DAY 43 - 03/10/2014
No daygame today - slept in and dealt with cleaning up around the room and other things. Went down to the Kiez at 11:00pm or so - since it's German Unity Day and a public holiday, I figure the bars will be packed, and they were.
Tried to get into Club Hamburg ... and got blocked. Went to Frieda B instead - it seems like the only place I can get into solo that still has a good amount of quality to approach. Notable approaches:
- The first approach let to me getting opened by her four friends, one after the other, in succession, in the span of about a minute. To be honest I felt like I was getting mobbed. My target suggests we get Mexicaner shots together - its kind of the locally-famous drink, something like 1/2 tequila and 1/2 tomato juice - and I pay for the two shots at €1,50 each. Not too expensive, at least. I ended up talking to one of her friends (more attractive) and we got shots as well. I suggest we go dancing, and me and all of her friends hit the floor. The second we start dancing, they go cold. I just got played. Fuck. Eject and cut my losses ... move on.
- Managed to get a number out of my next approach - tallish brunette, but with really nice skin ... call her a 7.5/8. At this point my go-to for approaching in foreign country is by stacking two of Roosh's favorite openers back-to-back - I like saying that she looks like she speaks really good English because she doesn't look like she's a local. Segue that into a discussion about how non-local people probably have traveled a lot and how that could correlate with higher English proficiency, and you've opened into a conversation about mutual travel experiences. Anyways .... we're at the bar, and she's buying drinks for her friend. I suggest going somewhere quieter to chat (isolating) and she accepts. We chatted for a while more ... I was planning on moving to the dance floor once we finished our drinks, but one of her friends rolls up and is pretty persistent in demanding she stay with her group and not me. Figuring I'm not gonna dodge the cockblock, I go for the number and get it.
- This one kinda stung ... she was an Austrian girl, blonde, with glasses, kinda shorter than me. Opened, and she had hooked asking me where I was from, and we're bantering - and then these four guys, speaking English and suited-up, move in and execute one of the more elegant cockblocks I've seen. One physically blocks me out, and two others pull her over to introduce her to the fourth. I'm basically left wondering what happened and watching in mute rage, but I figure there's not much I can do about it. Besides, getting confrontational would likely get me thrown out, and that's the last thing I need right now - this bar is the last venue left for me here on the Reeperbahn that I can really game at.
Afterwards I kept approaching, but everything was getting shot down. Figure that the girls could intuit that I was pissed from how the above went down, and they didn't like it.
UPDATE: Something I can add anecdotally - it seems like the response rate to an intial message is higher if you use Whatsapp rather than text/SMS. Only a few datapoints in for daygame approaches, but it seems to be working better. We'll see if that plays out to something consistent or not.
