Direct Day game seems to work in Europe, but how about America?
09-14-2012, 05:05 PM
Every time I see or hear about direct daygame, it's always some player in England or somewhere else in Europe. You rarely hear about someone regularly doing direct game outside of Europe, especially in America.
I've had more success with Indirect daygame than direct daygame here on the eastern coast of the good old USA. I've never left the country though. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed this. Any thoughts?

I'm doing direct day game here in San Diego. I've just passed the beginner stage and hit intermediate. By the time I was in my 300-400th approach I got my first lay from it.
I'm probably at a little under 500 approaches now. I'm starting to get replies from my number closes that are also turning into dates. I love doing daygame. I'm 35 and just went out with this hot 21 year old that I met. If I would have met her at a club/bar I doubt I would have gotten a 5 minute conversation from her.

I do direct day game in SF, and recently started on a regular basis. I've probably done about 100 sets this summer. I definitely feel I do better in day game with girls who would probably blow me out in night game. In my late 30s, and have gotten positive responses and numbers and dates from girls in their early 20s.
I am not really interested in Indirect, although I haven't read Day Game yet. It may work wonders. I just don't feel right going indirect ever, but I guess I'm gonna have to at some point, because indirect works better the bigger the age difference.

I could see that. Europeans like to enjoy the afternoons in the sun.
They don't work 12 hours days like the Americans do.

I don't think direct day game is effective in America. Otherwise veteran players like Roosh and Paul Janka would be big proponents of it.
I know Krauser is a big direct day game guy but read his blog - all his bangs are Eastern European. He spent a month in San Diego and San Francisco and his blog was remarkably silent in that span - didn't get laid once.
American girls have been conditioned to view direct come-ons from "random" men as creepy and cheesy. Direct day game more effective on non-Western girls who have an entirely different mindset and view direct compliments as charming, manly and romantic.

I've been doing Direct Game for ages and get more than sufficient results with it. That's pretty much 99.9% of my approaches. I'm in California. Although I have done indirect approaches here and there (REALLY rare occasions)--with positive results--I find that I feel better not bullshitting around. I'm 37 and I generally go for girls between the ages of 18 - 25...girls that would be considered 8s -10s on the from-1-to-10 scale. I find that Direct gets me massive positive results. Maybe it has to do with congruency.
As Sugar said, Indirect just doesn't interest me. My experience is that women seem to LOVE it when there's no beating around the bush...at least when it's ME not beating around the bush.

This again.... I spent 7 days in Pacific Beach in early December, just after the students had all gone home. There was no-one around to open. I simply haven't put myself to the test in the US.
Jon Matrix did, one of the top London guys (check out the Daygame.com blog from about 2 months ago for his US videos). He did the usual London direct style and told me it works fine but NY is not as good for daygame because it's too much of a sprawl relative to European cities. There's just not enough footfall per hour in any given space.

Broadway on Soho is absolutely endless with girls. Hot ones too.

If there isn't enough foot traffic in NYC, then the rest of America is basically off-limits for direct game.
"relative to London" I should've added
