Daygame Statistics
If there’s one thing that killed my guesswork, it was tracking numbers. “Work harder” is vague; “do 12 calibrated approaches this Saturday and get 2 solid numbers” is concrete. Daygame statistics turn a fuzzy social skill into something you can actually improve. When I started logging my sessions like a gym programme—warm-up sets, working sets, cool-down—my results stopped swinging wildly and started trending up. Whether you come from the daygame PUA world or you’re building your own style from scratch, the numbers give you a clean feedback loop. I’ve even compared month-by-month ratios on a daygame forum to double-check my progress and spot patterns I might miss alone.
Why Track At All?
Most guys judge a session by vibes: one awkward moment and the whole day feels like a loss. I used to do that too. Then I saw how misleading my memory was. A session that felt bad still had one high-quality conversation and a follow-up date. A session that felt amazing? Five surface-level chats and zero momentum. Data doesn’t lie; it shows where you’re actually bottlenecked so you can apply common sense and fix the right thing.
The Core Funnel
Daygame is like a simple funnel. Keep it tight, keep it honest, and you’ll learn quickly.
Spots Scouted (SS) – Locations you actively chose to run (high footfall, good waiting areas, low noise).
Opportunities Seen (OS) – Potential sets you noticed and could have opened.
Approaches (A) – Times you actually stopped and spoke.
Hooks (H) – Moments she engages for 30–60+ seconds (eye contact, questions back, relaxed body language).
Numbers/IGs (N) – Solid contact details, exchanged with ease (no forced compliance).
Replies (R) – Responses to your first message.
Dates Set (DS) – Plans agreed with a time and place.
Show-Ups (S) – She arrives, you arrive, the plan happens.
Second Dates (D2) – Momentum beyond the first meeting.
That’s it—no need for a thousand micro-metrics at the start. You can expand later.
Useful Ratios
Approach Rate: A/hour. If it’s under 2 for long stretches, you’re filtering too hard or overthinking. Raise it with a 15-minute “warm-up rule” (two easy conversations to grease the wheels).
Hook Rate: H / A. This tells you how calibrated your open and early vibe are. If it’s low, tweak your opener timing, volume, and distance—simple, common sense adjustments.
Contact Rate: N / H. If this is low, you’re not leading logistics. Practise a single transition line like, “This was fun—swap details and continue over coffee another day.”
Reply Rate: R / N. Weak replies usually mean lukewarm interactions or poor first texts. Send something that references the moment you shared, not a bland “hey”.
Set-to-Date Rate: DS / A. The real North Star. If this inchworm moves upward over a month, everything’s improving.
Show-Up Rate: S / DS. Low? Your plans are too vague, too far away, or scheduled at dead times. Tighten the calendar and pick venues with obvious meeting points.
What Are “Good” Numbers?
Benchmarks depend on the city, season, and your mood that day. I treat these as broad, not gospel:
Approach Rate: 3–6 per hour in a target-rich area.
Hook Rate: 30–50% as a growing intermediate; 50–70% when you’re really tuned in.
Contact Rate: 40–70% of hooks.
Reply Rate: 50–80% of contacts (same day or next morning helps).
Set-to-Date: 10–25% of approaches.
Show-Up: 60–85% of dates set.
If you’re far below one metric while others are fine, that’s the bottleneck to fix. For example, great hooks but poor contacts? You’re not leading. Good contacts but weak replies? Your first text lacks a callback to the moment you shared.
How I Log A Session (Fast)
I keep it stupidly simple:
Before: Note the time, areas I’ll work, and a minimum approach target.
During: Tally marks for A, H, N in my notes app. Quick tags like “bookshop / direct / time-pressed”.
After: Add R, DS, and S across the week, then review every Sunday.
Turning Stats Into Skills
Low Hook Rate? You’re opening too fast, too close, or too loud. Adjust your angle and pause for a half-second before speaking. Calibrated timing beats fancy lines.
Low Contact Rate From Hooks? Practise a single, confident close. Don’t waffle. “Let’s swap details and continue this over a short coffee another day”, said with a smile, and relaxed silence works.
Great Replies, But Few Dates Set? Your logistics message is tentative. Offer two times, one venue, keep it light.
High Flake On The Day? Confirm with a breezy, specific message a few hours prior, and pick landmarks that are impossible to miss.
Seasonality And City Swings
Numbers breathe. Summer afternoons spike OS, and rainy weekdays dip everything. University terms, tourist waves, local events—all swing the funnel. That’s why I track month-to-month medians instead of obsessing over one odd weekend.
The Confidence Flywheel
Daygame approach anxiety is real, but data reduces it. When I can see that 4–5 clean approaches usually produce one strong lead, I don’t spiral after a flat interaction. I move to the next rep. The confidence flywheel looks like this:
Track → See small wins → Tweak one variable → Get a better ratio → Believe more → Approach more → Repeat.
A 30-Day Challenge (Numbers-First)
Week 1: Minimum 30 approaches total. Don’t optimise—get the reps and log A and H.
Week 2: Add N and R. Practise one close line; refine your first text.
Week 3: Add DS. Sharpen logistics. Two-time options. One venue.
Week 4: Add S. Optimise show-ups with clear, nearby plans.
At the end, graph your H/A and DS/A. If both rise even a little, you’ve answered the big question: Does daygame work for you when you act on numbers? Yes, because you can see it.
Common Mistakes The Numbers Expose
Overscreening: Waiting for the “perfect” moment tanks A/hour. Say hi sooner.
Overtalking: Long monologues kill H. Ask one simple question, let her invest.
Underleading: Great vibe, no logistics. If it flows, steer to the exchange.
Text Lag: Waiting days to message crushes R. Same day or next morning wins.
Vague Plans: “Sometime next week” melts DS and S. Choose time and place.
Final Word
I don’t chase perfection; I chase trendlines. When the ratios slip, I make one calibrated change and test for seven days. When they climb, I double down. Daygame statistics aren’t about turning you into a robot—they’re about giving your social instincts a dashboard. Track the funnel, apply common sense tweaks, and your results stop being mysterious. They start being repeatable.
