Tonight was the first night ever that I rolled solo! I went out in Philadelphia, and once I get enough solo adventures under my belt, I will drop a really good and thorough data sheet on the city. It's hard to make one now because there's several areas with lots of bar activity, and I've been confined to only one area for the majority of my trips into the city. No longer however as I plan to branch out over the entire city (barring the ghetto).
I figured I'd make this thread (like some other members are doing) to document my progress and to serve as motivation to keep doing it. I'm tired but I had some thoughts:
1) I need to go out later. I was unsure of when the bars got busy so I wound up getting into the city via train at about 9:30. It was WAY too early and I wound up in a bunch of bars that had people sitting eating dinner, or just packed with old people. I wandered in and out of bars until I found a decent one with a younger population, but there were still too many people seated and in groups. Plus it gave me too much time to overdrink and waste my money/get drunk. I probably won't get started till about 10:30-11 next time.
2) I need better conversation material. I felt like I was going through the motions during the approaches and I was honestly boring even myself, so I imagine the girls were bored as well. I opened an extremely cute set of friends who responded well, but they left the bar after 5 minutes. I gazed around and noticed that other chicks were giving me eye contact because I was holding court with these two girls (at least 7.5's). I feel like I need to make a bigger impact sooner in order to maximize my memorability. Plus it's loud as fuck and who wants to talk about boring shit in a loud place?
3) Rolling solo is awesome. Seriously. I didn't get as many approaches as I hoped (I actually wound up talking to some other lone wolfs who seemed like they were loosely affiliated with the PU community) but the approaches I did make felt SO good because it was just me. No friends to prop me up. Just me. One girl asked where my friends were and I just said "I don't have any friends" (great line Roosh!) with a cocky smirk. It was funny and I'll probably keep using it. I think I relied too much on pretending I wasn't from around the area, which probably works better during day-game. I need to switch up my material frequently to avoid getting bored with it.
4) Confidence has skyrocketed. Even though tonight was my first baby step into the world of solo night-game, the fact that I held my head high and walked like a boss into bars (which I stumbled upon, I had no real familiarity with the area beforehand) showed me that this lifestyle is definitely for me. I will never be bored at home on a weekend night again.
Off to bed!
