So here is the deal, I am taking a pilates class here at the university, for reasons stated above mainly, although I've heard it helps with running.

I know 2 girls currently, but they are from my AFC past (and I don't want to revert to AFC mode), and only 5-6s at most. There are lots of 8+ girls, but being the ONLY guy in the class makes it tricky, more so than if there were more guys.

Therefore I am putting out the call to the community in helping me solve this situation. Here is my thoughts so far:

I think I need to make it clear that I am taking this class to learn, not to be surrounded by girls. (The problem with this is that it is one of mystery's sequencing mistakes, comfort first)

So who wants to play this game? Any lessons learned and tips will be updated, so that you all can use it in a similar situation.

Perhaps try ignoring them all together for the first few classes, definitely don't check them out aside from their form (I mean that literally, not in any sexual sense) and concentrate on excelling. If you do this, they should be able to see it for themselves, thus doing all the work for you. That's my thoughts, but perhaps other people have some experience with similar situations and have better advice.

being the only guy will get you a lot of initial attention, so be ready for that. What he said^, then after a bit Make small chat with the ones(asuming that be hot and high status). Talk with them, see what they are doing for lunch or out of school things, get to know them a little. Make it clear you are there for the class and not them, but "it is nice to get to know them as well and if something happens then oops lol". NOt sure how specific you wana be. Haven't been in this situation but that is what I would do.

I would almost take it a step further and act gay, so that they don't see you as a threat or there to just pick up girls for the first couple of meetings. I would also chit chat with a couple of the girls. But make sure the chit chat expresses that you are there for the class not the girls.

Rye's idea ignorning them for the first few days is good. However, you need to be confident about ignorning for the "right reason". Don't come off as an ass because that will ruin the whole situation. Just play it smooth for the first week, then start talking. You already have a common hobby, so why not talk about it over lunch?

Yea, the thing with ignoring them is I need to walk the line between not caring and becoming the shy guy in class.

I have definitely acted a little gay, and today I will be rocking skin tight workout clothes, although I missed a big opportunity last class.

Our teacher was talking about all the movement that would be done and not to wear loose clothes/so falling out could happen. Only after making it to my next class did I realize that I would have diffused the awkwardness by saying "I won't wear short shorts either"

For now I think I am going to curl up and look like napping with my mat, I have overheard girls talking when they think I'm asleep, apparently they find me sleeping to be cute/adorable.

Further if someone asks or it comes up I'll talk about staying up playing with my roommates dog and him licking me and waking me up, since my roommate was gone.

So the girls are talking about you in class!?!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?!!? Engage! Engage! Engage!

They WANT YOUR FUCKING ATTENTION!! Here is the deal. Approach the lowest 7 that you do not know. Get to talking to her. Be friend her. You befriend her, you befriend them all. Play a 26 HB gigantic jealousy plotline. All the other girls are going to be wondering why you are not talking to them. Be friendly, but make them work for your attention. there is always that girl that has to have all the attention from all of the guys when they are around. I guarantee there are 3 or 4 of those girls in there. Make them work harder....

My idea is flip the script. What if this was an MMA class and 1 hot chick was in there with 26 guys. If she is doing really well, she will have the respect of the guys and I guarantee she will get more than her fair share of her attention.

Quit being the shy weird guy and open up to these girls. Do not be the goofy guy, be willing to learn in your class and be strong/alphaish. Dont lay there like a puppy dog. Get up and engage these girls. It will be less weird. If you screw up a move and look like an ass, the girls with think its cute and endearing. If you take a genuine interest and participate like this is something you have a passion for, it will show through and the girls will really dig you.

If you befriend enough of them, than you will be able to go out with all of these girls as pivots... They will pick out girls for you... This is sooooo fucking money!! You are sitting on a winning lotto ticket. CASH THIS BITCH IN!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck bro.

Yeah, Chino is right, I didn't mean to say that you should be shy and reclusive, you just need to show commitment to improving your skill at the class, by doing that, you'll gain their respect. Just because you are working hard at the class doesn't mean that you can't talk to the ones around you, especially if they are talking about you. I meant that you should work hard at the class, but don't ignore them and go into your own little world, be friendly, or you're gonna wall yourself off and make it weird when you do try to engage them further.

LOL, thanks guys.

I believe if parkour opens up one girl consistently, he wont have to open a single girl the rest of the time he is in there. If the girls see him comfortable talking to women in female dominant situation, they will open parkour up all day long.

Just do not be creepy, goofy or a know it all.

OoOOooOoOooOooOOoooo...... also... ask for assistance on a move... if you are having trouble being able to do a certain position, ask for one of them to give you some assistance. Major points on showing you have a vulnerable side, but confident enough within yourself to ask for assistance. Just dont be a bitch about things, otherwise instant LJBF.

Again, show your willingness to help and be a little vulnerable while being cocky and a strong man... you are bound to get one or two to show you some nekkid pilates.

First off you deviant bastard...as with a yoga class, this was an excellent call for extracurricular activities. My hat's off to you.

Chino's post is money. The only thing I would add, is to get a one or two of these girls outside of the environment where you can show more characteristics of PUA without seeming player given the environment.

For example invite a few girls in the class that you get to know within a few weeks to a function at a club or bar where you invite other friends (if some of them are female, this will only add to your cause). Now you are in an environment where it's okay to run traditional pickup on the girls, whereas it may have been creepy in the pilate's class.

After this event, these girls are going to see you as an fun-loving alpha male who showed them a helluva time and start giving you social value within the class. Believe me all the other females will see this and attraction triggers will start going off. From there it's number closing, text & phone games, D2's and happy fucking.

Chino, I find myself saying these two simple words to you all the time....you're right! Opening the 7 is genius because the other girls will say to themselves, "I am prettier than her and I can get the attention." If you can open one girl, they will all come to you and make your like incredibly easy.

What you mean like my yoga class right after my pilates class? Luckily playing it like I want to learn will be easy since part of the reason for each is not related to girls--pilates will help my injured tendons in my leg, and the yoga class is all about relaxation, which taking 18 hours (8 classes) I could use a little of that.

I was probably a little too quiet today in class, albeit most of that was me laying down during breaks, I'm kind of sick. And I rocked my skintight running clothes, so I think I've sewn the seeds of gayness.

There were def a few girls who wanted attention, the space near me filled up quickly, although it was a couple 8s, a 9, and to the corners were a 4 and a 5. So opening a 7 might be difficult....I'm ok with that though. As far as a 26 HB jealousy plot, that is reaching too high for me now, I'll focus on those around me, especially if they are the same girls. I got there kind of early, so THEY chose to me near ME. Plus I was in the front, so I wasn't a creeper looking through all the girls to the teacher.

Keep in mind that I have this class 3 times a week for 8 weeks, so these people have to see me, there is no rush. But I think I'm gonna bring up my birthday party at the end of September. I have a party house already, and it will soon be my turn to bring the girls...

As I was walking back to my place I was thinking about how exactly to open, and I am thinking about talking about my night out thursday in fridays class.

In some of my previous posts I mentioned that most everyone goes out and gets hammered pretty much everyday (like my roomies yesterday). So I think telling some of my stories, especially with the dog will help, and avoid class-based discussion, which works in a more academic setting.

As for the dog story I was gonna do it like so:
(Showing my arm) "I don't have a mark here right?"
HB: blah blah
"See my roommate was gone all day yesterday, and he has this hyper little dog, Cooper. During my study breaks, I played with him, then during my studying he would just chill on my bed. I went to sleep before he got back so I just let him lay in my bed, the dog has some serious separation anxiety. Like when I went to the garage to do laundry he got soo sad, until he realized that I always came back. But here is the thing, he's a licker....

So every so often I would wake up to this maltese licking me. But he doesn't lick your face, he licks forearms."
Hb:blah blah


(The first seems weak, so help here would be awesome)

You're thinking too much. When I think too much I say nothing at all.

I took a hip pop dance class last fall. I was one of two guys in a class full of attractive young women. You know what I finally opened with after spending the first class as a mute?

"Hi". To the ENTIRE class. Walked right out in front of the class, with the mirrors boxing me in from three sides so there's nowhere to hide, and introduced myself. Made mention of the ridiculous boy:girl ratio. Walked from left to right to introduce myself to the girls (who were busy stretching and changing shoes).

Yeah, I was so nervous...it felt like the apocalypse. Shitting bricks. But hey, opening sets got considerably easier after that. Come to think of it, everything became a lot easier after that.

You don't have to do it that way. But take it from me, you should.

Thanks B! I'm glad you recognize greatness when you see it. :lol::lol:

parkour,

When you approach one of the 7's, the game is on. The jealousy plot line begins. You are not going to have to work the jealousy plot line, the girls natural competitiveness and cattiness will do it for you. The longer you go without saying much, the more awkward it is going to get. Think of all of these girls as classmates, and your just another classmate. You have an advantage here. Use it.

OK, on to the dog line. DO NOT USE THE DOG LINE. Seriously, you will come off as goofy and weird. The hb's will be able to tell its scripted. Do not lay their like you are sleeping either. Be handsome or hot not cute. Cute gets LJBF. It sounds like you are trying to find a reason for the hb's to pay attention to you. You do not need a reason to engage!!! Your opening line in this situation can be "Hi." They will respond politely back. You say. "I'm Parkour, whats your name?" Then ask how their weekend was. Its that simple. You are over-analyzing the situation. You have to be the one to engage them. They will not do it for you.
