I think I did pretty well, I opened up 13 sets each night (26 total), and I had my buddy with me, and I schooled him on some of the Mystery Method on the way up there, kind of let him on the club a little bit. He loved it.
The Good
I opened up sets very gracefully, I don't have a problem talking to to people. I was able to get (most) girls to qualify herself to me. I was able to demonstrate social proof -- at one point -- I felt like the entire bar was mine. My body language was that of a sexual tiger. I was able to get a girl (Ugly Bitch 5...tops) to bounce with me to another venue within 1 minute (she brought her friends, Ugly Bitch 3 and Ugly Bitch 4) . Quickly pawned them off on some loser.
In my second set, some chicks bought ME a drink! *at the bar* Me: "No cutting!" HB6 "There's not really a line" Me: "We'll there's a flow, and you're messing it up!" HB6 "Well let me buy you a drink for messing up your flow"
I had a lot of spontaneous and situational openers come up and all but 1 worked well.
My opener was pretty on point --
Me: "Do you think Ke$ha is hot?"
HB: blah blah blah "I don't know who she is", "Yes", "In a weird way", "No"
Me: "Well my buddy just started dating this girl and I told him that she looked like Ke$ha and walked off... well I ended up finding out he took it as an insult and now hates my guts. I tried to explain to him that I think Ke$ha is hot, but he won't have anything to do with me. Should I apologize to my buddy ?
HB: blah blah blah
Another routine I had pretty good success with (but some bad) is that I told girls I was a professional kite flyer ("But, we call it "Tearin' up the Sky") . They almost never believed me, but were intrigued, half of them busted out their iPhones and looked up professional kite flying to see if it was really a sport. (It is!) This lead to further jokes as "Have you ever been with a professional athlete?" and "I'll write you a poem in the sky with my kite and a smoke bomb!"
I talked to everybody, never spent more than 3-5 minutes without a girl around me the entire night. Even talking to sets on the street.
Was able to read body language, and observe groups and group behavior.
The Bad
On the first night, I spent wayyy too long on the set that bought me a drink, not at first, but we bumped into them at another bar and spent too much time talking. I also did this set entirely over the shoulder.
I had no clue or flow from A1, A2, A3 etc , recognized few IOI's , skipped a lot of steps. Never did any kino -- AT ALL. I didn't stack the first night , second night was better on stacking. I did great at the opener, but never did much past that. I could never really build attraction, DHV or anything like that. Just pretty good on the openers, and stack on them. Never really go to the social hook point I thought.
I never approached the group, only my target.
*After walking up a long flight of stairs to the rooftop balcony and finding it dark, and mostly full of dudes and empty*
Me: (Over the shoulder) Man, you think after a hike like that you would expect this roof top to be all sorts of fun!
HB 7.5 : "I KNOW RIGHT!"
Me: "So who are you hear with?" (I think I said this, it wasn't too original)
HB 7.5 : "Um, my friends *points to friends*
Me: "You're boring me, I'm going to walk around"
HB 7.5: says something that really doesnt matter, or I dont remember
*I go looking for sets to run, no sets, come back 5 mins later*
Me : "You're STILL here?"
HB 7.5 : "Yup"
Me : ""You don't have anything better to do?"
HB 7.5 : "Nope"
Me: "You're boring me, other than your looks what do you have going on for you?"
HB 7.5: "All this *points to her body*"
Me: "We've acknowledged your beauty, I said OTHER THAN your looks what do you have going on for yourself? We're in Texas, beauty is common"
HB 7.5 : "Well I go school, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda"
Me: Okay your boring me, I'm leaving"
HB 7.5 promptly "boxes me out" basketball style SHUT DOWN
****NO IDEA WHY I SAID THAT, I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO***
The Ugly
I got shut down twice, and one was pretty bad, the other one wasn't bad, but it was a lesson.
*At the bar and there was a 40th birthday party going on, with a life-size poster of Edward Cullen (from Twilight) I walk behind a HB8 surrounded by 2 other HB8
Me: (over the shoulder) *tap her real quick* "Do you think I have a shot with Edward?"
HB 8: "What?"
Me : "Edward, from Twilight, he's over there"
HB 8 : *looks at me like I'm crazy*
Me: "What would you say to get a guy like that?"
HB 8: "What?? Nice meeting you" *taps me on shoulder as she turns away* BOOM BLOWOUT SON!!!
Fuck it, didn't phase me, on to the next set. I could hear Mystery in the back of my head "STICK TO THE MATERIAL!"
The second one went like this
*Drunk HB 4 bumps into me*
Me : Excuse me I'm walking here (smiling)
HB5 (her friend) : YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RUDE ASSHOLE
Me, to HB4 who bumped into me "Is she always like this? How do you go out with her?"
HB5 : "OH YEAH YOU JUST GO ON LIVING LIFE, YOUR A GREAT GUY, JUST GO ON LIVING LIFE"
BOOM BLOWOUT SON! They all leave.
Overall
Overall , it was a fucking blast , even getting blown up like that. I would have loved to had to had more success, but it was a learning experience.
Questions
1) I never really picked a target, I don't want to overly scope out the set cuz I don't want them to catch me checking them out-- tips?
2) What are your thoughts on my bolded interactions? (Mostly the bad ones)
3) Why am I not building attraction, or am I, but am I not noticing it?
4) What do I do if a bitch just starts talking too damn much?
5) How can I better streamline my approach?
Thank you in advance!
