• Please note: I’m not a coach but am looking for Wings in London, Dubai Or Nice (South Of France) places where I’m usually based so please get in touch for networking Email: darrenpua1@gmail.com

    This list for now is pretty raw and I will be looking to add to it more and more as I get new ideas.

    How to Decide What to Do? 

    Picking your date based on the person personality/ culture  who you’re dating may have a strategic advantage as opposed to just picking what’s convenient to you and your own time . When I started I just went to the same place over and over again without looking at other places that could’ve possibly made the date more exciting and could’ve made certain girls open up more. Try and induce variety in your dates can make the occasions more interesting for you and for the women you date. Will also let you realise what kind  of dates you yourself enjoy doing- mixing dates , locations can make the date more entertaining for both you and the girl so don’t be afraid to experiment and don’t get stagnant. 

     Obviously some locations will  depend on your personality/ habits like  if you drink or not. I personally don’t as I can’t handle my alcohol and after numerous health problems from it I gave it up so from my perspective on this list im leaning more to coffee shops and picnic places rather than areas for booze. If you’re dating a religious girl too or someone that doesn’t drink you may want to think more seriously about good places to hang at night that don’t involve alcohol , a sisha bar  or the Churchill cigar bar in Marble Arch can be a good substation for example .

    Alcohol Or Not?   

    Sober dates can be a good way to improve your verbal , sub-communication      , if you’re someone in the past that has done nothing but dates involving alcohol and getting fucked off your ass maybe up the difficulty level and try a sober picnic or a casual coffee.  This will help you to work on your conversation skills and put you out of your comfort zone and will also help you in the long run with your health and will force you to ram up your convo and general knowledge skills to induce longer , more interesting conversations without the need of alcohol  . Remember we are all getting older you can’t simply rely on alcohol forever as the older you get the worse the hangovers and toll it will take on you and your life in general. Also excessive drinking can harm performance in the bedroom and your productivity especially if you have big rotations or are seeing a lot of women at once you may want to axe the drinking alcohol dates for the cheaper coffee dates . Especially if youre stacking 3-5 dates a week continued drinking might drain you of energy and vibe for other dates so keep that in mind. Add sex into this and the impact on your sleep might drain productivity in other areas of your life too. 

    First Date Types– 

    These obviously don’t need to be done as one set individual location  and if you’re escalating sexually its ideal to keep moving to different locations to keep the sense of adventure running in the date. Try to choose 2-3 locations in one setting. So picking your area that you’re dating is extremely important, make sure this area has a mixture of cafes, bars and restaurants to keep things popping throughout the date. For example an area like High Street Kensington has picnic spots stacked with restaurants and bars which will enable you to do interesting bounces. Places like Marble Arch have unique hotels and bars all located near one another that can make for exciting bounces between each location.  

    Picnics – Can create a sense of adventure and are a great opportunity to lead , pick wine, food together . Obviously weather dependant and isn’t really recommended to do in London in the Winter time. Japanese Gardens in Kensington, Wimbledon Common or Hyde Park are my preferred spots. 

    Casual Coffee – London Is stacked with coffee shops ideally you want to pick ones with couches where you can escalate  , recommendations include Joe and The Juice and the new hot chocolate chain Knoops. 

    Bar and Drinks -Can be easily stacked with other dates and are recommended for anyone who likes alcohol. Make sure you pick bars that are quiet and can enable conversation and escalation my personal favourite is the Nobu Hotel in Portman Road full of sofas and create a quite intimate experience that gives the opportunity for escalation. I would be against picking a loud pub or bar and in stead research for areas that aren’t so crowded so you can actually hear the girl speak. 

    Galleries –  Art Galleries Like Saatchi Gallery , Tate Modern can be good spots to lead especially for students who haven’t previously lived in London. It’s recommended not to long it out in the galleries and try and bounce to a coffee shop or bar area after 1-1.5 hours 

    Getaway Weekend – (Currently writing a separate guide for this)  For long term rotations, keeping interest and excitement high for the girls you want to keep around is key. After visiting lots of the major dating locations in London you might want to consider going to other parts of the UK and arranging getaway weekends with your girls. This will keep up the sense of adventure in the relationship . 

    Straight to Your Place– I had previously written a guide about this that ill be publishing again, but there are techniques you can use to test to the waters to see if the girl w22ill go straight to your place on the first date. This has advantages in that you can get the lay quicker and for girls that are tourists you want to escalate as optimally as possible. However there have been numerous occasions were this has worked out badly for me. 5 occasions I had lmr which the girl never texted me back after- I also had one girl accuse me of just trying to fuck her as quickly as possible. A move of going straight back to yours on the first date might be deemed to quick and paint you as too much of a fuck boy for her early on. In my opinion its best to wait it out and take a couple of dates to build up some excitement – push pull etc. Then go back to yours, of course everyones opinions will be different on this so feel free to disagree. Of course this will partly be determined by how long that girl is in the city for . If they’re a student that just started a 3 year bachelors degree then escalating straight to yours will be risking a whole lot of lmr and gambling away potentially 3 years of sex if you played everything a bit smoother and more patiently. If they are a tourist on a weekend away In London then you need escalate as quick as possible while buying temperature is high.

    Restaurant Dates: Very Difficult to garner success from restaurant dates they’re extremely difficult to sexualise and very hard to convert from, restaurant dates are more recommended when you’ve at least fucked the girl once or else its a massive cash investment for very little reward. 

    Second Dates: You should aim to frame these straight to your place in the ideal world. So set the goal to at least cook for them before the date is set. I’ll be writing a guide about this shortly. But if they won’t come to yours at least frame the date in your location. 

    After You fuck them : Make sure you take them out to a restaurant or treat them somewhere. Ive lost many a girl by treating them like shit after sleeping with them. You should make an effort to acknowledge them so they don’t believe they are being used just for sex and take them out at least once for food afterwards. Some People will see it as beta spending money on a girl but personally I think its ok after you’ve slept with them to treat them once in a while. The better you treat them the longer and better chance you have of the girl staying on your rotation 

    Long Term- 3-5 Dates in : In order to keep the relationship fresh I recommend taking the girl to other cities- remember the more travel and adventure you have with a girl the more you will build a romantic  adventure in her mind which can help secure more of a connection and deepen the intimacy in the relationship. It can also help to keep the relationship fresh if you’re bored of London – I will be writing another guide soon but overall I recommend trips to : Cotswold, Bristol , Lake District as a few other cities and places you can take girls to keep the excitement and adventure high in your relationship. 

    Trips Abroad: Never agree to a trip abroad with a girl unless you’ve at least fucked them once. You don’t want awkward pressure lingering on your date with someone.  Living in a city like London you can do easy cheap flight get aways to many European cities and it’s an easy way to keep the relationship fresh and exciting- I’d only recommend doing this 3-4 months at the very least , make sure you’ve taken them around London and lead them around the UK first before embarking on a trip abroad so you know you can at least trust them that they flip out or create an awkward situation for you. 

    Ways to Keep Up to Date with New Date Locations: 

    London is an ever growing city with new opportunities arriving almost monthly . In order to keep track of these new locations following instagrams of influencers that eat dine out regularly is a great way to keep track of Innovative date locations: 

    https://www.instagram.com/dinewithfari/

    Low Budget Yet Exciting Dates: 

    Soho

    The Positives of Dating in Central London: 

    • Easy for most women to get to and relatable. Of course if you’ve just met a girl on the street meeting her somewhere relatable is always an easy way to usher in an element of safety rather then making the girl come all the way to your area which may be inconvenient for her. 
    • Good atmosphere- Speaks for itself, many girls particularly those raised abroad visiting London for the first time as students or tourists should find Soho an enticing prospect.  

    Negatives: 

    • Loud and noisy especially on the weekends – this can make it potentially difficult to hear her if you take her to a bar that’s too packed. Which can make the romanticism and seduction a difficult task. 

    Recommendations on a budget : 

    Joe and The Juice Soho:

    • Simple Cheap and easy date Joe and the Juice Soho is a basic dating spot to take a girl out in central London , if things are going well there are plenty of areas to go nearby for food and bars for the second bounce. 

    After A coffee you can bounce to Chin Chin Labs which do marshmallow hot chocolates- a follow up to All Bar One is decent for another bounce location.

    • Italian Bear Chocolate-Soho is another decent location to pick which does really entertaining hot chocolates – good cheap and entertaining for a first date along with couches that can be good for escalating. 

    Bit Pricier: 

    • Sketch Soho – Obviously more high end with drinks being a bit more expensive but it’s a unique experience with several bars in one location which can provide an opportunity to lead women you date. 

    Clapham Park  – 

    Picnic Date Idea – Whole Foods then Walk to Clapham Park for the picnic 

    Simple Coffee Shop date- Knoops and Joe the Juice are both cheap and simple locations – Whole Foods Clapham Park has a new coffee shop too which can be stacked well with the All Bar One located just 5 minutes away from it.

    Picnic Idea Date Idea -> Whole Foods to buy the food  then Japanese Garden for the picnic  – Whole Foods itself can be a date location to grab a coffee with plenty of seating, quite busy during the weekends though. 

    Simple Coffee Shop Idea- Knoops, Joe and the Juice , Street Food Markets to eat located opposite to whole foods.  Also some Iranian, Filipino and Iraqi restaurants located 10 minutes away from the station.  There’s also a Megan’s which can be decent for a coffee. Overall high street Kensington is a great place if the weather is good you can move the date quickly onto respective parks, bars etc. 

    Fulham Broadway : 

    Whole Foods is the easy options followed by several bars located nearby. There is a new food court located straight next to the station which is good for a cheap eat. 

    Notting Hill – 

    Recommendations on a Budget- 

    Grab a coffee at Daylesford Organic – if going well there are plenty of ice cream shops around for a second bounce and bars nearby for a third.  Notting Hill is a great place to walk around with tourist girls or girls that are new to London for the first time so just grabbing a coffee at a Leon near the station then going for a walk around can suffice especially on the weekends with the markets on. 

    Mayfair: 

    Shot London : An instagramable  Coffee shop  with decent finesse , pretty packed with Arabs but nonetheless a unique spot in London .

    Potential Date Plans: 

    Selfridges- Selfridges has a decent size food court area with plenty of places to sit there are also many different restaurants and bars located inside so an ideal – there are literally new bars built inside Selfridges every 6 months or so 

    Nobu Hotel: Now im not saying go buy your girl dinner at Nobu , but the bar on the downstairs area serves up relatively cheap small meals and does drinks, teas and coffee.With couch seating its the perfect place for an intimate date and really not that expensive about the same price as you’d be paying for a cocktail at All Bar One but far less louder. Also everyone loves Japanese architecture 

    Churchill cigar bar: great place to wind down after a bar or coffee which delivers a real “London feel” perfect for girls who are tourists or living in London for the first time. 

    Daylesford Organic is also Located here which is good place to grab a coffee although seating can be limited. 

    Idea for Stacked date plan: 

    Selfridges for a coffee -> Nobu for A cocktail Wine, Light snack -> Churchill Cigar bar for more drinks and a bounce home . Make sure you keep in mind the opening and closing times for these areas.

    Or alternatively if the date is a late night one past 9pm you can just go and do the Nobu Hotel to Churchill Cigar Stack. 

    Sloane Square/Knightsbridge

    Sloane Square is an excellent date spot as it has a sweet street food market on the weekends , loads of coffee shops, an excellent gallery and some intimate restaurants and bars. A perfect place to stack several bounces together and a ascetically pleasing safe area to hang around in.  

    Joe and the Juice- JATJ downstairs can be a very intimate spot 

    Saatchi Gallery – One of my favourite spots to take cultured girls great area for a date also right by it are many good restraint bars and coffee shops. 

    Raw Press Juice Bar- Located between Knightsbridge and Sloane Square a beautiful little bar spot . Can be stacked with other areas easily. 

    Pimlico: 

    Daylesford Organic located on Pimlico is a beautiful shop for a coffee. 

    Fulham Broadway: 

    Whole Foods Fulham Broadway is a great place to grab a juice or a snack. There are plenty of bars nearby. Theres a food stall right next to Fulham Broadway station with plenty of places for eating. 

    London Bridge: Borough Market next to the station is a fantastic place to go and grab some coffee or some food then have a drink along the river

    Islington:  In honesty I haven’t dated at all in Islington myself but have clocked a few good places for a drink – Jiji’s in a beautiful square which serves good drinks and with other locations good for a bounce. There are also several coffee shops in the same area.  Megan’s in Islington also has good outdoor seating good for first time round coffee dates. 

    Shoreditch : 

    • Box Park has several decent shops that can be used as date locations – Humble Dough being cheap cool ice cream spot. Plenty of good restaurants and ice cream shops that you can go to afterwards. 
    • Another shop called The Grocery is a good spot for a coffee – Shoreditch itself is visually a very interesting city with plenty to see and look around at so just simply walking with the girl can suffice.  
    • Dark Sugars- Another good location for a hot chocolate and a cool place for a first date- a bounce and walk around Greenwich park might be ideal. 

    King’s Cross Station: 

    • King’s Cross has a plethora of spots to date at with many new restaurants built near the UAL campus.  
    • Area outside Google Headquarters is a decent place to go on a picnic, a good plan and set up for a date here might be to go to the Waitrose nearby – buy food then head outside the google headquarters and have a picnic- afterwards there are many places bars nearby that are good for drinks 

    South East London 

    Wimbledon: 

    Date Ideas- Coffee , Bars Drinks , Picnics 

    -Wimbledon Village is a prime date location with plenty of small coffee shops a great area to walk around with a nearby park perfect for picnic dates. 

    • Demitasse – Good coffee shop in the heart of Wimbledon Village and equipped with couches an ideal first date spot. 
    • Megan’s Wimbledon- Not as good seating wise as Demitasse but an interesting second location option if need be. 
    • A coffee shop followed by All Bar One can be a good date plan. 

    Picnic Idea- Go to Bayley and Sage buy some wine , cheese , sandwiches and other alcohol and then walk to Wimbledon Park which is around 10 minutes away , again said before when buying food for a picnic with the girl make sure the girl feels included in the decision making process. 

    Putney: All Bar one and several other bars located along the river serve as decent date spots. Overall not the best location to date someone and only really advisable to someone living in the area or in a nearby town like Wimbledon. 

    Kingston Upon Thames: A different sort of location in London located along a river it can be a unique town to take a girl out in. Cote Brassier located next to  the river does decent drinks and is a romantic setting if the weather is good. 

  • Why Good instagram photos are key to men’s seductive success

    darrenpua1@gmail.com for networking/ etc.

    Mindful-Masculinity.org follow my blog please 🙂 

    Before I digress into the world of photography and how it can influence a man’s life I would like to first of all state that nothing is more important than continuous approaching for a man as he tries to progress in the world of dating. Indeed great photos do matter a lot as I will make points in this blog post about and it’s important as a man that you look after how you present yourself online. But don’t let it serve as a distraction away from the hard craft of approaching and meeting new women. I’ve found that great photos can serve to support good/strong approaches and reduce my flake count. 

    I’ve been in the “pua community” as an active “daygamer” for around three years now. I’ve seen many faults with my wingmen. Some are overweight, some fail to approach, some have bad posture etc. But a common problem with around 90 percent of my wings was a failure to project their lives on instagram in an attractive and admirable way that will be attractive to top quality women. It’s a common problem and one which many men fail to fix. Either because they feel their “alpha” approach will be enough to attract the girl into their life. A concept which maybe true back in 2006-2010 when day game was starting to gain traction and social media was no where near as important as it is now.  Or because they are simply lazy, unwilling to adapt and change things to fit into their favour  because they are too inexperienced to see where their weaknesses lie. 

    In 2017 I watched a video by TNL instructor Liam Mcrae in which he goes through men’s facebook photos and judges them. Why does he do this? Because he knows that poor photos can put a woman off dating him as which happened to him as one of his tinder matches declined to meet up with him in real life because his facebook had so many weird photos of him that he forgot to untag which the woman saw and was consequently put off by. These videos are vital to watch because it shows the sheer amount of shit , invaluable stuff that men post on their social media accounts that will put off women from meeting up with them. These include: 

    • Poor quality photos.  The mobile phone era has really proved destructive to men’s instagram pages as men aren’t posting photos of any quality . Mobile cameras may seem convenient but almost all bar maybe the iPhone 11 have bad light quality and portray images in not enough detail. 
    • Too much crap posted on their social media. Get rid of self help quotes, political posts and other crap. Post things of real value of you in a good light. 
    • Photos emphasising one thing too much. Photos in one city, too many topless photos, photos showing off something like a good car, too much of you doing one hobby. You need variety to show that you’re someone who has a sense of adventure and purpose beyond just one thing. So if you have a good body don’t post constant gym selfies, if you live in London don’t have all your pictures in London make sure you have them take in a variety of cities across the globe which shows you’re sense of adventure. 
    • Posting photos with a lack of variety. Similar to my last point re;ally but photos should show a variety of high quality high value friends, other women (this will make the woman aware that you have “options in your life” and are trusted by other females. Photos should have a range of poses too, ranging from very masculine serious looks that can portray your strength and confidence as a man to photos of you smiling that show your feminine side. Too many photos of you smiling and you look quite simply gay which will put off women from more conservative backgrounds who lust for more masculine men. These are more dominantly from peasant societies like Russia, Kazakstan etc. Too many photos of you looking alpha may cause you to have no fun or feminine side which may make put off women especially the incredibly beta ones from China and south east Asia. 
    • Immaturity or feminine photos:  too many photos of you drunk, partying, doing stupid shit or seen as a desperate attempt to make you look funny can really put women off . By all means have a funny photo here and there. But too many will put off serious corporate women or women from traditional conservative masculine societies. Photos of you partying maybe good for the 18-21 year old frat party girls but if you close a corporate girl or a career minded girl it may serve as detrimental in leading towards a date. Be very mindful as certain photos may block out certain types of women from your life. Why would you want to do that? Keep your options open have pictures that serve all types of women not just the frat party goers and the beta asians. 
    • Scarcity of photos full stop. Most men have one or two photos on their social media, or just not photos at all. There is therefore no proof to the women that they approach that this man has any life ,friends or family full stop. 
    • Photos with poor quality dress. Aim for at least one professionally taken photo for you in a suit. This will show some serious side and show that you care for your dress sense.  

    What good photos can do for you as a man in your dating life: 

    • Increasing your tinder matches. I fucking hate online, its shit and degrading as man.But if you want better matches then by all means get better photos. They’ve done experiments with a male 7 with great quality photos  v a male 9 with poor quality photos. The male 7 with great photos achieved better matches. 
    • Will create a sense of adventure in the woman’s mind. This is quite simply invaluable seeing as women are far more attracted to life experience than men are (men’s biggest attraction will always be fertility) Its no big surprise that women are attracted to older men and this isn’t based on looks but rather the life experience that older men have been through. They’ve done a lot more interesting shit with their life. Photos can be a way of instantly portraying to a woman the interesting things you’ve done with your life so that you can stand out amongst the 1000s of men who don’t have any high quality photos of themselves doing interesting shit. 
    • Will stop you looking like a rapist or a loner. Women want high quality men in their lives this doesn’t mean you have to be perfect in every-way possible but it does mean you have to portray life in an interesting light that can stop making women think you’re a rapist. One of the biggest concerns women have of dating men on the street is whether or not they’re going to get raped or if the guy is a psycho killer. Having good quality photos is an effortless way to build trusts and reduce your flake count. Ive approached countless women from day-game who’ve said that the photos i had on my Instagram provided them with proof that I wasn’t a serial killer. Even my most memorable lay from day-game was told by her friend not to meet me (for fear that I was a rapist) but she pushed towards meeting and sleeping with me because I had great quality photos. Its a fine margin between success and failure why make something as difficult and challenging as pickup that bit harder by having shit photos? 
    • Can provide lasting benefit, one great shot of you can help you in your dating life for years to come. 
    • Serves as a tool to attract hypergamous girls. Say you approach a lot in universities and you have great photos of you traveling around the world doing interesting things those photos will stand out a lot to a woman’s eye especially if she’s around immature punks as I’m sure she would be if she’s at a university which are often full of guys playing Fifa and doing not much else. 
    • Appeals to different sides of female attraction effortlessly. Photos of you well dress and well organised appeal to one side, photos of you in dangerous places or unique places show good leadership and knowledge. Photos of you in high value areas like 5 star hotels can show a lot of value in resources , photos of you making a speech or doing something artistic on a stage like stand up comedy or music show leadership and creativity. Great photos can really deliver all sorts of different attractive traits of masculinity to the women which on top of a solid approach can serve to maximise your value to her. 

    Instagram Close V WhatsApp Close which is better? 

    The answer is “it depends” on the situation nearly all the time. If you’re approaching a high end model girl with 100ks of followers then I’d go for the personal WhatsApp close as your Instagram is unlikely to impress her as she’s “seen it all before” high end women get their dms absolutely flooded with tonnes of men chasing after them so its no point competing in that level  .In short to summarise if they have more than 2k followers i’d just go for the WhatsApp close first. If they have a low follower count I’d go for the Instagram close as it will be easy to build value with high quality photos as most likely she’s around immature men with no  interesting life experience if she has a low follower count.

     If you genuinely desire the WhatsApp over the Instagram then I’d just ask for the WhatsApp (make sure you have a good WhatsApp photo to make a strong impression when you message the girl) If the girl is uneasy to give you her WhatsApp just say you  understand and say “let me take your instagram you can see pictures of me and my friends realise I’m not a rapist and then we can go for coffee” 

    If the woman is a student or seems a bit on the immature side id go for the Instagram Close, showing off your photos to her can be a fantastic way to show value and life experience that her friends will unlikely have. It gives her a concrete reason to date you that you’re offering value that guys her age can’t. 

    Of course I believe WhatsApp is the more personal way to text someone. But the huge disadvantage of WhatsApp is that its hard to build comfort in the same way an instagram close can. Instagram or facebook you can have the girl see your life and how interesting you are as an individual , it can help build interest etc. in ways WhatsApp can’t. Instagram has the big benefactor that if the lead flakes you can re-engage her by adding high value stories that stimulate her interest. You simply cant do this via Whatsapp, on WhatsApp once the lead is dead its dead…. 

    Always Look to Preserve your Brand: 

    Your photos are your brand. They are how you advertise yourself as an individual, if they are poor quality people wont be excited by what you have to offer as an individual and will look elsewhere to find mates. Make sure when you travel you’re constantly taking good photographs that can enhance your profile 

    Steps to go about getting good photographs: 

    • Delete all low quality/immature/creepy  photos. Get rid of them this is the way you’re presenting yourself as a man to the world. Get rid of low quality crap, the photo of you holding your thumbs up etc.  Have female friends look over and decide which ones they like and don’t like it can help a lot. Take a look at your photos and honestly ask yourself would you date yourself? Get opinions from your male friend’s who have better photos of you. Ideally high quality wingmen who have self awareness of the importance of this side of your dating life. 
    • Ditch the cell phone camera. Yes , just do it. I don’t give a shit what make or model the camera phone is nothing beats a high quality mirrorless camera. Give yourself the best pictures possible 
    • Invest in a high quality camera and decent portrait lens. I personally purchased the Panasonic s1 but there’s a range of  camera’s you can buy that can help towards your image.  The Sony A6300 is a good starting point. People will spend £1000s on a holiday but won’t invest a penny towards a good camera that can help 
    • Invest in a professional photo shoot. Do it, these pictures can last a lifetime and you want the best chance of you standing out. A lot of men will appear to proud to put money on the line the extra £50-100 to take good photos but will plow £100s into unsuccessful dates with women seems a bit ridiculous. But of course most men in the dating world are naive and illogical . 
    • Travel a lot, take a good camera with you and have good quality photos of yourself taken constantly to make your instagram and social media look like you have a fabulous life. Make sure you travel with people that ideally have a knowledge of photography too to get the very best pictures of your trip. Take lots at different angels, try and perfect the way your portray it seems pretentious and stupid but however obsessed you may seem to be about your appearance just remind yourself that this shit will pay off a lot in the long run. Always keep an eye out for high areas that portray high value. If you stay in a 5 star hotel for one night make sure you take a tonne of photos during your stay so that you can show your value and resources. 
    • Try unique shots in unique places. The more unique the shot the more value it adds. Avoid pictures in cliche places that have already been instagrammed a tonne of times . Try and travel off the beaten path. The most interest I got from girls were from my pictures in unique areas like” Kyrgyzstan  , Tajikistan and Uzbekistan  (in central Asia) these were places that most men usually don’t go to. This can build a lot of attraction to the women if they see you doing things that people don’t normally do. It can depict courage , discipline and adventure without you having to do it yourself.  
    • Invest in good editing software like adobe Lightroom or take a photo editing course. 70 percent of what makes photos good is good in the editing. Avoid over saturation and over editing of photos it can come across as needy and try hard. 
    • Get high quality photos of you with male and female friends , women don’t want a loner creep and thats one of the first things they’re worried about when they get approached the fact that you maybe a loser with no friends. It’s therefore paramount that you get high quality photos done with your friends and have a few with your female friends to win additional rapport. 
    • take photos of other men who are serious about posing in a masculine way. It helps to have people on the same path as you and in photography its no different. 

    It’s a competitive dating world out there and men have really far less maturity and common sense to navigate it compared to women. From my life at the age of 16/17 women around me were already taking high quality pictures and investing in model shoots. I had no idea why they were doing it or how come. Till I realised that they themselves were doing it as a portrayal of value to attract the highest quality mates. While men around me were bleakly doing fuck all about their dating lives just jacking off and playing call of duty. Most Puas and men have no real self awareness about how shit their photos are and its a massive shame as they missing out greatly. I mean look at Johnny Berba’s instagram for example a “leading UK dating coach” absolute trash with no real value conveyed. Be self aware of the way you present yourself as a man. It may sound cheesy and corny but it makes a real difference. People ask “but why can’t my approach just create the attraction” in 2020 and in an age of social media and Instagram it’s all about how your portray your life now that’s about it. It seems corny and pretentious but as a man it’s your job to be organised and adapt. 

    Photos ranked in terms of “value”

    Different photos convey your value in different ways and you should be aiming to provide a wide range of photos to convey your brand properly, I’ve arranged them in order of importance : 

    1. Photos of accomplishment- These are by far the photos that tend to get the most likes from girls I’ve found , these photos are perhaps the most important in showing your value and showing off your SMV. Photos of you achieving things in life that other men have done can create a lot of interest and build trust . A photo of me signing shares for a company Im a stake holder in got more likes than any other photo women love accomplishment and its important any time you do accomplish anything that you have a photo taken of it. 
    2. Photos with family. Women love a man who values his family and your instagram should show pictures of this to some extent. 
    3. Travel photos to exotic destinations. Shows your sense of adventure and are very important in terms of building comfort to girls. For example when i stay at 5 star hotels i ensure that my wingman takes pictures of me at that hotel, uploading that picture then shows a lot of interesting traits. That I have enough money to afford staying at  a high end venue ( so I’m not some broke ass loser on the street) , that i have a degree of class and that I’m adventurous.  It immediately deals with a lot of problems the girl might be questioning about you when you’ve approached her. 
    4. Pictures with puppies and kittens. An instant winner and something that girls love , try and get a few high quality pictures with cute animals.
    5. Photos that show a broad range of fashion senses that show your strengths and understanding of good quality fashion.  
    6. Baby Pictures- Always try and sneak a few of these in. Photos of you when you were young can be used to build rapport and play to women’s mothering instincts. 
    7. Pictures with other girls , again this can build rapport to some degree but too much of this makes you come across as a fuckboy. 
    8. Model Shots – one or two of these are fine and should always be done and used as your facebook profile picture and your WhatsApp profile picture. A strong WhatsApp photo is key to making a good impression on girl’s who you’ve number closed. You really don’t want this photo to be a bad or it may give a reason for her to flake on you. 
    9. Pics Surfing or Skiing – I upload a few pictures of myself surfing but no more than that, these two types of sports are pretty saturated on Tinder/men’s dating profiles so make sure you don’t over do it. 
    10. Sports/Yoga or Gym shots- 1 or 2 of these are ok anymore and it may seem like you’re showing off your body to excess. 
    11. Photos of food- other things you do at work etc. These are not so important but may add value if they’re interesting and high quality. 

    What NOT to Upload: 

    • Poor quality  photos, any of these just don’t bother. If the picture doesn’t look nice don’t bother with it . More is not necessarily better , aim for quality over quantity . Delete any poor quality photos off your instagram or facebook now. 
    • Excessive amounts of the same accomplishment or the same thing. For example if you go to the gym a lot excessive photos of you topless or showing off your body may make you look like a one trick pony who’s only goal or asset is the fact that they gym a lot . Too much of anything is a bad thing .
    • Photos with nothing interesting going on, again think of it from the woman’s perspective do you honestly want to date someone who is doing nothing interesting in their life. A complete lack of interesting photos is highly likely to diminish your value. 
    • Shit selfies, i see this a lot on people’s profiles, why? It looks terrible and makes you look immature don’t bother with it. 
    • Not enough pictures with friends. You need photos with other male friends who are also good looking and well dressed to ensure to women you have a social circle that’s worth getting involved in. 
    • Excessive photos with females, as I’ve said before too much of anything is a bad thing . Too many pictures with females will make you come across like a fuckboy and is likely to ruin the romance of the initial approach that you made. It’s best to keep female photos limited. A small amount to show that other females like you but not too many to make the woman think that you have 1000 other women on the go. They want to feel special and appreciated not one of 1000 other women that you’ve approached that week. 
    • Self help quotes – I see a lot of day gamers do this I personally think it comes across extremely immature and bit weird. 

    Instagram Stories: 

    Instagram stories are the number one way to resurrect dead leads you’ve closed from daygame it’s helped me rein-gage maybe girls . You should aim to make your Instagram stories interesting and insightful , some that can easily grab a woman’s attention and should of course be conveying some sort of interesting hobbies or activities that you’re personally doing. 

    Good things to put on your instagram stories (in no particular order) : 

    • Stories of an interesting event or festival you maybe a part of 
    • Stories of you traveling in exotic interesting places
    • Stories of you cooking (can be extremely useful if you cook good food and the woman comments you can comment back saying “i need to make this for you sometime) 
    • Stories of you in high end/ high value places. 
    • Stories of you with cute animals like puppies, if you have a cute pet i would personally put him in your stories all the time it can be a wonderful babe magnet to re-hook dead leads into your life. 
    • Stories of your friends doing interesting things. Shows you have a social circle and aren’t a loner freak. 
    • Stories of your family, always great to have some in there to show that you’re a family man. Plays to women’s mothering instincts. 

    Things you shouldn’t upload stories of 

    • You and girls you date. This is a controversial one but i don’t think its beneficial to other leads to actively show them that you’re dating other women it may ruin chances of getting them out, making the woman feel like second choice or that you’re just a fuckboy. I avoid posting other women at all in my stories unless they’re relatives (and I specifically say they’re relatives in the post, for example if Im with my female cousin I post a picture or story captioned with “hanging with my cousin” . 
    • Anything political or religious , honestly its not worth going into political conflict over instagram and its just going to kill off potential leads . Avoid posting slogans preferring one political party to another it just serves to create conflict or divide between you and girls before anything has even started 
    • Boring stories of you doing boring shit. If you have nothing interesting to post then just don’t post it . It’s that simple, posting consistent boring stories will potential lead to girl’s thinking your life is boring and then offering them no incentive to date you in the long run. 
    • Low value places or drug taking, just photos of you doing shit things like drinking at a pub isn’t interesting to the majority of high value women. 

    How to use pictures on a date? 

    Instagram pictures can be used quite easily to build rapport and trust on date without much effort . I always bring out the pics to show the women when Im telling travel stories, describing what I do during work, talking about history (as i have a lot of pictures about the history of certain areas which serve a political undertone) showing my family and friends and what they do. It can be a fantastic way to build trust and build a sense of adventure. Particularly if you have pictures of the places where the girl you’re dating with is from e.g. when I date a Chinese girl I always show pictures of my time in China.  Usually however the further a picture is taken away from where the girl is from usually correlates to gleaning more interest. For example a girl from Hong Kong might find a photograph from Norway very interesting however a girl from the UK may find pictures from Norway to be very boring. 

    Good Camera Set ups for your Travels: 

    Investing in a good quality camera, lenses etc. is vitally important as you really want to show of your brand as much as possible online. Think about it to the big fortune 500 companies like Apple or Google use half assed technology to show of their brand? No they don’t and neither should you . 

    Follow some youtubers like art of photography to get a more interesting understanding into lens types and understanding the variations of lenses and models. Join facebook groups about the lenses and cameras you have to give yourself a better understanding about how to get the most out of your camera or do what I did and just take a photography course at Jessops. It takes time to study photography but it’s honestly worth its weight in gold in the long run. 

    Good value starting point Sony A6300 

    Sony have the cheapest range of mirrorless cameras and this one certainly is the best value one out there and good for beginners starting out in Photography. 

    The most advanced and expensive setup I use is the Panasonic S1 and 1.4f Lumix Pro lens , its a pricey set up but has gotten me many invaluable shots that I can continue to use in terms of my brand. 

    https://www.jessops.com/c/brand-shop/panasonic/lumix-s1

    Which I take with the 1.4f Lumix F Pro Sense 

    It’s been expensive but massively worth it in the long run to have this set up for me during my travels. Its also enabled be to do model shots of girls Im dating and add direct value to their life as well 

    I usually use the best camera phone out there iPhone 11 as of time of writing this blog post this gives me the opportunity to post high quality instagram stories which can increase my chances of resurrected leads and building intrigue. 

    Also using a GoPro can help for vlogging and capturing travels from a more adventurous angel. 

    How to get good photographs?

    • Travelling is a great way to make yourself look more adventurous on Instagram its one of the easiest and most efficient ways but you need to make sure you’re travelling with people who take photography seriously and can also use your camera well.  Some men think taking good photos is seen as “gay” but fuck those guys you need good photos in order to build your brand and image up. Make sure you surround yourself with wingmen who take photography seriously too . 
    • Taking model photo shots, aim to this a couple of times each year. Make sure you do your research as some model photographers can be woeful and rip offs. 
    • Having an easy to use high quality phone camera at hand so you can get strangers to take photos of you easily. Having a camera too complicated to use (like the one I actually suggested) may make it difficult to get good photos on a whim . 
    • Make sure you have a good quality camera at hand for key points in your life like signing a contract, winning an award etc. It looks like you’ve achieved things in your life and builds intrigue. 

    Other Platforms to Store Photos and Value: 

    WeChat 

     Download WeChat which is the social media platform that is extremely popular around China, Hong Kong ,Taiwan  Macau and is used all the time by Chinese students studying in the UK. If you’re into Asian women you really want to  upload high quality photos on there. We chat is the form of communication in China and its best you use that rather than going for a “whatsapp” or instagram as Instagram/Facebook is not as popular amongst Chinese students as WeChat is  . It’s all in all better to use a mode of social media where you can upload photos win rapport and prevent the girl being scared of you or thinking that you’re a rapist.  WeChat has similar picture upload functions to Facebook and Instagram and when closing a Chinese girl you can simply ask for their WeChat “QR Code”.

    Youtube:

     I do a lot of standup comedy performances which I record using a high quality Sony and Canon Cam-recorders store a lot of them online on a youtube channel. This is great for rapport building when I have women back at my place I can playback the stand up videos. This adds value, shows the woman I’m a talented individual who can make people laugh and have confidence enough  to go on stage. Sometimes I send the stand up videos to girls before I date them if they’re still nervous about me and need more rapport. Once they’ve seen that my Youtube channels have a few thousand views its likely to build trust. I also run a health blog and store instruction videos on there that also have a few thousand views. Again anything that helps to build rapport is worth doing as it results in less flakes in the long run. Make sure to link your creative Youtube projects in your Instagram bio.

    Personal Blogs/Photography Projects:

    If you have an interesting blog or photography project its best to upload a link to the URL website in your Instagram bio which can help greatly with your brand 

    Personal Business: 

    Again the same thing as personal blogs  if you run a business make sure you but that in your Instagram bio as it can help entice more interest.  Make sure your Business website is attractive etc.

    Whatsapp: 

    Having a good WhatsApp photo is crucial to make a strong first impression. Please don’t use shit quality selfies it just makes you look like an absolute creep. Same rules of WhatsApp and Facebook stories apply to Instagram stories. 

    Differentiating between good and bad quality photos: 

    Didn’t include them of me on here as i don’t feel comfortable sharing my face on a men’s dating guide .. thats just me but heres a few travel photos that help build up rapport and interest. Here’s a guide of how I coached one of my Wingmen into getting better photographs: 

    For a lot of guys my friend Steven was a very handsome looking guy but was unable to convey his looks in photos properly and it was causing him a lot of problems, note these following two pictures: 

    Examples of bad and good pictures: 

    These two pictures have obvious problems and are similar to a lot of the ones I see “Rookie Puas” Posting . For one the camera used (a mobile phone) is unable to give us good detail about Steven’s handsome looks which is a shame, the area in the first pic looks boring and the caption seems a bit immature. The second pic inspire of his great body you can barely see him. Not showing off his plus points to the best of his ability. These pictures make him seem a bit clueless and immature along with showing girls he clearly doesn’t care how he presents himself despite having an immaculate body

    After some revisions with his photographs and taking them with a high quality lens we were able to display increased SMV by just having a better quality camera and some organisation and planning over how the photos were taken. These pictures took several attempts but all in all were very much worth the desired outcome of improving his sexual market value 

    This picture above was taken during our day-game trip to Hong Kong at the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, a very high quality classy venue. He’s dressed in a suit displaying self awareness of fashion and the high quality lens brings out his facial features in a way most phone cameras cannot. As a man you have to be aware that the way you present yourself matters a lot to women so you 

    should do your utmost to present yourself in the best possible limelight and to do that you need a good lifestyle as well as someone who is willing to take good pictures of you. 

    Next up we have a better quality beach photo similar to the one in Barcelona but you can actually see him this time. It also brings out his body far far better than before which is a huge plus in terms of displaying his physical traits to the best of his ability. It also is taken in Hong Kong which shows he travels, can be used to build rapport on dates with travel minded girls whilst also offering a degree of comfort by showing he’s an adventurous person. 

    Here above we  have a pic from a high end hotel in Guilin South China, this picture is good for a variety of reasons. 

    1. It shows that he’s staying at high end places which displays value to women that he’s not broke. 
    2. Shows that he’s adventurous going off the beaten trail in the not too popular Chinese cities 
    3. Shows off a strong physique but not it too much of an obvious way like a Gym selfie would . 

    All in all this picture serves to build a lot of comfort in many different ways.  These were just a few examples but its clear to see of how pictures can impact your brand and how you put yourself out there to women. 

    This picture again above is also a high quality photo taken with an immaculate quality lens , its taken at the Harbour Grand Hotel in Hong Kong, shows a huge amount of value and prestige and shows off his body in mature way. A photo like this can build a huge amount of trust. 

    Pictures don’t necessarily have to be of you they can be of places you’ve been on holiday , historical sites etc. But just make sure they’re taken with a quality lens and can make some sort of emotional impact on the people that are looking at them , here are a few pictures from my trips to Chengdu (City in China) and Macau. These pictures can also be used to hook girls and tell them travel stories on dates. It instantly gives people the impression that you’re proactive in your life which is always good to establish early on. 

    As you can see from both of these pictures, theres a high quality artistic feel to them which shows that I’m a good photographer and shows I care about the presentation of how things look both attractive traits. Also the fact that I’m travelling “off the beaten trail” can be seen as an attractive asset as it comes across adventurous.

    Why meet wingmen? 

    The Classification  of Social Circles post university

     After I left university things in my dating life turned woefully low , I had little self esteem or self confidence after everything plunged into disarray as I had 0 women in my life and nothing but my uni friends and my old school friends to keep be company. As I attended parties and social events everything seemed stale and boring. I knew there had to be a way out of this rouge way of living as I needed to find new people to meet with and bond with that could redefine my life in a more positive light. Unfortunately life was not giving me any new social circles that could inspire me to make the change that i really needed. All I had were friends that weren’t interested in moving in the direction I wanted to. They thought day-game was creepy and unjust ironic seeing as most of them were approaching girls drunkingly in night clubs ( i cant think of anything creepier than that to be honest) So i took the plunge and met wings online. Around circa 2017 3 years after i left university i realised i could no longer carry on the way I was without daygame. Tinder and online were proving to be very shit ways to meet women , my social circle had calcified (all the women in it had long term boyfriends) there was nothing left for me to do but to go out and find what i needed for myself on my own. I then went on the wingmen forums like Simple Pickup looking for wings, although this was far from ideal it was a good start to meeting new people. It gave me a good insight into new friends I could make from doing this. Initially i started out meeting low value guys who even though they weren’t going far in life were still at least approaching women. They were still testing the boundaries of what i thought at the time to be incredibly difficult things to accomplish , just the simple act of approaching women was tough enough from my perspective and I’m glad that I finally at least had met some people that were capable of doing that. 

    Friendships for the sake of friendships: 

    When I was at school I had sort of friends not because they offered any real intrinsic value to me other than talking about football and playing football. Then at university i had “friends” but these “friends” never bypassed any level of value beyond being drinking buddies. There was nothing I gained from these friendships outside the stuff we’d do together, drink, do drugs, creep around girls in an informal inauthentic way….and thats about it. Uni ended in 2014 for me, but the habits of my friends from university continued. The friendship circles have stayed the same SIX years on. Six years, plus the 3 years at uni thats an eighth of your life with the same friends and relationships. Of course then theres work. I made friends at work but then again beyond drinking and talking about sports and the same old crap that men talk about these friendships weren’t creative at all. They weren’t inspiring they didn’t offer anything for me and its the sort of shit men get into and get stuck into all the time and its awful. They’re unable to be self aware that to attract women who will stick around they need to build dynamic and interesting lives which includes having friends and other men that they can build with. Unfortunately most men aren’t self aware of this at all. They just make friends with people at school not because they could build a business, or build something with those individuals but because those individuals were there at the right place at the right time….thats it. Just “Friends” because they stood next to one another at the correct time of place. In my opinion if you want to get good at seduction, day-game you will need real friends and a real social circle. This takes times as with anything in life but as I will say many times over that this is worth it in the long run. 

    When social circles end you must move on and be proactive about it.

    The biggest problem I see with guys at the end of university is they cling on to friendships with nostalgia of what that friendship gave them in the past.  A classic case scenario was at university a guy at my school was extremely popular in the “A” team at rugby. He was top of that social  hierarchy and thrived of it. He got a whole lot of women due to being the alpha of the pack. Then university ended thus the rugby team ended and everything he’d worked hard for during those three years condensed into nothing . This is nothing new it is inevitably going to happen when you move jobs , universities , schools that your social circles will dismantle and you must be proactive in creating new ones or else your life will hit brick wall after brick wall. Which is what i found happened to me after uni was finished i was annoying the same old leads from university, I was needy over a few girls that meant next to nothing to me (because I was unable to create new options myself) . It all in all was just not working well for me.  It wasn’t sustainable and i had to be proactive about it. No one is going to change your social life for you except you. And unless you become Dan Bilzerian or Drake you must work hard to build that social circle because lord knows its not coming for you out of thin air, you must proactive about it. 

    Of course the question is never really set in stone but daygame, social circle building and “social dynamics” is rarely something that can be accomplished on your own the fact is that building an attractive and seductive life that women will want to be apart of having good wingmen that are socially calibrated and good friends with you are vital to keeping women in your life for the longterm. Accomplishing big things on your own is tough and day-game , social interactions etc. are difficult to do on your own. If you try and do it all on your own i don’t believe you will be able to reach your potential than you could do if you had solid wingmen. I’ve found that many wingmen I’ve met have gone on to be close friends of mine, potential business partners, travel buddies and have kept life feeling fresh. It’s also made the daily habit of approaching women much easier when I’m around people who just encourage me to do so. Im not around my uni friends who think its weird or creepy but I’m around my solid crew of wings who encourage me and have my back and thats worth its weight in gold in the long run. 

    Modern Day Puas approach to Construction of Social Circles

    Ironically (leaving RSD out of this equation because I’m not a fan of the way that organisation is run) few famous Puas ever talk about having a seductive life social circle that women will want to be a part of. Its a common problem I see with young seducers that enter the seduction scene at 18-26 they have no idea at all about how to create a mature social environment which women will enjoy being a part of. I actually see it being a problem in older Puas or men in dating too, they have no interesting friends for the women he’s trying to seduce to be enticed by.  They are  lacking complete self awareness about this and have no idea what to do about it. Of course can you blame men? I most certainly wont as most people are completely oblivious to how to make friends outside their social circle at school and their work place. Men need to learn how to do this quick…except we were never told and by day-game coaches we are rarely told how to build a genuine circle and what to do to maintain friendships long term. Much PUA content is focused on approaching, analytics of the sexual market place  or just red-pill reddit shit about some 45 year old American’s bad divorce, little is focused on cultivating strong real friendships. Even in the high end scene you will find a lot of fake non congruent people , in the PUA scene you will find a ridiculous amount of these people, its important to learn how to ride the tide and deal with these people effectively and productively or longterm you’ll burn out and it wont be very fun. 

    There is little guidance about it bar the odd Tom Torero wing manning infield video, a few RSD “social circle” game videos that to some degree miss some key points that i would like to address. 

    James Marshall made some decent speeches here and there about it. Dj Fuji also mentioned in his 21 convention speeches that you must find wingmen who open lots of sets. At the time when i first heard this aged 21 i had no idea what “finding someone who opened a lot meant” now i understand and completely agree. You need wingmen who take action and thats one of the key most important factors because as the modern self help phrase goes “you’re the average of the 5 people you’re around the most” if you’re around people who approach a lot you will pick up their positive habits and influences. If you’re around people who get angry, stall and get negative you will pick up their habits too. So its vital that you pick wingmen who’s habits are worth emulating. Pick your wingmen wisely as  you will most likely (because thats how human nature works ) do what they’ll do in the long run. So if you’re around a lot of people who are anxious as fuck and make excuses you’ll sure as a hell do that too. 

    Even after having some success from Daygame, a few lays here and there and some success on day-game trips I realised how important wings were to the equation in terms of lifestyle design . You need a team around you at some stage thats going to be reliable and will help you become a better man and you’re going to have to add value to those in your team . Without doing this things are going to get lonely and maybe even feel a bit pointless. After all what is the point in success if theres no one to share it with. 

    Men’s addiction to fraudulent social circles, how it can ruin your life. 

    Men are idiots, they either have no real social circles or are addicted to ones where they are either addicted to one which they are high up in that might end or wont last its course, like the boss at the workplace or the alpha rugby team captain. 

    Incidentally it was Rollo Tomassi who wrote in his book The Rational Male warning about the harms of “false alphas” He was correct in a lot of assertions , men cling on and seduce women in these false alpha environments where they’re the alpha due to the something that isn’t a sustainable social circle then when that circle goes what was attractive and seductive about them is gone.  Men can get addicted to what makes them alpha even if it causes their life to be distorted. Like men who choose to because diving instructors on tourist resorts so they can sleep with women they teach or men who constantly go to where they are alpha in Thailand and Philippines where their sexual market value is infinitely higher to that of a city like London. I saw it a lot in my social circles with my rugby friends being addicted to hanging out with their old rugby friends at university not because anything spectacular was accomplished in their friendship groups besides drinking excessively and chanting lad stuff at girls. If anything I believe these friendship groups stayed together due to an appreciation of a happier time back at university when they were “the  alpha”. Most men haven’t got the confidence to step away from what makes them falsely alpha and move onto a path that can show them real alpha like finding a good social circle in a city where approaching is tough which will require them to have seductive skills. 

    What good wingmen can do for you? 

    • Help you be more productive in Daygame sessions. A proactive full energy wingman can help you reach your day-game potential more effectively and efficiently they can provide that push and accountability resulting in far less strain on your mind and far more being achieved . 
    • Can help you in group sets.  A good wingman can bring out the best in you when it comes to gaming groups and can be invaluable in this regard, approaching sets can be extremely mentally exhausting as you’re dealing with more than 2-3 different women’s emotions at anyone time, thoughts and feelings ranging from joy to jealousy will occur  this requires a huge amount of mental energy and strong game to combat. A wingman will make this infinitely easier and can buy you time to close the woman you want by distracting the friend and helping avoid the friend getting bitter and jealous. 
    • Can help create a decent social circle for you that women will want to be a part of. Though some people enjoy being a lone ranger a far more efficient and seductive method is to have a social circle that women will want to be a part of thats interesting enough so that a woman would want to bring their friends into your group and circle. This makes it far easier to hold the frame. Think about this theoretically having attractive and interesting friends make it easier for the woman to build trust with you , makes the woman more interested in your life as a whole and can make it easier for help to contribute to you by having you meet her friends. 
    • Can offer support throughout relationships. When i was going through difficult breakups with girls whom I had met via day game it was the supportive wingmen that helped me get through them the most , wingmen can share knowledge and ideas about how to keep relationships fresh and interesting. I’ve learnt a lot about textgame, instagram game and dating from my wingmen, a constant value exchange and knowledge can be made between the wingmen and you that can add a huge amount to your life. 
    • James Marshall’s 21 convention speech about having a good social group   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfR3gsc_YNs 
    • Men need other men around them. You’re far better off with hard working men around you than you are on your own provided you have the similar hard work ethics and desire to get good. I approach far more when I’m with friends than without, I do better in set when I’m with friends than without I’m all together a better more social person when i have high quality  people backing me up . 
    • I’ve rarely seen people keep women , long term without friends and a social circle to back them up. The more lone wolf seducers I’ve seen i don’t seem to be too impressive with their long term results. Men are under the delusion that they can do every single thing optimally in their life on their own are just living in a state of delusion. Does a person who owns a restaurant  cook the food, clean the kitchen, wait the tables and organise the kitchen out? You’ll need to build a social crew thats dynamic and this will take a lot of time but it will be worth it in the long run.  
    • As I said before you will most likely gain your wingmen’s positive habits, if your wingmen are hard working you’ll be hard working, if your wingmen take risks you in turn will take risks .
    • Can be the start  of learning how to coach people. Who better to start coaching than your wingmen? If you bring the best out of your wingmen and they develop well from your guidance you could be suitable for starting to charge for coaching. 
    • Save you time , this is the most important commodity by far that you have and I’ve found my sessions with wingmen to be overall much more productive and they’ve helped me in other ways to secure lays quicker and build rapport with women faster. This overall has had a net benefit of saving me time in my life. Of course there are wingmen that do drain you of your time by turning up late.. Chatting shit, lying , backstabbing, and doing all sorts of illusive shit habits but overall your wings should causing you to be more productive and more efficient leaving you with more time to do other things that you, yourself desire and want to do with your life. 
    • Can be the start of new things for you beyond women. A lot of people you wing with can grow to be business partners , future close friends and people who you venture with to start projects out of daygame. After university finishes it can be immensely difficult to find social circles or new friends so wings can be vital in keeping your social life interesting and unique. I’ve seen many men who fall into a post university rut due to not having new friends to add to their social circle or to improve their life with. 

    Things to look for in the characteristics of a good wingman:

    1. Not overweight – Think from the woman’s perspective especially when it comes to the group sets dynamic that women will often judge the way your friends are far more harshly than how you judge their friends. The reason being for this is that women want to be around cool attractive social circles. So when picking your wingman make sure he isn’t over weight or has obvious character flaws. It reflects badly on you in interactions if you’re hanging out with someone thats low value. Ideally you will want to be with wings who are in good shape and take care of their physique and health properly. This can include eating clean as well. 
    2. Poorly dressed. As with the weight issue , a poorly dressed wingman is the sign of someone with very little care or self awareness of themselves. Think about this figuratively for a minute if a woman sees you being unable to care about your appearance or the way you present yourself then she will instantly think that you’re someone who’s unable to look after her or serve as a proper partner. If you’re approaching women with someone who doesn’t give a fuck about what they’re wearing then once again it reflects badly on you. 
    3. Isn’t autistic/retarded. Again hanging out with guys who say weird shit or scare off sets by saying stupid things once again reflects badly on you . A lot of men in the Pua community have high levels of autism its advised you avoid gaming and hanging with these individuals. 
    4. Make sure that they’re proactive, you do not want to be with someone who constantly has self doubt or judgement, its not worth it. It will drain you, anyone who’s repeatedly negative is not worth your time. Neither is someone whose unhelpful and isn’t helping you out in your sets.
    5. Presents himself well on social media: As i stated before in my other guides about instagram and social media. Its important to wing with someone who takes how they present themselves on social media seriously, good pictures and an adventurous life are key to displaying sexual market value. Increase the likelihood of double dates and of girls liking them in set. Remember women often see wingmen as a reflection of you and your social circle so make sure you pick good ones who are mature and attractive. 
    6. Passionate to get good at this, they don’t necessarily have to be perfect no one is but its important that they’re out regularly and taking action far too many people in the community lounge around trying to create boring chit chat without taking any steps to get good at this , which means they’ll never be skilled at conversation or at making a good scene its a shame but  thats how most people who roll and do anything do, few can handle or persist to get good at anything and day-game is another one of those things. 
    7. Hasn’t got too many bad habits that will infiltrate and disrupt yours, i.e. he doesn’t drink excessively , doesn’t talk rubbish during interactions constantly that will put girls off, isn’t immature, is mindful of others and is genuinely a “giving person”. 
    8. Similar to the point i made before someone who’s open to meeting up people . In the long run if you’re socially proactive you’re going to need to meet people who are genuinely “people persons” 
    9. Someone who isn’t too intense. I’ve met some men who are hyper approach machines who’s over intensity can be too much to deal with for a lot of people 
    10. Doesn’t get easily frustrated , approaching is something that will be frustrating, someone with a low mental capacity for rejection and getting hated is probably not suited to doing this. Ironically I believe the better looking men on average actually take things a lot more personally than the less good looking or less accomplished men do. 

    How do i know if I’m a good wingman?

    • Do you work hard in your sets? Do you open and engage people correctly? 
    • Are you well dressed mature, interesting and with enough conversation to keep things going in set for a good period of time? 
    • Are you interested in everybody and every person? You are going to have to help keep conversation going , even with the fat girls and the girls you aren’t physically attracted to in order to be a good wingman you really have to have passion for everyone you talk to. 
    • Are you consistently adding energy to the sets that you’re in? 
    • Are you pushing wings so that they can be better and enjoying themselves more?

    When i started out on the day gaming journey i wasn’t doing any of this. I was simply standing there not doing anything or opening conversations. I wasn’t adding value. ONLY offer to wing when you are ADDING value to someone first. Or else you’ll come across as selfish, weak, draining and all together you will have wings flake on you. Ask yourself how many wings are coming back to work with you? How many are genuinely interested in being your long term connection or friend ? These are all reflections of your character that you should consider. Don’t be a selfish individual , make sure you’re the one bringing energy and enthusiasm  first and foremost.  It takes time to get good at day-game like anything else and there will always be people at different levels. It’s not your job to coach people but try and offer guidance whenever you can but not too much to the point where you’re essentially offering free coaching. Value your time and the things you do in life don’t stay with wingmen who you believe aren’t calibrated, are poorly dressed , aren’t giving any value but purely taking it form you. Its not worth your time to be around these people. 

    Online Dating and the destruction of Male bonds and friendships

    I often get caught up in debates with people online over the pros and cons of online dating. With many swearing by it and believing its the best way to meet women especially during Covid 19 . But I feel online has left a plethora of harmful side effects that will come back to haunt men in the future. Most notably the lack of real world intimacy with other men as well as women. One of the most positive aspects of online dating was that it bought men together to take action on their lives and on their problems , some of my best friends now are from day-game and those friendships even to this day still yield massive returns both in more relationships/ networking and other adventures. I wouldn’t have gotten any of this had i stuck with swiping on tinder. I believe dating apps further isolate men and can cause real long term problems which don’t serve as adequate solutions to their dating troubles. If men are stuck in their room swiping and fucking the occasional girl on tinder it isn’t leading them to come together and forming real solutions to their dating problems. Far from it, they’re just stuck in bad quality dating habits, unable to really put their neck on the line or create a true tribe of men and friendship circles that women will want to be a part of. Which is why I’m so against online, it stops men from picking up that vital skill of actually putting themselves out there which is so crucial to the development of themselves. I honestly think men would be a lot happier though the daygame and wing-manning path than from isolating tinder and hinge matches and trying to get them in bed with little else interesting to offer the women. Not to mention that day-game wings can build rapport themselves to increase the likelihood of women staying in your life. 

    What to do if you enjoyed your wing manning session with someone? 

    Tell them you had a good time and would like to see them again. Try and find a way where you can constantly add value to them by helping them in their group sets , pushing them into harder sets , mentoring them a bit and offering them support. Maybe seek to make the relationship deeper into a full blow friendship outside of day-game . Offering value in terms of adding them to your social circle ( a good one which has interesting and dynamic people in it) Remember that real friendships are a value exchange this is presented well in the James Marshall video “The Seductive economy” 

    Start by first and foremost however by criticising yourself, was it you or was it your wing man that was making the mistakes in this session. Always criticise yourself first and argue with yourself about what you could have done to make the session more productive. Theres no point in blaming anyone else really but yourself . The action comes from you first and foremost and when you’re walking down the streets of London it should be you thats opening not anyone else really.  If you didn’t enjoy your vibe with him and you were working hard and bringing good energy and value then ditch him. You owe him nothing he’s just a guy you met online after all there will be others after him . Try and offer constructive feedback as to what you didn’t like about him and watch how he responds if he takes things personally then he’s most definitely not the wingman for you.  If you find your wing inept then just say to them that you think its best that you guys see other people its usually quite easy after one session to tell whether someone is right or not to go out with you. 

    Ask yourself the following questions about your wing:  

    Ask yourself did your wing help you in difficult sets or when you needed help? If he repeatedly doesn’t then it probably means he’s a selfish character or not really social enough to get the ball rolling on the difficult sets.

    Was he positive and proactive or draining you with consistent questions? I meet a lot of wings who do nothing but drain, just ask questions, offer no mature value or have any real self awareness . 

    Is he draining or adding? Thats the big question you gotta ask yourself, you cant keep carrying dead weight all the time its not your duty at all to do this you’re not a servant to your wings but its meant to be a value exchange in which you’re constantly helping each other. 

    Did you guys cause more procrastination for one another? This is another common problem I see in wing manning that both people come together and just talk a lot rather than being proactive about the approaches and taking action which makes the situation sometimes worse than before you guys met. Try and avoid this from happening by making sure you yourself are entering difficult sets at all times and not letting the comfort of your friend cause you to not perform to your best. 

    Positive Characteristics you should look out for in your wing:

    If your wing shows 4 or more of these characteristics  that i have listed above then you should keep strive to keep them. Because from my experience in meeting wings online the majority of them wont be very good. Its like anything in life , there will be a percentage of people that you don’t have chemistry with and don’t vibe with. Its like dating, you go on 10 dates there might be around 7-8 of them that aren’t a good fit for you and this is fine. You cant get along with everyone in life nor should you. You should play the field and go out with as many wing men as possible to get a good feeling of who you build a bond with. This will enable you to find new friends, get a good idea of what you really want in your wingmen and build a social circle. But remember things like this take a huge amount of time to work out properly. Its not going to happen over night. Anything thats worth having in life takes time and failure to build as does with building a seductive social circle that women will want to be a part of. Think of it like building a house each person you go out with could be possible foundation, I know people from pickup forums who i met 2-3 years ago that ended up being some of my closest most valuable friends today. If you find yourself going years without making any decent wingmen or friends in the PUA community you need to really look at yourself , analyse what are you personally bringing to the table? And from that personal analysis seek to change yourself for the better so people will want to hang out with you more. 

    Are your group sets hooking or getting bored of you? If they are read more books, watch more documentaries , watch  more stand up comedy shows and/or routines so you have interesting conversation to hook people with. Meditate and do yoga more this will help your mind be more in the moment and an energy and presence that people will really and truly feel. 

    Are you well dressed? Be honest look in the mirror and ask “would I fuck myself?” As immature a question as this is you need to present yourself well for girls to win trust with you and for your wingmen to win trust in you as well. A poorly dressed/poorly groomed individual looks like he doesn’t care about life and will lose trust in his wingmen and women around him. 

    Do you have hobbies and are interesting? If not then get some 🙂 

    Are you part of an interesting social circle that can add value ? 

    Do you have skills and interests that are captivating enough to add value to a social circle that you’re in? I once winged with a saxophone player who was able to get me on the guest list to major clubs in London because he’d played at them before. This is an example of adding value based on the skills you have. If you have high level values and skills , show case them and give to your circle remember it should always be you giving first if you can, if you see that a person is worth while holding and keeping into your circle then seek to help them in ever which way you can. This said saxophone player also drove a very nice convertible and used it to help drive my second ever day-game lay straight back to my house for me . I returned the favour my letting him use the spare room in my house  for him to use to fuck his girls in . This sort of exchange can help build a friendship over time and build rapport more easily with women. That one wing had done more for me in terms of getting laid than any of my friends at university did. Shows the strength that good wingmen can add to your arsenal. 

    What if the person who I’m winging has more value than me? I’ve been around a lot of wings who’ve had more value than me and thats ok. As long as you systematically think of a way in which you can add value in them in return. For example i had a close friendship with 3 wingmen who were all high achieving impressive individuals, on a business and entrepreneurial level I was unable to add any real value to them but i made sure on their birthdays that i got them special presents. One of them was Ghanian and into history so i bought him a book about African politics, he was also into tech and  ai so i bought him a book about the future of Ai. This shows that you value your wings beyond daygame, that you value their friendships beyond simple chasing of women and making the gifts and contributions more personal shows you care about the individual. it also leaves opportunity for that person to be in your social circle for a longer period of time and they will be more likely to return favours to you in the future. In a more simple way you can add value to your wings by bringing a load of energy in field and ensuring to wingmen them at any given opportunity. I once was invited to a house party by a high valued social circle, there was little I could do to add value however i bought a girl a long who I had no feelings for the owner of  the house party fucked her. I was pretty satisfied after that night we went and enjoyed a club night together which i got free entry to and was invited out to future parties in which i was able to contribute to by bringing women i’d seduced from Daygame. Again it’s important to think about a value exchange between those who you really want to keep in your social circle I made sure that the owner of this said house party knew I had at least some seductive skills because I was able to contribute to the party with a girl , I wasn’t some random immature lonely “pua” as a lot of people from forums can be. I was able to actually contribute with something dynamic and real. 

    Problems I see with wingmen today in London Day-game: 

    • Immature wingmen who offer little in conversation skills 
    • Poor Dress and grooming which will lead to more blow outs in the long run.
    • Not pushing into hard challenging sets. 
    • Takes criticism too personally and gets reactive when you criticise them. It’s important for anyone who’s into improving themselves in day-game to be open minded about their strengths and weaknesses. 
    • Critiques you but doesn’t take any action himself . See this a lot with wingmen on forums and chat groups. Constantly criticising and mocking others but not actually taking actions themselves. These people are to be avoided in the long term as they’re most likely delusional. 
    • Complete Inaction and overanalyses coming from wings, remember day-game is fundamentally about taking action and getting shit done, if a wing is overthinking and not doing anything then you will inherit his bad habits. 
    • Autism and a complete lack of self awareness or maturity. Some people in this community are severely autistic and really won’t be of any use in daygaming with. Their lack of self awareness and complete stupidity may see their value to be less than 0 and should be avoided. 
    • So into “self development” that there is no actual self development happening. 
    • “RSD fanboys” that watch all the videos but have too much personal pride to ever do an approach, the day-game community is full of people who want to look cool, look like they never fail etc. But when push comes to shove there’s no real action or open mindedness there. There’s just fear of failure and try hard attempts to “look cool” 
    • People with confidence issues and over analytical minds. 
    • An aura of self entitlement purely because they approached, seen a number of wings get frustrated and angry very easily at  even the slightest rejections. 
    • People who study too much and have no self awareness of how to implement ideas properly. People who read a lot, watch a lot, but when push comes to shove they do next to nothing in field. 
    • Men who cant deal with the actual responsibility of relationships. This is an interesting one but I find that many wings actually blow themselves out or prevent themselves from acquiring any real true relationships it’s a huge shame but many men are actually so use to failure in this area of their lives that when successes come they self sabotage and ruin it for themselves. It’s a sad reality but it’s sort of our habitual nature as human beings to sometimes act this way. Similarly dealing with the expectations on date’s of having to act charismatic and having to bring something to the table in terms of dynamism or interest seems a bit too much for a lot of men who would prefer to be at the pub with their friends or watching sports than deal with responsibilities of women. I’ve personally found that dealing with the success of daygame to be a lot harder than dealing with the failures.
    • Wingmen who burn out due to being unable to manage the workload – this is something i saw in me when i started game and during my day-game career. But i also see it as a problem with day gamers and wings 2-3 months into their day-game careers. Men who are unable to deal with the mental drain of approaching women , the emotions involved of managing numerous different relationships  which can be extremely burdensome for men especially for new day gamers who are not used to this phenomenon of having to date many different individuals and dealing with the insecurities and emotions of the women themselves. Dating is hard, its tiring , it’s confusing and so much random shit can happen at any time so you should be prepared for a lot of failure. Sadly a lot of Daygamers cant deal with the mental drain and you’ll find some mentally aren’t cut out to do it repeatedly. 

    Good wingmaning in field: 

    Great video from TNL:

    Do the hard sets, do the groups that test you and make you strong, you’ll feel happier at the end of the day knowing you did something that well and truly tested your social calibration skills. 

    Pre-Approach: Decide which one is going in first and open up first with one person going in. Don’t go two or three at a time over a group it can look a bit like a mugging go slow and calibrated instead. If the women are hooking for 1-2 minutes  then join in.

    Things to do in set: 

    A decent wingmanning video can be watched on TNL video here: 

    • Always give energy to the whole group never make any girl feel like they’re left out . 
    • Even if you’re winging a fat , unattractive girl make sure you’re still giving her interest and passion the same you would do for someone that you’re interested in , its vital. You must spread positivity in your set even if you don’t like them.
    • Make sure you close the girl you want and the wing closes the other girl , even if you’re not interested in the girl you’re winging you must still close her you don’t want to make her feel left out. If she feels left out she’s likely to say to her friend “ don’t text him he’s a dick” 

    Things not to do with your wingmen :

    • Walk excessively without approaching anyone, then this really becomes a walk in the park with friends rather than a day-game  session.
    • Wait for them for ages when they’re in set. Come on he’s a grown man he can look after himself its your job to be proactive and approach other sets. 
    • Drain him with excessive questions and rubbish that isn’t worth talking about, don’t wear out your friends they don’t deserve it ! 

    Post set: 

    • Try and give each other feedback , praise first before critiquing
    • Keep on approaching with huge effort and energy try not to let the positives or negatives of the previous approach get too much to you.  Some men get over excited when they get numbers or Instagrams which causes them to lose focus. Whereas others let rejection to them so much that they just kill the day with negativity. 

    Ways to meet Daygamers: 

    Posting for wings can be done on the following two forums, i’ve met men through all three , simply post a passionate message looking for mature wingmen and 

    • Pua forums: Simple Pickup forum- This is highly internationally recognised (although is currently down at time of writing) 
    • https://www.puaforums.co.uk interestingly ive met my most interesting wingmen through forums these seem to be the most seriously dedicated and mature men. 
    • Telegram RSD Chat – probably the most effective way to find wings although many can be of poor quality. There are also a good number of fake individuals here who seem to talk the talk but never walk the walk .  Try not to immerse yourself in discussions too much. Your time is precious and shouldn’t be spent trying to convince some noob end in their mother’s basement on your opinions on day-game or relationship dynamics. Getting into spats online is just a waste of your mental energy so try and avoid too much conversation and try and see who’s being proactive and taking action. You can only solve this issue by taking action yourself  in the first place of course and “leading” others to do so with you. 
    • SoSauve Forum –  This was the forum that got Rollo Tommasi his fame in the book The Rational Male Although this is far more international than puaforums.co.uk that tend to be more localised to the UK .  Be aware that in certain muslim countries sosauve forum is actually blocked I was actually denied access to it while travelling in Kazakstan  . 
    • If you watch and see someone else stopping a girl on a street and you liked his approach go and speak to him be upfront with him about what you liked. Make sure you add value to him first by giving him honest compliments and ask in a forward manner to exchange numbers. 

    Meetup groups: Tom Torrero Frequently holds meet up groups that he talks about in his podcasts as do other London Puas like James Tusk . 

    Further Commitment with your wingmen : 

    Gaming Trips: Before you commit to a gaming trip make sure you’ve at least had 10 or so days out with your wingmen before committing to a gaming holiday. This will be a great way to enhance your relationship with your wing and you’ll be able to pickup on his good and bad habits that can make you realise whether he’s worth of starting a hustle house with or not. Be sure to pick someone who’s open to new things , who can offer value and insight . Make sure you bring a top quality camera and take photos of one another to enhance your Instagram profiles and show off your value to women.  I recommend low investment gaming trips to begin with to a nearby city or country. If you’re UK based a trip to Ukraine or Albania will be very cheap and affordable to do so if things were to go wrong it wouldn’t matter that much as the trip wont have cost much to begin with. Only after you’ve built some long term trust with your wingmen should you big longer distance areas and more expensive holidays like to South East Asia etc. 

    Hustle Houses 

    Having a hustle house is a great option but make sure before you choose your wings carefully. Make sure you’ve spent time gaming with your wings for at least a month to get to know their flaws and their strengths. Its important you find someone you vibe with well , who girls enjoy being around . Remember women will judge your friends almost as much as they judge you. Make sure you’re loyal to those wingmen who you choose to room with in the same way that they should be loyal to you. Hustle Houses can make maintaining good daygaming habits a lot easier to do and will make your daygaming journey altogether more efficient.  Maybe start off with a day-game holiday first to see if you can cope with your close day gamers habits first. Don’t rush into a flat share with some random chode from a Pua forum you really need to pick your team wisely and take your time deciding who’s good to commit to. 

    Tips for a good Hustle house: 

    • Make sure you can absolutely trust the  wingmen you are with. I’ve said this twice and repeated it but its just really important. You don’t want fights , conflicts over girls etc. to occur a few months down the line. 
    • Pick a good location one which you’re near to areas of large footfall for example in London somewhere near Soho will be a good idea.  This will avoid procrastination that comes with moving to desired daygaming spots. 
    • Make sure the house is clean and tidy at all times. 
    • Make sure the house is stacked with food, wine and other alcohol for potential same day lays and parties . 
    • Make sure your wingmen have good conversation skills and are genuinely “people person’s” this is probably the most important thing to have in a good wingman. You don’t want your girl or her friends to be put off by retarded things that you and your wingmen are saying to them. You want to make sure that your wingmen are providing mature conversation as women will often judge your friends in a similar way to how they judge you. They don’t want to date someone who has loser friends. 

    Things to do to enhance your hustle house’s relationship with your wingmen 

    • buy birthday presents for your wingmen to show you appreciate their value – this may seem like I’m joking or being childish but showing appreciation to your wingmen is crucial for maintaining a proper friendship and relationship with them. 
    • Cook for them occasionally 
    • Contribute to their parties they host by bringing a camera to take pictures or alcohol or something which they will appreciate / bring women along to prevent said parties from turning into a cock fest. 
    • Show respect towards their woman, never insult your wingmen in front of their women
    • Obviously never hit on a wingman’s girl. 
    • Be clean and show strong habits that can improve day-game regular meditation and yoga being two i love to do. 
    • Always try and add comfort by listening and being attentive to your wing’s women. Add maturity to the situation by asking questions to her and showing respect towards your friend in-front of her. 

    Good quality wingmen last a life time most women ultimately won’t 

    This is one thing I’ve certainly noticed having done day-game for a period of 3-4 years. Women will come and go especially in busy cities like London which has many tourists and students coming in and out of it all the time . Building a solid social base is crucial and much more sustainable than relying on women to for fill that with you especially as overtime these women will have different goals and aspirations as you. I’ve held at kept a good decent 10-15 wingmen in my social circle through time and this has been vital to my growth as a human being and honestly the new friendships I’ve made from doing this have been far more valuable than the women themselves that I’ve met. The men themselves have definitely added more long term value to my life than the women have and this has made me realise the importance of a good , strong social circle hence why I wrote this guide. 

    Conclusions:

    The ideal self help guy , as James Marshall put It in his speech “The Tim Ferris” Fan boy is one who is constantly obsessed about being the best person he can be, optimising his health , smashing it in business dating relationships, working out at the gym , eating 2 grass fed steaks, working 12 hours, then learning languages for 2 more hours , then learning to paint for another 1 hour before optimally approaching 5.6 girls and doing it all on his own before going to bed thinking he can constantly do this for the rest of his life without getting worn out. As I’ve said before this is an unrealistic goal yet one many men try to reach for some reason, maybe its an ego thing maybe its a negative by product of excess self help reading but nonetheless its a byproduct and it seems to be ever present in our society of self help gurus that really think we can work 20 hours a day by ourselves and achieve everything all at once its laughable the amount of men who honestly think this to be the case . I don’t blame them, i blame their lack of self awareness when they grow up. As we are not told about these things at all, I blame self help books a lot and see them as a forefront of the issue of our lives. All in all i just want to say to people reading this that i hope you’ve decided to go out and make some friends who have the same mission as you whether that be in seduction or something else. Having strong responsible men around you makes everything in life just a whole lot easier and saves you a huge amount of time and effort. 

     A lot of wingmen suck but that’s life, a lot of people suck at a lot of things. A lot of bankers suck, a lot of teachers suck, politicians bar maybe a few in Iceland suck hopefully after reading this you’ll be inspired to find some girls who suck 😉 just kidding . On a serious note my journey getting into this was a tough one as the first 8 wingmen I met were extremely weird, not very social , didn’t have much going on in their lives and were extremely toxic. It was only until six months in my journey that i actually found wingmen that were worth hanging around with long term and many of them became some of my best friends. The thing as I’ve said before and ill repeat again this shit is hard and you cant do it all on your own. You will need support to do well in this because no one can do it on their own… well a few can but most I’ve seen that have garnered long term genuine success did it because they were part of a team. it can be frustrating gaming with people who have no social awareness, or any self awareness about how they act or offer value to people. Indeed this has been a frustration of game has been meeting too many people who were totally inept at offering any value to women or to their wings and of course its frustrating being around these people but you gotta go through it. Finding wingmen is almost the same as finding good quality women to date there are loads that aren’t good enough, loads that wont like you or wont vibe with you but in the long run you’ll find those who are worth it and who make everything seem worth it in the long run.

  • Areas around London to game, a full analysis by Darren PUA 

    Disclaimer: I’M not a dating coach I’m not trying to sell any services or coaching . This blog is just a few of my experiences in London . Im based predominantly in London, Nice/Monaco/Cannes ( South of France), Dubai, San Fransisco  or Dallas. If you’re in any of these areas feel free to email me or hit me up for networking at darrenpua1@gmail.com No complete beginners or time wasters please must have some degree of maturity and value.

    The importance of continually moving around as a PUA

    London is a packed place and its important to innovate and move around when doing day game here, make sure you are constantly moving around and gaming in different spots. Making yourself open to new exciting relationships with a variety of women. Don’t make that beginners mistake of getting bogged down in one area. Its terrible far too many people start day gaming by going to Oxford Street and staying there till they die. This is the worst most predictable way to do your game. Move around constantly and try your day game techniques in as many different places. Its possible to get laid everywhere. Here contains the best times and worst times to visit the top places to do day game in London its still possible to get laid during the worst times and its still possible to get blown out like a motherfucker during the best times. Don’t let this install unrealistic expectations or limiting beliefs.  I’ve also laid out additional information for where to go during bad weather and chains of shops you can target to meet high quality women. I’ve adapted this guide following the 2020 Covid Pandemic to give people ideas of where to go and game even in this current situation. Please note that women are still extremely friendly and upbeat most of the time and there’s very little to worry about. 

    Getting noticed: Its important not to spend too long in one university area , I’ve gamed a lot in south ken and started getting noticed by the same girls there, nothing wrong with this but you don’t want to constantly be in the same area everyday especially a uni campus as you don’t want to build a reputation . Do one university campus one day and don’t come back to it the following week. Keep it fresh 🙂 You also don’t want university staff to notice you in the long run, avoid approaching near guards and uni teachers that work there. Its fine most of the time, but if you’re gaming somewhere 40 times a year you want to avoid approaching near staff.  Likewise for shopping areas  you really want to avoid constantly approaching infant of security guards or approaching people who work at areas you like to go often in order not to risk yourself getting banned.                                  

    Getting outside of your comfort zone by reframing in a positive way .This I find to be so important a lot of people I meet that approach in the same place mainly in central because they are comfortable with it. They never branch out for fear that the girls in an area will be weird or will be low quality, this is seriously limiting your chances for meeting a variety of women, London is a big city don’t just stick to Leicester square like a basic bitch pickup hoe. Ive been around a lot of PUAs that have approach anxiety in certain areas because they believe women in one area are too good for them compared to women in another e.g. one wingman had approach anxiety in Canary Wharf because he thought the corporate girls there were too good for him this was a limiting belief set by the area of London he was actually in.What you should look for is a positive reframe. Think to yourself girls in Canary Warf are corporate girls looking for more intimacy than their job in the investment bank provides them. Not all rich girls in Harrods are basic bitch instagram hoes, some of them are normal girls looking for intimacy. 

    Don’t let rejection in a certain area make limiting beliefs about a certain area that you are gaming in . Just because you got 2 rejections in Knightsbridge doesn’t mean that every girl in Harrods is a spoilt ass gold digging hoe. You need to do 40-50 approaches in an area before you can give rise to judgement over the women there. 

     Maintaining a positive attitude during Covid- Focusing on the Positives: 

    Whilst Covid 19 has made some things a lot harder it’s important to maintain a positive attitude during your Daygaming experiences in London. Start looking at the positives and there are many: 

    • People’s continuous reliance upon technology will lead to them yearning for more intimacy giving day gamers a huge opportunity to provide people with real intimate contact.
    • 10000s of Students have moved into this city looking for people to meet and have new experiences who’ve had limited opportunity to meet people at their universities due to Covid thus giving day gamers an opportunity to make an impact on people’s lives
    • People are currently lonelier than ever now giving those who approach during day-game an advantage 
    • London will always be a city full of individuals flowing in and out. Whatever happens in the near future there will always be opportunities there and you must be open minded about them
    • Always remember as a famous PUA coach James Marshall said “youre only one approach away from a relationship that can change your life” and you need to be open to these opportunities as they can happen at any time anyplace. Don’t use Covid as an excuse to stop being social
    • “But she’s wearing a mask” Is a shit excuse, talk to her and try and connect with her anyway , being proactive is way more important that making excuses and doing nothing. 

    Picking a location to game based on what you want in your women in your life: 

    • Make sure you sit down and really think what you want in a woman then go there and be proactive and try and get it. Many first time PUAS simply just go to Oxford Street or Central with no real plan of what sort of girls they want . 
    • Like sports girls for example? Approach outside gyms, preferably high end gyms like Third Space look for where the women with the habits you want are. Im very into health and fitness and run a fitness blog so for those into healthy foods i recommend approaching in shops which put a huge emphasis on Health and Wellness like Daylesford Organic Chain or Whole foods/ Planet organic. There are literally 100s of places that can fit the habit demographic that you want so think clearly about what YOU , yes the YOU the person who is reading this wants in his life. 
    • This also reaches into nationalities what nationality are you into and pick locations you want to approach them in based on that.  If you’re into Arab women for example Kensington outside of Harrods is the ideal place. Similarly if you’re into Eastern Europeans High Street Kensington and Knightsbridge are two great places to game for them or if you like Iranians then West Kensington has a high Iranian demographic. 
    • Picking university sites maybe of interest to what you’re passionate about . Like Sciences then approaching outside of Imperial college might be your best bet or outside of UCL’s engineering facility in Russel Square. Into more arty girls or passionate about things like Drama,Fashion etc. then approaching outside UAL will give you a better chance of forming the connections you want. 

    This part of the guide i haven’t had much type to upgrade seeing as my knowledge is limited but I’ve put a few places 

    High End Places to Approach and meet interesting women into fitness and health:

    • Outside Equinox gyms -high end gym chain full of high quality women all around London 
    • Third Space, another high end gym chain that has a large group of quality  girls into fitness and wellbeing . 
    • Any of the Daylesford Organic foot shops (the most expensive organic food shop in London) with locations in Sloane Square and more . 
    • Whole foods  – Chain of health food stores usually have a large amount of people to approach in  
    • Planet Organic- The Tottenham Court shop used to be packed full of students but due to Covid 19 its now shut. 

    Eastern European Women: 

    • Huge Demographic in High Street Kensington and Knightsbridge 
    • Sloane Square 

    Arab Women: 

    • Knightsbridge 
    • Marble Arch/Selfridges 

    Latino Women: 

    • Holloway Road 
    • Elephant and Castle

    Asian/Chinese/ Korean/ Japanese : 

    • China Town
    • Wanyoo – Gaming Shop  (has a surprisingly large amount of Chinese girls coming in and out of it) Chain in Charring Cross , Canary Wharf and Leicester Square. 
    • New Malden/Wimbledon highest Korean Demographic outside of Korea. 

    Long term versus short term-University Students V Tourists 

    Day game is capital intensive and exhausting on the brain, its also immensely rewarding but you must be self aware of where you’re spending your time. If you spend your time on tourists and you are working a hectic career think is this date worth your time? A date takes a lot of time and tourists more often then not disappear forever after they leave London so think with yourself is this tourist worth my time? If your time is limited it’s better to be around in places where there are university students because picking one of them will result in 1-3 years of sex in comparison to a tourist which will be a week of sex at most. The time you spend in student areas will yield you more sex over a time period.

    Universities also have fresh students each year and every 6 months on exchange programmes. Also during summer time summer school opens up a window to gain access to other new women as well. 

    Recommended Walking Routes for day-game 

    South Ken ——>  Knightsbridge —-> Sloane Square 

    This is my personal favourite recommended walking route starting in South Ken then walking to Knightsbridge and Sloane Square. Lots of uni students, high end shoppers and rich locals. 

    Kings Cross —-> Russel Square —> Tottenham Court Road 

    This is a fantastic route which can again be covered at all times of day  which i recommend from doing from September to October when Universities start . Packed full of students walking on this route you’ll have no trouble meeting a wide array of students.  Recommend doing this until around 7pm after which it can get quite dead in Russell Square and Tottenham Court Road. 

    Shoreditch High street —-> Liverpool Street then train to Mile End . 

    Both Shoreditch High Street and Liverpool street have a great young crowd and a tonne of students to game 

    Covid 19 Spots – 

    During the Covid 19 pandemic its been harder to find good spots for foot flow, I therefore have decided to update this guide to include a few places you should target when doing daygame to optimise your results. Theres still plenty of opportunity’s out there and although some places have gotten worse a few have gotten a fair bit better. Even if some places are a bit emptier you should still reframe it as a positive opportunity to stop people more easily and efficiently . 

    Places id target during the pandemic: 

    Soho -6pm 10pm 

    Knightsbridge from 12-7:30 pm on weekends and 5pm-7:30pm during the weekday. Due to Covid 19 Harrods is closing earlier but still has fantastic foot flow 

    Selfridges- Not as good as it used to be Pre-Covid but still interesting nonetheless and still with a decent foot flow especially on the weekends. 

    Canary Wharf – Has picked up a lot in terms of foot flow with a large amount of students and finance workers here . 

    University Campuses: Most universities will be restarting as normal from September 20th onwards and they represent a great opportunity to meet women who are new to the city. Also women are in general attracted to life experience and maturity so if you’re a man with good SMV you can really trump the 18-21 year old beta uninteresting/ immature males that female university students are around. I tend to get by best successes around September/October time around unversity campuses . 

    University Campuses I’d recommend: 

    • Queen Mary’s -Mile End 
    • Imperial College -South Kensington 
    • UAL -King’s Cross 
    • SOAS/UCL/ Birkbek University  – Tottenham Court Road 
    • North Greenwich – University of Greenwich 

    All these areas will be packed and with Covid 19 there will likely be less social events at these universities giving more opportunity to men who game around them to meet women who are lonely and bored. 

    Soho

    – In-spite of there being a current Covid19 Pandemic Soho is still very active on Fridays and Saturdays and even during weekdays with a variety of people eating out. 

    Pros: 

    • Large footfall of people including new students who are coming to London for the first time 
    • Huge array and variation of women . 
    • Women can be very up for meeting here at night and can be a great place for instant dates with women drunk and more socially open. Of course some might be less socially open and be hyper defensive due to them being approached non stop in this location .  

    Cons: 

    • Difficult to stop people in packed areas especially the small roads. 
    • Security can stop you sometimes if you’re approaching women that are eating at the restaurants there. 
    • Very little narrative. Because there are a huge array of Puas there it can be extremely difficult to create a romantic impact on the girls there given that there are so many guys approaching therefore your approach no longer seems to have that “ alpha” impact that it would have in an area in which people don’t normally approach in. 
    • Women can be excessively open here not because they like you but because they’re just drunk, can be difficult to vibe with someone when they’re intoxicated. 
    • Without a wing its going to be difficult to garner interests from groups and lone walking on a Friday or Saturday night isn’t really depicting much value. Make sure you get a wing before you chose to approach here.
    • Can be very dead during certain days. 
    • Large crowds usually require a strong stop or people will treat you like a beggar etc. 
    • With drunk women you’re going to need a lot of energy to make an impact on them so an introverted individual might struggle in this environment. 

    Best Times: 

    Friday-Saturday Night 

    6-10pm 

    Monday-Thursday 

    8-10pm 

    Worse times : 

    Monday to Thursday 

    9am-4pm 

    Ways to enhance your experience in Soho: 

    • Get wingmen as I mentioned earlier  I’ve always been in favour of wingmen but in soho in the night having wingmen is much more optimal than doing it on your own. It just is .  Especially with the party atmosphere to win time you really want to be in a group of men that vibe socially well with both you and the women 

    China Town : 

    Another place which during Covid  is actually more packed than usual in some sense. China town has great foot flow during the weekend with a lot of people going out to eat also during the week days between 7-10pm 

    Pros : 

    • Large Asian foot flow if you’re into Asians then this place has a constant stream of Asian students coming in 
    • At the end of the road where the restaurants finish in China town there is a section of desert and ice cream shops which are often packed on the weekends with people students. A great opportunity to flex your skills with group sets. 
    • A lot of groups of people walking around with so a great opportunity for double dates or to catch girls that haven’t decided where they’re going to eat yet. 
    • Korean supermarket and Sainsbury’s nearby which are both open to very late offer a good opportunity to game in bright light. 

    Cons : 

    • You really need a wing to make the most of this place as there are large amount of groups hanging out here. 
    • Can have a weird vibe with the prostitutes and sex workers that hang around here.
    • Very close to the “Pua laden spots” 

    Instant Date Spots: 

    Numerous Ice Cream spots and bubble tea shops make for nice “low investment” dates. 

    Shoreditch High Street 

    Pros: 

    • Very young crowd here a lot of people working for startups and various “millennial” companies 
    • Good percentage of people who live here are students going to Universities like UAL. 
    • Lots of great instant date spots , coffee shops, doughnut places, bars etc. Shoreditch offers a fantastic variety of things to do . 
    • Cons: 
    • Can be surprisingly empty at times in the weekend and weekday . 

    Best times to go : 

    After work hours

    5-8pm Weekdays 

    Notting Hill 

    Pros:

    • If you’re into your high status and highly accomplished women here is the place to be. A large amount of celebrities live and work in this region of London and it can be a great place to game mature and sophisticated individuals. 
    • A lot of high status and sophisticated shops, Planet organic , high end gyms etc. Make for a good consistent footfall and mix between tourists and locals.  The more high status an area the increased likelihood you’re going to find mature women who have a lot going on in their lives and therefore increase the probability of interesting dates. 
    • Huge amount of coffee shops and places to go for an instant dates leaves you with a tonne of options .

    Cons: 

    • Not that many young people 
    • Can get quite dead after 6pm 

    Good Instant date locations : 

    • Daylesford Organic Notting Hill 
    • Leon Coffee shop next to Notting Hill Station 
    • Planet Organic 

    All fantastic places for a coffee. Notting Hill is a very attractive and unique place to go for a walk with girls too. Just for simple dates its a lovely little spot. 

    Best Times :

    Weekdays 11-6pm 

    Weekends 9-6pm 

    Notting Hill Carnival ( Though this can attract a lot of drunk individuals. ) 

    Worst times: 6-10pm at night  on a weekday 

    Sloane square 

    Pros:

    • Everyone here is BEAUTIFUL . Even if you got high standards Sloane Square is too high for you including the hottest English girls. The area with the old English money has migrated too Sloane square is full of high quality women probably the best looking in London. 

    • Unique art expeditions on Friday and Saturday mean unique high quality women will be there too.

    • The Saathchi art gallery is a great place to game tourists (also a good place for dates) 

    • Theres a joe and the juice there amazing date spot

    • Generally a good spot for high quality classy women to be around in . 
    • Also has a Daylesford Organic food shop which attracts a number of women. 

    Cons :

    • During working days it gets really quiet Monday to Friday after 7pm,

    • Egotistical rich kids might be too much for inexperienced day gamers to handle 

    Best times :

    Monday to Friday 4-7pm (after work rush) 

    Worst times: 

    Monday to Friday After 7pm 

    Instant date spots: 

    • Joe and the juice.

    • Saatchi Gallery can be a good place to walk around during a date 

    Knightsbridge

    Pros:

    •  Full of high quality women in Harrods and high end retailers throughout the place. 

    • Rich girls all over the place so no need for the provider frame 

    • Excellent around Christmas time, girls love shopping in Harrods for their relatives. 

    • Iconic place where tourists and women love. 

    • Close to imperial college University and good museums. 

    • The road outside Harvey Nichols is full of rich girls with amazing fashion senses. 

    • During University weekends a lot of students come and shop here so its a good place to get long term leads from women who might be bored at isolated universities outside London .
    • Great mix of women, if you love Asians this place is packed with them if you prefer Eastern European or Arabs Knightsbridge has them too. 

    Cons : 

    • Arab women may be alienating to some individuals. 

    • Too many families at certain points might get annoying

    • Only one street, the conservative Arab influence might get annoying

    • Streets outside harrods can be narrow 

    Best times 

    Monday to Friday 6-10pm 

    Worst times

    Sunday after 6pm when Harrods shuts it can get very quiet and is there is no reason for anyone to really be there. 

    Good date spots:

    Cafe Nero and Costa both great for instant dates.

    El and N Coffee place right next to Harrods is a fantastic spot for a nice coffee.

    South Kensington (University campus area) 

    Pros: 

    • Imperial college is a great place to game women as the boys who study at the university often do a very analytical degree meaning their game will naturally suck. Therefore if you date someone from there you don’t have to deal with much competition since everyone is beta as fuck there. Imperial college is seen as a nerdy uni as its one of the best in the UK but is still full of hot women and the plus side the women who get in are probably intelligent and high quality . 

    • You can actually get inside the uni , unlike the King’s and UAL, imperial’s security is far less stricter to get into , you can go inside the food court area and game people there and no one has confronted me about anything as of yet.  (Although since Covid has happened this has been a lot harder to do) 

    • Great museums near by mean you get a mix of high quality tourists also the luxury shops in the area give rise to high quality women. 

    • The walk from South Kensington to Knightsbridge is usually fairly full of good high quality women . Also the large roads make stopping people pretty easy compared to otther places. 

    Cons: 

    • Imperial college is still quite a male dominated uni (70:30 percent)  Boy Girl ratio

    • Quality of females isn’t as hot as other uni campuses. 

    • Can be full of families and school trips although at the time of writing during Covid these groups are now a lot less. 

    • Women in science unis can be over analytical and quite sexually frigid sometimes, especially at a university like Imperial which is prestigious this can lead to a few issues of women being egoistical and lacking a sexual spark because they are very focused on work. 

    Best times: 

    9-6pm Monday to Friday the uni area is good all the time 

    Worst times 

    Saturdays can be packed as fuck 

    Instant date spot: 

    • ILY cafe next to the pret opposite the station is the best most intimate spot 
    • Leon Cafe shop.
    • Starbuck’s next to South Ken Station  

    Kings Cross Station / University of Arts London 

    Pros: 

    • Full of variety. amazing place to game women, many different types of women coming from all types of backgrounds using kings cross. 

    • If you get blown out women change often because they are catching trains therefore you’re unlikely to “be seen” by the same women

    • Always packed even on Sundays, Sundays can be a difficult place to game as most areas are empty even uni places with shops closing early it can be difficult to find a good sport to game. 

    • Near UAL which is 92 percent women and 8 percent men, of those 8 percent of men 6 percent of them are gay. Which is fantastic for game. You will have no local competition for the women you wish to date , the women you date will also lack options which is great for the long term dating plan, even if they flake on you they might change their mind afterwards and come round duets a lack of male options.

    • Wide open roads that make it easy to stop women, no more barging in the way of people on oxford street. 

    • Markets on the weekend and during the weekday mean a variety of tourists and people will be around

    • Amazing spots for instant dates, lots of grass near the google building leading to a naturally peaceful place for an instant date

    • University halls for King’s and UCL students are also nearby. 

    • People at this uni are arty fashionable and usually rich. 

    • The Walk from King’s Cross station to Tottenham Court Road is usually full of students and has tonnes of opportunities to approach. 

    Cons: 

    • A high discography of asian women at UAL, in-spite of this there are many women at UAL (University arts London) from a variety of backgrounds but id say its around 70 percent asian. This still leaves 30 percent non asian women a lot of them are very fashionable and great to approach. 

    • You cant get into the UAL campus unlike Imperial.

    • At peak times people are often rushing for trains which can make it difficult to stop them. 

    • Since Covid the campus has been a little more quieter however this disadvantage has been outweighed by the positive of more people than usual actually drinking outside the bars. 

    Best times 

    Weekend: Anytime is good 

    Weekday 9-5 pm 

    When bars shut during the week at around 10pm  theres great opportunity to approach people now due to cover

    Worst times

    Cons: 

    • Other than students theres not much in the part of London 

    Instant Date Spots: 

    • Costa Coffee right next to the station 

    Mile End 

    Pros:

    • Queen Mary’s university is there and the volume of students that haven’t been approached. The uni accommodation halls are nearby which is also a possibility for a same day lay.

    • Very near Liverpool Street and old street so it’s a good place to approach in and move on to other places 

    • Very large amount of students and a good diverse range of females. 

    Cons

    • After 6pm and the classes finish during the day it can get absolutely dead 

    • If you work a Monday-Friday 9-5 job this place is going to be difficult to game in as most of the footfall is actually during working hours due to the heavily student orientated population. 
    • When there is reading week and term stops the place can get pretty dead. 

    • It’s pretty grimy and polluted

    Best times 

    Monday-friday 9-5pm 

    Worst times 

    Monday -friday after 7pm

    • Monday to Friday before 5pm it can be really dead. 

    • Can be awkward if it’s empty to run away from girls who blow you out you out it maybe tricky to open again in the shopping mall . 

    • Quality can be quite working class/lower middle class I tend to find Knightsbridge or Selfridges to be better.

    Coffee shops all over the Station, also consider taking the woman to Soreditch for some unique and hipster joints. 

    London School of Economics (Holborn Station) : 

    Another great spot to meet aspiring universities students Holborn Station can be easily walked to from Russel Square 

    Pros: 

    • Large amount of LSE students provide a solid opportunity  to game Freshers and Masters students. LSE has a massive influx of masters students each year so this serves as a good opportunity to game them. 
    • Good foot-flow of other people also walking down this road especially from 5-7 there is a decent volume 
    • Even during summer time there are still a large volume of students studying for PHDs and Summer schools here. 
    • You can get into a lot of the student Cafe Areas without being from the uni itself. 

    Cons: 

    • Footflow can die out drastically after a certain time. 
    • “Nerdy” Orientated women might not be for everyone 

    Oxford Street /Piccadilly/ Leicester Square 

    • Pros : full of women all the time 

    • Variety of nationalities from around the world

    • Whole Foods and Selfridges have a good quantity of high quality women . 
    • There’s volume here all times of day probably one of the few game spots in London where this can be considered the case. 

    Cons

    • full of other Puas all the fucking time 

    • Annoying to compete with other puas , can make you look like a spammer. 

    • Women may not see your approach as alpha If they’ve been approached before hand this damages the alphaness of the approach but is retrievable every situation is retrievable . 

    • Full of tourists which means getting a LTR (long term relationships)  will be difficult tourists can be time Intensive for someone working a long hectic job with limited time to game I would actually spend the least amount of time. Remember approaching is capital intensive students and people living in London give you more long term fucking for your limited time.

    • People can think you’re selling them something when approaching them 

    • Streets are narrow and packed especially on weekends although since Covid 19 this has not been as much of an issue. 

    Best times: all the time it’s packed Monday to Friday 

    Worst times : Friday and Saturday 5-10pm here is absolutely packed and difficult to approach

    During a holiday season. 

    Best date spots: Joe and the Juice Soho, China town is packed full of Ice cream places to eat. Whole foods in Piccadilly is good to grab a health conscious drink like green tea and has actively available out door seating (as of writing October 2020) 

    Earls court: 

    Pros: 

    • Station connects a lot of people many people working in London use this station to at least transfer from the district to the Piccadilly line. 

    • No one approaches there my reactions personally have been great. 

    • Good variety of girls from 5-7pm

    • Connects to other great pua places nearby 

    • University halls are here great amount of students 

    • Constant stream of new people can be good incase you’re worried about the person you’ve just closed “seeing you approach others” 

    Cons 

    • Limited places to go 

    • After an hour or so it’s best to go elsewhere as the area is quite small .

    Best times 

    Monday to Friday 5-7pm 

    Worst times 

    Monday to Friday before 5pm 

    Instant date spots 

    There’s a Starbucks and Costa coffee nearby the station 

    Russell square (three universities SOAS/Birbeck/UCL)

    Pros

    • Lots of students good for long term “friends with benefits” and long term relationships 

    • Three different universities , SOAS, Birkbeck and UCL all within a few feet of each other 

    • Bookshops packed full of students 

    • Lots of introverted girls looking for more intimate connections, SOAS is quite arty. 

    • Due to Covid people seem quite upbeat and even more willing to meet people here. 
    • Planet Organic nearby where students often go to drink coffee is a great place to meet health conscious students. 

    Cons

    • Absolutely dead on the weekend

    • During reading weeks and when terms end it can be absolutely dead. This place ride and dies on students. 

    Best time 

    Monday to Friday 9am-9pm

    High street Kensington 

    Pros : 

    • Whole foods full of beautiful women is always packed . 
    • High quality women everywhere 
    • Good long street to approach and move around .
    • Three story whole foods plenty of places to go to if you get rejected. 
    • Equinox Gym near the station for many fitness minded students.

    Since Covid 19 the whole foods has gotten emptier however emptiness does not necessarily mean that there wont be opportunities , theres also less security walking around since Covid so its still an ideal game for interactions also footfall is great here on Sundays as it’s the day many people leave their foodshopping on until. 

    Cons

    Security in whole foods can be intimating 

    Not many students 

    High quality women might be intimidating for beginners 

    Instant date spots 

    Joe and the juice High Street Kensington is the ideal spot although Whole Foods High Street Kensington is my personal favourite spot to buy food with girls before I  cook for them at my place. The heavily stimulated food has a great variety of foods for all nationalities of girl and can be a great place to trigger excitement before the date. 

    Putney bridge

    Pros 

    • High quality middle upper class women 
    • No one approaches there , competition is low 
    • High return rate per approach

    Best times to go 

    The weekend 

    Monday to Friday 5-7pm 

    Best Date Spots 

    Numerous coffee shops all over putney high street 

    Richmond 

    Pros: 

    • During the summer time this place can be amazing to walk round with women everywhere. 
    • Whole foods which is packed full of high quality women and is very large giving ideal space to move around and do multiple sets in one session. 
    • Many bars and restaurants with romantic views a good date spot for those living far from central. 

    Cons:

     Waterloo

    Pros:

    • Great place to game even during the weekday late at night its still full of people 

    • Great variety of women all the time

    • Next to a Kings college uni campus so ideal for gaming students as well 

    • Many different people pass waterloo each day

    • Shielded from the shitty weather and cold 

    • light during night, less creepy approaching girls during the night 

    • Great at all times of day 
    • Easy to close girls and not have to worry about them “seeing you again” as with stations its easy to close a girl and having them catch a train thereafter making it hard for them to see you picking up girls . A problem with shopping malls and areas alike to them is that you can run into the problem of re seeing the people you’ve approached and closed which may cause them to loose attraction to you once they notice you approaching other girls. 

    Cons:

    • Some Individuals maybe hard to stop as they’re catching a train 
    • Approaching in masks maybe seen as tricky for some people but I think you should just bite the bullet and do it regardless. 

    Best time: 

    Monday to Friday 9-4pm

    Other Gaming Opportunities Festivals : 

    Whilst festivals have been all but cancelled during the year of Covid 2020 there will be opportunities in terms of festivals to maximise your daygaming potential. Festivals like Yoga/ Fitness festivals are a great opportunity to meet high value women who look after their health.  Find a festival or event that matches what you’re looking for in a woman. 

     Shit Weather: 

    As weather can get worse in London it shouldn’t be seen as an excuse not to day-game. Women are still women and they will still be attracted to you regardless of weather. If anything approaching in bad weather can be seen as a more courageous and romantic act if done right of  course.  I’d recommend sticking to shops on certain days and have found the following to be good: 

    • Whole Foods on a Sunday Is prime time in fact any supermarket is usually more packed on a Sunday than any day of the week. I find especially when it rains any of the whole foods in these locations can be packed with women : Piccadilly, Clapham Junction , Richmond , Fulham, High Street Ken can provide great opportunities. 
    • Organic Food Shops like Daylesford Organic in Sloane square and Notting Hill are also good spots to game .
    • Fortnum and Mason- Another chain of shops extremely popular during the poor weather absolutely rammed with students from LSE and people new to London as everyone seems to desire to shop like the queen. The Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly is three floors giving you plenty of places to open sets and to move if you’ve been blown out.  Quality tends to be high as the products in this shop are quiet expensive. 
    • Canarf Wharf Shopping Mall- Yes you have to approach in masks but still the foot flow is excellent here leading to many opportunities  , the mall has plenty of room to manoeuvre 
    • Westfield’s shopping centre either in Salford or Shepherd’s bush these areas can have great foot flow. With the only downside being that they can be very packed with other people doing daygame. 
    • Harrods or Harvey Nichols – Knightsbridge. Always great foot-flow in these two shops all the time , fantastic places fro meeting high quality women. 
    • Stations: Train stations offer a large amount of light all the time which can stop girls getting creeped out also makes it easier to see people in the dark (sounds obvious but still a big plus side) I’d recommend a station with a good foot flow like Kings Cross, Victoria, Canary Wharf,  Liverpool Street , Earl’s Court and Waterloo all 5 have constant footfall all the time.
