One day while studying in the library, I saw a beautiful girl sitting by herself. Things between me and another girl had just fizzled out and I was looking to get back into the game. I decided to approach the beautiful girl. I walked up to her, talked to her for a bit, got her number, and a few days later I pulled.

Soon I realized that the library was the easiest place to pull in college. It provided me with a variety of women, which was something my social circle couldn’t provide. At the same time, it didn’t have the same social friction that my class pulls would encounter. Lastly, I didn’t have to compete with the environment. No friends pulling her away. There was no loud and obnoxious music playing the background. Just me and her connecting and talking.
This method has outlasted my college career. It is something I still do whether or not I’m attending school.

A forester
Alright
I've been reading this site for a while now and find it helpful. However I have a problem trying to find places to meet girls. I'm a 23 old forester in the UK, and I specialise in chainsaw felling; which means I often work in areas where I don't see very much human contact. Actually I've just finished a 6 month job living in a caravan in a wood. The problem is I'm not a very social person by nature so clubs etc aren't any good; however I don't mind doing day game which seems to work for me when I have tried it (although I tend to come across as too aggressive!).
Although I'm trying to stand out as a 'forester' with a beard and wearing chequered shirts, I just can't seem to get the point across with most people confusing with me a 'hipster' which is really irritating.
So any advise on how to stand as a 'forester' and best places to approach without being too out of place!
Cheers
Hey Bro!
Thanks for reading. I understand the not wanting to get confused as a hipster. The easiest way to go about doing that is to address it in conversation.
You: "Hey!"
Girl "Hey?"
You: "Don't worry I'm a forester not a hipster"
Smile
As for day game and coming across aggressive, ask a friend to record you when you are doing an approach. Or ask him what whether your posture is aggressive. Remember, game is about partially about adapting who you are without losing yourself.
Hope this helped!
Actually I was struggling a
Actually I was struggling a bit in get the conversation going; the example you provided would to suit me very well and I think it would work well with my personality. As for asking someone to give feedback on my general performance is something I wished I thought of earlier as I wasn't too sure on the responses I getting.
Cheers
Chase's article on the
Chase's article on the different archetypes of men might be a good place to look.
You may be leaning more towards "artist, than a "tough." I personally dress similar to hipsters but somehow manage to have my own style. Hipster rarely are edgy in a REAL way. They may at times wear edgy things but even then they are usually in the "whats cool to be edgy right now" kind of wat. But do they have the balls to do their own thing? A tough definitely does.
Might want to take a look at why you are trying to portray yourself as a forester. Do women you are interested in like foresters?
What do the women you are interested in like? Ask yourself that and then explore how you can accentuate what features you have that align with their desires.
Hope that helps.

Cheers mate; I see what you
Cheers mate; I see what you are driving at. I think my problem is that I haven't sorted out the associated tracts that would help me fit into the tough archetype; more work there would really make a difference. The first time I read the article on men's archetypes I don't know what category I fitted into. If I can't label myself then I'm guessing anybody else would have a problem to.
I also see your point on trying to push the forester point too hard without looking at the overall scheme of things. I guessing although I've only been doing forestry for only 4 years (college and full time) and very much still learning, I haven't done any other job so I tend to completely associate myself with forestry. With the girls I have talked to they either a) are not very sure what forestry is or don't care b) are not very keen on lifestyle I have like living a in a wood months on end with a complete lack of anything social related! or c) actually find it very interesting. But I'm actually working on b) as I think living in the wood while on the job is a bit too extreme; I am looking for more local jobs where I go home every night and meet more people generally. The biggest thing I found is that some girls just don't like and are completely horrified with rough outdoor work I do: but if I don't do forestry I have no idea what else I would do.
Cheers for pointing me in right direction.
Headphones!?!
Great article William!
I have never thought about gaming in the library. However, today i decided to give it a go and came across a problem. I thought your experience would be of great use... Anyhow this was the situation I discovered the problem:
Well... I was in the library earlier today and noticed this cute girl studying in the corner. I could see she was wearing headphones but i didn't think of this as a problem. I decided after a while to go up to her and strike a conversation, I approached her from behind (Obviously as she was in the corner facing the walls). I decided to speak a little louder than normal to make sure she heard me over her music playing. I got NO REPLY. I repeated myself again. She swiveled around and removed her headphones and said "hi. can i help you?! I just asked for an eraser to borrow as i felt out of place with a bad start.
I think I bottled it due to feeling weird that i was standing over her from behind and she had not heard me. I felt like I was intimidating her as i was also standing tall above her and speaking down to her. (Hence why you recommended pulling up a seat!!)
Should I politely have tapped her on her shoulder or just shouldn't have gamed her in the first place???
I'm hoping you could shed some light on overcoming the general problem of girls wearing headphones and whether you believe i did something incorrect in my awkward situation.
Much Love,
JH
Girls With Headphones
Hey Thanks for Reading!
Generally you want to be approaching the girls from the front, so they see you. Girls generally don't like being approached from behind, it gives the creeper vibe, so find a way to get infront of her. Also I don't like making contact with her in day game before she has seen me, especially if she is wearing headphones cause it could scare her and makes her defensive.
So approach her in the front, have a commanding presence. Assume she wants to talk to you, like how you react if a hot girl interupted you while you were listening to music? Not bad right. Keep that in mind when you are doing the same.
With headphones it forces you to go more direct but don't go more direct than what is necessary.
You: Hey, I saw you were listening to music and I thought to myself a girl like you must listen to Jazz.
Her: What would make you think that
See how you are direct about you interrupting her but you also put a question her head about what you think about her. Now jazz is just an example, really try and guess what kind of music she is listening to, that way you have some statements to go with your evidence.
Now this line won't make up for a meek a presence if she is listening to music. So it is very important that you just assume that she will want to talk to you. Hope this helps bro. Girls with headphones are difficult for me to sometimes, but you have to always keep in mind, I am giving this girl then opportunity to talk to me and I'm fucking awesome.
Best

Another solid post. Looking
Another solid post. Looking forward to trying this out myself.
Thanks Man!
Let us know how that turns out!
Number flake from Library
About a week ago I got out my room and went to the library to chill for a minute or two (before this article came out) and was walking through checking out anything that interests me, then saw a fine Asian from across the room and walked over.
We made eye contact and I gave her a smile which she reciprocated. I then walked right over to her and told her to take out her ear buds and went direct whispering into her ears
Made small talk for like 3 minutes with a bit of personal talk about her and biology then proposed we grab ice cream together later in the week, she smiled and said yes and gave me her number and we parted ways and she never answered any of my texts. I proceeded to go to another college and grab numbers there to forget her.
How do you prevent flakes like this?
Preventing Flakes
Here are things that have helped me get fewer flakes.
1. Longer Interactions - If you can take your time, take your time.
2. First Text, Funny, Quick, and Pertinent - I text her something funny related to the conversation, within a couple hours of meeting her. Also not trying to set up a date with the first text.
3. I establish the time and date when I get the number.
4. Tell her I am not good at texting and set up a good time to call her.
Flakes are part of the game though bro, wish they weren't. I have a friend who sends them a funny picture of himself a day later and it says "So you remember what I look like ;)"

chickens dont seem to be cluckin
Hello, i read your article here, and its funny, because my older brother for years adviced me to go to libraries instead of clubs/bars to hit on girls. Problem is, i went to two different libraries and there were hardly any girls there. So i figure, maube im just going at the wrong time of day, so what times during the day do you think the most amount of women would be likely to show up at libraries, studying and what not?
University Libraries
I should have made this more clear in the article but I am talking about university libraries. The bigger the university the better. But generally if there is a university in your area there will be beautiful young women in there. Hope this helps

Good to know, thanks bro. :)

Watch My Stuff
Hi William, great article! You're spot on about graduate students.
One of the libraries at my uni had little 2-4 person booths in it. If I ever saw a pretty girl alone in one of them (or a group of girls), I would breeze in, put down my bag and coat and ask her if she would watch my stuff for ten minutes. When I came back I could sit down and say "thanks, nobody tried to steal it then...chat chat chat".
I found it worked really well. It's a super easy way to get into a conversation, so it's great if you're not in the zone for cold approaches yet. And she's already doing something for you, and keeping you in the back of her mind while she waits for you to come back.
This is Great!
Getting her to invest from the start and leading into a natural conversation. I will definitely try this next time I'm out. That technique probably works great at coffee shops to. Thanks George! I'm forever a student of the game.

Sitting down
Not there anymore obviously but advice on how to approach a sitting girl where you can't also sit down would be great.
I found this article because
I found this article because I just spotted a cutie in the library and wanted advice... But she's sitting in a computer booth thing. It is only two sided so she isn't fully enclosed, and the nearest chair is around a wall on the opposite terminal...Oh yeah and she's chinese (I'm in china) so I can't tell what she is studying Suggestions?
It worked!
She said YES TO A DATE. HOO RAAAAA!
