How do you meet women using Karaoke?
Well first, you have to be a music lover or a person who digs music.This will already put you in the right mindset for doing this form of entertainment.
You also have to a bit of a ham because you will be getting up and singing in front of strangers.
Singing or getting up in front of an audience is an excellent way to deal with approach anxiety and other performance issues.
I first began using karaoke for the purpose of dealing with my own approach anxiety. If I got up on stage, I would be able to approach women and that the condition of stage fright was similar to approach anxiety.
Later I found it to be a good way to meet women.
In the beginning, I would go out to the Fort Worth nightclub City Streets and there I would go and meet Bernard who ran the Blue Monkey Karaoke Bar in which I sang.
Bernard had a very outgoing, humorous and sexual personality. He would taunt women while he sung songs.
I remember his rendition of a Pussy Cat Dolls song in which he sang "Don't ya wish your[u] Boyfriend [/u]was hot like me...." etc.
Thursday nights was Ladie's night and they also had a Karaoke Contest that night.
One of the first things that you have to look for is a place to go that has women. It does you little good to be singing to dudes and old people.
Its still good to warm up to a crowd and get used to taking the mic in front of strangers but it does little for actually gaming women.
So the first thing to find out is if women are acually present.
[b]Real KJ's[/b]
Another thing you can do is to get to know the Karaoke Jockey or KJ ....yes they are called KJs!
I know a few of them but the best ones are the more personable ones who will help you in getting on stage and helping you meet people.
Knowing the KJ is like knowing the person in charge. He is the person of authority.
He also gets paid when the crowds come, so bring your friends to the karaoke bar and he'll be on your side.
[b]On Songs[/b]
Songs are kinda tricky. The main thing you have to find is a song that fits your vocal range.
I'm a natural baratone and I have a deep rich kinda voice. I pick songs I can do in that vocal range.
One time I tried "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and it was too high.
Once you have your songs, you need to be able to do them without stumbling through the lyrics. Lyrics can be found online as well as the tunes themselves.
Don't try "Ice Ice Baby" before learning it.
Also don't pick any songs that are sad, downers, mad-at-the-world songs, or songs that put men in a lower position.
Country songs are out unless its upbeat. Metal music doesn't go over too well because its negative. Rock songs are ok if you can get the vocal range.
An example of a good song is SuperFreak by Funk Legend Rick James. Upbeat. High energy. Sexual.
Its about a chick getting picked up.
Women like songs about women getting picked up. They cheer for songs about hot sex. This is basic PUA knowledge. Save "What Might Have Been" or "Enter Sandman" for your own personal collection.
This is just my opinion and experience. It may be that a song like that will work just as you can ask people about dental floss.
[b]The Crowd[/b]
Most of the time you'll have mixed groups and a few two or three sets. As you sit drinking a beer or enjoying someone's performance is to make everyone feel like they're part of a big family.
Get people involved.
An easy opener is "So what are you singing tonight?"
Another thing you do is clap and cheer for the singers. This will help later.
If a hot girl is on stage singing "What Might Have Been" or whatever, just look them in the eye as they sing. Try to focus your attention on them.
When they get off stage, cheer them on and do high fives.
[b]Your Turn[/b]
Ok, we've done the prelimiary work.
1. We know the KJ.
2. We cheered for people on stage.
3. We've opened a few girls or groups off-stage.
When you get up on stage, you have to read the words on the screen while simutaneously being able to connect with the audiance.
Move around and dance. Give eye contract. Get their attention. Smile.
The crowd will sense your energy and your vibe and will sometimes respond to it.
I've had girls get up and dance to my songs and even come up on stage and hug me.
This all comes from eye contact and body language and because I'm up on stage.
The key is to know your song and be able to perform it on cue. Be good at giving women "the eye" and dance a little.
Once you're done, you do a victory lap and high five people. Even if you completely suck, you can still make friends this way. And you look almost like a celebrity.
The point of this and what all this is leading to is [b]rapport[/b].
You want rapport between you and the audience and rapport amongst people with you as the initiator. [b]You're a social connector[/b].
I see guys at the karaoke bar but they are not very social or able to get people to bond. They're quiet and then they get up and sing a killer song. The crowd may like it but they haven't built any rapport.
So the point is rapport.
Once the rapport is built, we can easily mingle into and out of groups. If you are alone they will sometimes adopt you because of your easy-going style.
Its like getting adopted by a tribal group.
Once that happens, its easy to talk to the cute girls. The cuter girls may even have boyfriends with them but its still acceptable because the guys are sometimes gun shy to get up and sing and they see you as an ally. You are fun and people see this.
I don't generally game women with boyfriends present. Instead I use them as even more social proof and talk to other groups.
Sometimes the KJs will come out and mingle and that's a good chance to say hello to them and to perhaps buy them drinks.
The KJ's are good to know as it is like knowing someone in authority. Some of these guys are also players or older players. Its totally cool.
[b]Isolation[/b]
Isolation is about the same as it would be in bar/club game. You can isolate using any number of excuses.
If its a big group, you just ask to borrow the friend. If that seems awkward, you just say you want to show her something cool.
The other thing you can do is bounce to another location or bar. Make sure the place you're going is not a meat market or you might get cockblocked.
It would be like moving from a semi-intimate location of a karaoke bar to the chaotic college bar with lots of competition. Uhhhh...No.
These are some of the things I've discovered so far. I may add to this list so stay tuned.
