As stated in most of my posts thus far, I am currently in Israel. I just finished reading "The Game" last week. Since finishing it, I've been been trying to learn as much from as many different PUA perspectives as possible, both from reading and actively sarging to test things out. That being said, there are certain questions and thoughts which I, and likely many other newbs, have, but have not seen adressed in enough detail.

-----> International Sarging

Currently being in a foreign country, I have some questions and concerns regarding sarging girls within a different culture from my own, especially if there is a language gap.

- How do I deal with the language barrier?
This can easily destroy you before an approach, in A1 or even farther in. For instance, at this very moment, I'm sitting on a bus (thank you BlackBerry) next to an HB7 Russian-Israeli girl. We've already became friemdly and using my headphone splitter, are both listening to my iPod. In fact, she is laying down in the back seat with her head (on her bag) less than 10 inches from my lap. Unfortunately, none of this matters as I speak no Russian, next to no Hebrew and. Her English is not much better (she just insisted that I lay down also, its 11:10 PM here). If we could carry a conversation, I might be spending tonight with this girl.
Again, what does one do in the above situations?

-Assuming one bridges the language gap, how does he deal with the different cultura factors, especially ones which pop up mid-pickup?

Being in Israel, there are both subtle and obvious cultural differences, being Jewish makes things a bit easier, but that aside, there are differences driven by other factors. Girls in general have tougher personalities and far thicker skin. (about 90% of Israeli citizens serve in the IDF right after highschool).
Also, if I weren't Jewish, how would I handle those differences driven by religion (not refering to the very religous girls)?

-----> General Sarging

These questions are specifically in regard to sarging within one's own social circle (ie. not close friends, but friends of friends, aquaintances, people who somewhat know you and so on). When trying to hook-up with girls within your own greater or even-pseudo general circle, there are politics involved as soon as you so much as think about it. These aren't people who if things don't work, you will never see again. For me, it is far more difficult to approach someone I even vaguley know than a total stranger (in which case I rarely care).

- How do you someone who you already know, but only vaguely and what are the guidelines for the encounter as opposed to how you would do the same with strangers?

-Same question, but assuming that you vaguely, or don't at all know the target, but she is with pople you know and are not really friends / cool with..

-I don't know if anyone here is or was in a fraternity, but I am. Mine is not the stereotypical frat-boy chapter, we are particularly known as not being tools . This is a double-edged sword; many girls in and out of Greek-Life party with us, but they also know us fairly well and likely know or are even friends with our prior hook-ups. How do you combat, avoid and or pre-empt these complications?

-Even at a regular house party, how do you deal with all of the above issues?

Its about 1 AM here, I'm backpacking around Hiefa and I'm out of thought power for now. If I think of more questions, I'll add on.
