Captain Jack's Grande Adventures: Opening and Social Proof versus “Player in the Game”

  • Bob · 4 months ago
    Hi CJ,


    I haven't noticed this phenomenon of AI's increasing after girls seeing me open.



    Is there a minimum number of sets for this I need to open in order for this to happen?



    Or is it already happening and I'm just not noticing (girls can be pretty subtle when it comes to showing interest)



    Interesting post, and practical too, in that I know that if I get AI's I can imagine feeling more confident and likely to open.

    You are most likely missing a lot of AIs. Assume any eye contact is an AI for the time being and you'll get a lot of real world experience around the subject. Also, many afc/PUAs have trouble with making or keeping eye contact.


    You can make the assumption that if you see one AI you've probably missed 2 or 3.



    Now, this snowballs. You open a set, girls notice, they start changing their body language and giving you AIs. They look in your direction more. Other girls pick up on this... you open more, new girls pick up on it plus the old girls. Snowball.



    If you've ever been in a club with a celebrity or sports star you'll notice this on steroids magnified by one hundred. You can hardly keep a woman's attention when there's a big celeb in proximity.

    This is actually a good sign. A 'more true' theory is more likely to make you more confident to act. It's your unconscious mind's way of confirming that it more closely matches the billions of computations it's made in the past.

    What a good post!
    This weekend was amazing and rare :/ because it happens to me all the things you wrote. I fuckup a SNL the same as you, I did the same mistake which I asked in the previous thread of waiting or not her. She invited me to go outside but because I prefered to get her looking for me I lost the chance.

    That night I did what you said, and I was shocked by female response, the practically closed me.

    This topic gets me thinking, it will be interesting to know how to be "player in the game" guy in all terms...

    Beautiful. F-ing beautiful.
    This just goes to show that the innovators of pick-up aren't just sitting in their caves and typing theory in between porn-watching sessions.

    Keep the knowledge coming man. It's applicable and $MONEY$.

    Hmm I think this is boiling down to a bit of semantics and how you exactly define it. If I go to a bar with my hot female friends I get tons more AIs that if I go with my male buddies. Sure, if I don't do anything about it then the AIs will die down over time (except for new girls entering the venue). But either way simply having hot girls with you gets you more interest than not, therefore scientifically proving that social proof is a contributory factor!


    It won't get you laid (you'll still have to open... duh!) but is sure as dandy helps!

    It would be semantics if it didn't explain more and/or explain more precisely what actually occurs in the field.

    Charliereay, we all know that "social proof is a contributory factor"...DUH!
    This post is about the next level of Aha. Read it carefully.

    Yeah I did read it ... it seemed to presume that people didn't know that social proof was only a contributory factor. I'm only a beginner and it seemed obvious to me - maybe I should be grateful.
