Ball-jointed dolls/dollfies loving terrify me, every time I go to a con there are those weird girls walking around with them and it's something I can't mentally comprehend. Most anime figures it's easy to collect without going financially overboard, in the right places they're no more expensive than a videogame or a couple of blu-rays every payday. It's when you start spending $200-300 on anime girls in swimsuits that things really start going downhill.

Fun/creepy fact I learned as a teen when I thought ball jointed dolls were cool (I mean, that craftsmanship!): most have anatomically correct genitals. They're also painted to match the dolls' specific skintones.

Assuming you have weak game and average conversational skills, you'll get a number from 5% of your day approaches. The average I see from men who come to me for training is 7.5%. My best students get almost a 30% close rate percentage [ed: 'close' is either getting a kiss or getting a girl's number] and I personally don't achieve any higher than occasional streaks of 50%. These estimations include low-probability approaches on the street, so they can be doubled if you develop a niche day venue (if I only approach in coffee shops or bookstores, for example, consistent 50% rates aren't uncommon). With months of practice on your part, you should be able to achieve 20%. Unfortunately, some men hit a ceiling before others due to limitations outside of their control, and can't seem to go higher no matter how hard they work, but that ceiling will take years to hit and will always be higher than if you didn't practice game at all.

No matter how amazing your day game gets, you won't be able to get more than an overall 40% close rate. Therefore, 60% of your approaches will be dead in the water before the first word even comes out of your mouth. This is because most women are in a serious relationship, have gently caress buddies, are in a bad mood from PMS, are homosexual or are experiencing a herpes flare-up that makes then suicidal. Only 40% of girls at any point are even open to talking to a guy, and a percentage of those would rather eat molten hot lead than go out with you on a date. If you were the last man on earth, they still wouldn't gently caress you, and there's no game in the world that could change such a firm decision.

Differences Between Day and Night Game

I'm going to make the assumption that you have some night game experience. In that case, you need to be mindful about the differences between day and night game because you may bring over some habits that, while work well at night, will cost you a lot of numbers during the day.

At night, you can run complex openers with success. You can do something like a female opinion opener [ed: this is something like (verbatim) "can I get a female opinion on something?"] and give a mini-speech before the girl is expected to make a response. During the day, complex openers come across as weird. She'll wonder why you're talking to her and how much longer he has to endure your routine until she can go on about her day. Day openers should be absurdly simple.

At night, girls show more interest sooner. During the day they're much less likely to show interest, even if they're actually into you. For example, at night a girl may ask, "What do you do?" even though she isn't really interested. It's just a default question she asks to size you up and to pass the time until she gets rid of you for the next guy. But during the day, that same question is a huge indicator of interest [ed: 'IOI' is a stock term] and almost guarantees you'll get her phone number. Questions that mean nothing at night actually become the only way she can show solid interest in you during the day.

At night, it's more natural for the girl to flirt, tease, and use double entendres. During the day it will be rare to get to "sexy talk", and a rush on your part to force it is the fastest way to push her away. Even if she's somehow capable of daytime flirting, it's likely that she isn't yet in a social mood at the moment you engage her. She could've just woken up or gotten into a texting battle with her mother. During the day a girl needs more time to get into a relaxed, fun state than if she was in a bar, and oftentimes that state never comes. With some girls you won't even know they're capable of flirting until you get them out on a date.

At night, girls expect you to talk to them, so they have up a titanium shield to defend against your advances, especially toward the end of the night when they've already been approached a hundred times. During the day, girls don't expect you to talk to them, so they're surprised.

If you've had to endure chick flicks in the past, you may have notices that most of them have the female heroine meeting her dream man in a daytime situation. At least two crappy movies I'e seen had a meeting result from a fender bender, where the man touches the girl's hand in a sensual way while exchanging insurance information. How many movies have you seen where the heroine meets a guy in a dive bar?

The Opener

The purpose of the opener is to break the ice and allow a conversation to happen. It is not to build attraction. You're not trying to score brownie points with it and if you're thinking of ways to come up with a good opener, chances are you're trying too hard and will end up scaring the cat. [ed: is this literally the 1920's] Those witty openers are best suited for a nighttime environment. During the day we're going for boring, and the more boring the better. All that matters is if the opener gives you a way to continue the conversation so you can then start to add dashes of seasoning.

The style of opener you're going to use is what I call the elderly opener. I learned it from frequenting a coffee shop that was located a block away from a senior citizen community. I went to this "old people's" coffee shop every day for a year, always picking a spot near the door where everyone had to walk by. Without fail, I was approached at least twice a day by men and women in their 70s, 80s, and a handful in their 90s.

The amazing thing wasn't that these old people approached me, but that they all used the exact same line. Were they getting their game from a book called Elderly Bang? Was their a bulletin board posted in their senior clubhouse on how to have conversations with young people? I don't know, but the opening line was so simple (yet deadly) that I laugh whenever I use it to get a girl's number.

Here's an example of an old man using it on me. See if you can point out what he did right.

"Excuse me, is that a good laptop?

"Yeah, it's pretty good," I said as I made eye contact. "It suits me fine."

"What brand is it?"

"Gateway." I stopped typing to look at him completely.

"I've never owned a Gateway laptop before. Right now I have a Dell desktop but I'm looking to get something that I can bring to the coffee shop to read the news. Your screen is a little small. Don't you find it hard to read?"

"It's not too bad, especially since I sit pretty close. You can also zoom in on web pages or documents if you want, but they make larger laptops, too."

"My eyes aren't what they used to be. What brand do you recommend for an old fogey like myself?"

"I'm pretty sure Gateway makes larger screens. You can go on their website and see pictures of all their models."

"Thank you. I'll check that out. You know, it's crazy how fast technology is evolving. When I fought in World War II, we couldn't even get the drat radios to work, but now everything is so advanced."

"You fought in World War II?" I asked.

Next thing I knew, he was telling me war stories. He later mentioned a recent trip to Florida and then told me about his kids, who were older than my parents. Our first conversation lasted ten minutes, and every day after that he approached me for a little chat. The days he didn't come in I got a little worried that he had died the night before.

Do you think he--or any of the other dozens of old peopole who approached me based on my laptop--was really shopping for one? I doubt it. They just wanted to have a chat with someone to pass the time.

Galnuc

Galnuc is the framework you'll use to get a girl's number during the day, and the meaning behind its name will become obvious in a few moments. It's a series of mini-routines that help with three things: establishing a more playful mood, helping you get to know the girl, and segueing naturally into getting the number. On average, it takes 2-5 minutes to execute, but sometimes it can take much longer.

After a girl asks a personal question, start Galnuc when you've passed the peak of the conversation and feel yourself running out of gas. It doesn't make sense to immediately go into Galnuc when you're having an incredible chat, so bottle it up until the energy of the conversation dies down, the reality of the melting ice cream in her cart sets in, or a pending appointment starts to hit her. If you're conversing like there's no tomorrow [ed: the smoothest phrase] by all means continue and hold off Galnuc a bit. Otherwise, you can start it as soon as a minute or two after she has asked the first personal question.

Avoid going into Galnuc before the total approach time hits five minutes, even if she asks you a personal question right off the bat. The main reason is that we're in the business of getting dates and lays--not numbers--and just because you can get a number in a short amount of time doesn't mean you should. The longer your conversations go, the more likely you'll see the girl again, so even if you can do Galnuc[...]

The masculine attitude and lack of care these women put into their style or hair irritated me, so I made it a point to gently caress them and never call again.”

They don't want relationships. They want sex. Women are just moist holes you have to buy dinner for, but a girlfriend is like having a fleshlight you don't have to warm up so you can get a quickie in between raids.

My best friend does 'face-ups' (painting the dolls' faces, skin etc) for BJDs for some freelance money. She has had several different people ask her not only to blush the private parts of their dolls, but to add a clear gel-like paint to the labia to make it seem like they are wet. One of these requests was for a doll that looked like a child She naturally said NO I HAVE STANDARDS SORRY. Apparently that's a thing people really do a lot in the BJD community. Shame, I really like the look of those dolls and they're made extremely intricately.
