Teevs is talking about Night Game here and that's possible. But is it possible for long stretches idk because you have to factor in luck and periods of high/low momentum?



I would take that information with a grain of salt

So you telling me he ONLY talked to 5 women the entire year?

We are missing tons of context here

Was it a warm approach? Did she give an AI? Did she approach him? How about the other women he had random conversations with, do they not count or is because he wasn't really trying?

Or out of those lays how many of them were a random conversation then randomly midway he thought oh I can close this girl

I understand why guys worry about ratios but the truth is there are a lot of factors that determine that

Think a better approach is track your own personal progress. Fuck what another guy is doing and what your ratio should be. If you are fucking girls you want and are able to make it more effortless and ingrained as you get more experience then you on the right track

Comparison is the thief of joy
yeah night game i'd say it's possible though not for me .

Daygame i just don't think that's possible for anyone regardless.

And yeah there are a tonne of variables that come into play for these things plus a whole load of men lie on the internet and exaggerate which makes it near impossible to tell who's telling the truth or not.

1 in 7 is plausible in certain kinds of night game that are bit closer to a house party. Like you're a regular, people know people who know you. So not complete randomness.

Pure stranger to everyone there and approaching completely randomly with no social proof, acquaintances and no preselection? That would mean that if you approach 20 randoms a night you could bang 3 chicks. Bang one, come back to club, bang another, come back to club. That's a 1000 a year if you wanted.

Obviously it's being selective and not completely random context.

Ok let me give you an example of how guys can fudge numbers and why I think guys need to think about bigger picture

Years ago one of my friends was a promoter

We would approach girls and invite them to our table. But the goal there was not to get laid it was to build social proof and money of course. And at the end of the night we will partner up with other promoters and throw an after party or go to one of theirs

So at this point in the interaction we not really approaching but rather just working and building connections

At the party it was so easy because there was a higher percentage of DTF girls. And it wasn't abnormal to only approach a max of 3 girls there and get laid

Now if I want to be disingenuous I can just say.. "Bro I bang 1 in 3 and have been doing that for months" but that is clearly a lie

Just saying worry more about getting laid than these arbitrary numbers. When you fucking a hot chick you won't care what your ratio was

IMO this ratio thing is a glorified dick measuring contest

I disagree completely. I doubt newbies are entering into a "dick measuring context". If in business I ask what's a normal conversion rate for this kind of product in this industry am I "entering into a dick measuring context" "out of ego" or am I being a rational business owner?

I agree that numbers mean nothing out of context. But that's not an excuse to say "metrics bad mmmkay". It just means they have to be qualified with the context. The person asking it did so within this discussion with a clear context: "for complete randoms in daygame". And no not because he's measuring his dick or due to ego, just so he can have SOME sense of what to expect, what's normal, etc.

I’m going to articulate this so it’s very clear…

there are many guys who comes to these forms and the blog because they have a very real problem. They can’t get women and they don’t understand why it makes them feel depressed. It makes them feel worthless. It puts them in a state of emotional turmoil and pain. Some of these men even begin to question her own value and worth.

back around 2005 in 2006 I was one of these guys and I remember it clearly.

then, by pure luck, I happened upon the PUA community. I thought I had finally found the answers, and I would figure out why I could not get the kinds of women I wanted. Then I tried some advice that I read on some forms. Looking back on it now I know the advice was horrible but I didn’t know that at the time I was knew I didn’t have enough experience a reference points to know good advice from bad advice. I just knew the advice I read, seems to come from a guy who had it all figured out, and seemed really confident in what he was teaching.

I went out, and I applied his advice, and I had even worse results that I had before discovering it. after that, I was convinced that the problem had to be me after all this was a good advice so I thought.

Thankfully, I met someone soon after that sent me on the correct path and showed me what some good advice in the community actually was.

so yes, I’m an asshole who likes to point out Bad advice when I see it. Because somewhere out there on the form right now is a dude who doesn’t know good advice from bad advice. He just knows that he’s hurting and he wants to solve this very real problem. And I don’t want him to start reading a bunch of crap that’s going to set him back and make his journey takes so much longer and make him experience so much more pain because some dude have him low quality advice.

this is the last good form on the Internet that actually gives real cutting edge advice that actually works for dude to go out and apply it. so yes, I’m critical of what people post on here because I believe it is my responsibility and others who have been through this journey. It is the responsibility to to safeguard this place, and ensure that the advice given here to those guys who are experiencing this pain is good advice.

imagine a new guy reading your stuff and thinking “fuck you mean to pull some cute girl from the coffee shop I have to be well traveled, know multiple lanaguges, read a bunch of books, all on top of getting ripped and overhauling my wardrobe? And even then I’m only going to fuck like 1 outta 50??? Fuck this shit”

Imagine telling a dude he’s gotta do all that to make some basic (but attractive) chick outside a starbucks attracted to him. A chick who likely does nothing but shop and scroll tiktok 90% of her time. Lol.
This is. When, I first started I went to Roosh V Forum and it was hardcore RedPill. My results got worse and I got depressed more.

Ok then. So tell me what all these guys that talk about ratios tell guys to practically do to improve these ratios?

I’ve been on these boards a little bit now and when these conversations come up I rarely see the people that talk about ratios give actionable advice at each step

So for example

1. How I do pre approach and screen so that the girl is more likely to be receptive?
2. How do I reach hook point more effectively?
3. How do I deal with objections like BF or Friends?
4. How do I get investment and get her to move?
5. How do I sexualize and get her to buy in?
6. How do I deal with objections to the pull?
7. How do I text if the pull is not on that night?
8. How do I sexually escalate to avoid LMR?
9. How do I recover girls that I may have had LMR with?

These are somethings that if you focus on will improve your ratio, but to say doing these things will give you an exact 1:3 or 1:20 consistently is a bit dishonest

You're changing the topic after insulting every newbie who's asked whats normal/high-end.

What if for example I ALREADY HAVE a 1 in 20 ratio in a given context (and we know you can't get much higher in that context). I would just be wasting my time trying to improve the ratio if that's already high-end. Why would I need to waste time on those 9 things if I've already achieved what can be achieved? People (just like in business) decide how much to invest for further benefits based on what's possible. But according to you we shouldn't be allowed to know what's normal or high, because it's "ego", and can't possibly be rational.

If I get 90% of the same results as a dude who has mastered 20 more skills, you know what? I'm fucking good. I don't need to "master these 20 other things" to get the additional 10%. I'm fine with 90%

Your whole angle is that we should just blindly learn everything that exists in game without even knowing what the benefit is or otherwise we're ego-driven dick-measurers. How about "I'm asking so I can know not to waste my time on pickup and move onto other areas of life".

I'm not insulting you so not sure how you came to that conclusion

What if I ALREADY HAVE a 1 in 20 ratio (and nobody has achieved higher). Why would I need to waste time on those 9 things if I've already achieved what can be achieved?

If you already have a 1 in 20 then that's great. Means you already have a good system then you can revise it and see what part of the funnel you lose the most girls

If other parts of that funnel are working and you improve your bottleneck where you lose girls then your ratio will naturally improve. Because maybe you don't need to overhaul everything but just have one thing that is holding you back

Knowing what that thing is will help you a lot in knowing who to take advice from

I meant hypothetically. If a guy is 1 in 20 (for example) in a context where that's upper-intermediate. According to you he's not even ALLOWED to know if it's good. How the fuck does he know that 1 in 20 is good? It might be horrible for all he knows.

How can I tell if I have a ton of work to do and lots of space to grow, or I would be wasting time for very tiny additional diminishing returns? Impossible to know if I don't have anything to compare with. Not all comparisons are an "ego driven dick measuring contest". Some are about pure rational decision-making.

Okay so you don't have 1 in 20. My apologies

According to you he's not even ALLOWED to know if it's good.

He's allowed to feel if its good or not

Because if the dude has 1:70 and everyone here is laughing at him saying that it sucks but he is happy with his process and the girls he is getting then why do their opinions matter?

I'm assuming his main goal is to be happy with his sex life and not what other men say should be ideal

How the fuck does he know that 1 in 20 is good?

When he is happy with his sex life. What ever number or ratio of girls that makes him reach this point. But maybe I view success with women differently

It might be horrible for all he knows.

If he feels his number is horrible then he can track somethings to help him improve it

- Track current number
- Track where girls are lost
- Go out and find tech and tactics specific to his unique problems
- Refine process and keep doing it and ratio will improve

Because that's what guys really want isn't it. I'm guessing guys come here because they want to get laid consistently with girls they actually like. And I'm just giving a framework to help them track their progress to make it a reality

A guy could have a legit 1:5 ratio but if you copy his exact model you may not get his exact results. But you could take some elements from his system to improve your own results too

You do realize that "improving game" is only one of 20 things you can do to improve your sex life right?

Did you also know that there are MULTIPLE ways to game/get-laid? Funny story

Did you also know that we have a finite amount of time, energy and resources? Funny story.

Did you also know that in order for me to DECIDE where to invest my time, energy and effort I need to know what my return is.

Funny concept I know. Ridicolous.

Did you also know that knowing what's achievable in a given method/context helps me determine if it's worth to continue "refining it" or move onto something with a better ROI.

I can tell you've never run a business, or you'd be bankrupt.

^I think this is in reference to me and this is true

I don't want a guy I respect like @TomInHo or any of the experienced guys to have negative opinion on me starting out or view me as combative/argumentative. I am here to be in a supportive community and hopefully give value where I can also.

But I don't think its an ego thing at all - just curious what normal metrics are. Back when I did door to door sales I was told
You knock 25 doors
10 people answer
2-3 let you set up an appointment
1 person you close with

We would take notes and see where we could improve just like how @TomInHo is describing in terms of knowing where to improve. All i'm looking for is the same sort of thing here. I appreciate a veteran like you engaging in this and 100% respect and agree with your point @TomInHo regarding how context is key especially when night game and social circle is involved - but I'm focused on daygame (particularly streetgame or grocery store/park/beach approaches) - which feels like a much easier thing to roughly quantify out an average.

I've started to take action and make approaches - not a ton yet to be fair - but I figured it was a fair question to ask what normal results are. I mean it'd be weird if I went to my door to door job and they said "just knock 200 doors - then let us know how it goes... and mayyybe then we'll let you know what the top salesman's statistics are. But as long as your happy thats all that matters."

Again no disrespect because I understand how annoying some guys who post and never take action can be. Always focusing on hypotheticals etc. So I understand where you're coming from - but I am a competent human being who is trying to learn daygame after a breakup. I'm a small business owner in my mid 20's with a ton of friends not some incel lurker guy... no offense to those who might be struggling socially/otherwise or still virgins ofc...

It just puts me off to the forum when beginner questions which seem reasonable are deemed mentally masturbating or dick measuring. Just feels bad faith to me.

Seriously, that's exactly what happened here. Perfect analogy.

But as long as your happy that's all that matters."

Okay that makes sense

Not saying you should knock on 200 doors and I understand the beginning has tons of uncertainty. As men, we want to make things a certain as possible to be comfortable

However, the reason why ratios are so difficult to pin down for approaching women in daytime settings (daygame) is because there are many variables. This is especially true at the beginning of the interaction funnel (top of funnel).

But since you asked, here are some metrics you can effectively track in daygame:

Hook Rate... how many women do you open actually hook in a conversation?

This number can be significantly improved by working on your fundamentals, target selection, and hook tactics.

Niching yourself down to a target demographic can also help a lot with this. By focusing on a specific group, you'll have a better understanding of their interests and can tailor your approach to be more appealing from the start. If you're achieving a hook rate over 50%, you're doing great


Hook to Isolation... how many of these women do you hook are able to isolate with you?

This could be an instant date or a regular date if logistics aren't ideal. The biggest factors influencing whether a woman will isolate with you are attraction, her availability, and her level of investment in the interaction.

Since you don't have full control over her availability, things can get tricky.

A woman could be hooked and interested in you, but never isolate with you simply because she's not available. You could get her contact information and develop a connection over time, but this approach usually won't be very efficient. So, if you're getting an isolation rate of over 50%, that's also a good sign.

Isolation To Sex Location... how many girls can you pull from a date to a place to fuck

This is where things can really be optimized, and where game comes into play heavily. If you know how to run dates very well and have screened out girls who were unavailable beforehand, you can close a lot of these girls – and I mean a lot.

I'm going to use "Day 2" or "Date" for the following context.

There are some seduction systems based on screening out "time wasters" at the top of the funnel. This way, only the girls who get to this point are completely receptive, and all you have to do is avoid fucking up

On the other hand, there are systems that take a more maximizing approach. These involve getting more girls who are on the fence, and then polarizing them later.

Based on the system you choose and your overall skills, you can expect to close 50-90% of these girls.

Sex Location To Sex... how many girls can you close to full sex at the sex location

Just like before, this ratio can be extremely high or horrendous depending on your overall strategy beforehand.

If you were very sexual in the previous steps and got the girl to buy into the idea of sex before the pull, you can close upwards of 90%. Because they came home with you as a result of wanting sex.

But some systems are not as direct. For example, the Mystery Method had to factor in a process for how to deal with LMR because it didn't focus as much on sexuality.

While more sexual styles rarely face LMR and in fact, in some situations, have girls escalating on them.

So, if you are closing 50-90%+, you're doing good

Again no disrespect because I understand how annoying some guys who post and never take action can be. Always focusing on hypotheticals etc. So I understand where you're coming from - but I am a competent human being who is trying to learn daygame after a breakup. I'm a small business owner in my mid 20's with a ton of friends not some incel lurker guy... no offense to those who might be struggling socially/otherwise or still virgins ofc...

It just puts me off to the forum when beginner questions which seem reasonable are deemed mentally masturbating or dick measuring. Just feels bad faith to me.

My intention wasn't to belittle anyone.

This is just how I personally view the seduction process. Every seducer will have their own approach and metrics.

I didn't cover every single scenario or potential hurdle, but this should give you guys a good starting point for improvement.

I understand the beginning is always the hardest. To be transparent, most guys starting out will need to put in a lot of effort and approach a significant number of women initially

If, after all this, you find your success rate is 1 in 200, please don't get discouraged. Accept it, but also know it can be significantly improved.

Use the above as a guideline and identify where you might be having the most trouble. Post on the forums as much as possible when you encounter situations you can't figure out on your own

By asking specific questions about the problems you routinely face, you'll find that a lot of guys here will support you and give you honest feedback. This will help improve your ratio a lot, but please be kind to yourself

Don't expect to be good overnight and even with the perfect system you need accept that chances are high you'll need to spend a good amount of time cutting your teeth and may still deal with tons of frustration

I'm not here to sell anyone anything but rather set expectations properly for beginners

But anyways, here's a framework you can use in while working on improving your ratio

  1. Define Specific Problems: You should have a few recurring challenges after a period of taking action.
  2. Brainstorm Solutions: You can do this on your own or by asking for feedback.
  3. Test Solutions: Try out the solutions, but also give them time to work. The solution itself may not be wrong, but the execution might be off.
  4. Measure Results: Did the solution actually work? If not, after a good number of attempts, you may need to move on quickly.
  5. Reiterate: Go through these steps over and over again.

Wish y'all the best

Thank you @TomInHo for the detailed message. Glad we got past that initial misunderstanding. This is super helpful and specific. Really appreciate you taking the time to write it out - definitely something I will continue to come back to as I refine my approach.

Will update the boards with where it takes me !

Master PUA ratio is like 1:7 (I’m pretty sure that’s what Teevster said his was, anyone correct me if I’m wrong)

Hector said there was one year where he only approached 5 women because he wasn’t focusing on picking up, but still laid every single girl. So theres that

You can get really good at this shit if you put your mind to it man!
Some level of luck and selection involved, i’d say if you want to increase your “ratio”, as long as you aren’t socially dysfunctional, you’ll see bigger returns on that metric by zoning in on fundamentals and your appearance in terms of the type of girls you go after.

After that boils down to your aggression (how active you are) and sex drive.

The bar for how socially adept you have to be raises the older you get and the older the girls you go after. But it comes naturally if you’re active but also depends person to person how soon you rise to that bar.

My first time cold approaching I was able to see returns in 1:3, the second approach was a group but they were 15 or 16 I was 18 or 19 and felt they were too young. Day game. First approach I tried the same exact approach as the girl I laid, got ghosted, but it ended up working on the third girl, go figure.

Third girl was working but could feel she was into me, so some degree of unconscious target selection, my game wasn’t where it is lately so I was what i’d call now, uncalibrated, but fundamentals and aggression made up for it. Without a date!

Since then i’ve been able to swing 1:2, 1:1, 1:3, on fundamentals, target selection, and leading alone (luck too), without too much of my new and improved game, i.e not fucking up the interaction by trying to game a already sold girl. I’m 21 now.

I feel like zoning in on ratio leads to neediness and likewise some degree of self sabotage. Personally my best attempts are when I don’t care about that and am just really attracted and or horny.

Third girl was working but could feel she was into me, so some degree of unconscious target selection, my game wasn’t where it is lately so I was what i’d call now, uncalibrated, but fundamentals and aggression made up for it. Without a date!

Since then i’ve been able to swing 1:2, 1:1, 1:3, on fundamentals, target selection, and leading alone (luck too), without too much of my new and improved game, i.e not fucking up the interaction by trying to game a already sold girl. I’m 21 now.

I feel like zoning in on ratio leads to neediness and likewise some degree of self sabotage. Personally my best attempts are when I don’t care about that and am just really attracted and or horny.
Yea people have bastardized ratios, ratios is just a metric for success.... If my ratios go down i try to self reflect on were is the issue, most breakthrough that stop working comes directly from sudden drop on ratios... However the context of ratios matter more when people are indiscriminately spam approaching and putting just volume without learning from their seductions and cont. To spam approaching without self reflection and improvement.... Ratios have to have context... What type of hotness, what target selection, are you traveling, huge age gap etc.... really good ratios should be 1 out of 10 approaches when it comes to cold approaches to girls 10 years up and down your age or look age... once you reach that level you are really good in cold approach.... Worrying and thinking about ratios is retarded, most people will get a gut feeling when what they are doing stop working or need re adjustments or will stop gaming....

The topic was very specifically randomly approaching random women in daytime. Not ratios in general. The context was defined specifically within this thread.

There was a guy (@isildur1) being mocked and insulted for having a 1 in 30-50 ratio depending on stuff like country, where every detail is specified by him. This is where the entire discussion came from.

You can't mock a guys ratio as being too low, without defining what's normal or high or possible in that context.

NONE of the people who asked what's normal asked about *ratios in general*, nor did they ask for a universal ratio.

Just "If that's a bad ratio, can you tell us what's a decent ratio?". That's all...

And we're getting essays upon essays of why it doesn't matter all the while calling newbies ego-driven dick-measurers and now even "retarded". You can't have it both ways.

To go back to the analogy by @Bob Z, it's like having a sales manager making fun of my closing rate when I do door-to-door sales, but then when I ask "ok then what closing rate is normal, like what do you see otherwise?" then they give me hour long speeches about how it doesn't matter.

5. How do I sexualize and get her to buy in?
6. How do I deal with objections to the pull?
7. How do I text if the pull is not on that night?
8. How do I sexually escalate to avoid LMR?
Hello TomInHo, what is your advice for #5? These days, if I ever get to that point, I have less of an issue with objections at #6 or #8; but what should I do if there is no right moment to seed the pull? For example, in this recent FR, I was successful in initial daytime approach, number close, and same-day date; but couldn’t find an inroad to isolation at my nearby hotel room and intimacy. Thanks in advance for your advice. -Marty
