Field ReportPokemon Go Get Laid (self.TheRedPill)

∞ Mod | RP Vanguardbsutansalt が 投稿

If you haven't heard by now, Pokemon Go is quickly becoming a worldwide phenomenon. It's one of the first games in history that actually connects people socially in real space rather than digitally, so there's a lot of potential here for meeting women or just making new friends.

I have younger family who started playing it the moment it came out, and some of my younger friends and I went for a bar crawl the other night and EVERYONE was playing it, my friends and I included. Before long we were meeting women left, right, and center and the impact of this little game was not lost on me from a TRP perspective.

I strongly recommend installing the app and finding a Pokestop or 2 near a bar or some other venues you like. Drop a Lure and just hang out playing the game and enjoy yourself as people start to arrive. You're going to meet a TON of women, likely surrounded by very weak, young, nerdy guys, and approaching them is as easy as pie. All of the hard work, such as breaking the ice, is already done for you. All you have to do is show up and spit your favorite day game.

Lastly, holy shit the quantity and quality of women this game will put you into contact with is astounding. I was debating even posting this thread so I'd have them for myself and to keep this under the radar, but it's too good not to share. Plus the general social impact this game is having is unparalleled. Forget the mental picture you might have of the people who play this, because it's going to be wrong. More people installed this game 1 week than have installed Tinder in the entire 5 years it's existed! That's translating to men and women of all ages from kids to the elderly playing this on the regular. This isn't your standard pimply faced nerd game. Oh no, this is big, so big you'd be a fool not to leverage it to its full potential.

Gotta catch 'em all indeed! Just be sure to wrap it up so you don't, you know, actually catch 'em all.

simply being okay with other people's pasttimes is often enough. Being willing to dive into a game with them puts you in a different category. No one wants to date the guy that looks down on them for liking what they like. xD

It's important to Game them only IRL. They usually have a ton of orbiters on social media/twitch/Steam as they spend most of their free time online. Adding them on social media will instantly drag you into their orbit. Use only text messages to set up meetings.

This x7. Also don't forget to hit up real gyms (as opposed to Pokémon gyms) so you physically stand out from the orbiters.

[–]Gostkowski 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

IMO Game is actually a thing that will make you stand out from other guys.

This Pokemon thing is good ice breaker, takes away awkwardness that cold approaches usually create, but it is also a trap that can land you into friendzone if it's the only topic you discuss with a girl.

I have a 19 yo who is "offended" I won't friend her. Yet every time she hears me show up online, she cheerfully says hiiiiiiii... Yeah, unless I decide I want her out of my view, she won't get added. Besides all I use Facebook for its car shit. Zero pics of me, only my cars and my dogs, only family and car contacts as friends.

Do you know how many men would be baited into showing off fake numbers of bedded women just for the sake of their ego? "Oh yeah well out of the 37 phone numbers I got I fucked 20 of them just last night, they were lining up outside my door."

Apart from some of the fictional field reports, I've never seen honesty on the scale of what I've seen on RP, your post especially. It's refreshing. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before some of those phone numbers lead to more plates.

      i just think hes being a fuckwit

      So you called him a creep and a looser to shame him into behaving in a way which you deem to be appropriate. A common tactic for those still stuck seeing the world through the blue lense is to attempt to police behaviors with buzzwords. 'Creep' is a great one for men as no guy wants to be the creep.

      The man above you was shaming the guy who now has deleted his post. Why? Maybe in part to make himself feel good, but more likely to shame him into pushing himself, to push that weak minded attitude out of him.

      You let your fee fees get in the way and attempted to shame with lame buzzwords the shaming which should motive him to cut that weak attitude out and go for it. He's a man, he should be able to take it.

        This is somewhat a trend, but it's completely amazing and incredible if this is the direction gaming is going. The fact that it uses the real world as it's playing arena is amazing, and really is the future. Imagine and MMO where instead of sitting in a chair in front of a computer to go on a quest or something, you have to go somewhere on earth to do so. That's completely incredible to me.

        Drive anywhere around a decently large city or town and you see flocks of people outside playing this game, however, wonder how that will change in the winter time or places where it's ball shrinking cold.

        What other games? I haven't heard of any until Pokémon go. I was thinking a bunch of other game developers would jump on the real world concept asap though.

        Ingress was released years ago, developed by the same studio as Pokemon Go and served as a foundation for it. Other than that though I don't know any mobile AR games either

        One I used to play is called Ingress. You go to physical locations that are pumping out energy fields and you can attack them or something. Pretty interesting.

        That is not a new idea. Its like saying World of Warcraft was the first MMORPG. Pokemon branded better and simplified what the predecessors had done.

        [–]greatslyfer -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

        Nah imo this is somewhat specific to Pokemon since one of the main premises of the game is SEARCHING and CATCHING a creature.

        Pokemons most popular phrase is "Gotta catch em all", so people are mainly anchored by their love of the show and its ability to become a part of people's actual lives.

        I highly doubt that games such as WOW or MMOs translate well in real life games. I mean it's not a basic premise in those games to SEARCH and CATCH creatures so the awesome challenge is not existent. In fact, I fucking hate travelling very long distances in those games, let alone real life distances.

        [–]2legion327 56ポイント57ポイント  (17子コメント)

        Can confirm. A buddy and I did this in the middle of the square in our downtown area on Saturday. Dropped lures on two side-by-side pokestops with a pokegym situated within range as well. It was just us there when we started. Within 20 minutes, over 40 people had shown up with about a 50/50 M/F ratio. We chatted up several of the women. The social engineering aspect of this game is amazing. We even found it incredibly easy to chat with them because the icebreaker is already there. You see them walk up with their phone out and immediately can ask what team they're on, etc. etc. You instantly have something in common.

        We later went to lunch at a nearby BBQ joint that had a pokestop next door. Spoke to the owner who said he had been dropping lures on his place all day and had done at least twice the business of previous lunchtimes on Saturdays. This is a cultural phenomenon at this point.

        edit: grammar

        Not to mention the 10+ miles we walked, dozens of local landmarks and historical sites we discovered, and the two new restaurants and an awesome local Australian bakery we found. Overall, a really great weekend with a good buddy that I haven't spent good quality time with in a long time. If you'd told me I'd get all that out of a stupid mobile game as recently as last week, I'd have laughed at you.

        [–]∞ Mod | RP Vanguardbsutansalt[S] 15ポイント16ポイント  (4子コメント)

        Same here. Also, "Pokemon leg" is now a thing. All these kids who haven't been physically active most of their lives are now complaining via social media about how sore their legs are. This is a net win for society, if a bit sad that kids are getting sore from just walking. Still, gotta start somewhere.

        [–]2legion327 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

        100% agree. There's already a sub called pokemongofitness, which is a testament to how positive this is for all of us as a whole. Personally, this is the first pokemon game I've played as it was never the kind of thing that interested me when I was younger, though I know it was really popular then. However, the sheer number of benefits are too good to be ignored. The only downside I've seen so far is an increase in traffic accidents. I can't definitively say that the large number of accidents I saw this weekend was related to POGO's release but... let's just call it a hunch.

        [–]CQC3 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

        The social aspect of gaming has always been the draw in the past 10 years. It's only now that people are starting to see it in tangible forms. I'm a bit disappointed because gaming gets shit on by so many shortsighted people on TRP. Understandably this has some obvious benefits (pokemon go) compared to plopping down all day in front of a screen, but when something like this comes along everyone is all on board acting like they haven't been calling it the devil all along.

        But I get it, it either gives a benefit now or fuck it in terms of efficiency, but as someone who has been following gaming culturally for most of my life it's really cool to see this transition. Gaming is the future IMO, in ways people are beginning to see. Reality and fictional spaces are merging in some good and bad ways, and have been for years now. Fascinating stuff.

        He probably slept with both of them. It's not uncommon to sleep with a girl you meet the same day.

        EDIT: I see what you mean. I disagree, I think sleeping with her once and seeing that she's hooked is enough to say she's a plate.

        [–]corsega 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

        I'm quite familiar with single-day lays. I'm calling bullshit on the fact that /u/Synzael met two girls in two days playing POKEMON GO and hooked both of them hard enough to call them "plates".

        Also, the word "plate" is just incredibly misused on this subreddit in general.

        [–]Synzael 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

        I agree man. Appreciate you making the distinction while I do think both girls qualify as plates unless they flake the next time we are supposed to fuck

        [–]Orig_analUse_rname 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

        Exactly. Let's not get to crazy/lazy here folks. A plate is a girl that you invest almost zero effort in but can lay regularly, not once.

        [–]Synzael -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

        I mean I fucked them once and already made plans to fuck them again. They could totally flake but I doubt they will so yeah I labeled them plates. I'm not bullshitting... lol

        I have younger family that turned me on to it and then some drinking buddies hit me up and we bar crawled while playing it the other night. It didn't take long before I realize the potential for this from a TRP perspective.

        As a UX designer, I installed the game primary to check out the interface since millions of people are going to be using it and it could influence future trends. I found the actual gameplay incredibly shallow, and I was planning to uninstall until yesterday.

        I took a walk along a paved trail near the river in my city, and literally everyone that had their phone out (at least 50 people over the course of an afternoon) was using the app. Later that evening I passed a spot where someone had dropped a lure and sure enough there was a group of 6-8 people that had gathered there, just like the OP describes.

        Every time I would run into someone that was using the app, there was an immediate connection, like we were members of a secret club or some shit. Running into a cute chick using the app was like having an instant ice-breaker.

        Also, I have not seen any stereotypical "gamers" using the app. It's only been fairly thin and attractive people. Possibly because it's very hot in my city but also due to the physical requirements the game has - if you don't physically walk, your character doesn't walk. I've seriously walked 20 extra miles over the past 4 days, purely from playing the game. I've also seen no one younger than 19 playing it.

        I went walking on my lunch hour today, and it was the same deal. Every college age person was using the app. I got the number of a cute HB8 by asking her where a Kingler I was looking for was. I've gotten numerous FB adds from other dudes with shared interests that I met playing GO - running the gamut from fellow lifters to business investors.

        Nintendo has really struck a cord here with 18-28 year-olds, people. I don't think it's going to last once it gets too cold to walk around outside, but in the meantime if you're looking to meet new people or talk to girls, there are a hell of a lot worse ways than this.

        BINGO! It's an instant commonality and you already have something to talk about. "Catch anything good?" is all it takes.

        It's a running joke in our community that Steve Jobs is the world's greatest cockblock for inventing the smartphone because of how disconnected it's made people in bars and clubs. This game single-handedly undoes that.

        I took over the gym at the Space Needle for a good 20 minutes with a Pidgeot named "Trump 2016". Hope I triggered Seattle SJWs by doing so.

        Anyway, its a fun game. Don't think that because its Pokemon, that its for kids, or for nerds, and by playing it, you will be seen as one.

        Pokemon was really, really big when I was in 5th/6th grade. Everyone liked it and I mean everyone. The last bastion of our childhood, right before we became teenagers. Of course once we got into middle school and started turning 13 everyone started to hate Pokemon and trash it because it was "for kids". But myself, while I trashed Pokemon with my friends, I secretly continued to like it and play it. I still buy all the games to this day. I guarantee I wasn't the only closet Pokemon fan all through high school and college. That's why I think this game is catching on, its popularity is giving people an excuse to drop the charade for hating Pokemon because its for kids, and allowing people to reconnect with their childhood and nostalgia.

        OP is right. I thought it would just be a bunch of nerdy rainbow dyed haired thick frame triggered glasses feminists playing it. While I have seen plenty of them playing it, I have seen a lot of non-geeky or non-SJW/feminist looking HBs playing it as well.

        Do what you like. Who cares what others think.

        It's an exception because EVERYONE liked Pokemon when it was big around 1998-2000. So a lot of people are returning for nostalgia purposes because its "cool" to be into Pokemon again.

        I'm still trying to figure out how this game works. Doesn't seem to have much interactivity with other players. How has this led to meeting girls for you?

        Real world locations are used in the game as places to collect items or 'control' via battling the ones the catch and train. Thus, people have to physically go to these locations to do so.

        Drop a Lure on a Pokestop in an area with a lot of foot traffic and watch the people pour in.

        A Lure Module is a more sophisticated version of incense that attracts Pokemon to a particular PokeStop for a period of 30 minutes. Not only is it more effective, but it also targets the PokeStop not just for the player, but all players interacting with the PokeStop during that period! It can be bought from the Shop in groups of either 1 or 8 in exchange for PokeCoins.

        I'm guessing he means a group chat via facebook messenger. It's what I was going to do so I can keep tabs with the people I've been meeting through the game.

        In the past two days, 5 numbers(this is being lazy with it as well, not even bothering to put effort in), and two new girls I'm fucking. I originally thought that the game was dumb as fuck, and people were childish for playing it. Still kind of do. But, as I saw all the pictures of people congregating due to this game, I realized just how crazy easy it becomes to be around women, without spending any money whatsoever, and having an easy in.

        Pokemon Go is silly, but fantastic. I now have two new women to fuck, who are in the top ten hottest of the 60+ I've fucked already. I don't even care what people think, this shit makes it so easy to get laid with no resources besides time.

        Law of averages. This game has such widespread appeal EVERYONE is into it. Once the newness wears off or the weather gets cold it'll probably die down in popularity where only the True Nerds play it, in which case the quality of the woman will likely decrease, but for now let's ride that gravy train for all it's worth!

        I've been seeing people talk about Pokemon Go EVERYWHERE on the internet, didn't expected to see it here.

        With that said, I liked how most comments are joking and having a general IDGF attitude towards being labelled nerd or for kids.

        [–]Seoul_Brother 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

        This is becoming a worldwide phenomenon I wish I could be a part of but can't bring myself to go back to. Ever since I saw all the hours I logged into Steam Games, I added it all up and realized I'd been leveling up monsters and characters (pixels on a screen), while giving money to developers that are getting rich off of our time and in game purchases.

        This is an awesome idea, but I'll stick treating my life like an RPG on hard mode ;)

        But I'll leave with this:

        "Wild plate appeared!" "Chad used Pokemon Go!" "It's Super Effective!"

        [–]PedroIsWatching 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

        If you live in a densely populated area you don't have to spend money at all. There are plentiful PokeStops (where you get free supplies on a timed basis) so unless you get super into it you don't have to buy anything (yet, that will probably change in a few months.)

        But yeah, it sort of a waste of time. If I wasn't meeting people with it I wouldn't even bother.

        [–]Seoul_Brother 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

        True, but I've spent too much time on video games in my teens/early twenties. All those logged hours into leveling up something or playing some game technically are zero sum and no matter how leveled up I get in it, I personally won't benefit from it long run and will have wasted all that time. Most mobile games have a fun factor for a couple of days to a couple of months even, but once it's over, it's over.

        I wouldn't derive much utility from knowing that simple fact about video games. I also logged like 500 hours in Skyrim and those are hours I'll never get back.

        For me personally, it's better to level up my career, body, health, etc. (because I also know that if I play a game, I'll undoubtedly get super into it).

        I can definitely see using Pokemon Go as a way to plate nostalgic/ nerdy girls though. All my friends and their mothers are playing this so it's bound to reel in some success stories.

        You could apply this logic to sex and only have sex when you're trying for a baby since all that other sex is just wasted time you could spend improving yourself, getting money, working out at the gym. Go celibate?

        Same. Im legitimately curious and want to try the game out, but gaming just bores me and I dont have much interest. Might be fun to try out just to meet some new people though.

        Let me just say that two nights ago, we had so many "teenagers" (16-16) on the green in the center of town, that police had to come and ask them to leave. (which is pretty dumb, kids playing Pokemon had to leave)

        But that proves how crazy this is. So many young women attracted to these areas, so many nerdy guys orbiting them

        True story. Was at a concert the other night. Before the main band came on stage, everybody was playing it. My friend and I were playing it and we were able to strike up conversations with everyone around us just because of the game. It's a light topic, gets you in a playful competitive mood, and allows you to connect to people and have your own fun at the same time.

        In toronto its even all over the news. People are doing meetings downtown and a ton of other places. Get on this hype train.

        I see this working for 2 groups:

        1. Established pua/rp's looking for a novel game scenario to get girls, as opposed to bar/street etc pickups.

        2. Nerd-inclined newbies to rp who may feel out of their element in clubs or bars. For them this could be a great catalyst to become better.

        For inbetweeners like myself it's pretty meh in terms of usefulness or appeal. Still a fun read though.

        It's a phenomenon that will last a couple weeks at least... and it's a way to meet those introvert girls who are normally at home.

        No reason not to make use of it.

        I'm around the same age as OP. I never played Pokemon anything because it was popular when I was too old. Nevertheless I am going to give this a try since I've been trying to date more younger women lately. I put the app on and set up my character in 15 minutes. I'll try playing it a little after work today.

        This guide seems to explain it well if you have no idea WTF it's all about or how to play.

        OMG There is no escape from Pokemon even here heh. I know tons of hot girls that play this and roam about town. It is actually quite genius for getting people mobile and socializing in person. Unless they listen to the petition us uncool Windows phone users are screwed. At least were not one of the hundreds of thousands of PGO players that mistakenly installed a root kit malware version instead of the real one and are getting data raped right now =)

        Yep, the social aspects of this game are rather amazing. Every time I'm out and about, I see people stopping, gathering, and talking just because they are there.

        It's a great opportunity to perform pick up or just to work on one's approach techniques.

        Likewise, I can confirm that people of all ages and demographics are playing the game in Jacksonville, FL.

        That's pretty funny, I was thinking since I installed this game it's distracted me from approaching women.

        Maybe it's because it hasn't been released in my country yet, but I haven't run into anybody playing it. Obviously I know other people are because they are taking over the gyms.

        I think video games are generally a turn-off. I don't think this is really an exception, it's not going to help your SMV, but I guess it may not hurt either depending on the girl.

        Really though. Took off my shirt, jumped on my Longboard and just went coasting down the street stopping off at parks, food places, pokestops, every single one had groups of 5-6 girls all sitting around their phones giggling and playing pokemon. The ice breaker is the game, your game is everything else. It's never been this easy to get a group of 4-5 girls to just follow you around from place to place building rapport and gathering numbers. The best part is that I'm actually enjoying playing the game and it doesn't eat away at my life, it ads value. I never thought I'd see the day.
