10 Ways to Improve Your Game Without Opening
 

This is written mainly for newbies starting out, but could be useful for anyone who has not thought about it. It is not written as an excuse not to open sets, more as some things to do in your day to day to life which will help when you do come to open sets. If any of you disagree or have things to add feel free to chip in.

1) Eye Contact. Start forcing yourself to make eye contact with everyone you meet and walk past. Most people will break before you do and you'll surprise yourself how many people are willing make nice eye contact with you.

2) Kino. Get into a habit of shaking peoples hands, giving out high fives, and touching arms to emphasis points. This can be anyone.

3) Voice Projection. When you see a friend or someone you would normal normally say "Hey, Hows it going" to, practise projecting your voice louder. Use you diaphragm and push out more air. Check after whether you thought it was clear enough, decisive and your pitch was good, pace was right ect.

4) Unleash your awesomeness. See how you can generally make interactions with friends more fun, silly games, ridiculous conversations, impressions, whatever amuses you (not what you think will amuse others). See if you can start directing conversations to be uplifting and positive, it will come in handy and people will warm to you more.

5) Smile. simple really, just start smiling at people all the time, it's contagious.

6) Spark positive conversations. With shopkeepers, bouncers, secretaries anyone you might not normally get chatting to, be bold ask real questions and introduce yourself.

7) Talk to charity fund-raisers. This is amazing fun. Just try it and you'll see what I mean, play about with them, tell them your not interested in giving them money but you'll sit and chat for 10 minutes, they will love it and you can bounce all sorts of weird shit of them. Tell them you'll answer one their questions if they answer one of yours. Also this will put you in great state if you wanna do some daytime game straight after.

8) Say no to negativity. Stop yourself before you say something negative, rephrase it to be positive or just ignore it and think of something else.

9) Dismiss your self criticisms and excuses. Every time time you say to yourself in your head, I can't do this or give yourself an excuse for not doing something. Laugh at it and say "fuck that I'm doing it cos I'm awesome".

10) Stop giving a fuck what anyone thinks of you or might think. It is completely irrelevant and detrimental, only give a shit of what you think of yourself.

Hope this is useful to someone, I've started doing all of these things and I am generally happier, more confident and having a great time. Form these habits and you should see your game improve with rapid pace.

*Just realised this is in the wrong section can someone move, when they get the chance, cheers :)

Great post lots of great stuff in there, for life in general

Just thought of another really good one:

11. Express your full range of emotions with confidence, people will respect you for it and chicks dig it.

Good stuff.

Yeah, some good points man! I’ve started trying to do the ‘girl of the day’ whilst I’m out and about. It’s a pickup 101 thing I think, but I’m just using it to try lower my AA a bit and get used to day game. What you do is when you see that one girl that’s like wow.. you just approach her and see what happens. If you see a hotter girl after, you start again to beat yourself!


I’ve done it the past couple of days and it’s sometimes a bit sketchy, but I feel more comfortable approaching. They say you should just tell her straight that she’s cute but I’m still working it all out so I’m trying stuff like asking for directions and commenting on the surroundings (short and sweet). You can’t lie to yourself either so when you miss the girl of the day and get home it makes you twice as motivated to get her the day after.


It’s kind of an open and the posts about what you can do to improve without opening but I hope it’s useful.

good stuff, taken from Tims's transformations tho yeah?

A lot of it is talked about in Transformations, also the took some bits from Blueprint - but ye very RSD influenced :)

Thx a lot :)

Great post and if you force yourself to do all that regular, to everyone you meet, not just the pretty girl with the nice tits, you'll naturally be more confident.

Number 7 is amazing advice.

I've done this myself with great success, They can be found on any busy high street they are usually hired for there looks. Just talk to one as the OP says make it clear you're not going to set up a DD. I opened with I felt sorry for her, figured if people see us talking, it help her get more interest. The important part is to break her charity selling programming becuase she's going to want to steer the conversation back to the charity. If you can get a number out of a charity girl, you can progress to stripper game.

Good advice, really like number 7! I normally try to avoid "charity bandits" but find that if I make eye contact with a good looking one, they normally snag me into talkng to them. I'll look forward to it in future, but how do I aproach the situation to make sure I'm in control of it not her?
