feel the need to get better at it. As I begin the routine she tells me she knows the cube so I'm thinking "Have I been found out?" haha, she then even asked me how I know it. Just to make sure I told her a friend taught me. Ends up she knew it from a psychology book, even though she doesn't study it. We end up talking about our psychology interest and studies. I found out she's 28, whereas I am nineteen years old, and she told me she just started working. She's obviously too old for me, and I leave to get some fresh air.
Despite the obvious age difference I still felt like she genuinely thought I was interesting and we both kino'd each other a little bit at times, light touch at the arm etc. I kept her interested for a good amount of time.

Third and last girl this evening, just small talk and a little bit of kino. Turns out she went to bed with a guy where I slept over that evening. Props to him. Didn't learn much from this interaction really. And I had too much to drink at this moment anyhow. Still had some light kino and made her spin around.

This whole evening was in a bar and cafe scenario.


It's saturday and I've just arrived at a party. I greet everyone I know with a firm handshake. As I sit down 3 girls arrive, one of which I know. But I've got my eye on another one. She and her friends walk to my direction, as there are only 2 chairs left. One chair is right behind me and the girl I've got my eye on sits down behind me, I shuffle a bit to the left and tell her to come in. She complies. I introduce myself with a handshake, I hold it for a couple of seconds and ask her how she's doing.

Athylus: Hey I'm Athylus.
Zeta (we'll call her that): Hey my name is Zeta.
Athylus: How are you doing?
Zeta: Good thanks, and you?
Athylus: I'm doing good. How do you all know each other?
Zeta: We know each other from school.

Now I remember that the girl I know graduated. We'll call her Charlie.

Athylus: Hey Charlie, I heard you graduated. Congratulations! *kisses her 3 times on the cheek*
Charlie: Hey Athylus, thanks!
Zeta: He's a gentleman
Athylus: *smile*

I notice their other friend still standing, I tell her she should sit down and she says yes sure. When I tell her she can just grab a chair from over there, she tells me she doesn't want to sit down suddenly. Okay, she is a weird one and a bit bitchy. I decide I don't like her and move on to talk with some other friends. Zeta compliments me for being a gentleman again though because I offered to get the other girl a chair.

I took that as an idicator of interest, and later in the evening I invite them to go out with me for a smoke. They all come, I actually fixed up a joint and Zeta wanted to smoke it with me. Third girl goes away after her smoke. Zeta and Charlie stay with me. We smoke some after which I let them try the best friends test and they pass. I tell her I don't really like their friend, perhaps this was a bad move. They told me she's sometimes weird, and actually cracked her off a bit. Were they trying to raise their own value in my eyes by being so? I haven't got that figured out yet. After the convo Zeta heads inside, but me and Charlie keep talking for a while.

There's one more curious thing that happened this evening, as I was talking with some guys I felt like a frickin alpha. It felt weird, because this hasn't happened to me before. Probaly because I haven't talked in such a manner before. They seemed a bit unsure of themselves to me, and I tried to make them feel about it indirectly. By telling my own stories similar to the ones they were embarassed about.
And here is why I think they were embarrased: they didn't know what to do with their hands and were scratching their bodies all over, leaning in a lot and generally didn't seem to be in a relaxive state.
So I took the initiative of taking that role, and suddenly they all started trying to qualify themselves for me. They were basically 'fighting' to talk to me all the time while I was just leaning back, sitting relaxed in the chair.



I've added Zeta on facebook and I might message her, I don't feel like my impression was very strong but it was solid. My perception was that she gave me a good couple of IOIs though. I learned a lot from these two evenings.

I've learned that
- Physical escalation is really important
- I need to kino more, and in a progressive manner
- My looks don't matter as much as I think they do
- The older women are more mature, and easier to speak to
- Don't drink too much! Or you get awkward and your game sucks
- No cube or any game that requires too much thinking when either or both has had too much to drink. Else she will become disinterested very easily.
- Body language is very important, and by reading it you can tell really well what's going on
- Keep eye contact, and don't forget to smile
- I need to tense down a bit. Maybe bioenergetics will work.

I forgot to mention that I approached two women in a bar and they were both married, lmao. Peace out.
