Nick Krauser - Daygame Nitro; Street Pick-up for Alpha Males

I remember my initiation into day game. Picture the scene Im on my first ever boot-camp, just one month and twenty approaches since my first ever foray into cold approaching. Im at absolute rock bottom in terms of confidence and happiness since its only four months since my wife walked out on me. People who see photos of me from this time cringe, barely believing I couldve sunk so closely towards the omega pit of despair. So Ive read some Mystery Method, paid my deposit and turned up for the Friday night boot-camp with a mix of anticipation, hope and nerves.

Friday went well and Id gotten the number of a pretty girl using an opinion opener and some clumsy DHV stories [DHV = demonstration of higher value]. We are told theres a special new day game session the following afternoon at Borough Market in central London. Its presented like its just a throwaway bonus to the meat of the syllabus (night game) but I attend. It blows my mind.

With the benefit of hindsight I see the frame was day game for betas. The instructor and now a good friend (Johnny Wisdom) showed us how to run up to girls and open directly with a strong compliment and then immediately qualify them. So for example:

Thats all - it was a basic boot-camp with a laser focus on opening. I did nine opens in an hour and got no numbers. But what I did get was a strong belief that I could now open girls I see walking down the street, anytime, anywhere. That felt tremendously powerful. Like most men Id go about my daily life and encounter many, many beautiful women strolling through their days oblivious to my presence. Id see them, feel intense attraction and then just stand like an idiot thinking if only I knew what to do. Johnny had given me a way in.

I spent all of that summer working on my day game building from the basic direct opener. Then came winter with the rain, wind and snow, yet I was still out every weekend hassling unsuspecting women. A lot of girls were told they were gorgeous that winter. Inevitably I began to see patterns to the interactions and massive differences between what I saw and what the theory books (for night game) told me I should see. I began to see subtleties that had earlier gone undetected. Gradually I realised day game was a completely different beast to night game.

So I went searching for day game theory. There wasnt any. Pretty much the entirety of the day game instruction I could find was one of these:

1. Mystery method designed for group sets in nightclubs carelessly crammed into a day game setting. It involved standing still somewhere and hollering to girls with an opinion opener then running the usual negs, take-aways and DHV stories. Horrible. Like using roller-skates for ice-skating.
2. A direct opener and then nothing. Day game was taught as an opener and then youre left to flounder in meaningless chit-chat for five minutes with no idea of where you are or where youre going, to then ask for a number that will never be answered.

Over the past six months or so a few full-featured day game models have been released. As I write here in London we seem to be entering the golden age of day game - a time when all the guys who have been plugging away set after set for years are finally organising their thoughts and getting them onto paper. Aspiring new day garners will have a choice of models to study and implement, leading them from open through to the dating.

This is a good thing. So why am I throwing my hat into the ring? All of the day game models Ive seen so far are beta. Its day game for nice guys. Day game for guys who put girls on a pedestal. Heres the difference between those systems and mine:

The Krauser Daygame Model has alphaness built in to every step. Its all about projecting alpha from the very beginning and setting the frame that you have the value and she is very lucky to get the opportunity to know you. Right now, at the beginning of this book, its probably tough to see just how important this frame is and how it subtly affects every stage of the game. Ill explain as I go.

The objectives of this book are:

1. Understand there is a sequential progression through the different stages of a street pick up. This exists because humans are hard wired with a courtship ritual and this is refracted through the cultural context into a day game pick up.
2. Learn to recognise where you are in each stage and what you need to do to progress to the next stage.
3. Understand the core concepts that underlie pick up and how you must work on your personal value before game with yield results for you.

This book is targeted to guys who already at an intermediate level. By this I mean guys who have already approached a few hundred girls and can push themselves past approach anxiety. Guys who are getting girls phone numbers and maybe even banging one every now and then. If Ive just described you then great - this method is perfectly pitched at you and youre gonna save a lot of trial and error.

What if its not you?

Flip straight to the back of the book for the Daygame for Betas section. Ive outlined the absolute basic do-this-say-that elements of introductory daygame. These are the fundamentals that will get you into sets with girls and guarantee a reasonable proportion of them stop, smile, and enjoy your company. It wont get you laid but itll give you some time in set, some positive responses, and youll begin to settle down and stop shitting yourself.

You dont need to be an alpha male / cool guy / hardcore player to be able to stop girls and have good interactions with them. All you really need is to be a bit better than the typical guy who doesnt even know Game exists. Girls are surprisingly nice when you are nice to them.

The backbone of this book is a sequential progression through the stages of the Krauser Daygame Model. The stages are outlined in the next section and then each chapter takes a stage and dives deep into the mindsets and processes. As you read through it, keep referring back to the initial one-page summary of the model to remind yourself where we are in the pick-up.

Also, be warned by my take-no-prisoners writing style. This is just how I talk. Imagine the whole of the book is us sitting in a pub, maybe a beer garden in central London, while we sup a few pints of beer and I harp on at length about my attitudes on life, the universe and everything. Its meant to be fun, like talking to girls itself is fun.

This model is a series of sequential stages. Ill discuss each stage with a chapter of its own to break down the concepts. In order, the stages are:

Kill Momentum - The purpose is to stop her and make her talk to you, to hear you out. You do this principally by showing high value immediately. This is the most structured stage and Ive broken it down further into sub-stages of: pre-approach, target acquisition, and spontaneous opener.
