I have been in the game for nearly a year and a half, and have learned some lessons that every man needs to know, and the so-called "gurus" don't talk about. Some of this goes against conventional PUA wisdom. Roosh, your tactics have brought me immense success (150+ girls in said time period... No clue what my real count is since I picked up the book Rules of the Game and started reading your page). However, I have had to make SERIOUS adaptations to the game in order to skirt around the deep-seeded cultural hatred of good looking men.
Keep in mind, if you are very handsome, everyone hates you. If you are not, you are under the radar and not deemed a threat. The way is open to employ standard approach tactics. Roosh is a master of indirect game. Follow him and Style and your life will be amazing.
If you ARE, read on for help. You need to use different tactics to overcome your obstacles.
1) Forget approaching mixed groups as a group. Even if you first acknowledge the males, they still are on the defensive because they feel inferior. Men judge based on looks. This includes each other. Instead, observe a target group and, if you choose to infiltrate the group, engage any female member in isolation. Do not give any strong IOIs. Just a mild flirtation to elicit a laugh and a smile. She will make introductions
2) Girls are FAR more guarded against good-looking men, because they have been played a zillion times. You have to be different. Remind yourself that your looks are the least of your assets, and play your cards accordingly. Career accomplishments, intellectual pursuits, hobbies, etc are good topics. You can throw a couple compliments her way, but make sure they are not generic. Anything she says about your looks, thank her, but brush it off in a witty way, making her sound somewhat shallow, but it's okay, you forgive her.
3) Good looks are initially a DLV. BIG TIME. Modern culture degrades men of above average looks by accusing them of being "douchebags" and having nothing else going for them. You must remember to adopt the attitude of being COMPLETELY over your looks. They are the least of your assets. When you are over your looks, she will get over them faster, and start seeing them as a positive attribute, rather than an indicator of idiocy.
4) Easy on the negs! Everyone thinks you are going to be a dickhead, and she is going to feel somewhat insecure. Neg only on behaviors in order to make her laugh at herself a bit.
5) Female wings are good if you are with a group. Just one female companion looks like a date. I have female friends who have studied pickup art. They are awesome, but they are also pretty. I bring a group, we all get laid. I bring one, we end up going home together (not a bad thing, but it wasn't the point of the night).
6) Everyone is watching you. You have to be picky. You will get a bad rep in the blink of an eye. There is a website called TheDirty.com it is a site on which people are bashed for being sleazy. We are PUAs. We are basically man-whores. We are sleazy. Don't get caught.
