mall game is dead

[SW15]

Ask a few women where they shop for clothes nowadays

“online”

It's good that you mention online shopping. Online shopping has had an effect upon mall foot traffic and the possibilities for mall approaching.

I started doing mall approaching after reading Roosh's 2011 book "Day Bang". By 2011-2012, online shopping was a common practice for a lot of consumers and had already been affecting malls.

Mall approaching likely would have been better in the 1990s-2000s. I can imagine that it would have also been inefficient in that time period as well.

Typically, younger women will be at the mall with a boyfriend/husband. Older women will many times be shopping alone and can be approached if that's your target range.

When you refer to older women, how old are you thinking?

When I say "older" I am saying 35+. Not super old but not "young and fertile" like most of the posters at SS are gunning for.

Appreciate the clarification there. As a 40 year old man, I am open to dating 35+. It's realistic for me at this point. I would date a 35-39 year old childless woman. There would be some points of discussion there but I would be open to it if the fit makes sense.

In real life, it is easier to meet childless 25-34 year olds than 35-39 year olds. 35-39 and childless is hypertargeted and a swipe app would offer that sort of hypertargeted prospect. I'd rather meet women in real life.

In "Day Bang", when Roosh was discussing mall game, he mentioned that bigger department stores are the best plays for older women. When Roosh was writing that book, he was 31-32 years old. When I've been in the bigger department stores like Dillard's and Nordstrom, I have noticed that the clientele does tend to be a bit older and even older than me. In a bigger department store, there's more likely to be married women and divorced single moms than the 35-39 year old childless woman.

When doing mall approaching, I have spent time in both bigger department stores, smaller stores with a younger target demographic, and inside the corridors in between stores.

But admittedly, I have never gone to a mall just to approach women. I always go to do some shopping and if I see a woman I like I approach.

Mall approaching is generally inefficient so doing it in the way you describe is sensible.

Lingering and loitering is done to wait for approach targets to come into orbit, not waiting for women to approach you. Men who do dedicated approach sessions often have to linger to wait to find an approach target. At that point, they will spring into action and make the approach.

I phrased it confusingly, I meant waiting for women to appear so one can approach them. I wouldn't personally hang around a mall or anywhere waiting on women so I can "spring into action." You mentioned earlier it takes 1-2 hours. Just seems like an enormous waste of time and for me it, it just puts me in a mindset of a lingerer rather than a guy with things to do (which I am).

Are people still doing mall game? I haven't done that in 15 years lol

"I love your Taylor Swift T-shirt."
Father appears.
"Maybe you could tell me where you bought it, so I can buy one for my own daughter."

Get a part time job at a store in the mall. (Victorias secret)

Yes, there are people who still do mall game. Mall approaching has always been a niche activity. I think that niche has gotten smaller in the last 15 years.

Gen Z'ers are afraid of talking on the telephone. It's difficult for me to imagine a Gen Z'er having the courage to initiate something with a stranger in a mall. I can't even imagine most Millennials wanting to do that. The oldest Millennials like myself would be the most inclined to do something like that.

Mall approaching is somewhere in between inefficient and a total waste of time.

Victorias secret

That's one store where it's not recommended to enter and approach. During mall approach sessions, as I've walked past Victoria's Secret, there have been times where I have thought about if it would be possible to approach inside of a Victoria's Secret. I don't think it's possible to do without making the impression as some sort of creep.

There's a Victoria's Secret in the IJ-passage, a 'mall' that runs through Amsterdam Central Station. I went there last Sunday with one of my lovers and got the IGs of 3 of the 4 girls working there.

so if 1-2 hours is a "waste of time" what is considered more productive and helpful for meeting woman then for that time period?

'Library Game'
think about it
you have to come close to her because you cannot raise your voice in a library
so you can whisper in her ear
'you look like you know where the naughty books are...'

 

[obelisk]

I could definitely see library game working. You can set the tone for what you're reading and doing there and they're usually there for a good period of time vs simply passing by on a street.

 

[AmsterdamAssassin]

Plus you can talk about reading / writing and many libraries have a coffee corner nowadays.

 

[obelisk]

I need to get off my ass and try this. We have some great libraries here. I could see libraries being somewhere that a woman is suddenly bored by her studying and looks up and sees you as "mr interesting and exciting in the right place at the right time" kind of scenario. You also by default have an acceptable and reasonable reason for being there and hanging out for an extended period of time.

 

[SW15]

In many American cities, libraries are filled with homeless people. It's not a great vibe for attracting desirable women into the building.

I saw an attractive woman at a mall store known for its home made soap recently. She eyed me quite a bit but was there with her daughter and i didnt feel it was going to be easy to game her with her kid there. i nornally go to this store with my kid also and the women working there love talking to us

Book stores are pretty easy to approach girls at. I would open them with "hey, the how to get a cute guy" books are on the next aisle over.

Book stores are not commonly found within indoor malls. They are more commonly in strip malls.

Barnes & Noble is the biggest name in book stores and the only book store I've found to be reliable for finding approaches. Some areas might have some independent book stores that are worthwhile for approaches, but those are getting rarer.

That's a solid opener in book stores.

The biggest problem that I've seen in book stores is a lack of prospects. I've tried both Barnes & Noble and a smaller, regional book store chain. Barnes & Noble has had far more approachable prospects.

I've found book stores in general to be disappointing as an approach venue.

 

[TheManMasenko]

I was in the mall with my cousin and his friend. They were just vibing. The thought of woman wasn’t on either of there mind.

We went into a store and this lady approached my cousin. They fvkd a few days later. Sometimes it happens, woman approach your aura and if you approach woman you should test their aura.

 

[Hamurabimbi]

Sad. As mall girls are often hot.

 

[We_ArE_VeNOM]

You don't go to the mall to pick up girls, you go to the mall because you want to buy something.

Why not?

If the goal is to pick up girls, then you go wherever the girls are.

If you see a girl you like then go for the approach, otherwise buy what you need and leave.

Smh.
