Any tips for super packed, loud venues?

Do any of you guys still pull without any dance game in venues where you can barely walk through the crowd? Any tips? I feel like it's an excuse to not open just because it's so loud (there's always the venue edges, a bit quieter). But in venues with no good isolation spots, should I brush up on 60 Years of Challenge physical game? Not sure how to really run the pickup even if you get a receptive girl with good eye contact but can't converse to build comfort. I don't want to write off venues with hot girls just 'cause I don't know how to do it.

One open tonight, led to a solid interaction. Failed pull attempt, but she asked to exchange numbers right after.

***

Napped til 10pm and hit snooze a bit, so didn't get inside until about 11pm.

Venue 1 - Downstairs live band with a bunch of dudes dressed like shit. Upstairs club packed like sardines. Maybe like three hot 2-sets in the place. They literally played "save a horse, ride a cowboy", then a minute later it's a bunch of white kids singing "they not like us... they not like us..." pretty wack.

Venue 2 - Converted warehouse venue, pretty hip stylish crowd. Similar to above, once you're ten feet in the venue you can barely move. It's cool for slow walking to spot eye contact approach invitations (also got a couple hair flips), but am I supposed to shout HEY HOW'S YOUR NIGHT GOING at the top of my lungs? I can see talking in a girl's ear being fun, but not sure how to reach the hook point and get into screening/qualifying. Then you have to navigate the sardine tin to try to move her to the wall to talk? The girls here seemed cool. Does this require super physical screening game?

***

Venue 3 - About midnight, went to an alternative venue. Young crowd, everyone in all black, lots of fishnets and such. Less packed, quieter music in one of the rooms... a couple couches actually available despite a decent crowd. Much more promising. There was a lone wolf against the wall, so I asked her if there was another big room in the venue (later found out I was right but they only use it for big events). She actually brought me to go find her friend to ask her. She couldn't find the friend so I asked her to accompany me around and scope the venue.

We reach the outdoor smoking section and I start getting to know her. She hasn't gone out like this in a year and her friends dragged her out. Full time Starbucks barista, maybe 22 or so. Busty, fishnets, skirt, black boots. A dude in a fishnet shirt, white contacts, goth makeup, and a white fur coat (@Vibe was that you? lol) chats with us a bit. I got cold and led her back in.

***

Locked in against a wall and learned about her artistic side, drawing hobby. She asks a bit about me too. No issue with proximity, bodies against each other. She scratches her wrists from time to time (pretty reliable horny sign). Her roommate comes up happy she found her, then immediately was like oh no we need to leave you alone... like she was really happy she was talking to me, since she dragged her to come out. It was pretty funny. She came back a minute later and directly asked my girl if she was ok. I introduced myself to her friend (long hand hold she didn't let go), and her friend's girlfriend. So these are both big tit gay goth girls. Like one had a collar with a metal ring on, and her girlfriend's tits were basically falling out her top. They were both instantly cool with me and left us to be alone.

So I moved her to a couch. This girl was pretty trusting from the get go and very "with me". Neither of us were drinking so I didn't have a good plausible deniability pull reason like nightcap or whatever. So I told her it was getting late and I like to decompress and take in the view at home before going to sleep. I asked her to come with me and we can keep chatting there. She said "not tonight" and explained putting herself out there was a big step and trusting someone like that was a bit too far out of her comfort zone. She might have simply needed another 15 minutes of time together. Or maybe my sticking point here is verbal arousal through second gen frame setting, lover prizing, etc.?

So in response to the pull attempt, she offered to exchange numbers, and made sure the text went through. She said yes to meeting for coffee or something. I know night game numbers don't mean much, but the overall compliance and interest seemed pretty good.

***

Overall sort of successful... one approach with three isolation moves and a seemingly solid time bridge. But nowhere near the 12 sets a night I need to get enough practice in. I have more venues to scout, so will have to see if there's a tradeoff between higher end venues conducive to conversational pickup and the women being older.

Around 1am, I went back to Venue 1 to the same scene, and then back to Venue 2 to it being even more loud/packed.

Yep, I also struggle with the loud, packed venues. Never gone well for me. Hopefully somebody with experience chimes in.

I haven't completely cracked it yet. It seems like most advanced nightgamers avoid it like the plague. But here is some outer game tweaks that worked for me:

  • General strat that somewhat works seems to be rushing for a k/close and some sexual dancing/grinding.
  • Have a big smile while you talk in her ear. She will likely only hear about 80% of what you are saying or likely even less than that but as long as you have a giant grin while you are talking in her ear she will just assume it is something fun or positive. The good vibes must keep on flowing. She will be able to see you smiling with the corner of her eyes.
  • Eye contact and sexual eye contact. Every so often after you say something, pull away from her ear and give her strong EC, like you are scanning for something. This breaks the monotony and you stop being just "some guy" yelling in her ear in the club like she meets every other weekend. Also, it gives her a moment to soak up your face and general "aura".
  • Physical touching. Comes naturally while you talk to her, you pull her in arm over back. Arm over hips is more risky.
  • If she is passing by you try to look her in the eyes and try to get prolonged EC. Sometimes you can just pull them in and kiss close.
  • Peacocking works really well in those venues. You will get approached and opened a lot if done well. Just don't go overboard or you will end up looking like a clown, I made this mistake recently. It needs to be the right combination of sexy and cool but unique and interesting to work really well. Unless it is a special occasion like a music festival or rave then you can go bonkers. For clubs: one or two easily noticeable interesting item max. Pro tip: unless you are significantly tall, do not wear hats or caps or drunk people will just keep taking them off.

Biggest problems in clubs like those are group dynamics and isolation. It is really hard to run the group where she can barely hear you, but you still need to talk to her friends. Just a one or two sentences to her friends about her at least like: "Your friend is awesome." That's like the bare minimum ime.

It can be hard to isolate, cause even if she will kiss you and dance/grind with you, it is all "fun" and she wants to stay in the club with her friends.

Maybe someone more experienced who pulls regularaly from such venues can chime in.

Also, no reason to write off and avoid dance game. Majority of people still dance in venues like those it's just a little more minimal and contracted. You should at least attempt it. Lots of good tutorials on youtube if you feel uncomfortable or don't know what to do.
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

@Vibe great tips man! Thank you. Guess I've got to tap into the whole nonverbal primal aspect of it and treat it like physical game. I'll definitely try your suggestions.

Yeah I might have to find a sweet spot venue that is large enough but also not too loud. I'm a beginner so I don't want to burn a whole venue too quick and need a bit of anonymity for sake of practice.

I got super sick with a fever recently so am looking forward to getting out there again.

This girl never answered my texts at all so I sent a ball in her court. Then this morning she still hasn't answered in words but sent me a Snapchat invite... I'm too old for this shit haha

You've got me beat. When I tried a venue like that, the venue frightened me and I ran.

Any tips?
Go later when there’s less people. I have a venue like that around here that I like. Early on it’s packed but then a lot of people go home and that’s when I go in.

Good tip actually. Some of these venues seem to get busier later but it might have been a fluke that night. The Google maps graphs all seem to show reduction after midnight.

I've been planning one venue 10pm-12am and another 12-2am. So maybe I will start somewhere quiet and reserve the loud packed clubs for later on.

Only downside is missing the deals on cover for early entry.

Update: our texts were only working one way. I installed Snapchat and she was answering fast and complaint for a date. I just took her out for tea and she had an unusual mix of compliance and asking about me while having fairly closed off body language. She rejected three pull attempts and said maybe the third time meeting someone.

Upon dropping her off I learned she is 21 and has never been kissed! She was nervous and I didn't push it but I was officially this girl's first cheek kiss (give and receive).

So overall pretty cool: third ever night excursion and I picked up a young virgin from a goth club. Seems like she'll be down for a second date.
