Hey,
Just got back from a fairly frustrating attempt at the newbie mission, seemed to have a really hard time picking targets. That itself is not something I normally struggle with so I wanted to get a little info about what cues to pick up on that someone is approachable and what situations to avoid.

Since this is my 1st post, a bit about me: I'm a 23-year old afc, in decent shape if a bit skinny, 5'10". I'm a music producer and programmer. Been w/ 4 girls all told, 1 LTR. I don't have much anxiety, but have a lot of trouble w/ mid-game and closing. My raw approach numbers are also pretty low so I figured I should just start from the beginning and just get as much practice as possible.

Anyway, I was at a super-crowded mall, feeling fairly confident, but couldn't really figure out how to approach any potential targets. No women standing demurely next to windows stocked with designer clothes, no girls laughing together over a text from their friends, and definitely no shy bookworm types twirling their hair idly while reading dostoevsky. Obviously real life is not like the movies, so what are the best target groups to work? Here's my observations:

Solo girls - usually on the phone or walking quickly from one place to the next. Would have to be really abrupt to catch one, I think.

Girls in pairs - seemingly the best targets, but surprisingly few. The ones I did talk to were pleasant but not easy to keep entertained.

Girl with her mom or dad - I'm assuming this is a non-starter, but can this work? Ditto for girl with boyfriend.

Large (4+) groups of mixed gender - have never tried this in daytime, seems like a recipe for crash and burn.

1 girl with a couple guys - seems like this might be a fairly easy group since the girl is already at ease, just have to work on disarming the competition.


What are the cues I should look for to indicate a set is workable besides numbers and genders? Anyway, will probably try again next week. I'm focusing right now on posture, speaking more loudly/clearly, eye contact, and body language, which seem to be my weak points. Any suggestions or links you have on that would be appreciated as well - thx.

Aye bud welcome to the community,

Mall game fun shit broski, to answer your question about the cues and how do you know if there workable or not. You simply just need to start a conversation, especially being an AFC and all, girls could give you false cues or not even give you one at all, so how would you know if there workable or not if you dont try to initiate a convo?

But a really good site to check out for day game is http://www.daygame.com/ it could truly help you out broski.

Happy hunting
-Fate
