Of course I've just started and you guys are more experienced but I always was under the assumption that you should speak to as many woman as you can in the place/setting (would also portray good social skills). If you are going to set number as a frame I think you should only do that when talking about venues and then you can state time and approx. number of approaches. i.e. go into 5 nightclubs, approach 6 girls and spend 20 mins with each.
As a newbie I think its of major importance to set yourself goals; it gives you something to aim for and accomplish. However, you should be open to the changing environment i.e. how I experience with a Canadian girl that we both just 'clicked' amazingly and I ended up spending most of the trip with her; which of course wasn't the initial plan, but do I regret it?... no.

Also to partly go back to the main question, I think that you shouldn't feel just confined to your own city, go out and explore a little. Sarge on holiday, whatever. I travelled 400 miles to London and ended up meeting that Canadian girl and I'm going to Romania later this year as well as Spain and of course around the UK; opportunities are endless if you make some effort.


**side note**
I've always found that once I've been talking to a set for 5 minutes I will ask something on the lines of "describe yourself in 2 words" ... make a comment about 1 of her 2 words and then say yours. It's a nice transition into a personality test for later on (if you use personality tests that is).

Do yourself a favour. Stop reading about new groundbreaking methods of pulling girls.

PLEASE. just go out, chat to girls... luv em, leave em.

learn your own method through speaking to 1000 women and more. coz all this stuff ur talkin about using is 'sales stuff'.

the crap weight watchers tell fat people about how you don't need to go the gym to be in good shape.

the crap "the secret' tells you about sitting on your sofa praying for something and it will come 'if you truly believe'

pua is no different, you just really want to belive there is a secret killer one line that will make you danny juan de marco.

next time you go out, try spending the night just speaking to girls with absolutely ZERO intend of fucking them,

be cool
ask them about themselves
don't sit chatting all about you...
try have banter.
don't spend your whole night speaking to one girl

You can :

1. use openers if they help u get into it

2. think about how you approach (make it look pretty natural, like you didnt just terminator her from the other side of the room and move in) so sit on a table near girls ETC.

3. Be touchy feely (kino) not hugely, just start with hands, arms (split second touches) you will start to gauge if she is ok with it.

4. Just have a laff.

YOU CANT

1. micro calibrate.

2. DLV DHV

3. sit in 'SET' and be trying to think about PUA books. ( not can u use the word set or sarging, even in ur head.

4. no magic.

5. do not ask if she flosses or brushes.

6. MOst importantly!!! don't be afraid to insult a girl, it took me years to learn the fine line between insulting a girl and being cheeky. (a big smile when u say it helps) so just be blatantly audacious, and over time you will learn how far you can push it.




final note

for me, human contact is the most important part of men/ women interaction

KINO

one thing i always do, tease a girl then throwing in the arm around the shoulder say "im just kiddin" then push them away(playfully), smile"ok your in my comfort zone there" ( or somthing playfull like that all with a big smile on your face). (dat shit works, i blatantly stole that from my mate)

now what happens here is by some strange weird thing, they always move their body back into you, so you end up shoulder to shoulder. I dont know why!! i just know the outcome is always boss, its like some instinct where they had a mans protection a few seconds ago, and they want back in.


PS. make sure the are round the shoulder ends quickly, more like a squeeze than a hug. otherwise u end up with ur arm around her shoulder and it gets uncomfortable fast.

I hear you dude. Need to get out there! Thursday I realised this and the effects it had due to Nova and Sapmi.

Opening is the hardest for me, keeping a conversation going when I want to is easy, I'm quite a big tease really. So sometimes I use openers, sometimes I don't. I think about how I approach, after I've approached otherwise my head fucks me up. Kino is essential for me, though not used all the time because i've been going for lesser girls; all that's changed/ing...

Hahaha your DON'T list I remember the flossing/bushing from Strauss I think. But yeah dude I hear you, throwing all that shit outta the window.
I teasefully insult quite regularly, still learning the boundaries.


I like the KINO you stole from your mate, use that this weekend see what happens.

Cheers dude, had a lot of enlightenment in the community!
