Does anyone have any cool strategies for when you are in a house party? Because it's a limited number of people compared to a seemingly infinite number in bars, I figure it should go slower, like a middle ground b/w day game and night game. Let me know...

~Fra Diavlo

come into the party with a lot of energy. talk to host alot(social proof). feel free to walk away from target to talk to other people, she isn't going anywhere. be relaxed and talkative and people will come to yot.

At house parties people strongly tend to gather in groups of 3-6 people. In this case, after opening the set starting the routine with "How do you all know each other" as Mystery advocates, seems especially appropriate.
This is important because if you have bad luck and there's some AMOGs around. And since you're at a house-party where people probably know each other there is a possibility that there are several of their friends and you could get your ass kicked big time if youre not a little careful. If you watch out for that there's nothing that can go all that wrong if you use standard routines. be careful not to use the exact same routine here all the time, cause people in different sets will listen to you as you speak if you display sufficient alpha-characteristics and will pick up some of the stuff you got going in your routine. Try to do your routines a little slower so you got sufficient material to take you trough the night.

On the other side house parties are perfect because there tend to be a lot of socially remote locations in other rooms or upstairs or wherever to isolate your target at. There you can do all your little games (cube, cold reading or using your prop-bag) without showing it to everybody. This way you can re-use it several times in the same night.

Dont forget to social-proof yourself with the first or second set by taking a walk with some HBs around the location. Since quite some people will probably know each other here association and display of value is especially efficient!

Hope I could help a little

come late to the party after everyone is drunk. everyone is more likely to say hi and make you look alpha because u look popular. it has way more of an effect than you think.

What I would do is enter the smaller sets first just to give a good first impression. Then after the hook point, make the smaller set as a tool to open the next bigger set. Make sure not to use the same material. I would advise you to have a good routine stack.

this is great advice, but are there any particular routines that would lend themselves to the house party? i was at one saturday and i wanted to try to DHV this cute lil brunette, but it was to loud to story tell cause of the music and it was to cramped to try doing a an ESP, palm read or other cold read. i was thinking that if i could get her into another room of the apartment i do the palm read into the ring routine and get a K-close, but how the hell do i get a girl into some one else's bedroom without it sounding wicked forward?
thanks.

If the music was too loud then that may have been a good opportunity to dance with her if there was a place people were dancing. It sounds like you had already opened her, which is the hardest part in these kind of situations.

After I've opened a girl and chatted with her for a little while usually just grab her hand, and start dancing with her. If she's into it, you'll definitely notice by the way she's dancing with you.

From there, increase attraction by giving her knowing little grins and loosely keep your hands on her but being careful not to grope her. Unless she gropes you, lol.

At that point you really shouldn't have any problem leading her to a secluded place. If it's too crowded in the house.... Why not go outside?

thanks for the response vivid!

going outside to "cool off" or "get some air" goes work really well to get secluded at house parties, but this was actually more of an apartment party than a house party, and on the third floor it was to hard to get her outside.

i did have he opened, thats always easy in parties, cause every one is social proofed enough to talk to just by the fact that they were invited.

unfortunately, there wasnt really dancing, a random drunk girl here and there would pulll one of her friends up and start rocking out, lol, but the girl i wanted didnt want anything to do with it when i jokingly asked why she wasnt dancing (i hate dancing too, lol). and even though i opened, i didnt have her comfortable enough to get to an obviously secluded spot. i think i needed to banter with her more, but i failed at holding her attention while still trying to keep the "i dont NEED to talk to you" attitude.

i think my biggest problem that night was that this HB8 cutie was the only really attractive girl there (why are college girls all so fat these days?!!?), and so she had no problem getting any attention she needed if i was going to push/pull her. the other guys there werent amogs at all, but they were already friends with every one there besides me and the 2 people i came with. she was very secure, not a party girl, and clearly didnt need my attention. i guess i really need to work on my push/pull... where can i read up on getting better on that?

thanks again for the help guys!

im not very experienced but i think you need a bit more attraction before you issolate. if it doesnt feel natural then your probably not getting the ioi's you want.
If it happens again try DHVing a bit more. things like jokes or something. something that fits in with the SPAM of the party

hope that helps

work groups, either your target's group or one next to her.
just go up to the group and introduce yourself like you're a fuckin rock star and they should already know who you are then go in to a really interesting or humorous story. this will DHV you in front of the target without even talking to her. then if the target hasn't got involved yet you can go up to her and say "you're a quiet one, what's your story?"

i go to house parties...frats and HUGE things all the time...ALONE and not knowing anyone!!! that way i arrive stripped and deprived of everything and leave a hero! or the life of the party,i dont even try to pick up girls, i just make everyone like me so then i biuld this social network and it makes ppl who arent your friend want to be your friend... here are 2 HUGE tips

1. when crashing bring a pizza and go directly to the host and offer it to him or some type of offering

2. bring a box of wine so you look resonsibly and respectable for not drinking everyone elses booze,plus its a good convo starter,it looks classy and you will have girls on thier knees playing slap the bag in no time.

3. start the weinis thing, this is something i made up to tell how big of a hit you are at a place, if someone offers you a high five or you come accross something where recognition can be taken, offer a weinis, (wienis is the skin on the underside of the elbow...and weinising is when party A engages thier wienis with party B) its a big hit and you can tell how cool you are at a party by how many people pick up on it,,, switch it up make it fun start a beerpong team named team wienis, make a cup....wienis that shit bro! soon it will be sweeping the nation just watch

- Appear with a lot of friends (social value)!
- Don't start seducing HB's too fast, when you're at a house party, everyone will know that you're "that guy" (AFC).

- Hang out with girls and use them when you approach. Game more than 1 HB at the time.

-- -- HAVE FUN!

Socialize with the groups in this order:

The host!

Groups of guys (social proof, disarming your enemies).

Groups of guys with girls (just be nice, you are not strangers anymore so it will be easier to open the girls later on).

Groups of girls , open normally (the social proof you should have generated will help you).
