Will has an article on it. I wrote some down with a list of venues:
Libraries after 12pm
Grocery stores Monday to Thursday 7-9pm
Mall Friday and Saturday 2-5pm
Coffee shops Saturday and Sunday 12-4pm
Google maps has cool graphs per hour on busy spots (including public parks) that sometimes display live data, showing deviations in red.
Will as in me or a different Will?
I haven't written any articles for the site at this point, I do remember having written some stuff about daygame spots and times on the forum though.
Yo, I'm chilling at a lake that is sometimes swarming with hotties but I haven't seen a thing in the last 45 minutes. It's 5pm on a Saturday and the weather is nice. There's plenty of people but seemingly no attractive women. Similarly I spent a recent Sunday afternoon cruising around downtown and saw nothing for like 2 hours. It was disappointing. Do you guys find mornings are better on the weekdays? Interested to hear your thoughts!
During the week, I find the best time to be 4pm-7pm when girls are on their way home. Friday evenings is much better than other weekdays as girls are more relaxed and fun-focused, and often are going home alone to watch movies or something while seeing all these other girls going out to have fun, and this gives them huge fomo and makes them much more receptive to a cool guy walking up.
On the weekend it's a bit hit and miss. I tend to find Sunday to be slightly better, I think generally a lot of girls go out alone sunday afternoon to chill or exercise and clear their minds for the week ahead, whereas Saturday is more events/socializing. Of any day of the week saturday is probably the worst where I'm at.
As for spots my favorites are the mall, any riverside/lakeside areas as girls will go there to chill and relax, and especially open-air courtyards with cafes/restaurants/events, especially near the water, as these tend to have a good balance of social energy and relaxation which makes approaching more congruent.
You can definitely approach a pretty girl you see in bookstores and clothes stores but it has to be super indirect and low pressure, and you can't be wandering around spam approaching in there.
In fact you can approach girls pretty much anywhere, but some places are just difficult because of the general vibe of the area - such as it feeling too out-of-the-way or shuttered, which makes girls defenses go up, or a place where traffic is moving fast through a narrow path, and the Venturi effect causes everyone to feel hassled and in a rush and wanting to be out of there.
If you want to be good in a lot of different places you need to be able to read the ambient energy and adjust yours accordingly.
