In this post we’re going to have a look at an effective way to keep Daygame statistics and when and how to step away from them. When I started Daygame I immediately started recording my stats. I’d come home from my session, open my laptop and add the sets to my spreadsheet. In fact, since … Continue reading How to Keep Daygame Statistics

Fueled by Randomness
Randomness is quite often a good thing; let’s look at why in this Taleb-inspired post. One of the questions many Daygamers asks themselves is ‘how many sets should I do?’ ‘How many sets is enough?’ ‘How many sets constitutes a hard day’s work?’ In other words (with regards to the last one): ‘how many sets … Continue reading Fueled by Randomness
Introverted vs Extroverted Daygame
I’m beginning to see a growing schism in Daygame: introverted vs extroverted Daygame. The former is defined by the number farm technique; go out there and in a short space of time overcome your natural introversion to collect a pocketful of numbers, which you gradually whittle down to the lay. The technique is the same … Continue reading Introverted vs Extroverted Daygame
Arousal/Attraction, Dirty Talk, Creating Demand, and Logical/Emotional Decisions
You’ve got to make her want to fuck you. Quite an obvious observation but one that didn’t click with me until May/June. I’ve seen Torero mention the attraction/arousal dichotomy and Krauser talk about dirty talking girls for ages but I’ve never actually thought about it much, and it increases the dimensions of a girl’s thoughts. … Continue reading Arousal/Attraction, Dirty Talk, Creating Demand, and Logical/Emotional Decisions
15/30: Beginners’ Truths
I was out coaching a guy a few weeks ago (don’t get excited, I’m starting small, very small), and we were talking about one of my recent dates. I told him that I didn’t go for the bounce home because I didn’t think that it was on. He replied by asking me which circumstances would … Continue reading 15/30: Beginners’ Truths
“Like This But -1pt”
It makes me titter a little when I see lay reports which start with a picture of a model or famous actress, together with a caption along the lines of “but minus one point” or “with thicker hair”; as far as Daygame lay reports go it’s supposedly mandatory and is part of the banter. It … Continue reading “Like This But -1pt”
Attracting Attention
At the moment, I have Cialdini’s new book on the go: Pre-Suasion; the art of making people suggestible to the persuader’s arguments before they’ve even begun their sales pitch proper. I was stuck for a moment, trying to think of what to write about today, but then remembered that the exact chapter I was on, … Continue reading Attracting Attention
Vacuuming Nickels
Shout out to all the financiers out there who understand the reference. The title of this posts refers to the infamous, bust, hedge fund Long Term Capital Management. Myron Scholes, one of the founders and managers, famously said that their investment strategy would function “as if it were vacuuming nickels that others couldn’t see”. Whereas … Continue reading Vacuuming Nickels
Can Vibe-Free Pickup Exist?
It’s cold as hell, but I’ve set up at my little exam hall style desk with a mug of hot black coffee and the radiator on next to me. The golden brown crema sits lazily on top and steam laconically drifts up into air, filling my nostrils with rich notes of chocolate and creativity. Contrast … Continue reading Can Vibe-Free Pickup Exist?
Pre-Abundance
I’m writing this article off the back of a comment I made in the last post about how you can theoretically cast your net wider and increase the number of girls who you believe to be worth approaching. I initially titled that concept as “pre-abundance” and I want to expand on that here. Consider this … Continue reading Pre-Abundance
