Why Night Game Is Dying

RooshV writes,

I went out with my friend on a Friday night, ready to put in work, and this is what I was greeted with instead in multiple bars:

what we have here… is an unfavorable ratio

Severely skewed sex ratios will affect your game. If a bar is 80% men-20% women, that means on average each woman got ego-fluffed by three men before you approached her. You are therefore attempting to open a line of loving communication with a female ego four times as large as it would be in a normal state of nature. That’s an uphill battle, folks. Throw in the expanding and waddling mass of fat chicks, and that 4-to-1 ego-fluffing ratio could jump as high as 8-to-1.

This is why night game is dying. The ratios suck. Either men are restricting their pussy trawling to the night alone, or women are abandoning night venues in droves. Add the demographic cratering of marriage leaving too many single men who lack the creativity and balls to day game descending on bars like migrating wildebeests to watering holes and you’ve got what you see above. Weekend day game, (or weeknight evening game), if nothing else, has the powerful advantage of a sex ratio that more closely aligns with a natural 50-50 split.

On Saturday night I was called the following by four women:

-shady (girl 1)
-douchebag (girl 2)
-creep (girl 2)
-disrespectful (girl 3, girl 4)
-asshole (girl 3)
-dick (girl 4)
-weird (girl 2)
-“I don’t like you” (girl 2)

One girl from the above gave me her number and the other took me to her place.

What a bizarro world for girls to call you names but actually like you.

Despite the horrible ratios, night game still retains one benefit that’s hard to acquire in day game: In nighttime venues, girls respond better to jerkboy charisma, and your odds of closing the deal in the same window of time that you opened the deal are higher. In contrast, it’s advantageous to soft-shoe your jerkitude and cloak your message when you meet girls under the harsh glare of sunlight. But at least you’re not hobbled by beer goggles, dim lighting, or Michelin Woman egos. You can be confident that the girl you meet during the day will look almost as pretty the next morning.

Transitioning As A Game Tactic

Responding to a post about a new game routine called the Imagination Test, commenter tteclod rightfully demurred,

Ross Jeffries has a version of this, but it still has some issues with transition. His approach is a little less awkward, but I’ve yet to read or watch video of any presentation that adequately corrected the underlying transition issues. Anchoring beforehand seems to be key, as well as physical contact and personal grounding and posture. Like so much of game, there’s a big picture and broad set of skills one must develop to avoid the creep label.

The master’s level work I’ve observed evokes remembrance of previous sexual sensations, e.g.: “Have you ever felt a drop of sweat roll down your chest?” and similar remarks. Another easy line is, “Mmm, salty,” with lip licking.

I’m of two minds about transitioning (for example, from a zippy opener to a sexual or conversational vibe). A good transition is a valuable game skill to have, because I have seen men all too often awkwardly broach topics that landed with a thud into social groups (although this happens less often one-on-one). A smooth segue would’ve helped them.

Contrarily, I have also seen “naturals” — men who have a preternatural grasp of social dynamics and how to exploit them — jump from one topic to another without any notable transition to speak of. They simply state with conviction what it is that’s on their minds, and people, especially girls, tend to jump aboard to follow their conversational threads.

As tteclod implied, a lot of what a pickup artist might call “transitioning” is really nonverbal cues that prime a girl to accept the seducer’s verbal tempo. If you have been touching her arm and leg, and slowing your vocal cadence, it won’t feel awkward to transition from asexual neutral chatter to sexualized innuendo.

Ross Jeffries is an advocate of neurolinguistic programming (NLP), which is the science (some would say pseudoscience) of embedding commands and evoking feelings in the listener that are transferred to the speaker, through the use of deceptive language tricks and anchoring. NLP, by its “out there” nature, is particularly susceptible to transitioning miscues, as the types of baiting questions that NLP involves would sound undeniably weird on the ears of a woman you just met.

But for the average man who isn’t running NLP game, transitioning from one mode of discourse, or one topic, to another isn’t difficult. If there was ever a time to be direct, transitioning is it. The answer is to PLOW. Just move from one thought bubble to the next, and if you catch grief from the girl, agree with her like it’s no big deal.

EVE’S TEMPTATION: “This song is listenable, but not danceable.”
GIRL: “That’s out of the blue/weird/random.”
EVE’S TEMPTATION: “Yeah well, that’s me.”

Think of transitioning as basically “re-opening” the girl over and over. You never stop opening a girl until she’s opened herself to you. Yes there’s a chance — a good one if you’re a socially inept nerd — that your chosen topic will be uninteresting to the girl. If that’s happening, stop, and change the subject. The key is to act like you aren’t put-off or butthurt by her lack of interest; that this is just the normal course of events taking shape. Remember, above all else, overconfidence is the heart of game. If you don’t feel awkward, she won’t.

The other technique, besides plowing, is to verbalize your transitions as if you were narrating events as they unfolded. This is the “ironically self-aware” school of seduction. For instance,

EVE’S TEMPTATION: “Well it looks like we’ve reached the point where that story is played out.”
GIRL: [whatever]
EVE’S TEMPTATION: “This is the part where you’re supposed to sit awkwardly while waiting for me to think of another interesting topic.”

Actively uncool “goofball game” can work very well, but it requires a degree of state control and self-assurance that is hard to find in the wild except amongst men who already have their fill of pussy.

A third technique is the one mentioned in the Imagination Test post; you ask a leading question that serves as the springboard into a new, and hopefully more intimate, conversation.

EVE’S TEMPTATION: “You seem like the kind of girl who’s open to new experiences.”
GIRL: “Oh really!”
EVE’S TEMPTATION: “Not that kind of experience. Get your mind out of the gutter. I mean, do you want to learn something about yourself? Check this out… [run routine]”

The point of transitioning is that, as the man, you will have to accept that leading a woman to your desired destination is part of your duty as the proactive sex. Most women won’t make it easy for you, because most women secretly yearn for a man who demands from them some measure of submission.

Additions To The Shit Test Compendium

Shit tests, like boobs, come in all shapes and sizes. But, also like boobs, shit tests all share a basic structure. You won’t ever confuse a boob for a foot, for instance. Similarly, you won’t confuse a shit test for loving affection.

Continuing with the CH series of posts compiling the likely shit tests men will hear often from women into a convenient playabase, a reader offers his noteworthy additions. Editorial comment added at will.

Good day

I wanted to share with you some of the shit tests Ive received lately from women and my effective responses I must add have been very successful.

Are you a player?
Yeah I play alot of guitar, mostly pink floyd, but i like guns’n roses as well. Do you play any instruments ?

This is cutesy. Nothing wrong with that, it can work, but I prefer a more direct, and cockier, angle of approach to this particular shit test, e.g., “Like McDonald’s, billions served.”

Where are all your friends?
Come on sweetie lets grab some drinks and sit over there
or
Didnt know you were that lonely

The second one is decent. That can be reworded many ways. “Why, are you going to steal them?”

Does this work on every girl?
Not the unattractive ones *
or
What is it you are getting your head to believe that im trying to do?

“Only on the cute ones” is better. Your second reply is meh. It sounds a little defensive.

Why dont you buy me a drink?
Are you broke? Aww you poor thing!
or
Why dont you buy me one and I will buy the next round

What is that youre wearing?
This is called clothes, you are wearing them too, youre not the brightest knife in the box are you?
If she follow up with; I mean why are you wearing those clothes? Look away across the room while you make one heavy sigh

The impatient lookaway punctuated by the heavy sigh is a great, all-round shit test nuke.

Why are you so cocky?
Hey if you are so much into cocks I know a better place we can continue this conversation

Be careful with this one. It could blow up in your face if the girl is still qualifying you.

Are you gay?
Go for kiss and grab her tits, if she rejects, smile smerkily [ed: smerkily?] and/or laugh, then say “did that feel gay to you?” This works for all gay comments, what youre wearing looks gay etc.

This is straight up asshole game. Again, high risk, high reward with this one. The girl would have to be somewhat pre-attracted for this pseudo-apocalypse game to work.

You never listen to me
Can you repeat that??
or
Sure Id love a beer

Classics. Shorter version: “What?” “What?” “What?”… until she gets the joke.

You will get tired of me
Keep on saying that and yeah, I will

Come and meet my friends
Are they pretty? lets wait for ten more minutes

Do you find my friend (whatever her name is) attractive?
Oh thats the one with the round ass with long legs and big breasts with the nice smile, of course i dont *sarcasticly* Dismiss every question that will come after this, denying her the right to be in charge of the conversation

You are sleazy
You like it though
or
You are so stuck up I cant even give you a genuine compliment

“You like it” has been around a long time, but it’s always struck me as sounding forced, or like you’re forcing the girl to feel into you. Maybe a better wording (while sticking with the concept) is, “Is that a comment or a request?”

You are weird
You are boring

You are boring
You are weird
or
You are lame

You are Creepy
You are lame

I know some of you readers are scoffing incredulously at these series of calls-and-responses, but there really are aggro chicks who think flirting is the coarse art of getting in a man’s face and insulting him. Any dismissive and amused reply would work with these kinds of girls.

Do I know you?
Dont worry baby you will

See: “You like it” above. My guess: works best on girls who are already in the tingle zone.

Why are you talking to me?
Didnt know there was a no talking policy in this bar, Aaaah youre a librarian, I should have known
or
Because you look like a funny girl

That second line is a great neg. “Does he mean I’m funny looking, or that I look like I have a sense of humor??”

Its boring when its just the two of us hanging together dont you think so?
I agree, but its strange, never experienced this with any of my previous girls

A bit defensive. I would go with “Better step up your game then!” Reframe so that the fault for her boredom lies with her.

I have a boyfriend
I have, wait, three aunts, two grandparents, and at home I have a guitar, this is a fun game, your turn, what else you got?

How many girls have you slept with?
Are you very religious? or I dont think Ive slept with anyone today
If she asks again:
Counting back how far?
Since forever !!??
My memory is poor, dont think I slept with anyone today though *smirk*

These are good.

You are not my type
Are you sure? you seem quite desperate?

Harsh. Man you are hanging around some slores, am I right?

You are too horny
I can imagine youre really good at turning guys off, but seriously dont flatter yourself sweetie

If this dance of romance is in a loud environment, shorter is sweeter. For example, “Don’t flatter yourself.”

You are too direct for me
You are too indirect for me

Have you read the game?
Jeezzes, youre overanalyzing way too much, relax sweetie

You come off as a a little desperate
Easy girls have that effect on me
If she gets pissed: Reeeelaaax pussycat give me a smile (touch her face)

I’m gonna need more background to this conversation. Where, who, when? How much alcohol was involved?

You have a weird sense of humour
I wanted to tell you this other joke, its about my dick, but its too long

Your getting old heh?
Yeah thank god Im a man, Ill age with style

“Still younger than you in woman years.”

Feel free to use these if u like them, I know some of these are versions already used by yourself. Ive invented some new ones. If just some of these can help to educate one desperate male im happy. Im trying to put something back. Thanks.

Every man should have ten ready-to-dare replies for the most common female shit tests he’ll encounter. All women are different, until they’re not, which is often.

Your Daily Game, Condensed

– Any time you’re out ordering chicken with a girl is the perfect time to use the “I’m a breast/leg/dark meat man. Whoa, that’s not what I meant!” line.

– A decent out-of-the-gate neg: Stroll up, look over girl puzzlingly, say “I don’t know if you’re worth a cheesy pick-up line.”

– Women will construe your complaining, however justified, as whining. Frame your complaints as facetious sarcasm instead.

– Watch for any hint that your woman has stopped trying to please you. If her bush is getting hairier, that’s a red flag.

– Holiday departments of stores are great pickup opportunities. “I was told Santa would be here. Have I been lied to my whole life?!”

– Flipping the sexes in classic female flirting is good game. For example: “I bet you say that to all the guys.”

– With women, ‘no’ doesn’t always mean no. However, ‘maybe later’ means no.

– If you’re dropping a girl off at her home and the prospect of sex is fading, ask “Can I use your bathroom?” Get your foot in her door. At least then you have a chance to convert.

– When you meet a girl for a date, look her body up and down. A girl who feels self-conscious will strive for your approval.

– Even if you don’t disagree with a girl, it’s a good habit to say ‘no’ to her on a regular basis. No means yes later.

– If a girl starts going on about how many guys give her attention, a quippy neg is “That must’ve taken a lot of work.”

– Keep the gift-giving to a bare minimum during the first year dating. Set a girl’s expectations low and she’ll always be surprised.

– I like to tell girls I had a weird dream about leaving them without a trace, and ask them, “What does it mean?” Small doses of dread bring big returns in love.

– Make fun of girlstride. You: “Been practicing your grand entrance?” *hand on hip, imitating her attention whore tromp*

– Fidgeting betrays attraction. Maintain your composure. If she fidgets, touch her arm and ask if she’s nervous around you.

– When you make a concession to a girl, exaggerate your sacrifice. A girl likes to feel she’s breaking an intransigent jerk.

– When a girl flexes her crudity muscles as a shit test to get a reaction, make a face of disgust and say “Eww”. Solid neg.

– Whenever you’re at a sticking point with a girl, recall a natural you know. Try to imagine his reaction, and do likewise.

– Guilt inducement can be a game tactic. If a girl acts poorly, say “Hey don’t dump your issues on me. We just met.”

– Take a girl home. Pour a drink. She says, “No thank you”, reply “No, this is for me.” Smile. Huge lubricating neg.

– State control is winking at a girl on the bus, receiving a snarl from her, and then pointing at your other eye and winking with that.

– You’ll know your game is tight when girls ask after sex if they were the best you’ve ever had, rather than the other way around.

– Ankle Bracelet Game.

– “Watching two lesbians make out. Disconcertingly, one has a man’s face and a ScarJo body. I’m torn. Do I feel horny or burning shame?” <– Say this kind of stuff to cute girls. Chicks dig men who leave impressions.

– How to reframe a blowjob: Tell your girl if she gives you a knobber you’ll reward her with longer sex.

– If a girl accuses you of a vice or character flaw, often best reply is to agree. Her nature is to reconsider her judgment.

– After you’ve agreed with her indictment of your character, tell her, “I want to be a better person, but it’s tough.” Chick crack.

– A false step is easily reclaimed with a simple “I meant to do that”.

– Terse charm > loquacious charm > charmlessness.

– Never apologize for the impudence of your package. Men should be slapping the world with their junk.

– Walk and stand as if there was an invisible wire attached to your dick pulling you forward from that focal point.

– Avoid formal dates. Passe, value lowering, & they lengthen time-to-sex. Stick to “I’ll be at [X}, meet me there” formulation.

– The most powerfully intoxicating word a man can say to a woman is “No”.

Gaming Smartass Girls

This is filched from another pickup forum because it so neatly encapsulates the type of attitude you’ll get from smartass girls. CH is, we profess with some pride, well-schooled in the razor-sharp art of parrying smartass chicks; born and bred in a sea of sarcasm n’ snark queens, we have learnt our trade the best way possible: scrotum to ginezone.

Me: Good things come to those who wait.
Her: But greater things come to those who work for it.

How would you guys respond to this?

The BEST game for smartass girls is calling her smartassery and raising it. For example:

Honky Dong: Good things come to those who wait.
Her: But greater things come to those who work for it.
Honky Dong: Try not to break a sweat then.

Smartass girls are one part smart, two parts ass. This kind of escalating play of wits is their Moloko Plus. They require it, they need it, they love it. It’s not hard to do once you crack the code. The trick is to know when to execute the sudden stop and drop the gear into seductive seriousness. This will usually occur around iteration three of the flirtatious exchange. Game newbs make this mistake a lot; they see they’re provoking positive reactions, so they figure “hey, more of a good thing can’t hurt”. But it can. Too much teasing makes jack a predictable clown.

Unpredictability is king. Proper teasing is something most men don’t do, which is why it’s so arousing to women. But something else that even fewer men do is taking the lead on changing the courtship course. Excite a girl with your nofucksgiven banter, then excite her more with a sly fuck given.

Preview Of Krauser’s Daygame Mastery

Krauser is one of a small handful of pickup artists (old skool translation: womanizers) CH respects who are legitimate voices in a wilderness of heavy-handed marketing and shyster phonies. He’s got tight game, avoids hype, keeps it on the level, and his style isn’t overheated histrionics that only appeal to a minority of highly extroverted men. For those who require proof of poonhoundery, Krauser used to post up documentary XXX videos of the girls he was banging, and CH can confirm they were a quality lot. (Probably a good idea he stopped doing that.)

Also, for you “only looks matter” trolls, Krauser is not a Clooney clone. So you can rest easy that his lays are earned by the nimbleness of his tongue than by the twinkle of his bedroom eyes.

Krauser has a new book out — a monster by the looks of it — called Daygame Mastery. Word on the street is that it’s the Encyclopedia Britannica of day game. Quote:

• The vibe chapters explain targeting, cold reading the potential targets, girl archetypes plus their traits and his own take on approach anxiety (which I hadn’t heard before). There’s also some interesting stuff on stateless game rather than getting into state.
• The street chapters cover everything from stopping, body language, subcommunication, tone, different opening methods and his own template on opening. This is further broken down to show how it works. The conversational section is fascinating, it gives examples on advancing with hooks or rapport and then expands further.
• There is a short game/long game segment is fantastic and it could be a book in itself. Instances of text chats are shown and every sent/received text is dissected, the same is done with social media. Krauser shows how to build the most appealing facebook profile and then more real world examples of the chats he’s had and why they have worked.
• The date model is incredible descriptive, detailing everything from how to react if she’s late, venue selection/how to run each venue, types of language/body language to use, physical escalation, when it’s on/not on. It’s like every nuance of this phase has been considered.
• The last segment of the book delves into some special situations such as same day lays, interloping men, frame crush, fine tuning to the girl and dealing with difficult girls, again with examples of each.

There’s no questioning Krauser’s reservoir of game knowledge, and it appears he has stuffed this tome with just about everything he knows. And possibly just about everything anyone knows on the subject.

Be warned, at $100 it’s steeply priced. But it looks worth it. So if you have the loose change, CH gives a (preliminary) recommendation. If you’re one of those men who has tired of night game and the club scene (and if you’re over 25 this likely applies to you), then daygame is where your focus will naturally gravitate. Being able to meet girls in the daytime and capture their interest, is very empowering in the realist sense, not the bitter feminist sense.

A book this exhaustive should be read like one would read a textbook for a class; deliberately and diligently. Take a break from every chapter to apply what you’ve read to the field. One caveat: It’s easy to get caught up regurgitating an endless loop of PUA books while losing sight of the ultimate goal. I suspect a lot of men buy these books with the feeling that the material provides handy excuses to never approach a woman in real life. Maybe you’re one of those men who convinces himself that you’re growing as a player by reading about penetrating insights into female nature and courtship techniques? The books have their place, but don’t let them substitute for actual experience applying the lessons contained therein. You don’t need more than two or three highly regarded resources to learn what you need to know to get started seducing women the way they love to be seduced.

Homeless Helper Game

If you live in a metropolitan region where there’s a nontrivial per capita population of homeless, and you see the same street bums lounging on the same spots of sidewalk on your daily constitutional, you can run what I call Homeless Helper Game.

The concept is simple. Buy your lunch and a little extra, like a pastry. Under pretense of charity, and in full view of some passing cuties, kneel down in front of the bum and hand him the pastry, saying “you look like you could use a bite”. Act like you think no one is watching you (that means no glancing around for approval, unless you can conceal it really well).

The homeless guy of course will be elated. The girls will be wet. No girl, no matter how cynical or corporately manjawed, can resist this display of alpha male generosity. Why alpha male? Because providing charity is alpha; receiving charity is beta, veering into omega territory.

The trick is to spin your insta-DHV into a conversation with one of the passing cuties. Occasionally, a girl will approach you to say she noticed and thought it was a great thing you did. Reply with a faux humble “I didn’t think anyone saw that. Now I’m kind of embarrassed.”

Otherwise, you’ll have to situate yourself near a girl you know witnessed your act of charity, say at a bus stop or pedestrian crossing, and make a show of crumpling up the paper from which you withdrew the pastry you gave to the bum. If she’s at all intrigued, that will be enough to get her talking.

This isn’t a high volume game tactic. There are way more efficient ways to meet women. But it’s a fun addition to your seduction skillset and a great way to spice up an otherwise ordinary stroll. Oh yeah, and you fed a homeless guy, which is better than giving him cash money which will inevitably be spent on liquor.
