Social Circle Dating


A lot of men automatically think of clubs and bars when they think of meeting women. That's where they're supposed to pick up strangers with clever lines, interesting stories, funny games and proven routines...

There's no shortage of material on these subjects: ebooks, videos, seminars, workshops and "in-field" hands-on training. The students of mainstream dating education somehow got the idea that in order to get laid, get a girlfriend or develop a long-term relationship, you have to be good at picking up strangers.

The problem is, picking up women is not for everyone and it simply may not be the best for you personally.
Theoretically, it is possible for everyone to become good at night game... if you stick to it long enough... But learning to play the "night game", just like learning anything else (such as learning a foreign language or learning to play the guitar), is easier for some men than for the others. Not everyone learns it at the same speed with the same effort. And not everyone can stay in the game long enough to master it.

Due to various reasons such as age, looks, character, cultural background, social environment, not everyone would last long enough to master it. The learning curve is just too steep for some men even though they would like to "persevere". That's why the abandon rate is also high while only a handful of men benefited from night game significantly.

Most people date a friend of a friend, an acquaintance of a family member, an associate of a co-worker, a contact of a classmate... or someone they've met during a social activity, a fund-raising event, a conference...

The undeniable fact is that most women date men through social interactions and not through bars and clubs. Some high-quality women never go to bars and clubs so the only way to meet them is through social circles.

In fact, the power of social circle dating is so frequently underestimated. If you're not satisfied with your dating life, you should probably look into it.

However, larger social circles don't automatically equate getting laid more often. There are plenty of men who seem to know everyone else but still don't have girlfriends.

You also have to know how social dynamics work, namely how to build larger social circles, how to meet women in them, the dos and don'ts of dating in social circles, and so on.
