A Data Sheet for Burning Man

Burning Man 2015

[Image: Xxv6WFH.jpg?2]

Burning Man is an annual festival held in the Black Rock Desert of Northern Nevada. There are no cell phones.

There are amazing art installations, a warm community of people and incredible electronic music shows.

It is also a fantastic place to bang women.


Takeaways:

Vacation mindset. First and most important, everyone at Burning Man is on a vacation mindset. I can’t stress how important this is. Women are more receptive to meeting strangers, to having adventures, to partying for six straight nights, to getting drunk in the middle of the day, to hooking up with someone they met two minutes ago.

Women going out alone. It’s not uncommon for a woman to go to a nightclub by herself. How many bangs have us men here lost because a woman makes up a lame excuse to go back to her friend, or group of friends?

Clothing. Women here can be found wearing lingerie, high skirts, bikini tops and nurse costumes. Nudity is supposed to be a big thing at Burning Man, but there was less than I expected. At night, everyone still dresses well, but they are bundled up in fur because it’s freezing cold.

No cell phones. Did I already mention there were no cell phones? It might be the only place left on Earth where you never have to call or text women. You don’t schedule plans for later. When they leave your sight, you won’t see them again. And that’s okay because of the abundance of women here.

It’s cashless. You pay for nothing. One of my favorite spots was a Mojito bar that was open every afternoon from 1 to 6 pm. They make you drinks for free. I’m not much of a drinker, but I met many women who loved to drink heavily in the middle of the day. [Image: icon_razz.gif]

Follow your instincts. The first few nights I was spending so much time at night approaching women and not seeing any bangs come out of it. I worried that Burning Man would end and I’d miss the chance to see the art at night because I’d be spending all my time approaching women. My instincts were telling me to go see art at night on the playa. So on day five of Burning Man, a Thursday, I spent 10 pm to midnight exploring the art on the playa on my bike. Then after midnight I went out to the clubs. And that’s the night I got the bang.

Moving around. Going to food events, lectures, music shows and workshops throughout the week at Burning Man can open opportunities to meet women on your way there. Explore and approach.

Pace yourself. Tuesday and Friday are slightly slower days. I’m not the kind of person who can go out five nights in a row without paying for it. My advice is to do Sunday, Monday night on, Tuesday off; Wednesday, Thursday night on, Friday off; Saturday on.

Don’t be surprised if women approach you. It happened to me a few times over the week. I’m an average or maybe below-average looking guy so this never, ever happens in real life. For example, I was riding my bike leisurely Saturday afternoon when all of a sudden, I hear a woman’s voice shout at me from her bike, “Hey! How’s your Burning Man going?" I turn my bike around and park it next to hers. She’s cute. Short bob cut blond hair and a very nice face.

Bitch shields. Are practically non-existent. Maybe the alkaline in playa desert dust erodes it. Women are relaxed and receptive.

Capturing a flag. I can’t think of a better place to do it. There are many international women here. A lot from the UK and Commonwealth (Canada, Australia), a lot from Western Europe (France, the Netherlands, Germany) and a decent number from Asia (Japan, Singapore).


Spots to game:

Dayclubs. These are bars serving free alcohol and playing house music that are open usually from noon to 6 pm. It’s like daygame in the sense women are more receptive to your approaches. Everyone is in a good mood. But it’s like night game because there’s dancing, although nobody is dancing too seriously during the day. My favorite dayclubs were DeMentha, Duck Bar and Darwin Fish Tank. This is the best spot to meet girls and their friends and spend some time with them exploring another part of Burning Man.

Street game/bike rack game. I’ve found the two best situations to catch a receptive woman is when she’s parking her bike or walking on the street without a bike. Less ideal is if you see a woman about to get on her bike because she might be on her way to get somewhere.

I was riding my bike once and saw this Nordic looking woman walking by herself, so I stopped my bike in front of her and said, “Excuse me, I just saw you walking there, and I had to stop to tell you that you have an exquisite sense of style.” She smiled, was very obviously flattered. She responded, “but I didn’t even coordinate this on purpose.” OK, sure you didn’t. She asked me in the next sentence if I wanted to join her at a dayclub down the street.

Port-a-potty lines. I really liked chatting with people in the port-a-potty lines. Most port a potties are stacked 20 in a row, so there’s hardly ever a line, but the one near my camp only had three. So you could chat with a woman while you both are in line. Then wait for her to come out and chat with her some more.

Food lines. Lots of camps will do free food. Grilled cheese is especially popular. I think it can be a bit hard to venue change a girl from a food line if you are by yourself. I personally wasn’t successful. But you could try joining up with them. For example, at night I told one girl who was waiting in line for grilled cheese, after a minute of conversation, “So what are you up to tonight, other than looking extremely hot?” She laughed and told me she was with her mom, who was standing over there.

Bike game. This is comparable to street game in real life. Women have momentum and are usually heading somewhere so you’ll have to be big and bold to get her to stop. I hardly ever approached women who were already riding their bikes, but don’t let that dissuade you. You certainly could ride next to her and tell her to stop for a second, you have something you’d like to tell her. Then compliment her, or tell her that she looks like she might be interested in coming to a party you're checking out.


Step-by-step guide:

Opener. The easiest thing to approach with is a genuine compliment. Tell her you think something specific she is wearing. Maybe preface it with, “Excuse me…I bet you’ve already heard this all day today, but the scarf you are wearing looks really good on you.” Follow up by asking where she bought it.

Rapport. Instead of asking the same boring questions which women will ask you such as which camp you’re with or whether this is your first Burning Man, ask her something interesting, “So what made you decide to come to Burning Man?” This will result in a story for you. Make sure you have an interesting answer too. “Now that you’re here, how do you feel?” Tap into her feelings and emotions. She’ll tell you where she’s from, and you can qualify her if you want, “I was thinking of moving there. You know I heard that people from Los Angeles are creative, artistic, you know multifaceted people…Do you think that describes you and your friends back home?”

Venue change. Wherever you meet her, hang out with her there for a little. Tell her you’re going to explore what’s around and bring her with. Sometimes she’ll have something she’s doing with her friends already, and if it feels right to you, join them, using the bike ride over as an opportunity to talk with her. There’s lot of cool shit to see at Burning Man so be open to exploring with her a little.

Moving near your place. After thirty minutes, say this very important line. Don’t make the mistake I made of spending two hours wandering aimlessly with a girl after you met her.

“Hey there’s something cool I want to show you that I think you’d really like. It’s a short bike ride from here.”

For me, the cool spot was a two-story lookout point that involved climbing up a forty foot ladder to get a view of the entire Burning Man city. Or it could be a cool piece of artwork. Near your tent. Or a really comfortable camp lounge area with leather couches. Near your tent. I think you get the idea. Sit with her, wrap your arm around her or whatever kind of touching you do. Then you tell her you’re heading back to your tent and bring her along.

But be careful about the time of day in which you pull her to your tent. Unless you’re camping in an RV or a cool shade structure, your tent will get REALLY HOT during the middle of the day. As I found out around 5 pm one afternoon, bringing a girl back to your tent mid-day can be very uncomfortable for her. So chill out with her nearby at your camp, and wait until the sun is getting lower, maybe just before 7 pm. At night, this isn’t as much of a problem. In fact, the opposite is true, it’s freezing at night, having a naked woman curl up next to you feels really good because it’s so fucking cold.

---

In short, Burning Man is an amazing experience. Like gaming in the real world, there are no guarantees. Lots of women come here with their boyfriends. The ratios of women to men at nightclubs are poor (although I don't have a Roosh-approved photo with blue and pink dots to prove it). But this is balanced out by the fact that a handful of women go out during the day and night alone, and they can’t wait for a guy like you to approach them.

I used to have a coworker who went to the Burning Man every year, he loves it.

One thing I'm curious about, does the BM crowd lean toward the younger or older side, or goes across the entire age spectrum?

CleanSlate,

I talked to three girls one afternoon who could not have been older than 18. They had come to Burning Man with their parents. (As an East Coaster, this seems like a strange event to go to with your parents.) They were flirty.

Overall, I'd say it skews older, meaning girls in their mid/late 20's and early 30's. Most women I met fell into this range. A fair number of cougars as well.

I've posted to the Player's Log / Lounge with one in-depth story on seeing artwork, getting lost and scoring a bang after I had given up.

This sounds amazing. I would go just to escape cell phones for a weekend.

What's the catch OP?

It's hot as fuck, easier to get dehydrated to a point where you get strangely emotional, dust is everywhere, and it's fine grained so you could probably fuck your lungs up without air filtering. Police are fucking everywhere kicking up dust in their obnoxious as fuck SUVs, they also do a ton of undercover operations. There are more police there than actual cities it seems. Everyone is still american, and it's still america, so you won't feel as much 'freedom' as marketed. You kind of feel more free in a 3rd world shit hole in many ways.

It's a harsh environment, it takes a day to get there and back, showering isn't that practical and people definitely skew towards the hippie side of people. And it costs several thousand dollars for supplies.

That said, it's pretty fun! Don't go to get laid, as far as time spent / getting laid ratio, online dating is faster.

I decided it wasn't really worth vacation days, but if I had a more passive or independent income then I would definitely go every year. It's basically a big RV city. The gender balance has been getting worse over the years supposedly?

How do you dress at Burning Man as a guy, I know that sounds kind of like a stupid question, but I'm not about dressing up in funky costumes and most of the pictures I've seen the dudes are wearing some gay homo-erotic looking stuff I'd never wear. Will people act like smug douches if you just dress in your normal clothes?

Edit: I want to add that I have heard a lot of hype and crazy stories about burning man, a lot of people in this corner of NorCal are all about it. It does seem like it could be an easy place to get laid and potentially do some crazy shit, my bro said that if you are lucky enough to go with a hot bi-sexual chick you're pretty much guaranteed a threesome if she's down to make it happen. I bet rolling with a nice supply of "party favors" (coke and molly) would greatly increase one's chances to get laid, although I have heard the amount of cops there has got pretty bad.

Good Data sheet, I've been wondering if one would turn up.

OGNor it will be harder to game in normal clothes. That said, the only thing I've been able come up with and not feel self-conscious about is a kilt. Masculine and shows enough physique to separate me from the typical skin-n-bones festival kids and Dad bodies. Expect bicep and chest rubs/touches from molly'd up gals as long as your body language is open, your smiling, and engaging the people around you.

Disagree with OP on the porta potties - great place to chat, but very few chicks are coming out of those things thinking bout sex.

Figure out a way to shower/wash everyday. Looking clean and trimmed helps me feel good and motivates me to approach. Baby wipes are you friend out there for quick whores baths and getting the dust off (multiple times daily). It's normal to hug as part of an initial introduction on the playa, obviously, keeping that hug going is easier when your relatively clean and smell good.

Lots of goggles/sunglasses out their to avoid the dust. I like to pull their shades down to look in their eyes early in an approach. Instant close kino/eye contact as well a compliance test and to judge their pupils to see if they are rolling.

Serious question, what about the smell? I can't imagine there is adequate hygiene happening when ladies are shitting in porta potties, sweating and not showering.

Americans are dreamers too

No catch. It's like being on a camping trip.

Although this was the first year some people were getting cell service on the desert. I heard AT&T put a temporary tower near camp.

Still, people are good about leaving their phones in their cars. The only cell phone I saw out during the week belonged to a journalist, who was writing a story about the festival for a major US newspaper.

Even chicks go without their cell phones here. [Image: exclamation.gif]

I enjoyed having one week this year without a connection to phones and computers.

As for the other comments, I think the police thing is way overblown. There was actually a surprisingly low number of police I saw for such a large event. I'm used to living in a big city where for any event, there are a million cops.

The only arrest I saw was this guy who had brought his chihuahua to a dayclub tucked in under his arm. When he was nicely asked to go with the Bureau of Land Management people, he started to be ornery and aggressive. I don't usually side with law enforcement, but he deserved to be arrested. You aren't allowed to bring animals. That's one of the few rules in this place. I'm not sure why, I think the playa dust is bad for them. I think there's been a 6x increase in arrests at Burning Man. It went from 7 arrests to 40 arrests...for 70,000 people. All hype.

At Burning Man, drugs are called "candy" and the advice I got beforehand was "Don't buy candy from strangers" and "Buy candy from strangers". The odds are unlikely people camping around you are undercover cops. Be smart and you'll probably be fine.

If you've never been camping, get used to not showering. However, if you camp with a large group of people, there may be showers for you in your camp where you can douse yourself with water and some soap. It's extremely arid with no humidity, you will sweat less and therefore smell less than normal in summer. One girl I slept with licked my ears like crazy, so at least those were clean?

As for outfits, during the day I alternated between two. The first was (mostly) normal summer clothes: a white deep v t-shirt, hiking shorts, hiking boots, white rimmed sunglasses and a flag cape. The second was a black bartender vest I bought at a secondhand store (wore it like a tanktop), black basketball shorts, hiking boots, a crystal necklace someone gifted to me at BM, black sunglasses and a black top hat. I got compliments on this second outfit. Nothing too crazy.

At night it's cold. Fur is popular, although I didn't have any. I bought a beige coat from a vintage clothing store, a leopard hat and a red scarf, all for $60, to go with a sweatshirt, boots and beige hiking pants.
