man, this is a good reminder that there are many ways to skin the cat. video seems legit but this is a lotttt of reads to be making pre-approach. doesn't seem like you can observe all that walking through a venue, would have to watch the group for a bit....pancakemouse wrote: ↑Fri Dec 24, 2021 1:30 amTwo is tough, three is possible. This is the best video I've seen on how to handle groups when rolling solo:
for mixed sets, I don't approach if it's an even number of guys/girls unless one of the guys is obviously gay or i'm getting extreme eye signals. for 1 guy/2 girls or 2 guys/3 girls i throw out a "are we third/fifth wheeling tonight?" with a sympathetic expression as I'm walking by to the odd girl out and go from there if she says yes or starts explaining how they know each other. i don't do this often and my success rate is very low.
I prefer all girl groups, maybe even more so than loners. if it's more than 3 i don't bother meeting everyone and try to turn the one im interested in more outward toward me and then try to get a drink with her.
two is usually tougher from a logistics standpoint. if only one of the girls is single, I would get the number and not bother with it unless the taken friend is actively cheerleading you. sometimes i'll lead them both to one other venue before making the call. even then it can get dicey at the end of the night and the girl could still leave with her friend depending on logistics and 1000 other factors you can't control. i only stay in these sets if the single girl is something special. if both girls are on the prowl, it gets easier (this is personal, and based on personal strengths). I try to start a game of finding the friend a cool/hot guy, make a bunch of cold reads about her type, use all my fuckboy experience/knowledge/bullshit. The chances of the friend being approached by someone passing the looks threshold, esp when she knows her friend has already likely found someone, is pretty high but sometimes i will literally approach guys for the friend lol.
three is easier from a logistics standpoint (if one of the girls leaves with you, the other two can still hang out with each other/go home together) but I have less advantages. I have much more of an intimate lock-in kind of game than "life of the party", so i'm a lot less charismatic especially in a loud venue to the girl standing furthest away from me in a 3 set. I try to DHV for a couple min to the group and then figure out who is the warmest toward me if 2+ are attractive or just turn my target more toward me and figure out logistics/go get a drink
basically I run a neutered safe social guy version of game (non sexual compliments, usually something about style, light teases, gentle cold reads) on the friend(s) if it's a 2-3 girl group so tehy like me and think I'm cool and use every available opportunity to "lock-in" the one I want and figure out logistics.
