I just participated in my first Top Lair event, known as an Approach-A-Thon. It’s where they take a small number of new guys into the field and teach the basics of approaching. The two main purposes of this event are:
1. To give newbies a kick start and teach them that they don’t need a ton of material to start approaching.
2. To meet other guys for future winging.
This is my first attempt to learning this Pick-Up thing and I had a blast. The night before the event I was notified of the time and location. I was also told to memorize one opener and one funny story.
I spent that night and the whole next day, right up to the event memorizing and rehearsing my opener. I had know problem memorizing the opener but I thought it would be a bit tricky to deliver it because of it’s length.
We started off the night with a quick meeting and went over some of the basics of approaching. Then after a quick practice session, we split into pairs, an experience member with a less experience member.
By this time I couldn’t remember my opener. Cryo, my teacher for the night, taught me the WLM opener and a ESP routine. I don’t remember the details of each set. But the overall night went well.
I approached about 5 or 6 sets. The majority of the women were responsive, I had a couple girls interested and I got a phone #. Over all I felt the night was a success and I was inspired by the other PUA’s.
