[Royale]

Just to give you guys a little background about myself:

I’m a 6’0” lanky, halfrican (dad is from the Motherland) that’s not bad looking. I’m 24, but can pass for a high school senior (Think Pharrell, minus the self-esteem). I discovered this site a few months ago, but never really pursued game, thinking that it’d be hopeless since I live in the suburbs. Forget the excuses. I want to actively work on my game, not wait around passively. So I hit PM’ed a guy on the forum and met up to get the ball rolling (more on that later).

Now before we get to the meetup, here’s some more info about me.

Tale of the tape: Ages 0-24

4 dates
5 makeouts
1/2 notch? (was a virgin at this point (19). Stuck it in, but had no clue what to do next. Also hadn’t watched porn until this age).

All of this was in 4 years of college. Had a few other opportunities to +1 but my inner game was a dumpster fire.

Anyways, fast forward to last weekend: 5/10/14

Met simonafc and immediately saw his demeanor. The dude is no bullshit. Direct as all fuck. Knew instantly I’d learn something from him. Well, we walked around the mall and since there wasn’t much of his demographic there, I ended up getting tips from him. So, here we go.

Approach 1:

I playfully snuck up behind and chick and tapped her on her shoulder. Blown out immediately. Simon shook his head and told me to always advance from the front or side. Never try to approach back door like Zedd in Pulp Fiction. Internalized that and pressed on.

Approach 2:

Rolled up to this tall chick and opened. Went through with the approach but wasn’t too interested. Kept going.

Approach 3:

Approached this black chick in line for Starbucks. Typical black girl shape (nice ass, small tits) but my African DNA approved. Rolled up to her and had pretty good convo. She ordered a bagel and I swooped in like a UNICEF child and ripped off a piece (I’m really playful, so I get away with a lot of shit, LOL). Simon rolled through and told me to set an instadate, which is what I did. Overall, I think it was going well, but my body language was off.


(Leanin’ like a black Tower of Pisa. Plus, a blazer in the mall? C’mon son…)

Feeling like it was flat, I went for the number close, but she just gave me her Facebook info (i.e. dead set).

Approach 4:

Rolled up to this black chick in a red dress. Cute face. Thin waist. Monster ass. Opened with a wise crack about how her dress is so bright you could see it from space, and she started cracking up. Hell yeah. So we were walking and talking until she brought up the whole BF thing. I tried to play her bluff and asked who is he. She turned around and pointed to this police officer walking behind us packing major heat (.357 mag or something ridiculous). I said my pleasantries and sauntered off.

Approach 5:

Went to a mall but a different venue. Talked to this model chick trying to sign people up for her agency. Rolled in like an interested party, and hit it off. Things were going all right, until I went in for the kill. She looked at me like I had a dick growing on my forehead. Simon was doing the wingman thing well, talking to the other model chicks (and even got his picture taken for their records – this could be your big break, buddy). Overall, dead in the water.

Fast forward to night game…

Rolled out with Simon again to this rave in the city. It was a great venue, where the music was loud, but not enough to where you want to punch a baby in the face. Simon brings his social circle with him (mixed set) and I tag along. I buy a drink and get rolling.

Approach 6:

Rolled up to two chicks and tried to start talking. Couldn’t hear me. Bailed. Simon and some of his crew gave me some advice. Took it and ran.

Approach: 7

Rolled up to two other chicks, and was met with a good disposition. How, BF rolls through, and says that these chicks are his and his boy. I ask the girls. They confirm. I peace.

Approach 8:

Rolled up to these promo looking chicks, and was met with a blank stare. I made a funny face and she laughed, but when I went in for the kino, she drifted away.

At that point, I was really starting to settle in. The fact that I was out actively doing this was invigorating. So I decided to have fun the rest of the night. New approach candidate came into view, so I quickly turned around and asked Simon to slap me. Not a little tap, but a “five fingers to the face” type ordeal. And he delivered.

Approach 9:

Sauntered over to this flower power looking chick, and went in like a hawk. Looking at her with solid eye contact, I smiled and grabbed her hand. She went with the flow and we started dancing. She had some orbiter dude just standing next to her the entire time, yet never made any kind of move in the slightest. C’mon brother, do something. Anyways, we danced for quite awhile, while Simon was taking paparazzi shots of my progress.

After all was said and done, Simon and his crew bounced, while I stayed in the venue. I number closed the chick and went on.

Approach 10:

Meandered over to these two black chicks. They were receptive to me, and I pulled one close to dance with. She grinded all over my shit like she was auditioning for the Twerk Team. Normally, I can handle this kind of thing, but this night it was insane.

(Live video of me grinding with this lizard.)


Rendered useless, she and her friend laughed as they walked off. I wanted to end my night on a high note, but the venue was starting to close.

So that was my Saturday…

Stats:

10 approaches
5/100 day game
5/100 night game
1 number close


What did I learn:

-A lot of game is about not saying a single word. Let your body do your talking.

-I really don’t have approach anxiety. Working as a host and doing work in the entertainment industry really made me lose the fear of “getting rejected”. I almost don’t feel it at all.

-I like direct game; cut out all the middlemen and get straight to the point. I’ll experiment with both, but I’m leaning more towards the “take it or leave it” approach.

-Approaching is FUN, and I’m starting to really love this game.

-Simon is the real deal. If you guys ever want to hang with him, you won’t be disappointed in the slightest. Really upstanding guy.

-There are a lot of intricacies that go into getting a +1. In my eyes, the guys who have 20+ are incredible. I can’t even fathom the dudes batting 100 or more.

-How thankful I am to this community. Taking the red pill truly changed my life for the better.

Overall, I believe I’ll up my count if I keep on this path. The support on here is something. I laugh at those who criticize RVF, RoK, etc. If it’s wrong to exist in a world where people are shunned for improving themselves, then frankly that’s not a world I want to be in.

Great thread. Beginning is always great, you already have more balls than 99% of men out there.
What do you think are your biggest stregths?
Weak points?

Game must be part of your routine. The more you approach, the more you notice patterns about yourself.
Do one approach everyday without fail, and you'll notice a lot.
Write up your approaches better so we can evaluate better.

Nice thread ! Keep going bro !

A word on Royale for Everyone guys.

I love the energy he gives out, and his Vibe, great guy, honest intentions and fun to be around.

I never had to slap a guy just to get him in set before haha! i have to admit it is refreshing to be with fun people.

Sticking Points:
Daygame- need to be more aggressive and assertive, Need more Kino ,
You basically need to show these woman that you are a man and you want them.
none of that behind the curtains bullshit.

Nightgame- Again, KINO KINO KINO is key, you need to be more aggressive and move forward
fuck what they think about you and fuck what they want, its about what you want.


Overall: more game and experiance will polish your rock, Guarenteed.

PS: it was funny snapping those pictures haha! Just enjoy yourself and have fun, thats what matters.

Your awareness between knowledge possessed and in-field action is incredible.

Having that objective perspective can help you greatly. Glad your starting to get what you want in life!

Okay guys, I didn't disappear. Now that exams are out of the way, I have a little break between classes. Here's a quick update of what's been going on:

I was focused on exams, so I remained hidden in my hovel like Frankenstein. After emerging, I headed to Austin to do a job. Since I had to be back the same day, I only managed to get one approach in. It went as follows:

Approach 11:

Waltzed around the Whole Foods to get some snacks before the road trip, and spotted an Asian 6. Didn't have much in the curvature department, but wasn't 2x4 flat either. Serviceable. I sauntered over and opened:

Moi: What are you looking for?
A6: Just looking for some face moisturizer. I want one that's oil free.

Proceeded to recommend something, saying that some lotions look like jizz sheen if you don't rub it all the way into the skin, which received a laugh. Bingo.

I introduced myself and the convo started. Next, I asked her where she was from, and if she lived in Austin long. She replied affirmatively and said she was from the area and decided to stay close to home to go to school.
She asked me if I was from there and if I just came from work (I had a suit on since I came back from a training position). I proceeded to say that I was from a city three hours away, but sometimes come up to Austin for work. Next, I basically talked a little about my work and whatnot, saying that I had to be back home by morning. She gave me a concerned look and said something along the lines of "I better not keep you waiting", which I then responded with a "I thought you were cute, so I had to come say hi."

After that, it fell flat. I couldn't get my synapses firing for some reason, resulting in me starting to conversationally grip at straws. She noticed it, and the convo went south. In a hail Mary move, I went for the number close, saying that we should hang out next time I'm in town. She politely refused, saying she had a boyfriend.

Moi: Really? What's his name?
A6: Huh?
Moi: What's his name?
A6: ....ummmm...James?
Moi: James what?

(This point, she was getting mildly irritated)

Moi: James what?
A6: (giving an "are you serious?" look) uhhh...James?
Moi: You didn't answer my question. James what?

(At this point, she was really getting pissed. I could sense her getting a little confused/angry at my persistence. Just when she was getting ready to curse me out, I start cracking up)

Moi: LOL. I'm kidding. Wow, you got mad.
A6: Haha, yeah (she laughed, but it was more of a "who is this asshole?" kind of chuckle)
Moi: Okay, have a nice one.

I walked over to the checkout counter, bought my items, and headed out.

I also had a date today with a chick I've been talking to for quite some time. I wasn't going to go, but I was in the area and wanted some coffee, so why not? That went well, but its a logistical nightmare since she lives on one end of suburbia, and I on the other. I have plans to get a place closer in the city, so that way I could probably +1 before she goes back to school. I didn't really post how the date went, since I'm just doing approaches. But if you guys want me to describe that in more detail, I'd be more than happy to do so.

As of today, here are the stats:

Tale of the tape: Ages 0-24

5 dates
5 makeouts
1/2 notch

As for some of the earlier posts here, allow me to answer them:

Quote:

simondice:What do you think are your biggest strengths?

-For starters, I'm really social. I really don't experience approach anxiety whenever I talk to someone (Hell, I could walk around with my underwear on my head, and still open with no problem.) I find people fascinating, so I can chat with people until the cows come home. Although, I DO need to work out my social synapses before the wittiness emerges, so I'm going to start having small convos with people throughout the day, so when I approach people, I'm firing on all cylinders.

-I have a positive disposition. If I get "blown out" or "rejected", it really doesn't faze me. Working in my industry, you're constantly exposed to rejection, so I guess I'm a little desensitized from it. Babe Ruth has more strikeouts than home runs, but who cares about the former? Most guys who are good at this game have had more rejections, than I have TOTAL APPROACHES. Who am I to bitch?

Quote:

Weak points?

-Body Language, Body Language, Body Language!

-I stand upright and walk with my head high, but I walk too fast like I'm constantly having to shit (observation by simonafc)

-I lean in sometimes, which sub-communicates neediness/betaness

-I don't get sexual fast. I tend to intellectualize everything, and don't go on impulse (hence, a lack of kino)

Overall, I didn't do much this week, but that shouldn't be an excuse. I just wanted to get an update in, so you guys could track my progress. I'm back on the horse, so let's get this moving. Thanks for the feedback.

One thing that people really seem to forget about is facial body language. HOW you smile and how you laugh and how you transition and what you do when you tell jokes and when to hold intense eye contact, and how to have your eyes for most effective eye contact are probably more important than shoulders back chin up type things.

[simonafc]

Body language can be accomplished by how comfortable you are with the situation,

it all comes with approach and experience and the amount of girls you are with.
you're going to realize that you're not going to need to do much to get everything.

Sexual-ness comes with being comfortable with yourself and the opposite sex.
Just like above, body language comes with Sexual ness, just gotta understand that
everything is not as serious and uptight as people make it out to be.

Cheers!

All excellent points.

I've tested my eye contact and it seems as though I sometimes drop my eyes after I make a point. Every guy I know that's pulled has that laser focus when talking to a chick he wants. Make a few adjustments, and I'll be doing the same thing.

Didn't know game could be this detailed. At first, I used to think it was something that you turn on or off, but in my case, it seems as though I'm running it 24/7 now. Granted, I'm not into all the lingo and canned material, but now every interaction is seen through the "okay, let me feel this person out" type of framework. I read a RoK article awhile back that stated that once your in the game, it continues until the day you keel over. I wasn't sure how that concept applied until I stepped out of my hovel of voluntary solitude. Its as if a new world opened up for me. This shit is truly invaluable.
