Pick ups at Malls and finding your niche that fits your personality.

[Travel memoir21]

So This morning, I skipped breakfast and decided to go to the mall instead to get something hot to drink at the Starbucks there.

When I got there, I was bummed out because there was a long line and didn’t want to wait around for my drink so I skipped that as well. I went window shopping at the stores instead and went on a stroll. There were a few cute ladies. It sort of got me thinking of finding a true niche to find women that fits my personality. It has to be congruent.

I noticed I’m a bookworm and coffee fanatic so I tend to do well at bookstores and coffeeshops because they seem more intimate. With the malls on the other hand, it seems like to me you’ll get blown out way too easily lol. Why? you’re basically stopping a random stranger on the spot. Unless you go into one of the stores, I can imagine the pick up would be easier because you can use a situational opener. I think mall approaches are harder especially outside the stores, when they’re walking around, what do you guys think? You’ve got to be well socially calibrated and be in the right state of mind for it to go well.

Like I said, it really depends on finding your niche and what works for you. Some guys go to airports to meet women, which I think is nuts and a bit predatory lol….just find what works for you depending on your personality.

Reminds me of an episode of the 1st season of HIMYM where Barney tells Ted "We are going to the aiport to pick up some girls"

It depends all on how you come off and who you approach. Young guys can get away with simply walking up to a girl and starting a conversation and making it pretty obvious they're lookin to talk and flirt and possibly hang out or get a number. It's almost implied.

Women love when guys approach them because heres the deal, not every woman gets approached very often. Women are often busy with their own stuff.. and when they do go out, some of them are hoping to be approached. Why do you think some girls dress up and doll up so much just to go to the mall by themselves? Thsoe are the girls I seek out to approach..

A lot of the times I can just look at a chick, see how she looks or what shes wearing, whether her hair or nails are done, and her body language and know if shes single and wants to be approached..

This must be a NYC thing because I couldn’t fathom driving to and parking at an Airport just to hit on girls lol.

There are multiple types of non-bar venues for approaching strangers. Some men do better in certain venues than others. This is normal.

With the malls on the other hand, it seems like to me you’ll get blown out way too easily lol. Why? you’re basically stopping a random stranger on the spot. Unless you go into one of the stores, I can imagine the pick up would be easier because you can use a situational opener.

Malls are a tough venue, both inside of an individual store and in the main hallway type corridors. I'd say hallway/corridor type game is more difficult than inside an individual store game.

I have been stronger in grocery stores than in malls over time. I have arranged more dates and gotten more numbers in grocery stores.

Outdoor game is the absolute toughest now due to the growth of earbuds. However, I have stopped more girls outdoors than in malls. I've also done more outdoor daygame sessions than mall sessions, so that might be skewing my observation.

I noticed I’m a bookworm and coffee fanatic so I tend to do well at bookstores and coffeeshops because they seem more intimate.

The biggest problem I've observed in bookstore game is a lack of approach targets. I am well spoken, enjoy reading, and write well. It would seem logical that I'd like bookstore game. I haven't seen much.

Some bookstores have coffee shops in them too. All of the bookstores I've gamed over the years have been combo locations. There are plenty of standalone coffee shops, which I haven't gamed.
