Don't overthink the container event
I get DMs about container events from people in MOA all the time and to be honest none of your circumstances are unique. Y'all are overthinking the container event. I do a container event atleast twice a week and sometimes I get invited to things that allow me to invite some of my friends so it's probably three times a week? While it has gotten a bit rough over the summer (see my most recent post), the fundamentals of the container event remain the same.
- Your container doesn't need to be glamorous. If you have enough compliance, you don't need to even offer any exceptional value except your mere presence ( as long as you are not competing with a bigger better deal). If you don't have enough compliance, well then keep reading.
- Everyone wants to hang out with the fun cool guy. How do you be the fun cool guy? For starters, get really good at break in rapport. Then use Instagram stories, group chats and preselection to drive FOMO. And then keep doing more and more.
- Use your champions! There is nothing better than a female champion. A female champion can help rally the troops better than you can. I am planning a comped event for next week and the whole event is being put together by a female champion. I am just keeping things focused, taking the pressure of her so she does not get overwhelmed with the logistics. This is something I still need to work more on before I can comment though, I have some nuances with female champions I need to figure out.
- Dont over think the invite you already have an open thread. Here are some quick tips:
- your invitation depends on your relationship. For some friends I would literally text "Don't make plans for Tuesday evening, we are going to blah blah. Should we invite XYZ I think she is cute" For others maybe I'll send an actual sentence. Sometimes I send a meme or use call-back humor and end with "come to XYZ tonight haven't seen you in a minute life is too peaceful" Conversion rates are pretty good as long as you understand the bigger better deals. Hard to compete with getting paid 1500 for the night just to look pretty at a nightclub if you are dumb enough to do a container Saturday night in summer in Las Vegas....
- if it's someone I met at an event and haven't hung out with in a more informal setting yet, I'll send 2-3 pictures of the previous container event of the same type with a simple single-sentence invite. the caveat is that I always mention the other girls who are going (typically these girls are close friends and very attractive).
5. Keep switching things up to actually have FOMO work in your favor. I don't recommend weekly containers - I've actually tried them and they work if you have a long list of friends but even I got bored of them. I now do a container every Wednesday but I keep switching up the value proposition. So it's still "weekly" but it's a new thing 50% of the time. Last week we went to a trampoline park
I think that's it for now. Containers have made a huge difference for me in terms of making actual friends and dating and are something you should be really leveraging to grow your network and form deeper friendships and start romantic relationships
