Alright, one question I notice university girls ask a lot is "what is your major" followed by "so what are you going to do once you grad?".

I usually reply to the first question with "how about you guess" and tease them if they are wrong. If they say I'm a business major I'll tease them for having used a 'major' stereotype. If they say I'm a major which I dislike I'll feign anger that she would even begin to think I was one of 'those' people. Or I'll say something cocky/funny highlighting a positive trait stereotypical to a certain major that she must think I show.

The second question I can't really think of how to answer it.

I've tried "importer/exporter", "making tons of money" "having yacht parties in the Mediterranean" something ridiculous like that. Most of the time the girls either say "no really what do you want to do" or are a bitch about it saying I should have more of a direction in life.

I think the trouble lies in the fact that many girls in university have drive or passion for a certain subject, they have planned their life since their parents told them they could be anything. When I tell them something absurd but cant follow up with something real and admirable or interesting they see that as a weakness. I don't have the same drive as they do I am wasting my life. If they are a normal girl I still get a feeling of dropped interest if I can't come up with an answer like "im going to be an ER doctor for a while and then spend the rest of my time performing free surgeries for underprivileged kids"

I have also tried replying with something along the lines of the "ER doctor" line, but if it is too absurd it shows no direction again when she asks "no really". If it is believable They'll usually ask more questions pertaining to the made up career and I wont have answers.

Any suggestions. Am I overthinking this? Was this beta?

Hey man, I think you're overcomplicating this. This usually happens in the beginning of the discussion as well so its no biggie its just conversation fodder.
In my first year I'd play the guessing game because it was funny but its played out; every guy who thinks they're a smart ass will throw in a smart ass reply. I'm not here to be a smart ass, I'm here to be a winner.

I'll usually give them a straight up answer and throw it back to them (to screen them). What I study is of interest as well so almost always I will get questions about what I do and of course what I plan on doing (2nd question)

On the second question, I'll tell them whatever comes up in my mind. Could be teaching English abroad, could be building schools or housing in Nepal. It depends but as long as it really fits into what you want to eventually do but heres the kicker, I'll include them in it. The whole "you & I" versus the world and instantly create inside jokes. This is just to set you apart from the rest of the guys in your local setting (university). It doesn't matter if I tell her I'm gonna go to NASA or whatever, as long as she can picture both of you doing it together. It's about the frame, not the content.. Just direct it in your favour.

Stop trying to qualify yourself, if you're not happy with what you're studying then don't bring it up. Don't try and live up to some imaginary standards as to what to tell her, you're rejecting yourself before even giving her a chance. Be real man.. if you're cool it doesn't matter what the fuck you do as long as you include her and let her be cool with you.. Of course, be witty and humourous about it and lead the interaction where you want to. This question isn't a test, its an opportunity for you do take the driving seat in the interaction. She's interested in what you do, what else do you need.

the trouble lies in the fact that you go over the top with your cute little lines while the girl is intereted in you and stands there waiting to tell her. she just wants to get to know you. there's nothing wrong in teasing a bit at first but there is also a good time and place for this and you can't recognize.

remember that you don't need to answer with something very specific. let's say you're a doctor or work to be a doctor. you can always say stuff like "i want to save people's lives, i feel it's the best thing i can do, its my passion to be able to heal a human being, blablabla..'

same with anything. a customer service at bank. you can say "yeah i believe that customer service is the key to the game right now, a relationship with customers have never been this important ever, i want to do the best job i can to use that experience later in my career, i feel like people don't really get it that business is all about connection and care etc.."

basically just have you story down. come up with some shit at home, make it interesting, learn how to talk about something boring in cool way you and you don't need cute silly gay lines. damn i remember mystery had awesome gambit named "you are the song". it's soooooooooo $$$$. check it out:

so next time you talk to girls you got it. it doesn't matter what you currently do, girls don't care. but they want to see your potential. get it handled and you will be eager when this topic pops up cause having your story ready it will be the matter of selling it.

[-g-]

When I'm asked I always tell them what I'm actually doing ... finance. What a great major: smart + hard working + knowledgeable about money. Afterwards, just say you are going to work for a friends firm or some BS like that. Graduation is so far away that this is what you lie about.

I don't think it really matters what you are studying in college.. some of my friends are poly sci, philosophy, and health science majors. Meaning none of them have plans after college but they still do well in the game.

Wait, why are those ridiculous?

They sound pretty standard.

[HiFlo]

if its day game u want to do the boring ramble about your major, why you chose it, your hopes and goals with it, etc.

if its night game, u can try C&F like "I just switched to sex ed. Well worth the switch. Learned a lot of new tricks with the curriculum...come here let me show u one..." I remember during one finals week I was opening girls with, "hey i got an exam i could use a study partner for...its for my sex ed class and it takes 2 to tango."

[Samseau]

Just tell them you're going to business, law, or med school



Girl's are absolutely retarded... they don't want to hear about your big dreams at the bar, they want to see if you're following the socially approved agenda.

Thats what I was thinking too. I guess they've just never encountered an international playboy so they don't believe anyone could actually do that.

Thanks for the replies guys, I think the best option is to come up with something standard, but shows wealth/status etc. Then quickly after get them talking instead of me.

I agree Samseau I'm realizing more and more that you just need to outwardly project conformity while inwardly staying true to what you believe in.

I disagree with Samseau here.

No disrespect, but we have different styles on some issues.

F*ck conforming.

“The more you conform, the less likely you are to be truly interesting.” – MPM

Dare to be yourself.

Dare to be different.

Dare to be Bold.

The rewards will come.

Here is a good Guest Manifesto on the subject:

Guest Manifesto: Never Regular

A preoccupation with fitting in is the main obstacle to a noble, elegant, and heroic life.

[WestCoast]

This entirely depends on your line of work. In the office i've blended both the outward conformity and the inward "difference". Here's an example of what you can do if you're a successful young professional.

1. Express like and need to hook up with women, this is fine in your 20's they will see you as slightly immature but you can get away with it so the guy just above you doesn't think you're a "threat"
2. Now you see the guy above you "fuck up", now you talk to the guy who would promote you about "wanting to get settled down one day but YOU CANT SUPPORT A FAMILY ON YOUR SALARY" you imply conformity and that your beta boss is actually "smart"
3. Get promoted.
4. Tone down some inner game stuff and pretend again to be slightly more "conformed" and repeat this process over and over again.
5. As soon as you walk out that door you try to lock in. Study languages, learn to dance, hit the weights, talk talk talk to everyone in sight.

I am going to guess Samseau has a white collar job, G manifesto sounds like some crazy life of crime that gets him paid. Fair enough.

Your skillset is defined by your life experiences.

I respond to all "direct interview questions" with straight witty banter. Damn Indo girls made me a pro @ this.

Of course you shouldn't conform. Conformity is for lemmings.


But I'm not talking about conforming... I'm talking about lying to get laid.


When you tell a girl about your dreams in college, she just rolls her eyes.

Every guy has big dreams in college.

They all think they're in the land of success where they'll be top dogs.

By their senior year, girls are used to hearing bullshit from everyone. They won't budge if you tell them you have dreams to travel around the world.


But I'll tell you one thing. When I was going to law school, and girls asked me what I was doing, I would tell them.

Their eyes would light up.


American college girls aren't interested in a pleasurable or happy life. They aren't interested living a trailblazing life.

They aren't even that interested in money.

But status? That's the one thing they want more than anything, and telling them you're going to med school or law school is big status in their eyes.

[WestCoast]

Ha but tell them you work on wall street and they will run away because they've been taught by feminist liberal bitches that the Street is full of a bunch of robbers!

Positive $ status = Doctor/lawyer/professor
Positive Social Status = bartender/dj/bouncer....

Haha! Yes, we are talking about getting laid!

In terms of getting laid, I would tell a girl what she wants to hear.

So, if she is an educated, high class girl who will be impressed my medical school, bar exam, mba, good schools, etc., then by all means , talk about that. Discuss topics that will get her interested in you and make her feel like you are a good catch.

But, if she is just your average bar slut who dropped out of community college and is only educated in make-up and birth control, then you might want to talk about something else. She probably doesn't even know what the fuck you are talking about. And, she might just label you a nerd who is no fun. Better to discuss the things she is impressed with like your fancy car, where are some good party spots, and how to get designer shoes at deep discount.

Adjust your message to fit your audience.

In the course of one afternoon on a college campus, I might talk to a science major about human biology, a philosophy major about the meaning of life, and a undeclared freshman about how to get marijuana from the cannabis clubs.

[WestCoast]

"undeclared freshman about how to get marijuana from the cannabis clubs.

Literally laughed at my desk. Anyone with "undeclared majors" just talk to them about being anything free spirited and "gone with the wind" I go where "life takes me" if it was "meant to be it was meant to be".

Problem is then they see my place and realize I am not like that at all, ha!

[JohnKreese]

I would often reply with something like "I'd like to become a tax shelter for my friends in <insert country> but if that doesn't work out, I guess I'll just be a kicker in the NFL."

This is good because most girls generally find it funny and the topic will usually veer away from "realistic" post-grad goals and shift towards one of the joke professions that I threw out. If you had actually traveled to the country that you intend to be a tax shelter in, or if you actually had a bit of prowess in the sport that you threw out, this is kinda a "big bait" drop and you can talk about it for a bit.

At the end of the day, using a line like this is gonna differentiate you from the typical guys who reply in a very rehearsed, eager, and smug tone, "oh, I'll be going to West Haven to study medicine" or "I'm going to inherit one of my dad's car dealerships" and give you some more time to accentuate the conversation/attraction.

[raliv]

Cocky funny answer:

"It's a super secret major I'm not really supposed to talk about"
"tell me!!!"
"Okay. promise you wont tell?"
"I poooormise."
"Pornographic film studies. I'm going to be an porn actor. It''s a really hard major."

It's pretty funny.

Eventually they will insist so tell them whatever it really is or make something up.

[UgSlayer]

Most girls dont give a flying fuck what you do or what your major is. They're just following a social script because they're not comfortable doing anything else. They want to be lead into a fun conversation that is different. You can actually say whatever you want. Tell them your real major and move on to another subject. Give them witty banter. Whatever. The main thing is you lead the interaction and guide the conversation into a direction that interests and amuses you. Think of your will/frame as a locomotive and her little questions and shit tests and whatever as flies on the wind shield.

Edit: Girls care about your major/job/etc if they're looking for a steady boyfriend or potential husband/provider.
