At 11 PM I am sleeping in my bed for 20 minutes. For the past years my body has been accustomed to having a good nights sleep, getting healthy, full of testosterone and what not. And waking up naturally to the sunlight. But not tonight. Tonight we are doing our first night of sagging. The past 40 days or so we have been doing the SLA Challenge using only day game so we are getting good at that, but tonight will be different. Naturally I have been out in my life a thousand times drunk, and I have also been out sober a lot. The difference is never in this setting, with only studying to become a pick up artist. Not for a very long time. So I call my wing, see whats up. I don't really wanna get out tonight. But I have a huge meal so I don't get hungry. Hit the bus and meet up. Popped a caffeine pill with 200mG of caffeine (two espressos) to get me through the night. It worked.

Now at this point we don't really know what our plan is. We have stepped into this new universe called night game and we have no idea how to go about. I had no idea, I usually plan and read up on the material for day game but I was empty of ideas for night game. So I let my wing tell me what to do. In the beginning we would just approach every other set we saw. My turn to start so I started by asking a group of 4-5 people where to go in this city. We spoke to them for maybe a minute or two, had some laughs. I had a good stance and so did my wing. Ok.

My wing approached a group of 4-5 asian men who were all dressed up. He asked them where to go out in this city, if this place is open or not. They replied.. I asked them how they all know each other, if they are a family or something because they are all asian. One of them replied back, in the same cocky manner, if we are brothers because we are norwegian. I laughed at this and said good point. We said good bye to them, told them to have a great night. Small talk is very easy when you are communicating to a big set instead of singles. People are more comfortable replying.

Later we enter a pub to meet up to some gamers (video gamers), friends of my wing. I shake hands with them but I am a bit puzzled how to make small talk with them. I try to say one of them oops like a plumber, he did, but they are not very receptive so I just stop talking to them. I suspect their mentality is something like "go out with friends, don't really have fun or make cool conversations, get drunk, maybe do something stupid, go to sleep, work and repeat". We experimented simply walking feeling good around this place. Apart from a chat we had with two 50 year old guys when we opened them asking something about coffee, something they were REALLY interested in (who knew) we left this pub. We hit another and I try to ask some girls something situational like "whats that band playing" but I couldn't project my voice properly and my body language didn't have enough energy.

Next we had a bit of a walk in the streets looking around at people. My wing practices some approaches while I wait outside 7-eleven. Next thing I know two guys approach me asking me where to buy weed. I ask them if I look like a drug dealer or something, even though they are annoying I think of them as practice. So I try to make small talk with them and I try to tell them some stories… But they don't seen very interested and my stories not captivating. Then I make a comment to one of those guys that "ok, I am not a drug guy but working out is my drug" and me tells me I look weak or whatever and that I should eat more food. But I didn't know what to say because:

How the hell do you use logic to drunk people? What can I reply? If this was daytime I could speak relatively fast and just use logic to comment him. No, he doesn't know of any of my progress, no he can't see my body properly, no he can't make snappy comments like that. But because his brain is drunk I really have no idea how to convey it to him. I am sober with a totally different attitude, he is drunk.

After that two girls come ask me for cigarettes and as I fumble to make a reply they say "nahhhhh he doesn't". I don't know how to reply to their drunk brains either. Should have done something, should have said something.

Next its my turn to open 3 sets.

At first I didn't, I walked past a lot of sets but made lots of excuses and thinking why I was making these excuses. I wasn't really nervous. I was feeling calm. I don't know what happened. Then I realized I had a subconscious fear of rejection, because I am so used in day game that everybody hears my voice and understands me. But here I was afraid of rejection in the sense that my energy would be too low for them, that they wouldn't give a shit about this guy who approached them. I know logically this is simply solved by practice and opening a lot of sets. Anyways, so these were my approaches:

#1
Two guys and a girl were walking down the street. I called them over my shoulder something like "Hey guys I have to ask you because you are looking drunk.. Me and my friend are having some problems. We are both working tomorrow and are sober now but in a good mood. But we have no idea how to greet durnk people like you!" So two of the guys stopped and I addressed one of the guys basically, and ignoring the girls. I tried to shake his hand like a caveman and give him a bear hug. Like a drunk man. I also think I yelled something. What I tried to do was to act drunk around them. But it was a little awkward. But right after I did that the girl was shaking my hand and really staring at me, like totally baffled at my approach with them. It felt like she looked at me like "OHHHHH YOU ARE ALPHA COMPARED TO THESE GUYS" or something. But I didn't know how to address her to I asked if she wasn't drunk because she wasn't saying anything. Then I left them to walk onwards.

#2

Approached a group of 4-5 people in the same street asked if they saw our really drunk friend. It looked like they glimpsed what I said to them, but walked onwards. One of them bothered to reply to me and joked that yeah we totally saw him. Not a good approach.

#3

We entered BurgerKing with a drunk friend of ours. While waiting two girls were walking through the restaurant I told them I just had to ask them if I look like a drug dealer. I explained the situation that happened outside 7-eleven. Stood with a straight back, not turned agains them but half to them half to my wing.

After my drunk friend bought me a burger, though I told his drunk mind I didn't wan one, I decided to give it away. A girl was standing not so far from me getting napkins with her menu and I decided to jokingly give my burger to her tray. She spotted me just as I did this and I just smiled to her. I assumed she knew I GAVE it to her but she thought I tried to steal one from her. So she decided to ignore me and speak to my friends, give them hugs. I tried to explicitly tell her I did NOT try to steal it from her but GIVE one to her. But she didn't understand this and left.


WRAP UP

-I LOVE feeling like a scientist. There is SO much I have to learn about night game. Baby steps. I will go out every friday and every saturday from now on, unless I have something really cool to do.
-It is VERY hard to talk to drunk people. I think they need drunk rapport and I don't know how to fake it. Ideas?
-I realized I have a subconscious fear of rejection because of my lack of enrgy/rapport with drunk people
-I also realize what a tremendous opportunity it is not drinking and having a proper analytical mind. IF I learn to use it - I can't yet.
-I couldn't even explain to a drunk girl I didn't try to steal a burger from her

This will take a lot from me. But I know every single one of you have been in my situation and there is bound to be a lot of field reports and guides on how to get through where I am right now. With the fantastic brain evolution has given me I will find a solution. I will think on my own and Google a bit. Sarge on brothers.

Take two on saturday. Not an exiting night but I am baby steps closer.

Today the goal was to open 10 people, either a group containing women or women alone.

I hit the bus feeling not fantastic but I was high on the theaine and caffeine from a good cup of Earls Grey tea combined with a huge meal of brown rice and white fish plus some eggs. Everything guaranteed to stay awake, alert, not hungry and with a good breath. The less excuses I can have the better. Am I hungry? No. Am I sleepy? No. Am I dirty? no, and i just cut my hair. Do I smell good? Hell yeah.

Hit a bar with my wing not drinking. I love those bars where you aren't obligated to buy anything. Now to open 5 people here. I don't remember the first 4 but they were probably pretty shit. At this time I had something like approach anxiety - I didn't feel the actual anxiety feeling but something was definitely stopping me thats why they were so bad.

Approach #4

I was procrastinating my wing for 5-8 minutes before I did an approach simply asking where to find a good night club here. My wing and his mate was slapping me in my face for being such a pussy. I knew logically everything was perfect for the approach. But I kept procrastinating actually without any excuse for not approaching whatsoever. Finally as we were about to leave for another place I opened a set - that is, attempted. I asked them where to find a disco around here where you could buy coffee. They didn't understand everything I said but I tried to stay there as long as I could. The whole interaction lasted what I imagine to be a minute then I left because of communication issues.

Problem: Was nervous. Didn't appear super confident. I did not shit myself with them either, I smiled with them and walked away with my testicles still intact.

Approach #6

Was standing in the lobby of a disco and I opened a group of 2-3 people with a nice blonde in it. One of the males wasn't interested in talking at all so he dropped out, leaving the two of them facing me.

Practiced respecting the male genuinely wanting his opinion. Practiced introducing my wing to them in a good way. Transistioning from the opener to a new topic, and changing topics all the time. Telling them my story. Introductions and how they know each other. After speaking to them for maybe 10 minutes I felt I should have been a bit more relaxed with them and that I was tired of speaking to them, so I said I had to find my friend again. Very good set tho.

#7

I was nervous again. Tried to open a set asking about man bags. It went something like this:

-Hey guys I have to ask because me and my friend were talking about this and I point at him but the motherfucked had disappeared leaving me to point nowhere.

Some of them went like HUH. So I had to repeat this to them. Then I asked do you know what man bags are, and I asked this individually to the people. Bad bad bad.

Then I eneded up speaking to one of the guys about it while one of the girls went like fuck this guy we are moving on and the entire set moved away from me. Except that one guy I managed to speak to about man bags.

#8

Tried to open a set asking what they were standing next to (the toilet) but only got the attention of one of the dudes. I tried.

#10

This time I went in for the apocalypse opener. So I got my wing to carry my purple/blue leather jacket because its too flamboyant. Went all chilled out in my normal white v-shirt and approached the first girl I could see standing alone

Hi, hows it going?
-OK (whatever she was saying)

Cool. What are you doing?
-Waiting for my friend.

Nice. Do you want to go home with me after?
Her- I don't remember what she replied.

After that I just chilled out for a few seconds, just feeling alright. I proceeded to talk about how I cut my own hair today and it wasn't shit. But then I left her after a minute or two. Shit, I forgot you had to wait 10 minutes with this opener.

Approach #11

I was walking down the street towards home when I got a text from a Mexican girl on Facebook in Spanish. Right after that I noticed two girls who were walking the opposite direction. As soon as they reached me I asked "Do you guys speak Spanish… I mean just a little Spanish". I stood there holding my cell with the straight back and I casually showed them the Facebook conversation on the phone with me and the Chica. The hot girl showed huge IOIs/assumptions about me, because right after I had asked she ran up to me (me not leaning forward) standing just a few centimeters away from my face. She asked me if it was for getting some. I told her and the other girl I had never bothered to learn German either. The other girl left for a few secs down the street realizing her friend liked me or for some other reason.

So I spoke to her about the Mexican girl being in Las Vegas right now. Next thing I ended up saying I wanted to kiss her on the cheek and I did. After I think she was going with her friend and I said something like.. If you will remember me I wanna take you out …. tomorrow. She said no you can't have my number because of my boyfriend.
Said something else to her while I was holding her hand and said you know what now I really wanna kiss you. She said her boyfriend was over there and pissed off because she drank the last shot. I laughed at this and said okay, then you have to give me a high five next time you see me. I let go of her hand and she gave a high five.

I did not give out a huge smile during opening. I actually opened them kind of disinterested but negative. As I was actually about to leave. Damn. Indirect works when you actually mean it.


WRAP UP


The most important thing I felt I practiced today was being introduced as a wing and introducing my wing. I love the feeling of confidence when you "bump" into your wing and he has opened two girls and you are introduced as the crazy guy who did XXX. At first we did this awkwardly but we are better than when we started.

I admit I still feel a bit funny, maybe I could have done more or something. I could have been more crazy. But it will come. It took a LOT of approaches for my day game approaches to become not utter shit. I realize I hate opening indirect with canned material. I guess I am afraid of being called out on it. But like the last set when I use indirect and truly mean it everything works out great. But I also know a lot of guys have whined about indirect game, and Style/whatever coach says just STFU and do it, don't worry about it. So… I will try more.


Did I have less problems with drunk people? Yep.
Did I do something outside my comfort zone? Yep.
Did I do better than yesterday? Yes.

Forgot to mention I disqualified the hot babe in the last approach when she said what her name was. It was X so I told her a funny leader of men story of a gay guy who had a similar name, and who I decided would do the dishes. She liked it. This was after she didn't wanna kiss me.
