I can appreciate the "mind-wank" and meta going on in here, but let me just relate as someone who has a self-taught (lots of hard lessons) style of sidewalk game, any-time afternoon-until-last-call + never looks like I am approaching + sniper-vs-shotgun.
Key things that helped me:
- had laid down roots in big city, thus always walked or even ambled with sense of purpose, had some light familiarity with certain venues, but also preferred areas where I knew nobody
- avoid looking like "An Obvious Approach" [do a real approach when my needle is moved, otherwise if need vibes, chat with anyone of any demog, so never seen to be "practicing anything", just existing and speaking up when appropriate]
- if no other opener, situational comment is gold. (i.e. kid selling candy on the train moves through to next car, you make eye contact with girl across the train and ponder "why don't THEY have to post calorie counts like the other franchises do?" in juust enough of a conversational tone that it's clearly to her, but not trying to "only" be to her, i.e. if she ignored it, you still would have uttered it. use eyes to provoke her to giggle and play along)
- my eyes and voice communicate "You already know me, or should know me" overtones with "I may or may not find you worth pursuing" undertones (aka assume the sale)
- i had already felt confident at "out with a girl" and "at my or her place" stages
- "el mech day game hack" mode on life: walk to the home depot, whole foods, bank, the long way through the park, get to meetings early and take the long way home. apply it to nighttime and make your own bar crawl with no outcome dependence and no approach threshold.
- Never Ever offered my name first, and avoided asking hers until she was already hard hooked. if set fizzled, happily exited as if she was someone at a house party I'd bump into again, zero expectation, never asking for number unless we already discussed what we'd do "next Tuesday"
For me my top metric was the MEANINGFUL instadate + next-time-bang. I guess I optimized for that. I'd go inside venues with zero expectations, get into state, and then have the real successes on the sidewalk / subway when there were all kinds of funny little things going on in the city, without loud music to distract.
'Here's a safe strong looking guy cracking a situational remark, I hope he flirts with me too' rather than 'This guy is approaching me'. is the vibe I want her to feel. I could have cracked the remark to nobody in particular, but it's like a plausibly deniable hook point / launch point for me to even follow up "hey you know that was witty as hell!" if she didn't laugh (maybe suits my own deadpan delivery, tune to your personality).
I've read a lot of Krau-krau over his years and agree with a lot of his intellectual framework, and his stance on "daygame is a MIRROR".
A lot of disparity in experiences and stats is having the confidence that IF YOU GET A BITE then what?
Girls bite more than we think when we put in work, and if they can't see us "leveraging" the bite, it instantly exposes that we may not know what is going on further down the road or between the sheets.
Another meta-problem is that if a guy doesn't have "basics" down, i.e.
- being comfortable not just chatting with hot girls but actively flirting AND having no expectation or "need" from them -- see DistantLight's social-circle-from-cold-approach stories)
- being comfortable once on an actual date
- decent sex experience
... if they lack the above, then the fear is that they are leaning on daygame to BE their inner/outer/everything game...
... if they have each of the above to any extent, then they can leverage daygame for it's TRUE BENEFITS (in my opinon):
- best pipeline ever, girls INSTANTLY boner+vibes+scent-approved
- best pre-sell/filter: girl has already experienced my charm in person rather than read what I hornily wrote when downloading some app
- MEET-CUTE: great story if it does not feel like it was "an approach", she and you will be proud to know it wasn't yet another T-date or J-date or OKC-date
- confidence snowballs and compounds incredibly with each success, glow can last for months when new
Again, I feel these benefits are truly realized if daygame is not your "first stop" to "having a sex life" -- one should already have some basics down, some LTR sex, some old school online game experience, decent looks and confidence about lifestyle (i.e. no need to lie or brag).
Edited again to add: if you "gamify" your life such that you are out and about, always chatty and with a smile, and really no expectations, you are in a state to Craft your Own self-tuned curriculum. Don't think guys never "strategized about women" before some perfect storm -- it's simply not true. Yes you have to Do Work, but work smart and selectively, it's not a pure numbers game if you don't stop and consider and hunt more carefully as well.
Great post. Can I ask how old are you? I just want to know how old I can keep doing day game ?
