Are You a Night Guy or a Day guy?

In this post I’m going to tell you why day game is easier than night game. Women are off their guard and less likely to likely to reject you as bars often have an air of pretentiousness. In reality, that what this is covering.When most people talk about ‘day game’ they think it’s the sunlight that affects your success with women.

It’s as Clear as Day

Someone in a comment recently said that picking up women in the day time is ‘obviously’ easier than at night. It’s an issue I’ve been wanting to talk about now with the public.

Whether you’re picking a woman up in the day or in the night is not a very important consideration (despite contrary belief). It’s really about picking up women in nightclubs and bars vs street pickups. To simplify it even further, it’s about context and social events and clubs see people ‘have their game faces on’ when in the street they are just ‘on their way’ somewhere.

Don’t Let the Sun go Down on Me

(otherwise I loose my lighting)

People see my pick up videos often attribute the speed at which I seduce women to the ‘day’ because most of my public videos are in the day. These videos are not there because day game is easier. Those videos are there because I didn’t have the money to pay a club to let me film in it. Also, the music was just way too loud and Sydney lacks ‘lounge’ type places. Not because they were in the day.

In reality, it was easier because I have much more practice at picking up women off the street (regardless of the time of day) than in clubs. This is only because when I worked in corporate world I used my lunch breaks to setup women for that evening. It just worked for me and I did it more than 5 times and then I realised that it was easier just doing that than continually researching night game (as being a pick up coach was my job during my degrees.

So, my circumstances made day game easier for me and next thing I knew I was a ‘daytime pick up artist’ which was really not accurate. I’m sure if you’re ever tried picking up in the day time you would understand that it’s the same game but you’re playing a different team now. These girls are different because of their contexts, not because of their personalities.

Walking on Sunlight

We are all affected by social proof, some get more easily swayed by it than others. You know the types, the people who fair when Bon Jovi walks past but continues eating whilst 13 year old girls are on the news talking about being sex slaves. Most people just keep eating because it’s 1 in a hundred news stories. You’re complacent with the graphic depictions on TV that you watch every night. Bon Jovi you may meet only once in your life and everyone around you are just dying to meet him and (for some ‘weird reason’) you suddenly faint when he shakes your hand (if you’re a little girl that is).

Come a come a chameleon

It is the context, it changes you. Think of yourself as a social chameleon; you adapt and change to fit your context and your company. Chameleons, when mating, change their colours just as we do when approaching women as just as women do when they get approached (regardless of day, night, bar, street, etc).

Both men and women act differently when they are with their parents, their boss or when they’re trying to be attractive. Most of us try to reject others first because we all hate the idea of someone looking at us like there is something wrong with us. I like to think that if you have thought about whether something is reasonable or not you become a lot less frightened.

This applies to both how women react when approached in the street and mens’ approach anxiety at night. The correlation is that women do not expect to get picked up outside of clubs and most men freeze when in a nightclub because it is so obvious to everyone that he is approaching.

Welcome to the Jungle

Axel Rose of Guns N’ Roses once wrote :
“Welcome to the jungle…You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me”

Clubs can be very scary an intimidating jungles filled with lurking personalities. It can be quite daunting because most guys start to feel their claim to the more attractive women is mitigated if there’s an alpha male(s) around. The same excuses consistently arise out of guys who are thinking about approaching a woman. “She’s not alone” is a big one because of the perceived humiliation factor but if you’re comfortable with what you’re doing because you feel it is reasonable then they will too. Sincerity, enthusiasm and emotions in general are contagious (e.g. high energy vs low energy guys).

Either ways the usual excuse relates to a fear of being rejected:

There’s so many people around” is the one I’ve heard in nearly every one of my workshops over the past 5 years. This excuse, to me, is simply my students saying “I don’t want to get rejected in public, it will only exacerbate my shame if I get rejected. Help me!”.  On the other hand the majority of good looking women rarely ever get approached by guys who are not shitting themselves deep down even if they are acting like a Silverback Gorilla.

You will not get rejected in a club any more or less than on the street if you’re a guy who has experience. By ‘experience’ I mean guys who just applied any of my 4 core principles at least 3-5 times on a stranger. That’s all it takes to get a good feel for it. Think of it like having 2 driving lessons and you are instantly comfortable and ready to handle a race car. If you want to know more you see the online course here.

It is all about context and to prove it here is a video of me picking up a Belgium girl at night outside Sydney’s ‘Eastern’ nightclub. So this post is not all ‘just theory’ for you hungry hounds I’ve put up some tips in this video that correlate to my previous posts, all of which cover my four core principles of seduction: counter intuitiveness, playfulness, indifference and push/pull.

So day game is not ‘obviously easier’ and you guys should be aware of taking things like that for granted. Just think to yourself, once again:

“It’s not about the day light that makes picking up easier, it’s context and company”.

In my next post I’ll cover the harder women of this world and how to deal with the ice queens and other cold and unresponsive women so sign up to blog notifications here.

Day Time Seductions are Obviously Easier

For now, I want to ask why is it ‘obviously easier’?

It took me 3 years to SUSPECT it was ‘obviously easier’ because the women were unsuspecting of being picked up. Back then I was a huge Sun Tzu aficionado (as I still am) and was caught up on his theory of Suprise and how it gave you a seriously unfair advantage over your enemy. Day game proved to be the battle ground of choice.

Most men believe that picking up women in a bar (or at night generally) is easier because the women actually go there to socialise. They also believe it is more conducive to conversation as the women aren’t on their way somewhere with no time to talk during the working day.

Another one of the innumerable benefits for pick up artists practicing ‘night game’ is that the women get dressed up, put on their game faces and enter the social arena (bar / club / social event). This is how THEY like to play the game (from a position of power because they often feel much better presented (aesthetically) in these contexts which makes them feel more confident and therefore most likely to want to talk to a man.We all feel that to an extent (man, woman or child) in some contexts.

I later proved myself wrong when I entered the corporate world and only had about 15 minutes to spare on my 1 hr lunch break. None of my friends went to clubs and I personally thought they were very superficial places (and I still do). I didn’t feel they were superficial because the people in them were superficial, just because they ACTED in a superficial way. After all, if you spend 2 hours getting ready “I’m making myself better” is usually what you have in mind isn’t it?

I know I think that way about myself when I get ready as do most  of the girls and guys I know. We’re all more similar than you aware of, these things may sound obvious but how often do you really care to think about and notice them in every day life? If you say ‘often’ then great but most people are too caught up in their own life woes to spare the brain energy on things outside of their jobs and family.

Mr Jones and Me

For older guys, day game has an appeal because night game is often very limited and filled with younger women they find it hard to relate to. Despite the common belief it is my experience that most older men do not prefer younger women because of their immaturity and naivety.

Many of my clients are engineers, barristers and IT guys who are pretty worldly, logical and professional and do not have the time to maintain the bullshit that often comes with younger women. They’d rather deal with potential risk of ‘baggage’ in an older women because often, the right guy just helps them move on from their checkered past or defective personality traits. The amount of divorced embittered women that have come to me later forget they ever “thought men were pigs” once they fall in love again (ohh….isn’t that sweet?).

These women are not all bad, in fact most feel so old and unsexy that any male attention is enough to give them a buzz. We under estimate how rarely people actually approach each other during the day. When did you do it last? I bet it was asking for a spare bar stool (or something else you may have considered and ‘approach’).

I won’t take you to the candy shop and you can’t lick the lolly pop!

We also truely over estimate how rarely guys approach in bars too. You see, I used to think guys ALWAYS approached in bars because I always saw groups of girls with guys. Most of them were all friends and arrived together, the others were guys doing 1 of 3 things (get a pen and take notes right now if you haven’t already):

ONE

Thought they were picking up a girl when in fact they were just making ‘comments in passing’ to her like “Nice night, isn’t it?”.

TWO

They doubt whether they really are worthy of this girl and over compensate by trying to reject the women first…even though they’re approaching her. They may tease too hard, insult them or simply be sleazy and disgusting.

These guys are the wankers, assholes and losers in clubs, even if they’re totally cool, confident and popular in other aspects of their lives. They over compensate and often guys who “wrote learn lines” or live and die by canned routines have the propensity to become this type of person. In short…they think they’re being really cool when in fact people can see right through it because despite their best efforts they’re not acting in a way consistent with that of an ‘attractive guy’ in their mind.

THREE

The most common of these three types of guys are the ones that just do not approach women. Many older guys have written to me expressing their disdain for seduction methods / techniques that simply would make them feel stupid. They would never be comfortable with saying something they perceive as a cheesy line that will be instantly detected as insincere or as some kind of ploy.

These guys doubt their abilities to such an extent that they often compensate by being really successful in other areas of their lives (e.g. work). They need to put their drive and ambition into things that furnish results and show development (like their careers). Women are just a no-go zone because it reeks of failure, they feel bad and then they cover it up with denial and / or complacency.

All these guys are all present in the night-game arena. All of them are often obviously looking (but trying to look) at the women that are walking by. They’ve been drinking and they’re with their boys all filled with testosterone and all visually ’sampling’ the women. Women know guys look when they get dressed up, the problem is that they feel good about it for a second and then forget it ever happened. Many gorgeous women I’ve known are convinced guys don’t approach them or even look at them but often they have forgotten completely (or their backs were turned).

Enter Sandman

In the night time at bars and clubs there are most sources for external validation than women young and…hot to enjoy. Nearly all three of the aforementioned categories of men mentioned above (aka night-gamers) ogle the women they all collectively as a group decide “are the hottest”. All these guys also have or do compete on “who has the higher standards”. They spend so much time competing on “whether the blond in the mini is hotter than the cougar in the jeans with the tits” that they kill all their opportunities. They never approach because they’ve just asserted (for the past hour) that the “blond is a 10 and the cougar is an 8″.

Either way, it doesn’t matter…they only feel confident enough to approach a 6 (and that’s if they’re friends aren’t around to “see Steve fail with a 6! Ha!”).    Their mates would later tell them “not to take rejections too seriously” but it doesn’t help because you FEEL like a big phony.

These guys often fuck themselves right out of night game rather than right into a woman they’ve just met. Time and time again they can’t approach women because of the loss of face that may occur (particularly if their friends actually do get women and they don’t).

Purple Haze All Through Your Brain

Mental blanks are that black fog that you get in your mind when you really feel you have nothing to say. These usually always come from guys letting a rejection deter them from approaching and ends up being remembered a whole lot worse that it really was. Then you doubt yourself and the excuses come to cover up the honest truth that “I don’t feel I can get her”.

This is why night game is harder for the majority of men: the holes they dig themselves into and the increased pretentiousness of women when they go out. Women (especially ones who are not confident or get approached badly on a regular basis) often feel and act like they have the pick of the litter when they’re looking good, drunk / drugged an out with their friends.

You see, women don’t exactly “approach” because….why should they? To them it’s a common fact that men often just want sex quickly and they will feel cheap and slutty if they “just get fucked by some random”. After all, it’s tradition for the man to approach, it’s the norm world-wide (unless you’re getting married off to a 13 year old in Iran, then it’s all about your family and your dowry. Puke).

….But women at clubs WANT to approach and they do it in their own special ways.

Pretty Woman, Walking Down the Street, The Kind I’d Like to Meet

1) The pretentious ones: Some don a seemingly impenetrable facade of pretentiousness because they feel insecure and want to cover it up. It’s usually because the girl next to her had better breasts (eve3n though she thinks she “has better legs and anicer face”.The seduce in seconds course will give you the tools to pick up women who are like this .

Some of you (sticky beak subscribers of mine who subscribe to my twitter) found out about the post I started writing a year ago on Ice Queens and unresponsive women. If you’re still interested let me know and I’ll start testing it again if you feel it will help.

2) Flirty women: Whether it’s the girl at the pub that talks to anyone or the model at a magazine launch, these girls know how to get their way with men. Many of them simply just TALK to these guys more than other women and somewhere in the back of most guys minds they like that. Something tickles them that they’re being approached for once. These are the women that flirt to gently (or hot and heavily) play their target’s and woo them at will. Despite contrary belief these women often are not bad people, they’re just smart women who know how to use what they have, even if it’s just charisma. You’ll be more likely to see a guy think about this woman whilst he’s in the swing of it than think about some naked blond in a magazine. Why? You know why….because it’s more real (and now we have amateur porn).

3) The oblivious women: For whatever reason it is, some women are just totally oblivious to even the mere fact that you’re of the opposite gender. They are also the women who are taken, lesbian, newly-taken and those with restrictive standards. You know the ones, you’ve probably worked with them. They’re the girls who “don’t date guys from work”. The Girls who “don’t date guys from school” and also those that ” love a hard one in the morning”…(NB: Lost a bet to Jack Coxwell so now I had to write ‘ love a hard one in the morning’ in a post, long story). Either way, they don’t consider you an option and never have.

4) The options: The girl(s) that you actually do have a chance with if you pull it off right. In reality, these women are the ones men (for whatever reason) do not pursue unless they have a game plan and have a good idea of what’s going to happen next. They are just as easy to pick up as all these other types of women that you often find in middle to upper class bars and clubs but men either talk themselves out of approaching. The best part is the vast majority of women in bars and clubs are there for a reason. If they have friends that party hard they will often party hard with them, if they have a boyfriend it doesn’t matter because they like the attention and flirting with the risk. Taken women often lack outlets to use their sexuality to the same effect as they could in their younger / single years.

These are the main four types of women the bars of the world have mostly provided me with.  Type 4 made night game worth while but when you work all day in the 9am-5pm hours (or more) you often are left with your lunch break as the only time you’re active, alert and stimulated from your joke (or even just ‘not tired  and bored when you do it’ will suffice).

One of the many reasons I decided to try ‘day game’ (picking up women during off the street day). I was more awake and stimulated during the day and I was lazy and never motivated enough to get ready and go out at night. It was only in trying day game that did I realize that my all my complicated theories about personality types and  night-time social dynamics (above), are not out-dated, just trumped by the power of surprise that is inherent within day game.

Enter Sandman

You can take women by surprise at night simply by being different to all the other guys that have stumbled up to her. For that you would us apply my four core principles which are mentioned in all my posts. You need to understand though using the four principles at night is the fastest way to pick up women. However the context in which you will be using them will be different so you need to understand that it’s not whether night game is better than day game, it’s whether or know you’re educated in how to approach different situations.

I Did It My Way

There’s always an easier way. And I’m forever on that hunt to find the fastest and most simple ways to seduce. I read Sun Tzu’s Art of War and then applied his learning so I could pick up on my lunch break. I made the solution suit me so that day-game became my forte simply because it’s all I had to work with. That’s why many of my videos are filmed in the day time (and also because of filming rights, sound issues and poor lighting in clubs). Many times we do get lucky though, I’ll update the videos soon, it’s been ages.

Whether it’s meeting women during the day or picking up girls in a bar your preferred choice will surprisingly similar to where you’ve had past successes. In other words, if the last 2 girls you’ve met were picked up off the street in your life is negligible compared to the 4 you’ve picked up through friends then you may consider yourself good “only once you’re their friend”.

The most dangerous thing is that you will forget all of this. It is not as succinct and as simple as it should be learnt. In fact, reading this is probably just overloading your brain with ‘principles’ you will easily forget. All this learning, all this new knowledge you had, will be pushed to the back of your mind by work and…life, and you will forget the obvious:

“It’s about context and company” when it comes to picking up women (and men for that matter ladies).

If he’s with his mates you will often get a cold and macho response ladies. Guys, if she’s just sat there blank as you approached this woman do not be suprised if she is more likely to reject you.

Why do you risk get rejected more at night?

Well, if it’s anything like what I always see, it is usually because her friends have been approached by ‘hotter guys than you’ and she then adopts her friends standards (just like she may out of a Cosmo Magazine too…can’t believe I was in that, puke).This is all assuming you know NOTHING about picking up women. If you’ve read my blog or want to do my online course then picking up women at a bar (at night) will not be a problem, it will be a pleasure.

For now, the best thing you can do is to try to remind yourself of this FACT. It’s not a trick, it’s just a fact. Remember it next time you’re nervous or feel like you’re being talked down to. You’re not a lamb approaching the slaughter, remember that.

Think of yourself more as the Landlord of the Slaughterhouse or even better “the president” as one of my recent Polish  clients told me (weird considering his country’s president just passed away, I think he was just being a little off there).

Be Well.
