7 Ways to Bust Yourself Out of a Pick-up Slump
It happens to all of us sometime.
Your best lines fall flat.
Time Bridges get declined.
Phone numbers blur…
and, before you know it you’ve gone weeks without making the “Beast with Two Backs.”
You begin to sweat a little. “Shit, was the run just a bit of luck? Have I lost ‘IT’?”
No worries, man. Even top pro athletes go through slumps. Here’s what I’ve done in the past to bust myself out of pick-up slumps:
- 1. Take a bit of time off.
You may have depleted your mental and physical energy, especially if you’re doing the extremely hard club/bar scene. Irregular sleep patterns. Too many patron shots. Taking the girl to IHOP and stuffing yourself full of bacon, eggs and pancakes… and, then getting an hour of LMR. Get some sleep. Go outside during the day and rediscover what things look like when illuminated by the Sun.
- 2. Redo your stack.
I remember Sinn and I both being in a slump about the same time once. We instinctively began examining our status quo stacks and started dumping certain items and replacing them with other things that had worked in the past. After about an hour we both had fresh stacks, got a little rest, and went on a 5-day run of glory.
- 3. Kill a Sacred Cow.
You know that principle or idea of Gaming that you think is ‘The Truth.” ??? Kill it. Whatever it is, and do something else, maybe even the complete opposite. If your Sacred Cow is “Indirect” stop it for awhile and go Direct. If your Sacred Cow is I’ve got to be a bad boy, mix it up and dress like a good boy for a few nights. Mix it up. Kill the Sacred Cow, at least for a few days to see what happens. (I do this ‘Kill a Sacred Cow’ technique quite often.)
- 4. Have Someone You Trust (Who Actually Gets Laid) Give You Some Feedback.
The key in that phrase is ‘Who Actually Gets Laid.’ They might be able to spot something or simply ask you questions about what is going on that could jar you into something new/novel to try. Of course, if you don’t have someone in your life like that, you might resort to a tape recorder. (Come to think of it, you could do that anyway).
- 5. Use Sticking Point Analysis.
If you’ve read this blog for any amount of time you’re probably tired of hearing about it but it’s simplicity and effectiveness is proven. If you’re new here hit the “Youtube” button on the right hand side of the screen.
- 6. Go Freestyle.
Go out with No Agenda, No Stack and No Pressure. Just hang out. Talk to friends if they’re there. Talk to people if you want but be totally ok with just being there. If you get the sudden urge to Game do it, if not then chill. If you DO Game then don’t use your normal routine stack… just chat, get as far as you can with playful small talk and genuine interest.
- 7. Put Your Back Against the Wall
Anytime I’m working on SNL Game and I hit a slump the FIRST thing I do is delete all my female numbers. All of them, including FBs… no one is spared. NO ONE. Man, come to think of it I do this even when I’m not in a slump. This frees you up a bit. You can’t fall back on texting girls and trying to set up dates… you can’t booty text… it’s either get some new opportunities in a hurry or start stocking up on the vitamin E lotion.
Realize slumps don’t last forever. Try a few of these slump busters and you’ll get back in the groove.

That's funny
Great post CJ…I liked # 7 the best…pure GOLD. In fact, that's what I've been doing the last 6 months, using existing FB's to rationalize my lack of balls. But your post has cured me! I've just deleted ALL old numbers. Brilliant idea!
I have been in a slump for quite a while now (over a year) and I have basically tried all of these ideas. I am at a total loss to be honest.
Any ideas as to what to do if none of the above work beyond becoming a monk?
In a big slump right now…for about 3 months just having huge AA problems. No good.
I will redo my stack and kill the Sacred Cow( Dance game – i do too much of it).
Thanks for kicking ass CJ!!
One thing I like to do to get out of slumps is try to get “bad advice” to work. I will go out with the worst openers imaginable, for example, and see how I can present them to get it to work. You might be surprised that when you force yourself to calibrate more and convey who you truly are, you can often get “bad advice” to still work.
There are some things I am never able to get work, but in those cases I grow a deeper understanding of why it doesn't work.
Nice…I like!
My fave is “pull a pig”. Find the ugliest fattest chick you can and game her. Nearly always works even when my game has been rubbish as they have such low status (and you know it). It reminds you how it all works shows you what you are doing works and boosts your confidence. Plus you have a funny story to boot.
