The following are lessons from a white guy in his mid thirties doing night game in bars over the past few years in Brooklyn N.Y.:
1. Learn how to accept rejection. The women that you approach do not know anything about you. How can you allow their possible rejection affect the way that you feel about yourself? Do not be reactive with your emotions. Once you detect disinterest on their part, immediately bail and look for another. When originally starting out I would leave bars furious that a specific women would not give me attention. Accept that just because you have grown the balls to approach the hottest girl in the bar does not mean that she will be interested in you. Eventually rejection will just be a subtle background noise, instead of the ego crushing blow that it initially is.
2. Learn how to read body language. I recommend the book "The Definitive Book of Body Language" by Allan Pease. Once you master this you will see all face to face interactions in a new light. Its like being granted a new superpower. You will become aware of every touch of the hair, flick of the face, and crossing of the arms.
3. Read Roissy's blog, Roosh's blog, Krauser's blog, the Mystery Method Books, and "God is a Woman" by Ian Colburn. Avoid wasting your money on Paul Janka's online club. Krauser and Roosh offer more insight for much less money.
4. After your initial approach start touching your target almost immediately. Establish that you are comfortable touching her on the back of the shoulders first, then proceed to touching her around the waist. If your body language is congruent she will comply. Most of my successful pickups happen very fast, from 10 to 30 minutes. If it takes hours talking to a girl then you have probably missed several opportunities to escalate kino and you will lose her.
5. Use the commotion in the venue as an excuse to talk very close to her ear. As your mouth will be close to her ear, start to sporadically and gently touch the hair in that area with your lips and cheek. This is the precursor to kissing her. Its ridiculous how easy it is to go from her ear to her mouth. However, avoid extremely loud venues where music is being performed. If she can't hear you, you will be wasting your time.
6.Go out solo. Talk to as many people in the bar as possible. At first the fear of walking into a crowded venue by yourself may seem intimidating. After pushing yourself again and again you will become addicted to the rush of entering a room full of strangers and being able to swim in the deep end all by yourself. Disregard judging people, you are a human talking to other humans. Let those who think that they are cooler, smarter or wittier than you think that. If you are o.k. with yourself, there should be nothing that a stranger can say to affect your emotions.
7. Keep your drink at your waist.
8. If a woman "accidentally" bumps or brushes against you, it is no accident. Jane is trying to get Tarzan's attention.
9. Be the first one to pull away during the first kiss. A guy with restraint will be communicating his lack of neediness and control of the situation. Don't be afraid to literally push her off of you, after you sense her interest in you. Trust me, she will be coming back for more. If you get swept away in the makeout, she will inexplicably drop you and find something else.
10. Don't obsess over your looks. No exercise at the gym is going to make you taller or turn your bald head hairy. Women are not as fixated on beauty for mate selection as men are. She does not want to feel your muscles big boy. If you are trying to improve your looks, money would be better spent on better clothes and shoes than a gym membership.
