Grocery Store Game

[Sega Genesis]

Hey guys not sure if this is the first thread created by a female but this just happened today and thought I'd share and ask a question.

Boyfriend and I were grocery shopping today for dinner, and in one of aisles we witnessed what appeared to be the tail end of a pickup!

Average looking dude, 20ish, not tall (5'6"ish?) asking a cute 20ish girl for her phone no and she enthusiastically gave it to him! After which he said he'd text her and she responded "Great"!

Not too long after that, same guy was chatting up a different girl in a different aisle, we assumed for the same reason but we weren't paying attention and didn't hear.

At the check out, we saw same guy chatting up yet a different girl and the first girl witnessed it, looked mad, approached him and said something but we were on a different line and didn't hear.

I'm assuming she told him to lose her number! Lol. But that's an assumption.

We both thought the whole thing was pretty funny, so much drama on a Sunday afternoon!

But anyway...

My question is... when you do grocery store approach game, once you get a number do you continue approaching different women? There were a lot of singles ladies there today more than usual.

If so isn't that risky?

I've been approached mostly while standing in line at the check-out and the conversation was organic after which we both left the store. I actually dated a guy for a few months I met this way.

But this was right inside the store and the guy it seemed was on a mission!

My boyfriend never did grocery game the way this guy did (or so he claims haha), so didn't have an answer. He knows I'm posting this here..

Thoughts? @SW15 ? @We_ArE_VeNOM ? @Gamisch ? Or others who do grocery pickup game?

You're right I just checked...

Anyway @BPH do you have any thoughts on this?

I go to places where it's socially acceptable and expected to approach women; bars, beaches, etc.

If I meet someone in my day-to-day (which is rare) I'll approach, but I'm not camping out in grocery stores hoping to run into my future wife.

but I'm not camping out in grocery stores hoping to run into my future wife.

Lol I highly doubt this guy was/is looking for his future wife either... my guess he was on the prowl collecting numbers.

It's anyone's guess if he even has any intention of texting/calling any of them.

Anyway appreciate your thoughts...

The grocery store is the non-bar venue where I have arranged the most quantity of first dates.

I have spent a lot of time over the years approaching women in a variety of grocery stores.

@Sega Genesis -- I will comment on what you observed below.

This seems like a volume approacher in the grocery store. This is the kind of guy who lingers in one grocery store location for something like 3 hours on a weekend afternoon and does a high volume of approaches.

At 5'6"-5'8", his height is not going to be desired on Bumble/Hinge. Left swipes galore!

He figured with his below average height that he needs to do something in the real world. Perhaps he is charismatic with his personality/verbal game.

There is merit to grocery store lingering. It is HIGHLY UNLIKELY to find many approach targets going about grocery shopping like a normal person with a shopping list would go about grocery shopping. In order to do enough approaches to find dates, most men will need to slow down their grocery store pace, spend at least 1 hour in a single grocery store location, and do many approaches in that hour or more.

After arranging a first date in a grocery store, it's not recommended to keep approaching more women in the same store. If a guy is elite level looking (6'0"+, muscular/fit), he is more likely to be able to get away with doing that. For more mid-tier men, they risk alienating the woman that they've arranged a first date with/exchanged phone numbers with. I don't collect a phone number without a date arranged. It is pointless.

Instead of spending 3 hours in a grocery store on a weekend afternoon, I have tended to spend 1 hour in one store location one day, then go to a different store and do another hour approach session within 1-3 days of the first sessions. I spread out my sessions when I am seeking new women.

I highly doubt this guy was/is looking for his future wife either... my guess he was on the prowl collecting numbers.

It's anyone's guess if he even has any intention of texting/calling any of them.

He was definitely on the prowl collecting numbers. I hope he arranged dates and didn't just collect numbers.

Given his below average height, he likely doesn't get that many prospects and he will call/text the numbers he gets.

I've been approached mostly while standing in line at the check-out and the conversation was organic after which we both left the store. I actually dated a guy for a few months I met this way.

It's far better for a man to approach a woman in some store aisle than in a checkout line. A checkout line is a very narrow window of time and might not lead to enough conversation to determine if a first date is worthwhile. It isn't enough time to go through common daygame approach frameworks like GALNUC (Roosh's conversation model from "Day Bang") or Open Stack Vibe Invest Close (London Daygame Model).

@SW15 great response!

With the man I ended up dating, I didn't get the sense he was attempting to "pick me up" per se, our conversation developed naturally (I think I may have posted about it here) it was 100% organic.

The line was VERY long and we got a chance to chat, we exchanged numbers before departing the store, he texted and we began dating.

The best seducers make it look 100% organic even if it isn't.

I've been told by multiple women that they were excited to meet me in such an unexpected way after they met me when I was doing a dedicated approach session.

The line was VERY long and we got a chance to chat, we exchanged numbers before departing the store, he texted and we began dating.

That can work and it did in your situation.

I still prefer somewhere in the aisles. Some aisles are better for approaches than others.

 

[BeExcellent]

I've started the rare thread around here (not in years though), lol.

I think the synopsis @SW15 gave is accurate. For the guy who at first got the girl's number (then she saw him approaching others) that would have tanked her interest in all likelihood. Women like to feel special. She probably felt special initially, then realized he was approaching girls by volume & no longer felt special.

It is what it is. I've been approached at grocery stores but once a guy sees my wedding ring or I start chatting about my husband it fizzles out.

Few men are smooth enough for the approaches to feel 100% organic in a grocery store. More often than not there's a forced awkwardness to it.

 

[SW15]

I've been approached at grocery stores but once a guy sees my wedding ring or I start chatting about my husband it fizzles out.

I try to prevent this situation as much as possible.

I only approach in grocery stores in my neighborhoods in my city that have mainly unmarried residents. This reduces the chance of dealing with a woman with a husband.

I check for wedding rings prior to approaches in most venues. I rarely see them in the grocery store locations where I approach.

The absence of wedding rings doesn't mean that much. In most of the grocery store locations where I approach, the majority of women likely have boyfriends and aren't seeking new penis at the moment I see them and decide I want to approach. A good portion of my grocery store conversations fizzle out before I can determine if she's worth my time for a 2 hour social engagement. It's possible that if I were to try to escalate the interaction and extend a social invitation in less time, I would hear the "I Have a Boyfriend" (IHAB) excuse more. I haven't heard the IHAB in around 10 years, if not longer. I thought the IHAB was dead until I saw some approachers getting IHAB'ed online.

Few men are smooth enough for the approaches to feel 100% organic in a grocery store. More often than not there's a forced awkwardness to it.

The grocery store is a tough place for social interaction. Most people aren't accustomed to having meaningful social interaction in a grocery store.

This has become even more true in the internet/social media/smartphone era. The internet/social media/smartphone era has discouraged a lot of real life socialization.

Even prior to the mid-2000s, grocery store interactions of more than a few minutes weren't the norm.

I didn't start grocery store approaching until the early 2010s, well into the internet/social media era.

For the guy who at first got the girl's number (then she saw him approaching others) that would have tanked her interest in all likelihood. Women like to feel special. She probably felt special initially, then realized he was approaching girls by volume & no longer felt special.

Most men are going to want to be discreet with their approaching. After arranging 1 date in a given location on 1 day, it's often worthwhile to shut down approaching for the day to not risk having the woman see you approach others in the same location.

The risk of getting spotted doing more approaches is realistic in grocery stores, malls, parks, and even on a multi-mile walking path.

Top tier men on looks (6'0"+, fit/muscular, and likely under 35) are most likely to be able to get away with this.

Most top tier men aren't bothering to approach in non-bar venues. They don't need to do that. Non-bar approaching tends to be something that men who are overlooked in bars and on swipe apps tend to do. Most top tier men have enough volume from bars and/or swipe apps to not bother with non-bar approaching. All non-bar approaching has a certain amount of inefficiency baked into it. Top tier men are hyper efficient on swipe apps, even more so than at bars.

@BeExcellent started the thread "How to Spot a Unicorn"

My question is... when you do grocery store approach game, once you get a number do you continue approaching different women?

Nah. I had other things to do in my life. 1 number a day was enough for me.

Thanks for the tag, and shout out to the guy in question.

As a fellow grocery store approacher myself; game recognizes game.

And I salute the fellow.

Exactly. It is risky.

I've had at least two similar experiences to the one you've shared of dude.

The optics weren't pretty with either one.

I've been approached mostly while standing in line at the check-out and the conversation was organic after which we both left the store.

I'll wait until you leave checkout and follow you to the parking lot .

Too many listening ears in the checkout line, and I don't like muhfukaz all up in my business.

I actually dated a guy for a few months I met this way.

That's where I do most of my hunting.

But this was right inside the store and the guy it seemed was on a mission!

A mission is exactly what it is.

It is fun. So damn fun.

Enjoying life, and putting yourself out there.

Being confident, bold, and fearless.

My boyfriend never did grocery game the way this guy did (or so he claims haha), so didn't have an answer. He knows I'm posting this here..

Well, he got what he sought (you) by other means.

But, still.

Thoughts? @SW15 ? @We_ArE_VeNOM ? @Gamisch ? Or others who do grocery pickup game?

Grocery store game is my thang.

I go on Walmart (and Fry's) hunting tours.

I do a full sweep of the store before I'm off to the next one...not in any store for more than 15 mins.

If I'm able to give at least one woman my #, I leave the store immediately, regardless the length of time I'm there.

It's just all fun, although I'd caution against spam approaching in one store..for the very reason we are discussing.

It's almost bound to happen.

Venom you don't hit up the Lowe's on Baseline and 19th? Chicks like a built dude for home improvement sh1t.

 

[CornbreadFed]

This isn’t dating, but there’s guys that approach men at grocery store to recruit them for their MLM scheme and they become easily recognizable by the community pretty shortly.

 

[We_ArE_VeNOM]

Venom you don't hit up the Lowe's on Baseline and 19th? Chicks like a built dude for home improvement sh1t.

I haven't, and it can't hurt to slide up in there to see what's poppin.

But, over in that area...the Walmart on 35th Avenue & Southern...

.

Never disappoints.

@We_ArE_VeNOM your stories are hysterical! And if it works well for you, why the hell not.
