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!

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.

Another thing is it's really close to school starting, so depending on the city, people's movement patterns are very different right now, including end of summer trips, saying goodbyes, moving early, etc.

Will as in me or a different Will? :D 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.

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.

I would also add during weekdays the time of the lunch break. You won’t have enough time then and there since they will getting back to work soon, but you can have a short interaction and exchange contacts.

Saturdays are a bit tricky as mentioned, because people generally have plans with friends, maybe you can try more touristic spots for lone travellers.

Also for Sunday, I agree with what you say about downtown being empty. Try to go away from the places that are very busy during the week. If you think about it the areas of the city that are very busy during the week are the ones people go for work and shopping, both of which don’t happen on Sunday mostly. I’ve found that parks or areas around the river/lake are way more packed then.

As an addition, any time later in the evening, when people go back home from a night out could be good. Not really daygame since it’s night, and they may be tired and not want to do something then and there, but you can surely exchange contacts, and who knows what kind of pull you can stumble into. This time will depend on your city and the day.

@Will_V lol I have always kind of wondered if you were the same William... Despite thr staff member designation, you'd think the big glaring "_V" would have been a clue lol

I have also confused the Francos and once asked topcat if he was Swinggcat lol

Here's the article!


I was surprised he didn't include malls on Sundays. In my area it's just as busy on Saturdays. Scouting is part of the fun. Ricardus also once mentioned posting up by the main subway in the central business district and letting them all funnel by you lol and fog spent some time in Montreal focused on metros.

I think early morning runners would be a good crop of gals. Also 8am at cafes before the workday.

It's Sunday morning... Time for church!

Yeah, i typically dont do any city game on the weekend. Bunch of friends and families roaming around. Id say single girls run away from cities and go on quiet adventures on the weekend - at least the girls im interested in.

If i really feel like gaming, its between 9pm-11pm as im going home after a couple beers with my buddies on a saturday (easy to spot lone cuties on trains / stations on their way back home too) and on the streets / parks between 7pm-9pm on sundays in summer. Sometimes 2pm-4pm too, tho id say mostly in winter. Many girls love strolling around but hate crowds.

Otherwise, pretty much any other day of the week between noon and 4pm. Sometimes after 7pm too if its still bright out. Trains that connect student cities are especially packed with hotties.

Not sure about mornings, will give it a shot.

Thanks for the insights everyone! I think I just need to be more specific about where I go, at what time, and on what day. I already know that after work during the week is golden. I used to bike home from work and just hit girls up on my way home (and occasionally on my way there in the morning)--it was excellent. Weekends though are trickier. What I do know is that (unsurprisingly) the farmer's market and grocery store and nearby streets are pretty good on Sunday.

Well put. Maybe I need to start going on my own little adventures and bump into them :) I do like resting on the weekends though

Good point. It's always insightful to consider seasonal factors (but also easy to overlook).

Interesting. Maybe Saturdays will be my off day. I have thought maybe it'd be a good technique to just set up a hammock at the park and keep an eye on people passing by while reading a book or something.

True maybe I'll swing by the tourist area on Saturday. Problem is it's usually a thronging crowd so it seems hard to get a solid approach amidst the chaos. Also very few people are alone. But maybe I need to post up and get better and seeing the good opportunities amidst the chaos.
Scouting is part of the fun.
That's a great attitude to have; I should adopt that mindset instead of getting disappointed when a place is dry. And thanks for the article I'll read that.

Funny enough I took it easy on Sunday at a nearby park and was just lounging in the sun reading GC articles when, boom, a legitimately stunning 20 yo chick appeared nearby. I approached her and had a wonderful interaction with her which led to an instadate and number close. I didn't go searching, yet it came to me.
