	== ~~House mapping~~ ==		== What the venue gives you ==
	~~The blog~~'~~s working claims~~, in ~~Girls Chase language:~~		* '''Commentable appearance.''' Real [[peacocking]]: a costume people can name, that fits, that you put work into. Fashion fundamental with a plot. Premade Amazon kits and cereal-box jokes do not do this job.
			* '''Warm spaces.''' Lines, meetups, panels, tables. You can enter a shared situation instead of a sidewalk stop. That is still an approach. Complimenting the wig and walking is [[spam approaching]].
			* '''[[Social proof]].''' A crew that is actually having a night. Wandering the floor alone and hungry is the opposite signal.
			* '''Logistics on site.''' A room in or on the con. Distance kills the [[bounce]]. Locals still want the room because ''her'' logistics are at the con, not across town at your apartment.

	~~{\| class~~=~~"wikitable"~~		== How you open ==

	\|-
	~~\| Wear real cosplay, fit, recognizable, effort \|\| Fashion fundamental / [[peacocking]]. The costume is the commentable object so the room can~~ open ~~you~~

	\|-
	~~\| Hotel in or on the con \|\| [[Logistics (seduction)\|Logistics]] / [[isolation]]. Distance kills the bounce. Locals still benefit from a room because ''her'' logistics are at the con~~, ~~not at your apartment across town~~

An '''anime convention''' is a dense, costumed, multi-day gathering. The Wingman blog treats the large "party cons" as a carnival: strangers talk, [[peacocking]] is the dress code, and [[logistics (seduction)|logistics]] decide whether anything completes. This wiki's gold standard is still [[Girls Chase]] / [[Skilled Seducer]]: you still have to [[approach]], [[calibration]] still beats a script, a no is a no. The con only changes the ''venue''.

Live essay: [https://wingman.live/blog/how-to-get-laid-at-an-anime-convention How to Get Laid at an Anime Convention] (Feb 2024). First-party Wingman copy, rewritten here as encyclopedia. Product CTAs stripped.

== House mapping ==
The blog's working claims, in Girls Chase language:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Blog move !! House term
|-
| If you cannot get laid in ordinary life, the con will not save you || [[Attractiveness fundamentals]] + [[Newbie assignment]] first; venue is not a cheat code
|-
| Pick a party con (multi-day, official dance, 18+/21+, large) || Venue selection. Same job as Newbie-assignment day 1
|-
| Wear real cosplay, fit, recognizable, effort || Fashion fundamental / [[peacocking]]. The costume is the commentable object so the room can open you
|-
| Come with a crew that is actually fun || [[Social proof]]; [[wingman (pickup)|wing]]
|-
| Hotel in or on the con || [[Logistics (seduction)|Logistics]] / [[isolation]]. Distance kills the bounce. Locals still benefit from a room because ''her'' logistics are at the con, not at your apartment across town
|-
| Itinerary: panels, lines, meetups, not wandering || Have a plan. Outcome independence is not aimlessness
|-
| Talk to men and women; bring value; give people outs || Do not make one girl the whole night. [[Abundance mentality]]. Clingy is the con's default [[DLV]]
|-
| Slow approach in lines/tables vs three-second open || Warm venue vs [[cold approach]]. Both are approaches. Spam-complimenting cosplay and walking is [[spam approaching]]
|-
| Fun first, laid second || [[Outcome independence]]. Chase: the guy who needs this particular girl wrecks the set
|}

== Slow approach vs just talking ==
The blog splits daytime con flirting into:

# '''Slow approach''' — enter a legitimate shared space (line, table, meetup), settle, talk about the situation, ask about the costume without an interrogation, give an out, invite to the crew, then [[escalation|escalate]] only if she stays. This is house-party / festival game, not Mystery club openers.
# '''Three-second open''' — see her, walk up, talk. Same as [[direct game]] with a cosplay hook. Complimenting the costume is the bare minimum; the conversation has to become specific.

Either path ends in Instagram ''or'' joining a crew, often both. [[IOI]]s listed in the essay (preening the wig, laugh, lean-in, eyes, asking to hang) are the usual list. The blog's extra warning: nerdy shyness can look like an [[IOD]]. Back off, give an out, see if she stays. Relieved when you leave = you were overbearing. Still there = continue.

== What the encyclopedia does not copy ==
* Operational alcohol-smuggling. Venue rules vary; "bring value" is the usable claim.
* Treating a partnered woman as default fair game. Ask once, clearly; if it is not an open arrangement, stop.
* Tinder-at-the-con as the plan. The essay itself says apps are a supermajority of men and a crutch.

== Failure modes ==
* No cosplay, no crew, no hotel, wandering the floor looking hungry.
* Making her the center of the weekend on contact ([[one-itis]] in a wig).
* Not taking no. Distinguishing yourself from the con's incompetent suitors ''is'' the game.
* Using the con as a substitute for ordinary skill. The first line of the essay is the house line.
