Hey guys, this may be a retarded question, but does everyone here go direct at clubs? My observations is that going direct during the day is great because she's usually by herself, but at the club girls are almost always with friends. Do you just walk up to a girl in a group with three of her girlfriends and blurt out "hey, I thought you were cute, I had to come meet you etc." Never quite got that subtlety. For the record, I really enjoy going to clubs, so i'm not just going because I think they're "the only place to meet hot girls". Jut somewhere I like going.

Yes.

Ok, well that clears it up then. I'll give it a go.

Sure you can and for some guys it works really good, but imo going indirect is better.

The direct approach during daygame works that good, because a girl usually don´t get approached direct during the day. Some of the women I dated told me that they never were approached during the day like that (although they are hot). Therefore you stand out from the majority of guys by far, you surprise her and you show you have some balls by walking to her and making a honest compliment.

In the club though girls get approached direct all the time. So you just being another guy telling them how beautiful they are (plus you don´t show balls since most guys can tell a girl a compliment after getting "a few" drinks in the club), and because they are used to it, their bitchshield will often automatically pop up.

Disagree with this. Most guys in clubs come up with lame lines they think are clever and try really hard to be funny/interesting. The guys who go direct are usually drunk out of their minds and disrespectful. If you can compliment them in a decent and respectful way, you're going to be ahead of 90% of the competition right out of the gate.

Either way, blow outs in night game pretty much never happen because of what was said/not said anyway. I could go around a night club opening girls with "fuzzy purple dinosaurs" and probably do 90% as well as I would with anything else.

Are you saying this from experience with both direct and indirect game at a nightclub?

I have, in fact, never in my entire 10 years of going out to bars, ever seen a guy walk up to a girl at a bar, soberly, and go direct in a non sleazy way, unless it was me or somebody I was with.

I find that going direct is not given enough credit. Everybody talks about it like it happens all the time, but that's just not the case. Most guys who do that are drunk, boring, wimpy.

just remember this direct does not equal neediness.

This is my experience too. You see it in other cultures, but the US and Europe, almost never.

Going direct has another major advantage if you ask me. You are not opening really, you are screening the girls. If she reciprocates after you went direct she is at least interested in you. If she blows you out after going direct, you don´t waste time with her. She knows right away why you approached her.

Ok, I see, the whole world is against the German... again ; )

What I said based on what alot of women told me. And you are right, most of them were drunk or sleezy.

So you think going direct is therefore the bast way in a club? interesting, since at least in Germany I got worse reaction in a club when I make a (individual) compliment then going indirect.
