[quote=""B""]Hey C&F,
Thanks a lot! I do feel more comfortable going with my friend because i think the feeling of being "protected" helps my inner game a lot. if things go south, he's there and i know he's got my back. and i also thing it adds a bit of social proof, and it really helps him, too.
as far as things they can do differently...
I honestly don't know if there's anything they can do. I mean, I've never been approached by a PUA, only by an AFC. Actually...I take that back. I MAY have been recently approached by a PUA in training at school. I was sitting at my drafting desk and he came up, very casual, slight smile, very under the radar and he said, "hi...show me your tattoo". I sort of knew what he was up to and I was quite intrigued and I decided to do a little "hard to get", just for the hell of it and continued drawing, showing him that I wasn't going to be his normal nice and welcoming set to open. It went well, he did well. I told him, just a second and then explained the tat to him to which he responded with, "I said show me, not tell me". it was okay, he seems like a cool guy.
So maybe this works in the male favor. As in, pick up seems like a larger community than it really is, and I have only ever been approached by one guy who knew what he was doing.
Maybe you're right about picking up, no matter what gender or sexuality. There are pros and cons to each aspect of the game, that's for sure.
I really appreciate the thoughts.
I guess my advice is...come in under the radar as much as possible. Body language really resonates, too. Using hands while talking enthusiastically will help to lower the "bitch shield" that it always up. Cocking your head to the side helps, too, it's just a subliminal thing that disarms.

Thanks for your thoughts, always nice to have a female perspective about gaming in general. I will be watching the forum and hope you will write your next report soon, I caught myself a little bit intrigued; finding out that woman also 'game'

Maybe a little tip, your finding it a HUGE problem from nr'close to f'close, why is that? I find that the most interesting part! It's the part of getting to know eachother about likes and dislikes; keep in mind that in her head, you allready have a good image (you got her number right?) So don't lay it out to easy that youre interested, you have her number, she's also interested in you, let her do the work and give little 'rewards' if YOU think she's doing her best.
Good luck in college!

Thanks a lot!
I have a FR to share, just haven't had time to write it. I'll write it this weekend.
