1) Drinking will only interfere with the development of your game. While it allows for temporary confidence, it will get you off-track once you sober up. It's difficult to make the transition back to being sober and self-confident. It also decreases your testosterone level which I've found to noticeably affect my sex drive. You're also attracting girls to a person that is not you in reality which makes it difficult if they want to hook up again. You will feel obliged to drink again to project the same confidence you did a few days ago when you met them. This results in you becoming dependent on alcohol to be outgoing which is an unattractive trait to females...and they will notice after a few times.
The majority of guys I know can be described by the preceding paragraph. It's difficult for me as well since I have good luck when drunk. I hooked up with three different girls last weekend...all with the help of alcohol. But, any guy can get drunk and talk to girls...we need to separate ourselves from the rest to truly have skill.
Nothing is going to replace unrehearsed cold approaches. This is vital to the game. Start with less intimidating females at first if necessary. It will feel awkward and you will say stupid shit in the beginning but you will eventually become more comfortable.
I figured I'd throw some advice and personal opinions out there in an attempt to help other beginners with some basic realizations that helped me. Your mileage may vary.
2) Try to maintain a positive facial expression at all times. I naturally have a depressed look on my face. I'm not a negative person, but I just don't tend to smile often. When I do have a smile on my face when talking or approaching girls, I get a completely different response that is almost always positive. I remember reading the eye contact experiments where it's recommended to not smile unless she does. I disagree with this. I've never gotten a good response doing this. Lately, if I'm walking by a girl who has locked eyes on me, I'll smile while holding eye contact and may say something short like "hi". They'll almost always smile back and even blush sometimes. This makes it much easier to approach, as well.
3) Ignore canned material. I seriously have no idea who this works for. I see other guys using it in clubs and bars and it almost always fails. It's just going to sound awkward unless you are really smooth with the delivery to make it seem like a natural conversation. And, if you are that smooth, you wouldn't be recycling material from other PUAs.
4) Go to the gym regularly. It allows for constant improvement physically and mentally. This has helped me immensely.
That's all I can think of. Hope it helps someone.
