Tried gamblers hey how have you been approach with/without forced IOI's, relatively empty club (midweek, student night)... I failed miserably. I had this wierd point I reached with the target where they said "no you're thinking of someone else"... Tried carrying on with "No way! I've met your doppleganger!" with no avail (lack of interest from them turns back to friends)
Has anyone had any success with this method (UK 19-23 age group, or any in general). Would really appreciate any input on this. I'm relatively convinced gamblers method of pickup suits me the most with cold approaches. I want to improve but can't do so without some feedback or detail on how to use these methods in field.
I've found that the "curious expression" opener doesn't work for me. I don't know if my expression doesn't seem genuine or what, but I tried probably 50 times and got a cold conversation.
However, forcing the IOI's does work tremendously for me. When she responds positively to the wave or point, I am free to open without any fear of rejection, so I do that in the way that I am best. Meaning I am free to open verbally and directly. When she sees you point at her, and she smiles or points back, and you start to approach her, she gets excited. You just had a fun interaction across the room, so she's expecting you to be a fun sociable person. Give her just that when you meet her verbally. Good energy levels, flirty, and most importantly, have fun! If you are having fun and you bring it to her, she'll have fun and become attracted to your vibe. Find or think of a funny opener, or do like I do and just introduce yourself, followed by a wacky thing to say.
Like "What's up? I'm Ruggedized." She says, "Hey, I'm (HB)" "Good to meet you. I like cheesecake."
Be creative. Usually she will either agree with you (at which point you high five her) or she will laugh. Then you start on a routine stack if you need one.
