Hey guys,
I am kinda in a dilemma right now. Been days gaming for the past 7 to 8 months. Have day gamed in a few countries and gotten fair amount of numbers. Recently, I have learned to better understand cue's of interest from girls and I rarely number close unless I get strong investment from the girl.
So far no problem. My numbers started replying me and I was getting better responses from my NBC's. I saw this improvement during my day game jaunt in Eastern europe. Had a couple of dates and 2 make outs during my vacation, no lays but was happy with my improvement(around 750 sets so far, a beginner and only daygame).
Here is the deal, I live in France and since coming back, I know my game has improved. Calmness,creativity, escalation, leading,plowing. All has gone up a level. I can engage a girl better compared to before. I number closed a couple of girls in the last 2 weeks. All flaked. Not only that, I realized that French girls flak more than any other girl. I did well in Lithuania. Belgrade was horrible for me, but I still managed to get instant dates and numbers(which only some flaked). I don't have looks advantage. I am dark skinned minority living in France for the past 7 years. Some people would say that I am French and you can see more interracial couples in France more than any other country. So I am not gonna put my ethnicity to blame here.
I am confused and wondering.
1) Is this just a hard period and upsets that every day gamers go through?
2) Is there any other french day gamers who can share their experience(I game in Lyon btw, this is a typical french city with lots of local french people)?
3)Or is this just the consequences from all the crimes and terrorisms in France which have lead to difficulty in winning over the trust of a stranger? Like a social collapse.
Dalaran 1991 posted some time ago about how hard gaming in France can be. Yes,you need very tight game here. I know that abundance mentality is vital. But the flakiness I am getting here is absurd(3/20). I rather a girl say to me that she doesn't like me or I look like a piece of shit rather than flaking later.
Nonetheless, I don't see any other guys daygaming in Lyon anymore. The local lair is basically dead. I guess they have all given up after getting very bad results. I seriously think that no 3 is the real reason. Or do the girls here get too much attention elsewhere which makes day game hard.
Bienvenue au jeux mon frere!
Funny, I wouldnt say day game in France is hard, but is certainly different. I would say its pretty rewarding.
I would really recommend you revisit my thread on France. Other French posters have given gold advice here.
As per your problems:
-First, throw anything about race out of the window. I'm Asian, and I know another RVF dark skin who came here and swoop a ONS from day game in the Louvre. So no excuses. Actually being minority in France is much much better than in any other western countries.
-Get used to flaking. US girls merely adopted flaking, French girls were born in it, molded by it. The French are champions in many arts, but they took the art of flaking to perfection, and this applies to both guys and girls.
Adopt the mindset that you can not be flaked on. You are in Lyon, so still a vibrant city. When girls are late I just take my time scouting out the neighborhood, read a book in a café terrasse, chatting up people, or go window shopping. Speaking of which:
-Get your style game in order. I can not stress this enough. I have not perfected gaming in France but I'm pretty damn well sure unless you are in a niche market you will not get laid if you dont dress well. For day game it is much more important because you dont want to be one of the "relou" guys. Dress in a smart casual way with some elegance, as if you just got out of a date in the Louvre (which is in fact what you would be doing if you are day gaming)
Zara gives a good compromise between style and money.
-Careful with being too direct and/or bravado. French girls still respond well to game, but their special brand of feminism render them somewhat condescending toward the bad boy attitude. You must still be an alpha bad boy while being funny and soft-spoken.
-I've discussed gaming here with other RVF and we come to the conclusions that beta guys get laid in Paris, quite often, and this is through social circle game. All the hype about French drama and intrigue are not false. You need to be somehow "vetted". Good thing is, its so easy to combine day game with social circle game in France. Join some organisation, social activities or become a regular at a cafe where you are vetted, etc.
-Girls here are fond of PDA, you should escalate physically more to screen out girls and move things faster.
-Do actually know some of the cultural stuff to talk about with them. I dont think the whole terrorism thing affect day game much. As far as they are concerned French chicks just care about the latest fashion week or if Karine Ferri won Danse avec les stars. You are expected to know this "chick" stuff if you are to day game. They dont give two fucks about how many people died.
Post your approach and game style here in details so we can better help you.
Bon courage,
Thanks for the reply,
[b]For style[/b]: I think I got it tuned up. I dress something like in the link below but I go with a brown leather jacket, bright t-shirt, and black boots.

For game
I have tried Roosh's indirect method. Found out that it doesn't suit my personality. Hence, I tried Krauser's LDM. It worked better for me. I added DHV's with this LDM. My DHV's:
1) My creativity: I can come up with a breezy fictional story quite easily. For example:
"Russian spy- I would say that the way she dresses/walks reminds me of a russian spy who has come all the way to France to save a geeky proffessor, destroy the whole underground mafia with her brute force and take all the money and escape"
I have other examples too, such as outer space journey, vacation to an isolated island, and so on. Basically, I engage in role play to create a fun flirty vibe. Girls I approached have told me that I am creative person and asked if I am a writer. I realized that this is one of my strengths and have started using it more which has helped in my initial conversation starter.
Generally, I tend to do well with girls who are into arts, music, business and engineering(i did engineering too anyway). While I repel of medical, finance and law students. I think the cretive aspects plays a part in this.
2) Travels: I have traveled and visited 20 countries in Europe. I can easily talk about other cultures. I use this quite often telling my experiences visiting other countries, the first time I traveled alone, volunteering and so on.
3) Language : I speak 4 languanges fluently, hence I use it as a DHV. Works amazingly well with girls who are into arts and literature.
4) body language: I can say that by body language is pretty good. I don't move unneccesaryly. I can make good eye contact and pass on that sexual vibe quite easily. My voice is deep and calm.No fidgeting and I stopped folding my hands.
5) Escalation: I do verbal and physical. If she forgets my name or some details about me that I told her, then I would say playfully" I started liking you a bit, but you just broke my heart". I do subtle hair touching, hold her hand after handshake and touch her fingers by looking at her rings and palm reading.
So based on my analysis,(I can be wrong) technically, I direct game. By being direct, I don't mean generic overtly sexual openers, I am good at observing and can immediately spot some authentic things I like about the girl. Her fancy jeweleries, gangster like jacket, shiny shoes, and so on.
Problems :
1) I have learned to better spot differnet genuine interest and attention seeking girls, and am still learning. A girl asking question about me, giving long replies to my questions,giving me compliance, looking at me while I am talking. I take these all as interest. However, I tend to fail at certain shit test:
(a). If a girls says to me that 'I have a bf". I would ignore her or say that "2 is better than 1" or "They call me the bf replacer". No problem with this. However, if she says,"My bf is this or that". I tend to assume that the girl really has bf as she is stating it out involuntarily. Do correct me if I am wrong.
(b) " I don't know you enough" shit test. French girls are experts as this. I have tried ignoring this and continued rambling then trying for the close again. Never works. And I am not talking about 3-5 minutes sets. I am talking about 15-20 minutes sets.
For some reason, girls shit test me like hell or shows no signs of interest(one word reply , no questions asked, looking away). Don't know why. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I get it right. But if I fail even once, she becomes completely uninterested after that. Big headache for me.
(2) As girls tend to flake a lot, I generally push for the instant date nowdays. i will be honest. I have done around 700 sets, no lays so far. 3 make outs(nearly missed out on SDL from these make outs as my game is pretty much below average ), around 30- 40 NBC(Nowdays i rarely ask for numbers unless I see a few signs of interest, but even these flak a lot). I have had 10 dates so far, and the best part or the worst part is that, only 2 of my NBC have come out for dates, the rest were i-dates. This is mostly because of weak text game. But majority of the girl don't even reply to my first text. So can't do much about that.
My text initation : Fun and light, I try to relate to the info she gave to me about her, or something that happened during the initial approach. Based on LDM.
(3) I tend to be very picky with my sets. I do around 10 approaches per session and make sure that they are at least 7's or 8s for me. I am thinking of lowering my expectations but I tend not to be enthuasistic when I approach like that.
(4) Sometimes i feel that I tend to overgame girls.
(5) Knowledge on "chick" stuffs aren't my strong point. It's something I should improve.
Sorry to say this, I not limiting my believe by telling that race plays a role. But it really does, at least for me. Out of those two i-dates I had, one of the girl told me she feels akward when I touch her as she had been harrased during her trip to Sri Lanka. She openly admitted that it's racist and a white guy touching her won't be a problem. Second i-date in Belgrade, the girl told me that a dark guy touching her would lower her status if anyone sees. I was nearly 40 minutes into the date then ejected. Recently, in Lyon a girl refused to give me her number once she found out that I am indian of ethinicity. However, there were girls who had told me that they are into indian guys and that they like me because of it, but the percentage is quite low. Lets say 1 in 100 sets.
Anyway,I still think my game has loop holes. So any advice from u guys would be a pleasure.
