My friends I go to the bars every once in a while, and the type of game we use on women is different. I am just curious if one style works better than another when gaming strangers in night clubs.

1. Conversationalist: one of my friends is the type of guy that is always sitting down in a comfortable spot, or away from the main action have lengthy conversations with girls. He is the type of guy that holds a good conversation and always has something good to say. He does a lot of his flirting and escalation with words. He will also spend time talking with other guys at the bar if they are willing to engage in a good conversation.

pros:
-he can often have decent success when he is alone of with another guy.
-pretty high success rate at getting numbers and follow up dates.
-at the end of the day, at least he gets to meet new connections male or female.
-after talking for a bit he can introduce us to a group of girls

cons:
-not much frequency maybe a few good conversations a night
-can be really time consuming or a waste if picking up some girls is on the agenda for the night
-does not have immediate success that same night, he usually follows up over the course of a week

2. Mr. Direct: another one of my friends is very direct with women, often making sexual comments or picking out a girl and physically escalating quickly.

pros:
-Can be successful on his own or with one other guy
-A lot of same night success by bringing when it comes to bringing women home
-Does not waste much time, filters through potential girls quickly

cons:
-Gets shut down a lot (but he always bounces back).
-Gets a lot of shit from girls that are not interested, and can look like a fool at times
-Can be a buzzkill because his main focus is getting chicks, over having a good time a the bar

3. Life of The Party: basically I try to have as much fun as possible, and if the girls are interested they interested, and if they are not then o'well, at least I had a good time. I try to live it up in the moment.

pros:
-have a good time regardless of the outcome
-good a gaming groups of girls because they like the fun energy
-usually the girls looking for the life of the party/want to have a good time are those willing good home
-I make friends with girls and guys easily, which helps with connections and contacts later on
-quick escalation because women are having a good time

cons:
-pretty hard to be the life of the party when you go alone or just one other guy, usually I have better success in a group, or when my guy friend is down to get crazy
-drink too much
-miss opportunities because I am so caught up in the moment

personally i think the 3rd way is better, the life of the party. Doing this well allows you to encompass the other two methods. If youre surrounded by people including hot girls you can get away with being very direct with other girls. If youre already with hot girls, anything you say is more likely to come off as cheeky and playful, and that you dont really need them to comply because you already have options. If youre on your own or with one friend, going direct is hard because you can put out a desperate/creepy vibe too easily.

Also, the 'conversationalist' as you put it, is very closely related to the 'life of the party'. If you have a group of people around you, and you manage to hold court, you are the centre of attention and everyone else in the bar will notice this.

So really, the best method is to be all 3. For example, hold a conversation with a group of people and then say out of the blue 'fuck it, lets go dance!' and lead the group to the floor. now you're surrounded by people having a good time. Now you can easily open other people, maximising your options.
