ps- the guy in the hat is my favourite, because he reminds me of a friend I had back in the day. Actually the person who kind of introduced me to game. I had no idea that there were books and courses and stuff back then.
But he got zero play. He swallowed teh mysterymethod stuff, and he would go out 2-3 nights per week trying to pickup girls way way out of his league using negs and strawberry fields and he'd try to DHV using magic tricks mainly. Only thing he didn't have was the hat!
He never got one lay in all them years and ended up marrying a foreign girl after he became her boss after a promotion
Isn't that interesting. You know the one secret ingredient that is missing from Day Game is 'reason'. You have to have a legitimate reason to be talking to these people and use your game as more of an after thought or way of interacting with people. Magic tricks, game, suave pickup lines, all that stuff works wonders if you just happen to be with a group of girls because you are somewhere you are supposed to be. For instance, my friend at work is a bouncer and he's jacked but he throws down lines constantly and is picking up girls left and right. If you're a teacher (adults) you are there up in front having to interact. Sales and street marketing, entertainment, even just being at work or going out to a nightclub. As long as you have a reason to be in that space then you have an audience. In your friend's case he went abroad AND got a job out there, all of a sudden his years of practice paid off. Just day gaming though has a pretty low hit rate. That's why 'travel' is such an easy way to meet women. You can be a 'tourist' or whatever, but it gives you a reason to talk to people.
I once pretended I was from Brazil, I was lost and couldn't speak much English, just enough to get #s. On a nice day, I went to my local university and started wandering around asking hot girls for directions. You know what? I got an absolute TON of help and girls were super interested in speaking with me and learning about my 'culture'. Eventually one even introduced me to her hot friend who was ALSO Brazilian and she started speaking to me in Portuguese. Well this was probably the most embarrassed I'd ever been because I couldn't speak a lick of the language. She kept saying "Its OK just speak to me in Portuguese". I don't recall exactly how it happened but I do remember having to run off campus at warp speed, I think they may have called Campus Police. Anyway, if you have a reason, this stuff suddenly just works.
If you need a 'reason' in ANY non-native English country, just say you are looking for a language partner for 'language exchange'. This is usually code for 'I'm Single'. Then you can basically hit a uni and score a ton of numbers. I know this works, I used it tons of times.
