I have a very good friend named Elev8 who, quite frankly, gets more vagina then a toilet seat.  We frequently talk on the phone for great lengths of time and often the topic will come to women and game, in this last conversation we were able to break down something very interesting that he does.  Now sometimes we have our differences in game but this fits perfectly with my own style so I’d like to share it all with you.

The question’s that came up was how do you know the right way to go in?  Should it be direct or indirect? How do you calibrate? ect ect  The answer that we came up with turned into a systematic approach on how to always open the best way possible based on calibrating to the girl.

First let’s take a look at day game.  You see the girl there and want to go in but what’s the best way to go about it.  The most normal and calibrated way would be by using a functional opener.  A functional opener is anything that is very low commitment and perfectly acceptable to ask such as “Do you know where there’s a restaurant?” or “My phone isn’t working, would you happen to know the time?”

What this does is it allows you to simply begin a conversation without any risk and to feel the girl out.  While we’re talking to her and while she’s answering we then gauge the girl and calibrate.  If she’s very receptive with a big smile, turning fully towards you, blushing slightly, or seems to be somewhat attracted from the beginning then the next thing you do can be completely direct.  “Thanks so much, I have to be honest though the real reason I came over here was because I liked your look and wanted to introduce myself.  I’m Psych and you are?”  HOW to go direct the right way is based upon calibrating correctly to the type of girl and figuring what type of direct line would work best for that type.  If you feel you don’t have immediate interest though then you should go indirect.  Again there’s many types of ways to go indirect and it always depends on calibrating to the type of girl again.

Now lets take a look at night game…

For night game it’s pretty much the same thing however we have to take into account the group and energy levels.  In order to not make this to complex though lets stick to the same format.  We go in with a functional opener then assess the situation and calibrate.  If we feel that direct may work and she’s instantly interested then we simply go direct again and run normal game from there.  Also understand that going in direct does NOT mean using direct game!  I can go direct then play the EXACT same type of game I would do with indirect.  The only difference is my intentions are clear which can simultaneously work for and against you in many ways (might describe those in a future post).  However lets say we feel direct wont work for night game, which IMO is usually the case, then we have to go indirect after our functional opener.  The only difference here though is I have the luxury of leaving and re-opening the set which I usually don’t have for day game.  This idea of opening, leaving, and re-opening has been called many things from short setting, working the room, pre-opening, Multiple Interaction Attraction, or the psychology term called the mere exposure effect.  However there’s a correct way to do this and a wrong way to do this, just as there are the right kind of indirect openers and wrong kinds which is what I break down in detail during every bootcamp I do.

As with everything in pick up I strongly believe in the power of simplicity.  So since you now understand the mechanics of this lets make a simple guide to follow to ensure the best success possible.  The guide is go in functional, assess the situation and calibrate, then decide whether it’s best to now go direct or stay indirect.  Now do I use this exact guide every time?  No, but that’s because I have enough experience to know when to change things.  Remember this is a GUIDE not a RULE, so always do your own social experiments and try new things.  However in most situations this is probably the best way to go about it that I’ve seen.

Hope this helps,

Psych

    WOW what an amazing post…I mean you have opened my eyes with your killer technique…Day game-Night game. You are the promised one psych…with your help no one could ever fail!!!

  2. Jo-Wilfred says:

    Oh and just to clarify I was being sarcastic in the above post!! Honestly do these wannabe PUA’s really expect us to buy this BS…I mean I could have written the above post in 3 minutes, you don’t need great insight into the psychology of women or have slept with thousands of women to provide the advice psych provides. The quality of the posts on this blog are getting weaker by the day…Think Gambler needs to look at the standard of his PUA trainers and re-evaluate!!

    Jo-Wilfred: Obviously, the author chose to gear his post for beginners. Since you are apparently an advanced pick-up artist, you have the right to be disappointed that you did not find the high-level material that you were hoping for.

    But before you attack the author individually, I would suggest that you first consult one of the gurus who supported his winning the Best New Pick-up Artist of 2008, or one of the many insanely hot women he has slept with, or perhaps one of the dozens of students whose lives have been permanently enhanced by his teaching. THEN you can write to Gambler about the “standard of his PUA trainers”.

    Very interesting, thanks :)

  5. sell my car says:

    Hmmm. Its very impressive description about such games with women. I like your detailing.

  6. Its very interesting and very impressive. thanks for this detail.

  7. wizard says:

    i noticed that i learn from rather disagreeable experiences.

    just like the most confident children learn from conflict and disagreeable experiences VERY early on in life.

    but its a worry cause i feel like i have too many disagreeable experiences and not enough satisfying experiences.

    but usually its a case of YEP i been through that! now i dont have to worry!

  8. wizard says:

    and plus from what i have observed the most alpha people tend to emerge out of endless problems. rather than the quick and easy transformation fantasy.

    and i think real transformation is slow and painful.

  9. wizard says:

    also i read some conversations this author had with this famous psychotherapist:

    he goes:

    do you ever fail?

    and he goes:

    oh yes, ive had many disagreeable experiences.

    or something along those lines.

  10. wizard says:

    so basically the more disastrously i fail previously the easier everything else seems since it isnt as disastrously bad as before.

  11. sell my car says:

    I think your friends seems expert in reading the mind of girls.

  12. hum says:

    i feel like im spending too much money on products and not actually really getting anywhere.

  13. hum says:

    despite the cheery fairy tale observations of others about PUA ive yet to be impressed by the ‘reality’ of it.

  14. Jo-Wilfred says:

    @Hum don’t spend another red cent on products. Go out with your mates to a club/bar which has a good male:female ratio and just start talking to girls, there surprisingly friendly and do like being approached, no matter what they might say. You don’t need to attend a seminar or by expensive audio books to tell you that. Being a PUA/Alpha isn’t about tricking girls into bed, but knowing your goals/targets in life and achieving them. Gilrs will place facades/shields to test you but if you maintain high standards in your life you can pass these quite easily. So pls lets not big up these con artists/wannabe PUA’s

  15. your friends seems expert in reading the mind of girls.
