Introduction
This is a carefully curated list of places in the Melbourne CBD where you can approach women during the day. The datasheet is based on my personal experiences living in the CBD from 2016-2017, weighted more heavily towards the second half of 2017.
My opinion is that Woolworths Melbourne Central (Metro) and the Professors Walk Cafe at the University of Melbourne (during University Semesters) are the best daygame venues in the Melbourne CBD. This is because of the consistent high turnover rate (and hence quantity) of solo girls 5/10 and above, and the logistical setup making it very easy/natural to open/approach girls. We know game is a numbers game and hence these venues allow you to approach a large quantity of girls in a short amount of time. I have included other venues for the sake of variety and in the event that these venues become saturated with men (wink). The venues are as follows:
Venues
University of Melbourne
Overall Thoughts:
The University is the most reliable area to meet younger girls aged 18-24. However, this age group is incredibly difficult to meet up with at a later date and generally unreceptive to cold approach, particularly local (Australian) girls. With this in mind I recommend targeting foreign girls like undergraduate exchange students or phD students if you are cold approaching. If you have the time, it is more profitable to build up a social circle by taking part in university parties/events and joining a society. On a side note, I believe there is a potentially untapped market for campus staff aged 30 and up if you’re into older ladies.

TL;DR: How to choose the best daygame venue in the Melbourne CBD:
* I define passive daygame as reading a book or doing work on your laptop in a café/library and only approaching when you see a target nearby. In contrast, proactive daygame (ie if you said ‘no’ to the passive daygame) is where you walk around until you find a target to open.
** The University of Melbourne university semester for undergraduate students generally runs from February-May and July-October.

Professors Walk Café
Average Quality: 5-6.5/10
Recommendation:
- The logistical setup is perfect. Sit next to the area where customers wait for drinks (there are two seated areas that fit this criteria). Open targets that stand close to you while waiting for their drink.
- Otherwise when a girl you like is near the water refill station go get a glass and casually open her.
- You essentially have access to all girls that enter this venue using the tactic aforementioned, and the turnover rate is incredibly high. Staff play music that makes it difficult for people to eavesdrop on your conversation if that is something that bothers you. My top pick for passive daygame during university semesters. I love this place.
Average Quality: 5-6/10
Recommendation:
- Sit in the open area next to the foyer/automatic doors on the G Floor. From there you have two options. You have a view of the open foyer (where the water fountain and vending machine is) so you can leave your spot temporarily and go over and open, or you can wait for a girl you like to sit near you or sit next to a girl you like (you are sitting in an area with a high turnover).
- It is a communal area conducive to conversation as opposed to the quiet areas (it is a library) where a girl might feel less comfortable to hold a conversation with you.
Gym
Average Quality: 5-7/10
Recommendation:
- Move yourself to the stretching stations and/or the area near the upstairs cubby holes where people put their belongings. If you are near the cubby holes approach girls as they are packing up to leave.
- Otherwise ask whether you can use the machine she is on in between sets.
Arts West Library
Average Quality: 5-7/10
Recommendations:
- Walk around the entire library before choosing to sit down and unpack your stuff. Quantity not as reliable as Bailieu library.
- Spontaneous approach is very important here and you might find poor quality in the normal study spots but hot girls randomly appearing. Be prepared to approach random hot girls going up/down the stairs and on the numerous benches outside the library.

- Union House: Sandwich Shop Opposite Boost, Foodcourt, Microwave area
- Misc: Tsubu bar, Smoking areas near the science and math building/tram stop
CBD and surrounds
Woolworths Melbourne Central (Metro):
Average Quality: 5-6/10
Recommendations:
- Walk around the whole supermaket until you find a girl you like. If you want to camp out and wait for targets to appear, I have found the coffee section experiences heavy traffic flow during peak periods. I think this partly because it is part of a route most people will past through to get to the frozen goods/to the checkouts. I wouldn't stress to much about where to go though, as each aisle is quite narrow (making it a natural botleneck and brings you easily within talking distance naturally just by standing there. The section with the highest quality is the toiletries section.
- The turnover of this particular branch of Woolworths is absolutely incredible. If you have an hour to spare, you can literally stay in same spot during peak times and open a girl 5/10 or over every 5-20 minutes, with a low risk of running into the same girl you opened earlier. Just keep your eyes peeled in the event she backtracks and wait a little bit before opening the next girl.
Average Quality: 5-6/10
Recommendations:
- Like the Bailieu library above, stick to the ground floor (same floor where you enter) main open study area where there you can talk and there is a high turnover of girls. Sit next to or near the most attractive girl. You will need to bring some work to do or a book/laptop to pass time. I like this area of the State Library because if the girl is young, I will guarantee you that she is a bored foreign girl looking to use free wifi.
- On the weekends you get jailbait here and there diligently working on an assignment if that is your thing.
- If you don’t want to stay in one place to game check out the floor above ground, check out the mini art gallery on the 1st floor. Again, if the girl is looking at the art she isn’t from Melbourne and likely more open to cold approach if you got your fundamentals right.
- There are also ample opportunities to open girls sitting in the ground floor foyer (reception area next to the Readings bookshop), benches outside the library, and on the steps around the building near the giant chess set.
Recommendations:
- I have listed these stops as you will most likely pass these stops and there are often many targets around. I don’t advise you to camp out there as girls are likely to leave before you can get a decent conversation in, but there is a chance you may be catching the same tram. This gives you an opportunity to prolong the conversation after you open her at the stop.
Recommendations:
- There isn’t really one area that sucks up the hottest girls. You will just have to do some reconnaissance. Most of the girls here tend to be in their late 20s and up if that’s your thing. Also, keep an eye out for a wedding ring.
- Woolworths Swanston Street (Metro)
- Souvenir shops (there are about 3 on Swanston St)
- ‘Free books’ library in Melbourne Central next to Puma
- Melbourne City library
- Bourke St Mall, the benches/steps outside Myer and H&M (masses of female employees in retail on their work break)
- Emporium Foodcourt (top floor and basement floor)
- RMIT campus and surrounds
- Bike racks around the city
- Typo (Emporium)
- Arthur Daley’s On Swanston Street
- The Reject Shop
QV Centre
Big W:
Average Quality: 5-6/10
Recommendations: Do a quick walk around the area but approachable quantity is generally quite poor. I'd only come here for a bit of variety. It is also a large store to navigate.
Woolworths:
Average Quality: 5-6.5/10
Recommendations: Go to Woolworths Melbourne Central (Metro) instead, unless you’re in QV for whatever reason.
Other Venues:
- Daiso
- Officeworks
Federation Square
Recommendations:
- Approach girls sitting higher up on the steps, more nested within Fed Square. These girls are more likely to be foreigners, just hanging out, and open to approach. If you approach girls on the periphery, ie near the tram stop/closer to the road they are most likely waiting to meet someone.
- Quality is only good in Summer, although the only issue is that it can get quite hot and may require sunglasses. I think it is better to approach a girl where she can see your eyes though.
Accompanying thoughts:
- The CBD is a very multicultural place and while there is quality to be had you have to visually sift through a lot of Asian FOBs. If Asians are your thing you are in for a treat. If you follow my advice above, you should be fine.
- This leads to my next point - when rating the average quality of girls for each venue I am assuming the general reader prefers girls in the 18-24 range but are open to women in the their late 20s and 30s. I also assume you primarily like white girls.
- It may be worth exploring the North and Southside for better quality. Average quality in the CBD generally isn’t that great, and I was only frequenting the CBD area due to my situation at the time. In the CBD I think the most attractive girls during the day are to be found in Emporium, but even then, they aren't anything to write home about.
- Girls are definitely hotter in in the summer months.
- Be mentally prepared to approach anywhere, as there will be times when random hot girls appear in random places that I didn’t list in this datasheet. Examples include street game venues and public transport game venues. This post will become too long if I go into street and public transport game, but to give you an idea, random parts of Swanston Street and trams/trains are a good example of where approach opportunties present themselves.
- The cold approach style I used at these venues was indirect.
All the best.
