It is understandable that guys like to make distinctions between game and categorizations.
I did the same, in the beginning to distinguish styles.
This might be me in the minority but I believe, you cannot turn it on or off. Game is what it is. You're charming, magnetic, mysterious, assertive and commanding where-ever you go, day or night. The key difference is your calibration (adaptability to your surroundings and company).
I skimmed through your post however these are my two cents on daygame.
Speak to every single person. Be curious and genuinely interested. Every single girl you see. On the way to the gym. In the grocery store. In the elevator.
Smile at people. That is half the battle. Be approachable and approach. Be open and cool. Be outcome independent, you're just having fun and chatting with people with no hidden agenda. It just happens, it is your life. You speak to people, you discover cool stuff and are constantly entangling hotties into your web of charm. No charade, no silly 'can I please have your number you are so hot', no 'excuse me but..' or anything like that.
Internalize this mentality and everything will follow. Be confident in your ability to attract women and befriend men at all times and any scenarios.
If you're having trouble, act stupid. Ask silly questions and segue from there. Then you can joke afterwards how you just wanted to talk to them and you're glad they're not a strange girl etc.
After a while, you will master your own 'look' of conveying 'I am the best thing to happen to you, ever and I will fuck your brains out, 6 - love'.
Example from the past 10 minutes:
At work, went outside to have a smoke. See this hottie who I had a suspicion, worked at a hair salon due to her style and hair.
I have a girlfriend but that doesn't stop me. I cannot help myself. You got to want to speak to them. If it is your ego, then fine. If you are genuinely interested, even better. The former is when you start out and the latter is when your intentions are real.
I just smile at her and hold eye contact until she passes by me, real close.
Experience tells me:
a) she will smile back and look down or hold eye contact (either submissive or up for the challenge, either way she is keen)
b) she will open me out of 'obligation' as guys don't just check out/smile/give the look without meaning to (open means she finds me or my presence attractive)
c) she will ignore me and it is her loss. (she could be having a shit day, I don't take this personally)
She smiles and says hi, takes her spot and whips her phone out. I walk over. Note: I held eye contact for 5 seconds before she walked over and made it obvious, I was checking out her legs and then fixated on her eyes as she approached. I like to make it obvious with my look, what I am communicating and that I find them hot. I don't like to waste time.
me: do you work at xy salon?
her: ah yes but I am a receptionist
me: that's cute. will they cut my hair for free or what. I heard they are trainees
her: haha yes if you are willing to be a guinea pig
me: who cuts your hair?
her: *plays with hair* the supervisor. my hair is damaged, I dyed it blonde blabla
me: hmmm I can't picture you blonde. That's kinda hot.
her: *blushes, looks down* thanks but I prefer this. (fishing for compliments)
me: ya cool. I will visit you for a discount. I work opposite.
I finished my smoke and two of my female colleagues came up, hugged me -> social proof!
The reasons I gave this example:
- just happened, I had zero intention. Just went for a smoke and she caught my eye
- I broke it down to show the whole dynamic, you can see whats going on
- this happens all the time, it is normal. This is game, not counting and running stats through an excel sheet
- I didn't motivate myself or anything, I saw a girl I wanted to speak to and that is all. Don't care if she rejects or not. Didn't even get the number, I want to know why a girl is dressed so hot at 10AM in the morning.
- I am at work, getting paid by my company and I found 10 mins to entertain myself. Entertain yourself. Push boundaries.
- Forget about the social proof, that is the icing on the cake. Once I signaled my intentions when she entered my perimeter, I was on her mind as she was on her phone. Social proof is more of a nightgame thing than daygame (adapting)
- I ended it, because I know I will see her again. I would rather play it slowly and let the seeds be planted than rush it and get her number. This is calibration and experience. Calibration as she works near me and don't want to mess with logistics just yet. Experience because I know that I will have to 'sell myself' more to get the number and her not to flake.
Girls just want to be taken, you just gotta step up.
They want you to be awesome and will throw hurdles, you just gotta follow through.
Distinctions with daygame/nightgame/p4p help and are useful but superfluous if you can just calibrate.
You seem daunted because you are basing your sexual needs, emotional expectations and everything else you value from a woman into X amount of approaches. It is like you're playing a game and you have X amount of tries.
What I am saying is create unlimited tries. I flirt with any and every woman. All kinds, races, ages, heights, weights whatever. Fuck. I will have banter with gay guys. It is entertaining and you learn about women. Rejection is silly and worrying about it even worse. Expose yourself.
You're already rejecting yourself with your outcome dependent mentality. Let the women reject you instead of yourself before you even begin.
edit:
Just saw you're in Greece. I get your issue with colour, as a Greek, you are completely in the right. Just accept it and adapt.
I believe my advice is still valid however, pick out hip hop clubs and other cliche things. That is the culture. Otherwise, learn how to dance bouzouki and tolerate 45 year old Greek singers crying about their ex-wives and clean up in those clubs.
Daygame should be fine if you pick your venues correctly.
Nonetheless, give what I said a go and be cool with everything. Just stay away from Golden Dawn areas. Just kidding.

Noir this is an excellent post there is so much I would like to say but you said most of it here. Bpryce i feel your pain. But reading your analysis of your situation a couple of things come to mind. You are way too analytical about it. And this will bring on an over-thinking attitude that wears yourself down before you even get out there. Noir's approach is much easier and more fun in the process. It is what I am trying to execute. There is just too much of this "if I do this many approaches I will get this many dates because I am looking for a LTR or GF and she needs to be white, and I am black and live in a society where I am discriminated against on and on. It is so over-analyzed it is painful to even think about.
How about making it simpler. Break it down. Dont worry about your color. I have some black friends and they absolutely kill it with white women because they don't even think about it, the white black brown Asian thing does not even enter their reality. Hell I am white and a lot of black women don't like me because I am white, some Latina don't like me because I am white, I am not that tall medium height and many women don't like me because I am not tall enough. I am older many women don't like me because I am older. See how I could really get myself down by these facts.
You dismissed something really important that Kinjitsu said about deluding yourself into thinking you are attractive to all of these women. Think about what he said. Now think about what you are doing. You are doing just the opposite.
You are fooling yourself into thinking that you are not attractive to all of these women. You have a choice which way do you want to go with this? At the end of the day the man that acts decisively and with purpose will get the woman. Even sometimes a white woman that would not consider dating a black man. Your masculine will, can overcome her female indecision some of the time.
Yeah dating white women is hard in your location. So what lots of things are hard. Try being 52 and getting a 22YO. lol Its fucking hard. But it can be done. And when I get into that young pussy it is heaven. You seem like a classic introvert. That means socializing and interacting with a lot of people is tiring for you. And to recover from that you need alone time. Understand this understand yourself. And then proceed with this knowledge. Get your rest. Spend your time alone, recharge your batteries. Then go out into the world and have some fun. When you get tired, chill get a cocktail, play video games or whatever and be alone recharge and then do it again. Dont obsess over the numbers so much. There was a great post on ROK that made it simple. The three I's intoxicate,isolate,initiate. Its just that simple. Dont make it complicated. Loved Noir's story so here is one from this Tuesday night.
I was out with some clients at a busy but small fancy Italian restaurant at a large loud table of about 12 of us. I immediately noticed there was a cute waitress taking care of the whole table and she of course was very busy. I had the time and she had an ass to die for she was about 23 or 24. First thing I did was catch her eye and get the eye contact. She looked I held it then she looked down and smiled. Now next time she goes around the table I give her a little flirt nothing fancy, I am not a smooth wordsmith like some, just said "you look like you are really having fun tonight". She immediately lit up and responded back to me.
Now she starts doing most of her serving from my spot next to me on my side of the table. And then I tease her again sexualize just a little. Joking I say "girl do that again and I am going to have to punch you out" and I touched her on the arm, she giggled and immediately said "oh I would like that" then said "just kidding." She was a yes girl.
At this point it was on. She kept coming back to my side of the table. And every time i touched her again. You could feel the vibe escalating. She would even start to lean into my small touches. No one at the table noticed anything. Which made it that more sexy. It was fun and sexy. There was never a thought of how many approaches or if she was the right color, or if I am getting her approval. That would have fucked up the vibe.
At the end of the night I was going to try to number close her but my workmates were stuck to me. But it does not matter I will see her again and I will close it then if not it was fun. I tried to think back to the approaches I did this week and I could not even remember all of them, I had to think about it and back track but eventually I came up with 6 very solid strong approaches this week when traveling for work. I enjoyed the process. I am making this part of my reality part of my routine. By the way I am an introvert also. And need my rest after visiting customers all day long. But it sure can be done.
Dont burden yourself with all of these numbers and analysis. It will just slow you down. If you are not having fun what good is it?
