Raderick Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Anyone who lives in San Diego knows about Oktoberfest. It's the first weekend in October in which there's bratwursts, lots of beer, lots of parties and lots of clubs with cheap-ass shots. Anyone who knows anything about me realizes that I'm the shyest person in the world. For example, if i'm given a green light by a woman to chat with her, even if she grabs a microphone and says "Dakota, I wanna get to know you", I'd be hesitant before I walk over, then probably not go talk to her at all. So with that said, I'm putting all shyness and anxiety to the wayside, getting myself tipsy to the point where i can get loose, and I'm going to actually talk to women.
Pfiend101 Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 go get em. Just gotta run through some hoodrats first.
sanskrit Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Stay mostly sober when meeting new people. Drunks are not nearly as charming as they think they are, and I know this from significant personal experience. Good luck.

Drunks are not nearly as charming as they think they are, and I know this from significant personal experience. Good luck. So, I decided to drink some at home before going (the place I went to is only two blocks away from where I live) and I had to go alone since my friend had to tend to his own girlfriend (meh). So with that said the dance floor was full of people dancing. It's safe to say that my shyness showed up when I didn't want to, since I'm hardly a dancer and I got questioned twice by two random people why I didn't go after two different woman. I was wearing a leather jacket I bought from my friend, my favorite shirt (think that Boston bomb scare in 2007) plus jeans, and I was complimented by a TON of people about the jacket (and I even let a couple people try it on, including one gal, for kicks) but it stopped right there. I tried to get to talk to a few gals, but somehow I was slowly shut down by other guys. Probably just gals who wanted to get drunk, dance a lot and probably **** at the end of the night (not me). I should have heeded your advice badly, because I realized how out of place I was being inside the building. I like the atmosphere a lot and the music, while not anywhere near my tastes, was flowing. But yeah, I'd like to go downtown to see some night clubs for fun, but this isn't the place for me specifically to meet women, or at least my type of woman.

And that makes the whole thing worthwhile. Seek out places where there are attractive women in an environment you feel comfortable in, you like the music, lighting, it's not too loud, etc. Find several places like that and then go to those places over and over until you feel at home, makes a big difference.
