Unfortunately, game isn’t a miracle drug. It doesn’t create value where there is none—it merely brings out the value that you already have. You’ll still need to offer something in exchange for vaginal entry. While you don’t need to be well-traveled or have several cool hobbies, the more interesting you are, the easier it will be for you to get numbers and dates. Becoming more interesting is a process. It starts with reading books or exposing yourself to interesting people in order to gather knowledge and ideas for activities to try. You then act on what you’ve learned by exploring something new, pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Those new actions can then provide excellent fodder for good conversation. Hobbies involving art, travel, cooking, sailing, hiking, surfing, snowboarding, and outdoor recreation have unique features that impress a layman. Some people seem awed when I say I’ve written a couple of books, but to me sitting in front of laptop for hours a day isn’t particularly exciting. I may get into a chat with a snowboarder, asking him all sorts of questions about how he got into the hobby, while he sees the sport as a vanilla activity like jogging. Don’t underestimate yourself and think that because a hobby is no longer novel to you it won’t be fascinating to others. You must understand there’s no way a girl will find out about your cool features unless you drop them on her. She’s not going to ask you to drop bait—you have to do it on your own. When it comes to interestingness, a good rule of thumb is this: are you more interesting than the girl? Most girls spend the bulk of their free time on their cell phones sending text messages, watching reality television, or reading Cosmo. If you can’t beat that, you’re in trouble. On the other hand, if you meet a stylish girl in a clothing store who’s actually a party promoter while also performing in an electro-rock band, you better bring the value. The cooler (and hotter) the girl, the more value you need to bring. Reading a couple cool books may be enough to get the number of the Cosmo girl, but it won’t be enough for the stylish girl, because when you run out of all your bait only five minutes in, she’s not going to feel crazy about getting to know you. RAMBLING 61 Being interesting is part of your path to self-discovery. There’s no clear recipe to follow, but it does involve going above and beyond your daily routine. It involves taking risks, breaking out of your comfort zone, and being creative. If you’re just doing the bare minimum in life, wasting several hours a day on the Internet, you’re going to have problems connecting with high-quality women. Game is a great way to help show your value to women, but no game in the world will hide a boring life or help a “loser” land a girl who already has a dozen guys in hot pursuit. Waiting For The Bite The overall point in our approach is to get her intrigued enough to ask just one personal question about you. That’s our green light for proceeding to the next step. She can ask one of the big personal questions such as… “How old are you?” “Where are you from?” “What’s your name?” “What do you do?” Or she can ask a question related to one of your big bait drops. While having a girl ask, “Do you like your coffee?” or “What is your favorite breed of cat?” is a good indicator of interest, we need to keep going until she can’t help but ask a big personal question about who we are or what we’ve done. Only then can we go for the digits. You may be thinking, “But Roosh, in the past I’ve gotten numbers without a girl asking personal questions.” Yes, but what percentage of those led to dates? I’ll be surprised if it was more than 15%. We need a girl to make at least the minimum investment of wanting to get to know us before we can even think about arranging a future meeting. The personal question requirement is a non-negotiable part of my system. If you run night game, you probably have girls ask, “What do you do?” all the time. It definitely isn’t any sign that she really likes you or DAY BANG 62 wants to talk to you again in the future, but during the day it’s huge. If a girl asks that question, you’re definitely getting her number. You’ll have to wait patiently like a fisherman for a bite before you can start reeling in the line (by running Galnuc, which will be described in the next chapter). It may take quite a few nibbles until you finally get a fish’s jaw to clamp down on the hook, but when it happens you’ll be ready to haul in your catch before it wiggles free. At night you respond to “What do you do?” by being humorous, inventing something like “organic farmer” or “seal hunter,” but during the day I recommend you respond with a serious answer. After she acknowledges your job title, offer a brief description that highlights something interesting about your duties or why you chose the career in the first place. Let’s pretend you’re a middle manager at a boring accounting firm and a girl asks what you do. “I’m an accountant,” you say. “That’s nice,” she replies. “Yeah, I deal with numbers and Excel spreadsheets all day. It’s not too exciting to a normal person such as yourself, but when you’ve been obsessed with numbers since childhood, it becomes a logical career move. I enjoy the work.” If she doesn’t respond with anything, simply ask what she does. The main idea isn’t just to offer your job title and then go silent, but to respond with a humorous or interesting explanation that makes it easier for her to respond back. Even if you hate your job, talk about the positives. When a girl asks about your job or any other personal information, you’ll get her number. There is one exception: when you’re traveling. If you’re abroad and played up your out-of-town status with the “Where I’m from…” bait, you’ll need a girl to ask two personal questions before running Galnuc. Being a foreigner is such gigantic bait that even girls who don’t like you won’t be able to resist asking where you’re from. Think of that as a gimme. Don’t skip the rambling process if a foreign chick asks your background a minute or two into a conversation. For them you need to get asked that second personal question. RAMBLING 63 In many cases you’ll be dropping big bait all day and she just won’t bite. You think you’re wasting your time, but then out of the blue she’ll say, “I’m sorry, but I never got your name.” When that happens, reel it in. Until that glorious moment when a girl asks a personal question, I imagine that my feet are encased in cement and I can’t move until she leaves first. I’ve had quite a few students misread an interested girl as being disinterested. From my experience, I could easily tell that the girls were into them, but my students expected something in line with what they’re used to getting at night. They ended up walking away even though a number was on the horizon. To prevent you from making the same mistake, I want you to commit to every approach. You’re in it until you get a clear rejection that she no longer wants to talk to you. Even with the amount of experience I have, I’m still surprised when an approach turns in (or away from) my favor after reading some initial signs I thought were clear. An approach isn’t over until you get a number, she turns away, or she completely stops talking. That’s when the cement loosens and you can move. I want you to feel the rejection, because only by getting that will you learn the persistence it takes to get numbers during the day. The Art Of Rambling Before we get into Galnuc, there’s still a few more things you need to know about rambling. But first, I want to test you based on what you’ve already learned. Pretend we’re in a coffee shop drinking cappuccinos. We’re sitting across the table, having a random chat about girls, when out of the blue, I ask, “What are you drinking?” How would you answer? If you’re like most men, you’d say, “A cappuccino.” I asked you for a piece of information and you gave it without wasting words. This is how men communicate. Unfortunately, this type of strategy will hurt you during the day. You need to give extra information that makes it
