Just moved back to dc and thinking about really getting into the game. I've read the books in the past and have a pretty good background in the stuff...but I'm a total keyboard jockey. How do i get over the AA? I'm thinking about going out tonight and trying to open some chicks for the first time. This whole deal has just kinda hit me lately. I want to be a selecter of women - not some guy who takes whats thrown his way. I do alright with girls, but i've never been the guy that goes out and gets what he wants. I usually meet girls because of some connection or they come after me. This leads to long ass dry spells. I'm pretty picky and maybe im trying to bat out of my leauge. But i want to live my life knowing that the girl im banging - im banging her because she is what i wanted not because she is the only thing i have at the moment. I see that as emotional and personal freedom. If i can find that place in life - i think it would be awesome.

SO anyways. As a newbie - what do you suggest i do tonight to get started? Do you have any basic opener that you used when you started out that kept it simple? Roosh ive read your openers and your entry about guys obsessing about what to say and how that's not really important - but anything simple. How was your first night out?

"Thinking about going solo tonight"

Good work. You got the right idea.

Read this Going for Dolo: http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2007/08/goi...-dolo.html

If you really want an opening "line" use this The Greatest Pick up Line of All Time: http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2007/08/gre...-time.html

My best advice though would be to go out Dolo and have fun. Pretend you are from out of town (custom suits help with this) and ask girls questions.

Play the role of the wealthy, handsome, dashing, mysterious guy from out of town picking up on the beautiful, local girl who is looking for more out of life.

Always works for me.

I moved to a new city in a foreign country two years ago and had no choice but to go out alone. Fortunately, I quite often prefer my own company to being with someone else (unless working in tandom with a friend to meet girls). The hardest part of being out alone is not feeling self conscious. If you feel self conscious you will look self conscious and that doesn't look cool.

1) Spend a few nights finding a few good bars all within walking distance of each other (you can then move between them on any given night).
2) Find good locations within each bar to preferable stand and not sit. Somewhere where people are passing you and you have a good view of people entering.
4) Figure out the best time to go out and the best nights.
3) Be careful who you start to befriend in the beginning because later you may feel compelled to speak to them every time you see them which is ok unless they turn out to be knobs. On the other hand, it's good to cultivate knowing a few cool regualars you can chat with.
4) If you can carry it off, develop an air of mystery about yourself. I'm always courteous and polite to the bar staff but I don't try and talk to them.
5) If you have any style, try and dress in a way that makes you stand out from others (in a positive way). You must feel comfortable with what you are wearing else again you will feel too self conscious.

It took me about 10 months before I'd started to meet girls and others in the few bars I chose. It was hard in the beginning. However, I can go out now knowing that it is almost garanteed I'll know someone and can either chat with them or do my own thing. You may have faster results than me but I'm quite discerning about who I want to hang out with.

Good luck
