Hey everyone.

Well college orientaitions are coming up, and am just interested in what are your goals for it. Some suggestions from veterans, and basic good ideas. Also if you wanna list your college that would be cool.

I'm going to texas tech.

My plans for my orientation are to talk to as many chicks as possibly, try to get digits from high IL chicks.

This talking to chicks will get me noticed by guys, hopefully get me some street cred, that way i can become a popular kid.

I'm going to talk to a lot of people and be sure to get myself heard, if not known.

What are your alls (oh god the y'all's are starting) plans, and if any college folks have any suggestions about what to try to get outa orientation.

I've been through my first year of college so I can offer some advice.

1. Talk to as many people as possible. I had this same plan, but looking back I wish I had talked to so many more. This is the most important thing.

2. Be interesting. You (and everyone else) will be meeting tons of new people, and most of them will be quickly forgotten. Make sure that you give them a reason to remember you.

3. Try to figure out who the other "major players" are going to be. Get to know these guys. It's better use of your time to get to know them than the nerds who will be in the library on Friday night.

Follow these and things should work out ok.

How do you suggest i be more interesting, is it what i talk about, what i wear? etc. I'm also wondering what i could wear to orientation, I could really stand out and wear a button up shirt and slacks but that might seem kinda preppy. I also have some shirts for my school but that might seem kinda lame.

Any advice on how to pick out the major players, i guess its just people that seem to have an outstanding personality. But any thing else you could elaborate on.

How to be interesting just depends on you as a person. When you talk to girls, do you ever notice there is something about you they find particularly interesting? For me in college, it was being on my high school ski team. I'm not sure why, maybe because it's a little unusual, but whenever I told girls I was on a ski racing team they always acted really interested and asked me a lot of questions about it. Think about one of the more unique things about you and be sure to bring it up in conversation. Also, being funny goes a long way to being remembered so try to come up with some good C/F.

As far as what to wear, go with what you're most comfortable with, but also keep in mind what image you want to project to others. Good or bad, people are going to judge you based on your appearance so don't forget that. College styles can be a little different than high school. In HS I was usually a nice t-shirt type guy but since starting college I've changed to a polo/button-down shirt style. It's a bit more mature/shows you can afford expensive sh*t.

Picking out the major players is pretty easy, they're the other guys trying to talk to all the HBs.

By the way, I go to Washington University (in St. Louis). Feel free to PM if you have any other questions.

Never try to read a woman's mind. It is a scary place. Ignore her confusing signals and mixed messages. Assume she is interested in you and act accordingly.

Your really gambling with this because your gonna forget everything you learned from hs, and your gonna hit the floor running.

Gl though, have fun with your time off.

I'm off to orientation in a couple weeks...I'm stoked! My goal is to talk to as many people as possible and get some screennames/phone numbers from girls AND guys. I know it's gonna be fun and I'm gonna have a great time. By the way, any DJs going to Seton Hall or in the NYC area, give me a holler and we can go sarging!

Peacock. Go to a dollar store and buy the most rediculous sunglasses you can find. I have some aviator's with red lenses. It makes you look confident and it gives girls something to open you.

Thats actually a really cool idea, my dad has some rediculous Blue avatars i could use. :D

I got another question. Should i try to get guys numbers so that when school starts i have someone to contact and hang out with, cause its like a 2 month gap between my orientation and start.
 

Peace and Quiet

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

Yes. Of course, do it a little differently for guys than you would for a girl. Just say like "Hey man, let me get your cell number so we can chill when school starts". Easy.

Are you sure its a good idea to be getting phone numbers so early? I, like many others, have an orientation in June, then go to school in late august. Would I really want to be playing AFC phone games with chicks for two months? Personally, I'd rather make an impression, then let her think about me for the whole summer.... Any thoughts?

I wouldn't suggest you call the chicks over the summer (unless they live close enough to date) but the idea is you'll already have the number once school starts. That way you don't have to go through the trouble of tracking them down.

Stand out... They'll remember you. I would set a quota of how many girls your gonna aproach and talk to then go for it. Like 50 or something.

For the guys yeah call em up. Make sure you don't make any enemies right away. Be accepting.
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

I really like that idea, it will encourage me to not screw around.
I'll do that, i'll make like a table and mark it when i do it.

I'm also not the kind of guy that gets enemies, unless they're deuche bags but i'm not mean to them, they just got problems with people cause they're emotionally insecure.

Im not a fag or anything, but my goal is to meet more guys then girls. I say this because the guys that i meet are going to be the people that I chill with for the next 6 years of my life (yes i am in the six year pharmacy program). I'm gonna look for the players, pimps, and dons to chill with. I feel this because I know I can get the girls when I want, so I can wait till school starts. One of the reasons i say this is because in high school I didnt have many male friends, but I always had a lot of girls, and I was still bored most of the time. Well those are jus my 2 cents

This is actually a very good idea.
 

It's all good!

It's actually a really good idea to befriend a lot of guys first. If you have a lot of friends only after the first day, it's really impressive. What I find very important is remembering everybody's name. The more you use somebody's name when talking to them, the more they like you. Try it some time. Personally, i'm going to my student orientation just looking to have fun and be friendly and meet tons of new people, not just the "cool group," but all types of new people. For me, having new people to meet is very exciting, and if you show a genuine interest in meeting other people and don't forget their names, they'll be your best friend forever.

I don't remember who said this quote, but it's a great one:

"Talk to somebody about themself and they'll listen for hours."
