OK, this is my first ever post, call me Street!
Under 3 minuets?....yeah right....
, nope it is possible! Just man the fuck up and attack.First of, I will let you know, I am new to the technical jargon of a PUA so you will have to bear with me.
Now, a little about me, so it makes my post a little easier to understand. I am big into human behavior, specifically non verbal behavior, ie. body language. Did you know up to 70% of communications between mammals is done through non verbal behavior! I have read many books regarding this subject, one I can recommend is What Every Body Is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-reading People by Joe Navarro. A lot of the information I have read in this book I use on the streets....defiantly a good read!
My job, I am a charity worker. Myself and my mate drive every day to any town we want and work the streets. We are based in Lancashire. We are a little different to your regular charity workers (also know as Chugas, meaning charity muggers) First of we don't wear uniforms, so we blend in the crowd, second, we take money directly, so we are classified as street traders in the eyes of the law.
My job, it involves walking up to complete random strangers and getting money out of them as fast as you can, sometimes we see how fast I can get someones hand in there pocket (my personal best from stop to pitch...9 seconds) Its quite unbelievable what a piece of paper and a good pitch can do!
When I first started it, god it was hard, and a little nerve racking, but you get over it! With the job, you start to get to know your 'targets', we have technical terms for all different people, yes that includes you.
My targets are women 18-40 but sometimes to keep me on my toes I like to try business men now and again, give you solid eye contact and your pitch has to be spot on.
Ok, my method!
When I first stated out, I noticed to be good, You simply cant hesitate, if you do, you start to over think things, what am I going to say, what if she finds me weird etc, well, man the fuck up!, you see that target, you just go! I turn into my 'street mode' when I finish my Red Kick energy drink from Holland and Barrett, and that's it, its like a switch has turned on, my legs just walk, even when in my mind sometimes I don't want to, it becomes natural, I see a woman, I just walk towards her! I would say I speak to over 200 women a day.
Stopping your target.
I have numerous ways of stopping women, some work good, some amazing, some shit, but its all trial and error till you find one that works for you!
So know, this is when you look for your target, its hard to explain on here, you just know through time who will stop (we call them a 'guaranteed', but you can also spot the ones who will just walk past you and say no)
I have noticed, that the best was to stop woman in their tracks, is let her see you looking at her, standing in her 9-11 o'clock of her direction, your stood in a way where your not in harms way, and she can choose whether to walk on or turn towards you. Remember to smile!
Now its all about alpha mode, turn it on, your the fucking guy, let her know! With a strong voice, direct eye contact, with a slight cheeky smile, just say clearly, excuse me, quick question! That's it, no more no less.
I have noticed this works very well when a woman is in the middle of many other commuters, when you call out at about 10-15 ft away, she give you the 'do you mean me?' look, You will notice the crowd looks at you too, but don't loose eye contact, don't give a dam what other people are doing, just concentrate on the woman. You then see something that I would say 8/10 women do, then just change, there eyes, smile, its like a button has been turned on. She will stop and slowly come towards you, stand your ground, let her come to you. I think the crowd helps because you are stood calling her, in the midst of complete strangers, and it portrays confidence, the woman will usually keep eye contact or look at a complete stranger, and move towards you.
Now, sometimes, another approach Is to stand in the woman's direct path, and I will actually put my hands up, as in you would when stopping a car, and just say, put your breaks on! 7/10 they will stop and with a smile, instant but it works.
Openings
Ok, so you have stopped the woman, now what, the first line is key, you have to make them laugh, it breaks the ice...some things I say...
Don't worry I am not a weirdo, only on a Tuesday...(Instant Laugh)
Where are you from?....(her).Some Town (you)..Oh your a posh girl aren't you OR your from the posh end of the world..., instant laugh. Now this works in 2 ways, if they are from a scummy place, they will think you are being sarcastic, and some will actually find it as a compliment, but often it leads to chat, and you can play around with it, ie. did you arrive in town today on your horse and carriage.
At least your smiling, every one else is in a right mood! Then you can ask them what they are so happy about.
If she was walking fast, say, Jesus Christ speedy, you nearly ran me over!...
Stupid cheesy one liners but the break the ice...make your own up that's all your having!
Introduce Yourself
Just put your hand out, and introduce yourself, that simple. When they say their name, if it is a very generic English name, say Kate, say something like, ooo thats exotic what is it Turkish?, once again stupid lines, but it keeps the woman smiling.
Ok, now this is normally where I would do my pitch for the charity, but If I like the girl, and we have clicked, I would simply say.
You know what, I don't normally do this, but I think your a nice girl and would love to speak to you again! No more.
Now she will either say no, or she has a bf but more times than not, she will then do one of the followings there and then;
Add you on Facebook.
Give you her phone number.
Or
What I try and do, if there especially sexy, get straight to the point. Ask her whats her favorite coffee, she will then give you a reply, and say OK, I know a good coffee shop here, and just start to walk. She will just follow, if she can't come, arrange for the evening, and 9/10 you will have a sexy woman just sat there at 5pm smiling waiting for you. It is honestly that simple.
Its all about confidence, manning the shit up, showing her, your the man!
Happy hunting!
