First post. New to the pickup game but I'm eager and I'm a sponge for this kind of stuff. Most of the game I've been toying with is just simple openers during night game and a lot of text game when I manage to number close. I'd like to share an interesting little trick I figured out as I haven't seen it before. Like I said, I'm still relatively new so this idea may have been talked about already but it's worth repeating.

One of the biggest things that holds us back mentally in our pursuits of women, especially for new AFCs, is focusing in too much on what we want the end result to be. The advantage of text game lies in the time we have to come up with suitable, well-planned responses and witty banter. However, a lot of times, we may find ourselves becoming impatient or feeling the need to rush things. We are men and we want what we want. We build the woman up like an idol or an objective and suddenly we've lost the capacity to interact with her like a real person. As jaded as some of us are, we still have to recognize that they are cognitive beings like ourselves that crave to be organically stimulated. So I came up with a game.

Punchy: Okay let's play a game. Think of a wager. The game is whoever makes the stupidest face face wins.

Girl: Um... lol Ok. Let's do (insert wager here. Usually she will suggest winner buys a drink when you guys go out or some other dumb shit. Sometimes she isn't creative and she'll pressure you to come up with something. Suggest something like loser posts one of the pics on FB or you get to pick what she wears out next time. If you're feeling daring, you can attempt to go for sexy pics) YOU GO FIRST!

Punchy: pics (insert jokes about yourself with your pics. I like getting a couple in and saying shit like, "this is my O face" or after she posts an especially gnarly one, say, "I accept you," and make the same face)

Girl: pics (she'll probably be somewhat self conscious at first. Your job is to make her feel comfortable and like this is really fun. Btw, if she refuses to play this game at first, tell her, "I can't be friends with you if you don't play this game with me." If the bitch won't deign to make a stupid face, she's too highstrung and is probably shit in bed anyway.)

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose this (unless you're playing for tits. You win that shit, son). The objective is to get a ridiculous picture of her making a stupid face. Now you take that pic and make it her photo ID on your phone. This way, any time you get a text message from her, the first thing you see will be that stupid, fucking face.

For me, this mentally conditioned me to see the girl as a friend while I texted her. She was no longer this idol I built up in my head. No longer just a sex goddess and my objectives dropped to the subconscious layer. It allowed me to pursue an organic conversation with her and more fluidly transition the conversations where I wanted them to go.

Whether or not this helps anyone out, it was a helpful tactic for myself and if anything, it's a good game to play to get her quickly comfortable with being open towards you. Happy sarging, motherfuckers.
