Good afternoon, gentlemen.

For Christmas a friend of mine gave me 'The Game'. This insight into a whole new world was fascinating and life changing to say the least. So much so that I decided my new years resolution was to learn more, go out more and meet new people. So far I have learned various magic tricks, personality tests (Freud Test) and opening method.

But could all this theory be put to practical use? I started off by taking a trip down the shop last night. Once I got there I jumped on the bus and went to London to my friend's pub. Could all my reading be put to use there? It could not. There just wasn't any groups. Regardless, I managed to open a couple groups of guys and make friends.

Off to a nightclub. I started by talking to the girl who sells the tickets. Nothing major, but thought I would run the 'Oxymoron routine'. "Don't you find that working at the door and selling tickets is a huge oxymoron?" What you mean, she asks. "Well... you meet lots of people, but you don't actually meet anybody".#I had her, she was interested. But there was a queue. So into the club I go.

I was wearing a Frank Bruno T Shirt. I was stood in queue for the cloakroom and people started paying the shirt so much attention. I was peacocking without realising it. So much so that a HB8 started paying attention and talking to me. Over comes a guy she is with and he INSTANTLY tried to AMOG me. Saying the shirt looks like Mickey Mouse. What to do? Well, I just agree with him and play along in a sarcastic way. Then start patting him on the shoulder. The girl was even more interested at this point. So much so that AMOG had to physically put his arm around her and pull her away.

Anyway, I opened so many groups last night. I honestly don't know where it came from. I was even schooling the guys I was with. "You see those two? Which one do you like? The tall one? Okay, go up to them and compliment the tall one, then turn round to the girl in the read dress and tell her you like her dress and you saw a girl wearing the same dress earlier and she looked amazing in it". Then I started talking them through an AFC talking to a girl at the bar. "Any money this conversation goes nowhere. She will walk off and he will be left there at stage one. Notice how every time she talks to him and he talks to her, he leans in toward her."

Then I go open a Russian Girl. She teaches me Russian. Anya, her name was. My favourite, however, came from a couple at the bar.

The guy was really good looking and the girl he was with was equally so. He was wearing glasses so I go over and ask if they are real; paying no attention to the girl. He says they aren't real and let me try them on. "wow, I got a pair like this. They probably suit you better. Has your friend tried them on?" So he lets her try them on...

Neg time.

"Wow, you should hope your eye sight holds out, that isn't a good look for you". His face was in shock. She was shocked at first, but then magic happened. She started ignoring him and continued to pay attention to me. I introduce myself. They introduce themselves. I carry one talking to him and the girl starts putting her arms round me and and kissing my cheek. "You're so cool. I love you!". Wow. When I ask if they have known each other long he says "Yeah we have". She says "no we haven't". I then say that the guy is stealing my style, he is even stealing my hair cut. The girl runs her hands through my hair and tells me mine looks much better - infront of him! I continue talking and then go elsewhere and open other people. But everytime I walked past this couple the girl kept waving and and talking to me. By now the guy didn't like me very much.

Anyhow. I continue explaining things to my friends and then the night is due to finish. So it was time to open one last set. A set of 5. Long story short, two of them went home and 3 came to my friends pub for more drinks. One girl attempts to put a bitch shield up. I didn't qualify myself to her, I got up and went to talk to her friend for the rest of the evening. At the end of the night the girl who I froze out gave me her number and was K closed.

After reading a book can all the theories be put to test?

Damn right it can.

No feedback? *tumbleweed.
