just stumbled across this video. what this guy does goes against everything I've ever learned. I have this feeling that this guy gets absolutely no sex. lots of numbers maybe, but I just can't see this dude getting laid. maybe I'm wrong what do you think?
Well, this video seems to be out of context. If I had to make a guess it wasn't a video of how to pick up during the day so much as it was a video of approaching and pushing the envelope for new guys to show them what's possible.
As far as the style (over the top outrageous game) it isn't bad. Many women will go for this style of game, but with that said if you aren't normally like this it will not work for you.
The danger of adopting this style is falling into chronic opener/number closer trap. You'll start having "great interactions" and number closing a lot more, but then you'll be confused as to why you are getting a huge number of flakes. You'll become confused as to why so many of your first dates don't lead to second dates as well.
However, let's assume for a moment this was a video not just on approaching, but the whole start to finish routine.
A few observations:
1. Profanity. There is too much of it. Not for my tastes, but f-bombs really shouldn't be the first thing to come out of your mouth. Some women will take issue with this while others let it slide.
2. He seems like a pickup artist that gets in his own way. Sort of like when you go into a store and you already know what you want, but the salesman won't just give it to you. Instead he's trying to sell you on its merits and additional features. Which is of coarse pointless and will often lead to a lost sale.
3. Too direct. He's making the mistake of trying to hard sell her on what he can give her when he should be creating an interaction where she comes to this realization on her own.
4. He's seems to be having fun. This is good.
5. He keeps going until it is obvious the conversation is done. I love how he did his little spin and started over.
6. This one is a hunch. He has great text game. Although, the way he ran his first interaction probably leads to him needing to do more work in this area.
The Numbers:
11 Sets (I think. Probably miscounted.)
2 Sets didn't really go anywhere.
3 Number Closes.
2 of the numbers were likely flakes.
2 of his sets were solid interactions.
1 of his solid interactions he didn't get a number close.
1 of his solid interactions led to a number close and probably a hook up.
The girl he talked to where he said, "You have a really sexy body." was the solid interaction where he didn't get a number close. The other one was the girl with short blonde hair who hadn't had sex in 4 or 5 months.
So what conclusions can we make?
- It is a good style to get an interaction going.
- As is you have to have good text/phone game to keep those numbers from flaking.
- It immediately sets up direct sexual interest. So, if you're looking for friends with benefits sort of thing it is a good style.
- If this style doesn't fit your personality then you will fail and possibly delude yourself into thinking you're doing great.
- As far as the quality of this style verses other big name pickup styles it will give you roughly the same success rate (between 5% and 10%)
BUT let's say you REALLY dig his style. How do you tweak it to make it actually work consistently and with less effort?
Step 1: Make it a little less direct as far as some of the statements go pertaining to sex. I'd drop the casual use of profanity and only use it in places where it is relevant.
Step 2: Use leading statements to make her unsure if you are saying what she thinks you are saying. Then misconstrue what she says.
Step 3: Add some role reversal to make her think SHE is the one having these thoughts and use call out humor on her to reinforce this. Why convince her when you can have her going inside her own head and convincing herself that she's the one who wants you?
Step 4: Stop going for numbers and improve the logistics. A park or area where people go on their lunch breaks with a hotel or your place nearby would be good. If you have to skip a few lunches to hook up so be it.
