7/26 Field Report from Sherlock's
Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 12:32 pmHad a great time at Sherlock's last night. Several other PUA's present and it was pretty target rich in there. Leonydas and I took turns winging each other and we opened several sets together. I want to talk about one of these sets and then hopefully get some feedback from you guys:
This took place in room where the band plays. The band was taking a break so it was wasn't super loud at the time. As we were walking in the room I saw a three set consisting of two 7.5 chicks and one who was a 5 at best. As we were walking by the set, I started arguing w/Leonydas about how I don't look like Conan O'Brian (I do kind of look like him). I turn to the set and tell them we need them to help settle a dispute for us. They all say sure. I then tell them that a few minutes ago at the bar, a group of girls told me that I looked like Conan O'Brian - that I think i don't, Leonydas thinks I do, and we need them to settle this once and for all. They all laugh and tell me that I look like Conan. I then start a discussion about whether or not this is a good thing -making the point that although its cool to look like a celebrity, Conan generally isn't considered that attractive of a guy. They respond that I don't look "exactly" like him, just similar. Then I say, "so what you're saying is that I'm basically a more attractive version of Conan?" They laugh and agree. By this point I've kino'd both of the 7.5s, and they're attention is completely on me.
It was time to cut the Conan thread, so I asked them if I could get their opinion on something. As I was doing this, Leonydas graciously went with the 5 to the bar so it was just me and the 7.5's. They walked off, and I asked them if they would read their boyfriend's email they thought he was cheating, they laugh, then respond, and I proceed to tell them about my friend who thought his gf was cheating, so he hired some guys in China to hack her email password, reads her email, and confirms the cheating. I say either way my bud is kinda screwed, b/c if he breaks up w/her out of the blue that will look really weird, and if he tells her about the email he'll look like a total creeper and she'll just turn it back on him. I then point to the one I've selected as my target and say, that's totally something you would do. She acts shocked and I give her a hug. By now these chicks were totally eating it up.
So then we move into normal conversation, talking about where we went to college and what we all do. My target was a teacher, so I told a funny story about when I used to substitute teach. By now, Leo is back but he has the 5 pretty much isolated.
I opened this set with a lot of fun energy and maintained it pretty well up to this point, but as we were bullshitting in normal conversation, I felt that energy start to fizzle down. I was hoping that the band would kick back up so I take those two chicas out to the dance floor, but it didn't. The 5 announces that she's going to the bathroom and my targets go along with them. We do some brief hugs, I say we'll catch up w/them later, and that was it.
So later that night I see the 7.5 who was not my target sitting at a table with another chick and two dudes who looked like they were trying to pick them up. The 7.5 wasn't too engaged in that convo, so I wadded up a piece of napkin and threw it at her. She saw it was me, laughed a little bit, and I started talking to her again. I number closed her by telling her that me and some friends were going dancing next week and that her and her friend should totally join us. So she gives me the number. I easily closed the number, but still, the energy and chemistry that was there when I initially approached was greatly diminished.
I closed the number, but I walked away feeling pretty dissatisfied, and thinking I could have handled the situation better. Any of you guys care to share your thoughts on this?
