Direct vs. Indirect

Direct game means approaching a woman with open intent. You make her aware of your desire either verbally or with body language.

When do you do direct game? During the day or,  at night when your status is higher than hers or she is already attracted to you. However, even if she is not attracted to you, simply by approaching her and putting it all on the line demonstrates alpha characteristics ( confidence ) which can switch on attraction all by itself.  So how can your status be higher than hers? If you are in the same room as her, DHVing in ways like  enjoying the company of other attractive women and being alpha (leader of your group) then she may already be attracted.

Direct works well during the day. When put together with a time constraint you can get a number close, she gets attracted by your confidence and yet both of you can exit out of this high stakes but exciting situation quickly. 
Remember, people going about their business during the day  at a shopping mall, for example, are not in a social situation. Doing indirect during the day is not as productive and a little wierd since the woman will know what you're up to anyway - she won't have time for it and neither will you.


The problem with Direct game at night is that, in many cases, it becomes a Yes/No ultimatum for the woman when you tell her that you like her. Even if she is initially attracted the chemistry may not spark and she may feel burdened by your presence especially if you are in a club and it is early in the night. So, if she is already attracted to you, your status is higher and you can demonstrate that she won't be burdened if attraction doesn't build then go direct at night.



Indirect Game means approaching with active disinterest verbally and through body language. You communicate this with tactics such as opinion openers, pointing your feet away while talking to a group and saying things such as 'I've only got a second but..'

When do you do indirect game? if a woman is not yet attracted to you or her status is higher than yours then indirect gives you the time to game her because she feels that you are not a threat. It works well where there is a big age difference. A 45 year old directly hitting on a 20 year old without attraction can feel sleazy to a girl but approaching indirectly can get her to want you through building attraction in a way that feels comfortable for her.

The disadvantage of indirect is that you may just become friends with the girl (by being non-sexual on open) and the Beta style of indirect body language and opinion openers. However these disadvantages should be mitigated after the open by discarding the open style once in set. i.e. now you are facing them, getting sexual, controlling the group etc. - all Alpha traits. Anyway as an older guy you likely have good internal game and status having accomplished significant things in your life.

Where there is age disparity use indirect, otherwise either method depending on the circumstance.
