So many of you guys are complaining that your social circle sucks. You don’t have many friends. I am not going to explain how to act in order to make new friends.

I’m going to tell you the things YOU NEED TO DO in order to give you the chance to meet new friends.

You have your same ol’ friends that are AFC’s and could give a crap less about meeting hot women.
* Maybe these guys have g/f’s or maybe they are chumps that aren’t
friends w/ very many hot women.
*Maybe these guys are social recluses and hate going to clubs, bars,
and meeting new people.
*Maybe you’ve hung around with these guys for so long that you’ve
exhausted all women in this social circle and everyone knows
everybody else.

Most people meet women through friends or friends of friends. Common knowledge. Few of you guys actually go to bars or clubs with your main goal of PU.

So how do you meet women then ? You don’t. And you know the reason ? Your social circle ! Building a network of friends does the following:

1) increases your chances of meeting hot women
2) Makes it easier to approach these women as friends know them
3) Gives you more of a social life therefore increasing social skills, social proof, etc
4) Makes you become a better person. The more diverse group of people you know, the more it builds character
5) Makes you happier !


So you all are scratching your heads on where you can meet friends, right ? Besides, your all victim to the same routine, day after day. Work / college (whatever you are doing ATM), go home, watch tv, jerk off. You all wonder how to meet new people Its not difficult ! You’re victims of routine. Here’s what you will do.

1) Join a gym. IF you plan on being a PUA, or DJ you must be in shape. Working out gives you confidence. Already joined a gym ? Quit that gym. Go to a new one. You want to start over. The previous guys know how much of a chump you are. You want to start fresh.

Join this gym. You are going 5 days a week, b/c you are basically training one muscle per day, sometimes 2 b/c that’s how u get big ! Hehe, I’m on tangent, sorry. But you are going 5 days a week. Go at the same time everyday. Goal ? Not to meet the same chumps like you who are just getting into it.

YOU WANT TO meet some meatheads, meet guys that have been working out for years. Ask them for tips, talk to them everyday. You WILL see the meatheads (note, by meatheads, I don’t necessarily mean they are dumb, I just use that term to describe guys that are jacked) there everyday b/c they are dedicated. You will develop a relationship with these guys. Compliment them on how great their body looks. This is not gay sh#t. It shows that you recognize the hard work they put in to training. Ask advice, shoot the sh#t. Go to the bars w/ them. Show them what a f#cking cool guy you are. You have now developed a social circle of jacked, gym goers. These guys are fun guys usually. They have friends, potentially lots of hot girl friends. These girls leech as friends b/c meatheads have good bodies. You have one up on these meatheads, you are a DJ. NOW MOVING ON…..

2)
Join an interest group. Not a political interest group. Something
that’s a hobby to you.

For example: I joined a motorcycle club b/c I’ve got a Suzuki GSX-R. Point is, join some sort of a club where you will meet new people.

Like biking ? Join a bike club.
Like tennis ? Join a tennis club, indoor, outdoor, w/e. Tennis always
attracts hot women.
Ever have an interest in billiards ? Join a billiards league.
Join a paintball league.
Join a weekly home poker game (note you can find guys that needs
players and play home poker on the internet, just google search
it). Like gambling ? Go to the casino often (with a regulated
bankroll set aside for gambling, c’mon guys, responsible gambling, I
can do it, you can too). You’ll meet a diverse group of people
here.
Join a softball league. Every league has a free-agents sign up where u
can go for a random team.
Join an adult basketball league.

Those are all the suggestions I’m giving. As you can see, these groups allow you to participate in something you love, while allowing you to meet new people.

Whether you take these guys to be friends is a different story, but these are acquaintances you will use to find hot women. These people in these leagues are guys that like to have fun.

They’re not computer jockeys like you. They enjoy living life. These are the people you want to know.

With such a large social circle, imagine how many hot women you can meet. Imagine how large your network of friends will be.



3) Co-Workers. Particularly good if you just graduated college.

Get a full-time job, you’ll meet new co-workers that just graduated also. Hell, even if you have been there a few years, make friends with your co-workers. Don’t cross the line, as some companies have strict rules.

Point is, invite these people to the bar, or wherever u like going. They are bound to have post-college grad. Friends they are still in touch with. Meet these people w/ help of your co-workers. These people, along with your co-workers are now in your social circle.

Note: it is not difficult to make a broad social circle. Just do the things I’ve said and imagine how broad of a circle you will get. Once you get a big social circle, you’ll be surprised at how quickly you develop great social skills. You will develop confidence. GO to the bars and see how easy it is to meet new people.

GL and increase your circle !

Great post man.

Try to also meet ugly women. Im talking about the c0ckblocking type, they usually have really hot friends, and if you get into their good side they won't mind you banging her friend ;)

****tail Parties

Host ****tail parties.

I have ****tail parties every Friday night. Now, how you format them is up to you, but I have set up a certain structure to keep the scene from getting to be a huge bash.

Everyone must RSVP ahead of time to let me know how many. My max is 7.
Max dudes = 3
Upon RSVP, I tell people what the need to bring: booze, beer, mixers, garnishes, snacks, etc. (people will complain about cost, but just ask them how much they would spend at the bar. $20-$40 is far better than $100-$200.. no brainer)
It is a concrete rule of my parties that once you are there, you are there for the evening - NO DRIVING! So, bring your toilet kit with and sleeping gear.
In the morning, I get up and make everyone espresso drinks and cook breakfast. That way, it adds value to spending the night.

You're the host - set and enforce your own rules. I am adement about respect in my home. I demand that attendees respect my home, me, and my property as well as other attendees. People don't typically get "out of line" because they will not be welcome back.

It has become an institution within my social circles. New people get introduced by friends. Those new friends bring friends. Sometimes, the ****tail parties have a game of poker. Other times, there is a theme (wife-beater night was classic) or another game to be played. That reminds me, I need to buy Twister. But I leave the night open to suggestions and let everyone know that it is what everyone makes it... like a democracy where I'm the president.

It takes time to cultivate, but it's easy to start. Have 6-7 friends? Have a small party. Layout the rules and let them know it will be every Friday or Saturday (depending on holidays, other events, etc.). The key is to keep it small and intimate. Big parties trash your place, p!ss off neighbors, and get cops called.

It gets to be a hobby of sorts. People appreciate having the "backup plan". The party is always at my place if their "going out" plans fall through. I must say, just being the host makes the ladies lust after you - you are the ring leader, the alpha male, and social proof? Oh man... hot times. I can't even tell you how many "hookups" have resulted from people meeting at my ****tail parties. Try it out, your friends will thank you.

:up:
I wish I had somewhere to host a picture. I'd show everyone my "bar". Someone wanna help me out?

Edit: See link below for picture

The problem that I see with shared activities is the fact that you actually need to be good at the activity in order to be welcome in the group. People who take what they do seriously will have zero tolerance for posers, and they rarely have the patience to deal with neophytes, unless you're paying them, in which case they're your teacher and this difference in status tends to rule out any social connection.

Additionally, people who do something hard that few others can will be offended by your preoccupation with them and their activity. They'll see it as disrespectful: trivializing what they do by treating it so lightly by thinking that you can just up and do it too.

If you're going to use an activity to meet people, I'd suggest you make it something that you can take seriously, as well as sticking with people equal to you in ability. People who are ahead of you aren't going to want you around unless they're interested in having an apprentice or in amusing themselves by having you kiss their ass.

Could you describe one of your ****tail parties? How'd the start out (invite over a bunch of friends for the new weekly Friday party at your place), what didn't you have at first, and what do you plan out to keep everything rolling? Seven isn't too bad a number of keeping entertained by yourself, but why did you pick that (prevent bad nights by having a number you can handle, more just makes it impersional...what)?

By the way, check out imageshack.us => I've never had a problem with it for pg-13 pictures

I missed this post before, but there are a couple things I'd point out for you. First, your trainer better be showing up on time - give him one warning, make sure he's aware he needs to show up on time, and let him know if it happens again without warning (and a good reason - emergency, for example) he'll be cut loose. Dealing with people in general follows closely with DJing with chicks; being confident and assertive are key. He should have a greater stake in your continuing to use him than in your needing him to stick around.

What are so special about these night classes? Are you chatting up the class at night - or just sitting through them? College classes are great because there are other people forced to be there with you, but you need to take advantage of it and be the 'life of the class'. Talk with the teacher during class, make jokes, have good eye contact, arrive a bit early and play with the girls in class, etc.

Invite the guy you're playing pool with out somewhere else if you want him as more than just 'the guy you play pool with'. I could say the same of the girl from class, you need to show your confidence and humor during class/pool for it to make a difference. Simply sharing class/pool with them doesn't mean anything. Especially when you saw her out in the bar - she should want to spend time around you at the bar, knowing how awesome you are in class.

people call throughout the week to RSVP
everyone starts showing up around 8pm
we pick out some ****tails to make
we do some shots as a group
someone starts griping about their sh1tty week
I tell them to knock it off 'cuz they're harshing my mellow
someone starts making out with someone
someone suggests we play a drinking game
I suggest we play strip yahtzee
someone spills their drink
I suggest they clean that sh!t up before my mellow gets harshed
everyone laughs and calls them a lightweight
somehow the party moves into the kitchen
the neighbors show up and tell us to keep our voices down
I ask them to come on in and knock a couple back - no thanks
a couple people are hogging the bathroom *it's obvious what they're doing
after some jokes, the party moves to the hallway next to the bathroom door
someone needs my help getting the lid off of the cherries
this song sucks, change it
I suggest we make pina coladas - whirrrrrrrr.... the blender is loud
someone has their shirt off... I walk over and bump the heat up 5-10 degrees
we can't remember what we were doing because it was so funny and we're drunk
where did I leave my dringgk
who just grabbed my butt
more drinking
more laughing
it was you who grabbed my butt!
yeah, so?
well then, lets go make out in my room
ok

I can't tell you how to party. I picked 7 because at the time I had a one bedroom apartment. 6 + me = 7... any more and it would get pretty crowded and pretty loud.

At first, I had a buffet that I started setting my booze on. Then I wanted a couple different ****tails, so I went and got a couple more different types. Then someone called my buffet a "bar". Then someone wanted to hang out and have what they called a "****tail or two". Then I arrived at the "hey, I should make this a thing".

Of course, at first, there wasn't a large variety. Most of the guests had no idea what's in ****tails or what a ****tail was: "you mean like rum and cokes, right?"
So, I had to get some ****tail receipe books and start making shopping lists. I never plan anything "to keep everything rolling". The people there are the entertainment, not charades, not the TV... that's why it's a ****tail party and not a beer bash. Mild background tunes versus gotta yell to be heard over the music, follow? The ****tails themselves are half the entertainment. I guess my ****tail parties are so successful because I have the magic ingredient: me.

Like I said, I can't tell you how to party. Set your own thing up, it doesn't have to be ****tails. If weed is your thing, have a big stone-in. E parties would be awsome, but, whatever.

You are here to make yourself a better man. Friends suck? Never party? Their parties suck? If you don't like it, change it. Make them better by making them yourself. :rockon:

Oxide has been gracious enough to offer his help to get my photo up. I work on a MAC here at work and imageshack was giving me some problems - donno what the deal was but none of the pages or links load.

If you build it, they will come.

There's 77 bottles you can see, there's about 15 bottles of wine in the lower cabinets, as well as some "back up supplies" for things that we go through the most like Bailey's and Kahlua. Overall, there's around a hundred bottles (since the pic, it's up close to 150). I had to pull up extra tables for the picture because I didn't get the shelves up yet. It's quite a sight. Like shock and awe but for booze.

Mad props to Oxide for the help.

Oxide says: You must've spent a lot of cash on that.

Probably about 2/3rds is what I've bought, the rest is brought by guests. I tell them to consider it a "cover charge for all you can drink debauchery".

Excellent tip. Social proof and a great way of meeting new women (people).
