Conquer Your Campus

Really it seems that some of you have low confidence or just need a starting point. Before some of you say "you dont need that stupid PUA ****" or something like that and you might be absolutely right. But some people need the keys to get started. Some guys cant " be themselves" because they have been themselves for years and haven't gotten any

If you are still in college, then you have absolutely no need for PUA. All the tools to observe, learn and develop are right there for you in a bubble where you are allowed to make mistakes.

taylor caby, famous from posting in this thread, has an interview up on http://mediocrepokerradio.com/

crazy that he got so big from posting in this thread...

Turn, whoever this guy is I think you should just ask him out. All this dancing around won't do you much good.

seriously?
btw, im doing gay schtick. but i really do look up to caby.

I just find your hero worship amusing.

i find it more amusing that you dont know who taylor caby is yet you post in green on a poker message board.
sighhhhhh.

*shrug*

I visited the CardRunners table at the WSOP once. Does that count?

after 34 pages, these are my highlights.

if you havent checked out bond18's newest thread in bbv4l, i suggest reading it.
hes also posting a thread about how he goes about picking up girls, which he says he will post soon.

yeah but hes the sexiest guy in poker

That sexy? Got a pic? No ****.

Trying to meet some random girls or approach groups on campus. Got any tips on what topics to talk about after your opener just doesn't transition too well? There's always school, but it seems to dry. Not really expecting to get an immediate date or anything.

Why would you care 'bout girls, they're dumb anyway. Your left hand is your best friend, when you feel down and out. It saves you time, money, braincells.

my hand just doesnt do it for me anymore

may god have mercy with you and sends you someone to do it for ya . =)

Attempt number 2:


Ok, knocked the previous girl on the head. High maintenance, can't be bothered.

So there's a girl on my course who is stunning. She's in 1 of my seminar groups but as yet haven't really spoken to her. We were in the same small group for some work once but talk was only of the work in front of us. Not introduced or anything.

Saw her out on a night out a couple of weeks ago, caught each other's eyes, exchanged smiles. Would have approached but she had friends with her.

Haven't got her on facebook but we have a group set up for our seminar group. She posted a question on it, I've just joined the group, and have obviously replied to her comment.

Now, hopefully she'll add me, we'll talk on Facebook about an essay we have due on Friday and then ice is broken to talk properly face to face when we see each other.

Or, she doesn't add me and I just wait for a good time in seminar or night out to talk to her.

Starting from the bare bones here

You're hinging your entire hopes on the following:

1. She'll look at a facebook group, see your name and add you.
2. Not only htat, but she'll initiate conversation with you on facebook.
3. That conversation will break the ice for IRL conversation.

Why can't you just talk to her IRL? Why do you have to hide behind the internet?

And why does her having her friends with her make it so you can't approach? If anything, that should make it easier.

Stop "waiting" (quotes used because it's your word choice) for things to happen and go make them happen yourself.

1. lol
2. LOL!
3. It works that way. So no lol.

And approaching a girl with friends around her is always bitch. Especially if you don't know any of those guys/girls. The guy will be scared, she'll listen to her friend's opinion before forming her own. = Fail right there. Unless the guy's brad pitt kind of guy, who all girls go crazy 'bout.... good or bad reviews recieved by her friends, before she can work out her own is bad nontheless.

Ok I'm not hinginng my hopes on anything- I'm trying this first and as I clearly said, if it fails, I shall find a moment in class or on a night out to talk to her.

I didn't know any of her friends on that night out. Sorry but no one approaches there. Maybe if we'd had some sort of social interaction at all at some point it's mroe feasible, but definitely not when we haven't even introduced ourselves.
As your man there says if I do approach her, I'm having to also win over her mates as well as her.

what the hell are you talking about. this is wrong. this is terrible. karak was correct.

As I say, if it fails then I will talk to her IRL, just at a moment that doesn't scream "hi I fancy you", which randomly going up to a girl you don't know and introducing yourself, does.

it seems like you have already made this too awkward for the both of you. i assume at least a month has gone by without even one word spoken between the two of you while in class+tutorial. you had the perfect chance to introduce yourself to the group of girls and her at the bar. the impending fb conversation is going to make things more awkward. your chance to talk to her was irl the first few weeks of class. you didn't do that so its time to move on. your last chance was the bar and you didn't do anything.

lol this is so awful. fish talk ITT.

Your fear of approaching them comes not from some social doctrine you are following but your own lack of confidence in your abilities to engage in social situations. If you cure this confidence, you can see how incredibly easy it would be to approach these girls.

Seriously, if you guys never approach women who are with a group of friends you don't know... you aren't going to be approaching many attractive women, if any at all. They tend to travel in packs, if you haven't noticed.

And why can't you win her or her friends over? Is there something wrong with you? Are you creepy? Boring?

And this whole attitude of "I have to win them over" is setting you up for a fail. How about I'm going to go over there and give them a chance to interest me... much better frame of mind.

We've spoken in class, just not about social things but about work.
It wasn't at the bar that I saw her, I was walking along about to turn right down some stairs, she is walking the other way towards me with friends, I smile as I carry on down the stairs and she smiles back. However she had at least 3 possibly 4 friends with her and that takes balls of steel to strike up the first "hi" in that spot.

Amazing how the story quickly changes from seeing her "out" (which obviously infers party or a bar) to "passing her on the stairs." WTF?

I'm glad you at least recognize you lack "balls" (your word not mine). Now go get some and stop being such a freaking wuss.
