[QUOTE=grimm1111;40437]If I understood you right, your first point is that "chasing" is based on timing. In other words, if you show too much interest too early, that's chasing. I think that's a good point. Kind of like how if a girl doesn't like you, and you push too hard, you're "creepy," but if she does like you, the same actions can be taken, the same words can be said, and she'll love it.
But to say it's ALL timing is incorrect I think. We've all been in a situation where everything is going great, and you get a girl out on a day 2, you get the two of you back to her place, and she "changes her mind."
Or hell, maybe that shit just happens to me.
Anyways, so maybe it'd be better just to say - If interest is not reciprocated, and you are showing interest, it's "chasing." And leave it there[/QUOTE]
If you can read situations quickly and correctly then timing is irrevelant. If your presentation is genuine enough at all times. Then by definition you would never be seen to be 'chasing' in terms of female social rules. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing. You get a free pass to interact and elicit attraction. I am convinced this is how the likes of R. Brand get away with their schtick.
Example:
You see a group of 1 guy + 4 girls. Observe to gague who is with who, some basic detail, etc. Approach and strike up conversation with the guy and isolate your BL so it looks like you are all kinds of into the conversation about baseball, whatever. Speak with clarity and purpose, Cheers the guy, shake hands, make strong, confident gestures, etc.
Because women are so much more socially attuned they will notice and react to your invasion. Because you are playing the social dynamics against them they will have to take it at face value. You get a free pass to 'screen' and on to step B.
[QUOTE=grimm1111;40437]Your second point is to "pick girls who pick you," so to say. I think that's damn right, as long as you're not limiting who you're approaching based on it. Certainly you'll batting average will go up.[/QUOTE]
Step B is where you identify and work the girl/girls who likes you. She will often make it obvious - ask you a Q, touch your arm, etc. Not to say you have to go home with her BUT IMO the best single act you can make in a bar/club is get attraction. Other women see this like a bull sees a red flag.
Think about it. Even if you don't care for the hottie in the group this can parlay. How does anybody else know the context? Could be your buddies. Could be ANYTHING. Other girls will make covert approaches just based on what you did. They will try and get you to 'bounce into' their set. It's very interesting stuff and powerful IMO.
[QUOTE=grimm1111;40437]I think too many guys get in to "game" to avoid rejection. They want to get good so they don't get blown out. That's the worst motive in the world IMO.
Handling rejection is an essential part of the PUA's toolkit. But that said, certainly over time you develop an eye for the girls at the bar who will be open to doing something.
And hell, developing that skill can be a great circus trick. I was at the Loon one time with a few friends, and we had just come from seeing a movie. We were playing a game, where the other guys would write something on a napkin, and you had go open a girl by giving her the napkin with whatever dumb line written on it. A couple guys went, and they lasted a couple seconds, and came back. When it was my turn, since I'm a competitive bastard, I looked around and found the easiest girl in the bar... this older blond woman. You can just sense these things. Anyways, I ended up showboating, and I brought her back to meet everyone, etc.
Then bull run got competitive, and went up to her later and number closed her under my nose... the bastard. Ahh good times.[/QUOTE]
This last part I'm not sure I follow totally. Rejection is just part and parcel. That's a dead horse. Funny you mention it though as I have met those type of guys and it's not pretty at ALL. One I remember meeting in ATL off their board one night (did that a lot on the road - hit up the board and hit venues. Usually just ditching them along the way LOL). He claimed to be good etc. Was a total creepy loser (boy doesn't THAT sound familiar?!). He wanted to go 10/10 on approaches said was his goal. Needless to say we didn't see eye to eye on much. Fool.
I like BradP on this. 2/10 blow out - any less you are not pushing it enough. Feels good actually I like the blow out. Like a breath of fresh air!
I see the point on your Loon example. She was vibing you somehow and so that is why you picked that approach, which also proves my point. It's a great way to bounce around the venue and get good energy. Please tell me if/why you don't it as a general tactic? If you were out on your own this might have been money..
