Okay, I had to write this post because the incident itself left me so annoyed. The story comes from a student of mine and I absolutely had to turn this into a post because the learning opportunities were so present and obvious. This is an intermediate, maybe lower intermediate, problem, by the way: not knowing … Continue reading Intermediate Problems: Student Case Study

#89-94: Slags and the Shagger
I’m here with another collection of lay reports: those from the first half of 2022. The theme of these lays is pre-selection. Throughout the period I was asking girls questions along the lines of “when did you know you’d sleep with me,” “when did you know I would go for it” and “why did you … Continue reading #89-94: Slags and the Shagger
Camden Daygame Review
I recently went to Camden with a wing of mine (the same guy who I went to Clapham with; review link here). In today’s post I’ll let you know whether I recommend it for Daygame. Layout I measured out the route on Google Maps and it’s pretty hefty (disregard the names in the screenshot itself; … Continue reading Camden Daygame Review
Belgrade Review
I recently came back from Belgrade with Kaiser Daygame and here’s my review of the city. We recorded a podcast on his last day too (link here). Let’s start with the stats. Stats Approaches: 79 Number/Social Media: 23 Dates: 9 Near Misses: 3 Lays: 1 I don’t normally list near misses but on this trip … Continue reading Belgrade Review
Q&A: What Should I Do If A Stranger Comes Into The Set?
I got an email from a student called Mr S. He was asking about what to do if a stranger comes into the set and how often it happens to me. Specifically if they are a white knight/cockblocker/virtue signaller/”concerned onlooker.” This is an expanded version of my reply to him (I rattled off an initial … Continue reading Q&A: What Should I Do If A Stranger Comes Into The Set?
Clapham Daygame Review
Recently I met with a student of mine to catch up in Clapham. As we walked around and chatted I thought about whether it would be good for Daygame. Just to confirm: I’m talking about the high street (i.e. Clapham North Station to Clapham Common Station) and the common itself (for American readers, that’s another … Continue reading Clapham Daygame Review
Teasing Up and Down (A Particularly American Problem)
Today I wanted to write a short post fleshing out a concept I mentioned in a recent Twitter thread on opening: https://twitter.com/thomascrownpua/status/1514170152153075713?s=20&t=wUFZxVBL7oMdTdguiu61mA I thought of this last year while winging with an American Daygamer. This seems to be a particular problem for Americans because their culture is much nicer - on the surface - than … Continue reading Teasing Up and Down (A Particularly American Problem)
Q&A: Should I Open Direct Or Indirect?
Should I open direct or indirect? I’m going for coaching soon but wanted to get out my second post of the week. I decided I’d cut a corner and self-promote at the same time, so here’s a snippet from my upcoming book (details here). https://twitter.com/thomascrownpua/status/1514572275135266816?s=20&t=htLPYjqXqQxElhhW-APBew ***** I often get asked “should I go direct or … Continue reading Q&A: Should I Open Direct Or Indirect?
How to Develop Your Archetype
I’m sure we’ve all seen it: the multitudes of Daygamers who have slapped a leather jacket on top of their regular clothes. Well what if you needed to go much, much further to make it work? At a meta level, these guys probably only want to go so deep. Purple Pill is good enough for … Continue reading How to Develop Your Archetype
Q&A: Should Women Be Your Priority?
Today’s question comes from a discussion I was having with a Daygamer who goes by the name of Crazy Cock PUA (interesting name, indeed; his Twitter account here). I met Crazy in Kyiv last year and he seemed like a solid guy. I got him on for an episode of the upcoming London Daygame Podcast … Continue reading Q&A: Should Women Be Your Priority?
