After reading Monkey Busters report log I'm going to do the same with my progress. Partly to keep a log for myself but also really welcome any comments and ideas!
Since reading The Game and then Mystery Method I’ve been out 8 nights over the past 4 weeks chasing the girls. Added to that I’ve tried a good number of day approaches around town and at the coast last weekend. No major results from the day approaches but I’ve had a few kiss closes in the clubs.
But I’ve always felt that its hard work and I’m struggling to “play the game”. Last night was the first where I felt I could make approaches and chase without properly thinking things through. Which is a big plus.
FIELD REPORT
Met my brother to watch the Man Utd game; he lives down South but is stopping with my parents this week. In my mind this was a “lads watching footie” night and I didn’t expect much action in the way of girlies. I was wrong on that front. Arrives at the bar and it was packed – typical big screen sports bar with loads of guys stood watching the screens with a beer in their hands. Looked like a bunch of boring fuckers.
Neither me or bro are big footie fans (rugby for him and American Football for me) but he wanted to get out of my parents house. So we got a beer and checked out the room. He’s married but still has an eye for the ladies – looking but no touching, which makes him a great wing. The bar was mostly men but there were a few real babes thrown in the mix. The sort of tanned, slender, long blonde hair type that I love. Problem was they were all with guys – honestly I don’t think there was a single set of just girls. To be expected at a footie match.
In the past that would have been that. I’d have drank beer and chatted with my bro. But I decided to try something new – sarge the blokes first. Totally new to me but in I went. Found a group with a few hottie’s in the mix and went to the guys. Honestly can’t remember how I opened (some crappy comment about the footie) but it was easy. Every guy wanted to talk and there was absolutely no defence at all. I focused on what I figured was the group leader and ignored the girls. Like two guys into sports talking shit.
About 5/ 10 mins in I remembered I question I’d picked up from the MM:
“So how do you guys know each other?”
This gave the girls a chance to jump in. They told me they were work colleagues. Perfect! I also took that as an IOI as they made a point of saying “we’re not related and their not our BF’s”. Bit of small talk followed then I turned back to the blokes. Brain kicking into gear I figured I needed to get myself the alpha male position and then go for the girls. All the time little bro is keeping the three quietest guys busy. So I loudly declare that:
“I think footie’s a bit of a puff’s game”
Not the smartest line ever but I figured it made some sense. I was bigger than these guys and could lead it onto Football. They gave some token resistance and I countered with my American Football stories – the time I played a US army base, training with the Redskins, watching the Superbowl etc. All delivered very loudly and with some physical contact – had a hand on the prettiest boys shoulder and a playful demonstration of a tackle. After a while HB Blondie jumps in:
“I went to a Superbowl party…”
I figured it was my “in”. So I stepped back to talk to her. Two amazing things happened. The blokes stepped into the gap I’d held and focused back on the screens; cutting off me and also the girls. And blondie smiled. Now my default position would be to start asking her about the Superbowl party she went to. It was a safe topic; she’d already offered it up and would keep the conversation going for some time. But I guess every bloke does that. So I went to positive, value demonstrating statements:
“Yeah I went to one with my team, amazing party and…”
In my head it made me sound like an arrogant prick but she smiled and nodded in all the right places as I told her about the amazing party I went to. Then I remembered kino. Not like grabbing her arse (much as I wanted to

) but I stood a lot closer and placed an arm on her shoulders. She didn’t pull back. Kept the conversation going but now I was struggling. My problem is my mind goes blank after a while and I just struggle with what to say. I know this is practice but in this case I know Blondie was into me but couldn’t keep it going. With the footie on I knew I was going to struggle to move her as well. So I told her we were moving on but asked if she was going anywhere after the game. She said yes and told me where.
Me and little bro moved on and tried a few more openers in another bar. Nothing interesting to report there – the game was in full swing so nobody wanted (including us) a long conversation.
Onto the bar afterwards. We arrived late after a few games of pool and it was pretty quiet. Checked out the room and Blondie was on the dancefloor with two other girls. Now I’m a crappy dancer and at 6ft1 on a quiet dancefloor that stands out. Instinct was to grab a drink and wait. Game kicked in and I started talking to some other girls – not HB’s because I didn’t want to throw my state with a fucked up opener. Opened with:
“It’s quiet in here…” and just kept the fluff talk going. Really just waiting without blowing the social proof.
Eventually Blondie left the dance floor and headed over to the bar. Debated what to do – its crap if I cut out the group I’m talking to and walk across a half empty club. She was looking at me a little so I figured some IOI’s there. What the fuck to do? Should I hit the dancefloor? Fuck it why not!
Me and little bro hit the dancefloor. Now my dancing really sucks so I played it up. Went for the most exaggerated crappy dancemoves I could think of. Little bro follows suit. I mean everyone in the club could see it and they were laughing. The more they laughed the more we played it up. Eventually Blondie and her friends hit the dancefloor. Wasted no time grabbing her hips and dancing with her.
Eventually we’re heading out of the club and I’m thinking “I want to fuck this girl”. Clearly she was working out the same plan. She told me she was 19 and still lived with her parents and had work the next day etc. There is also the problem that we were out in Sheffield and I live about 40 miles away.
Now this is the further along I’ve got in the game (previous kiss closes have been random club stuff) so I was struggling with a clever way of getting her into my car and back to my place. If she was older I would have been pretty blunt with my intentions (once told a 40 year old MILF I wanted to “fuck her brains out” and she let me!) but I figured that would freak Blondie out. So I walked her to her car, took her number, kiss close and off she went.
Not a full close but it’s the first time I’ve understood what I was doing and moved a game forward. Before getting into this stuff I would have just watched the game on TV, had a few beers, checked out Blondie and gone home. This was way more fun!
I’m out again playing the club game Friday and will keep the progress going.
