Yesterday I turned 34.
I never had a serious romantic relationship (my longest one was 6 months).
This year I decided to attack this challenge by working with a professional dating coach.
Night game is a nightmare
I used to think that “meeting women” meant going out at night (night game).
The truth is I never liked bars and clubs much.
I don’t like the heavy noise (shouting in people’s ears), the crowding, the smoke, and the fast-paced, high-energy dynamics that always confuse and overwhelm me. I’m an introverted, low-energy person. I also hated the competition with other men.
This was never my natural environment.
Online game has never worked for me either.
I hired 3 different photographers, switched photos and bios many times, and consulted with people who’re good at this. I had zero success, and very few matches with unattractive women, who barely responded.
Online dating was an endless radio silence.
What about friends and social circles?
Since I became a digital nomad last year, this has become a challenge. I often move around cities and countries and don’t have time to build strong social circles.
It was clear to both my dating coach and me: It’s time for a different approach.
Return to the old fashion way
After analyzing my patterns and preferences, we reached a terrifying conclusion:
It’s time for me to start meeting women during day time (aka Day Game). This is ironic because day game is the one style I was TRUELY afraid of. No alcohol, no script lines, no friend to introduce you to her.
Just you and a complete stranger conversing out of the blue.
A terrifying yet character-building experience
So I took this challenge upon myself.
I deleted Tinder and Bumble and went outside to approach women in real life. I learned how to approach professionally: The pre-frame, opener, complementing, handling conversation, flirting, relating to another person’s emotions, and asking for a number.
Sounds easy, right? Absolutely not.
The first 30-50 approaches were terrifying: My legs shook, my heart beat, and I often forgot what I wanted to say. I had to put my fragile ego out there, be open and vulnerable, and face tons of rejections. Many times I had no idea what I was doing.
Day game really threw me outside my comfort zone.
Why did I care so much about what women I don’t know think of me? Or whether people around me would laugh at me? It made no sense.
I kept pushing forward, becoming more and more capable and confident.
And after 6 months, tons of instant dates, spontaneous adventures, and making new friends and lovers, I realized I’m not afraid of rejection, I’m confident in putting myself out there, and I’m not willing to compromise on the quality of the women I date.
Day game has given me more experience in 6 months than I’ve gained in 6 years of online and night game.
Society teaches men to stay lonely
Society often misleads men.
It keeps telling them that approaching a woman outside and genuinely complimenting her is a form of sexual harassment. This is why most men never approach women during day time, or without drinking. Even when they have good intentions.
But reality will surprise you.
After approaching 500-700 women in 6 different countries (Albania, Spain, Turkey, Israel, Serbia, and Bosnia), I can confidently say: Most women are receptive, they appreciate compliments, and they respond well. If you approach them in a calibrated, tactful manner.
Day game genuinely works.
Even when they’re not interested or in a committed relationship, they’ll rarely react negatively, rudely, or in a bad way.
You have nothing to be afraid of.
A real dating alternative for nomads?
Day game turns my boring days into adventurous, spontaneous, and unexpected ones.
I met much higher-quality women, in comparison to dating apps or nightclubs.
It’s fully integrated with my remote, location-independent, nomadic lifestyle.
I don’t have to waste precious time in bars and clubs anymore.
It builds my courage, decisiveness, boldness, character, and masculine energy. I see it as a form of personal development.
Oh, and there’s ZERO competition. You’re literally swimming in a blue ocean.
By the time most men head out, start drinking, and gather the courage to approach a cute girl they like - I already have two dates on my calendar. Usually with women I met running errands.
How does that sound, compared to swiping for hours, or getting wasted in some pub crawl?
