Hey all...
I'm trying to get some help cold approaching female groups of 3 or more, based on a couple of day game sets I did this week...
(Two Females or a Duo, would be a whole post in itself, which I'll ask another time.)
The first approach involved a business woman in the lobby of the high-end hotel the show I work for was filming at upstairs in the Presidential Suite.
She was attending a beauty conference on the lobby floor.
I had seen her earlier, and had to approach once I saw her again...
I used a mostly genuine opener with a (true) time constraint - introducing myself to the group...then turning to her and saying how she sooo much reminded me of Jackie Claux, a Peruvian Girl who I had a personal experience after graduating college, and before moving to LA. And how it brought back a lot of fond thoughts about our past personal experience... She said that she gets that alot.
Now, her one older co-conference person (can't really say co-worker, cuz I didn't really get to know the group that well) looked off, with this kinda like - roll your eyes, this guys hitting on my coworker look. Whereas the younger "cute but average" co-conference Girl next to her kinda joined in our conversation, as if she was trying to help me with my target girl.
I then noticed my target had a HUGE married ring on... and it kinda stopped me in my tracks...just as a professional group of five dudes, joined the group, and I exited by saying - "looks like you're having a party here. Cool to meet ya!"
The second approach was bit later but in the same lobby with a 6ft European Model who was entering the conference room with an older woman, and a metro-sexual guy I screened as a co-worker and not a bf or anything...
I was very time constrained and so were they so I resorted to giving her my Fine Art Photography Card (what I do on the side of Film & TV) and asked that she reach out to me for a possible Noir 1940's, 50's style Set her look could fit (all true by the way!) I offered the Older Woman and the metro-sexual guy a card as well, but they politely said they were okay. I asked for the models name, and tried to give her a "man-to-woman" handshake (look up Todd V to explain this) in which she did do the handshake but it was very weak, weird, and she wasn't having it.
Then I exited because they had to go, and I was also taking care of something related to my show...
The third approach was today at the Mall - and I HATE the MALL. But I had to go there for something.
A redhead girl, again who could fit one of my photography sets, walked passed me an joined a group of 4 girls sitting at the food court.
I did a couple of discreet passes debating on whether I should make the approach or not since my head a was full of personal and work related stuff I was in the process of doing.
I decided to make the approach, and my opener was terrible - "I can't tell, but you guys look like you could be in High School, but also like you're kinda of age..." Then I turned to the redhead (who actually didn't look as good up close as she did passing by) and said "I'm a photographer and your look could fit a set I have in mind, here's my card..." And then all kinda like silently HISSED at ME... And the friend next to her, who I now actually think I shoulda really gone for her because she had these incredible breasts flowing out of an undersized v-neck hipster t-shirt, jumped in and said "I'm actually a photographer too..." And I replied, "cool, what format do you shoot?" And she said, "Fine Art." And I was like, "Cool, I shoot Fine Art too, but what format do you shoot?" And she was like "Sony..." And again I was like - "Ok, but what format, like Film, or Digital, or what?" And she was like - "Digital." And it went silent, as they all looked up and silently HISSED at ME again...
And I was like - "well there's my card on the table." Nice meeting you all" as the Redhead said - "Okay BYE!"
So Fuckin Weird. It stuck for a bit...And then I laughed about it. Cuz That is literally the first time I've gotten that reaction from Day Game Approaches since I legitimately started last August...
Soooooo - excited to hear all your thoughts on how to Make Things Happen in similar situations with Day Game, Cold Approach and Female Groups of 3 or more!!!
