Hostile Climate Tactic
Posted: Wed Dec 09, 2009 1:51 pm
Well, the weather has changed and last night my heater went out (which it seems to do every fucking year even though it's basically brand new). Anyway, it got me thinking about a tactic that I inadvertently stumbled upon.
I call it the Hostile Climate Tactic.
This tactic can really only be used during the dead of Winter or during the middle of the Summer. It has got to be either so cold that having your heater on is a necessity or so hot that having your AC on is required.
Here's how it works:
You met a girl for a day2, I've even been able to successfully run this during an SNL. What you do is wait for an opportunity to talk about how hot or cold it is outside. You can accomplish this when you venue bounce, go outside for a smoke, even try to isolate her outside during crappy weather, or if she happens to bring it up. I've even gone as far as saying, "jesus you can tell it's freezing out there...everyone's bundled up in their cute little coats...makes you wonder if everyone's mom called and told them to throw on a coat before they left the house."
That's the first step, get it to come up in conversation. The second step is a hybrid of a funny story and a DHV.
HB: "It's freezing/hot outside."
Bull Run: "I know right...my fucking heater/AC went out the other day, my house is a damn freezer/oven."
HB: "Your heat/AC went out? When are you going to get it fixed?"
Bull Run: "Well, I'm pretty handy with tools and am somewhat mechanically inclined (two DHVs), so in all of my infinite wisdom I decided to grab the instructions to the unit and trek up to the attic and fix it myself. I actually used to do it when I was a kid growing up because I came from a single parent family and we were poor. So, I haul all of my tools and the instructions to the unit up to the attic and I realize that I grabbed the instructions that were written in what looked like Swahili..."
HB: Usually they're laughing by now.
Bull Run: "Yeah, yuck it up. Anyway, in all of my infinite wisdom I decided to just look at the pictures and work off of them. Yeah, bad idea...I think I fucked it up more than it already was screwed up. Now, I have to get a technician out there to check it out and I know he's going to ask what I did to it...and, I'm going to have to lie because that's what men do when we've tinkered with something and made it worse."
Anyway, the HB will probably laugh at story because it's pretty funny and very stereotypical which she'll enjoy. And, there are a couple of threads that the story can lead you:
1) Usually they'll ask where you live, which means you can ask the same. If you live some place cool, this is a great chance to DHV.
2) Sometimes they'll say that they think it's hot that you're Mister Fix-it...or at least try to be
3) Sometimes, for me at least, they'll ask about my childhood (remember I slipped in some historical facts about my life during the story)
4) Sometimes, they'll blantantly ask you where you're going to stay tonight (to which you always respond...depends, if it's too cold/hot I'll just sleep in the car, then shoot her a wink and smile)
Now comes for the good part. I would say 7 times out of 10, they'll ask you if your heat/AC is really out. To which you'll respond, yes. Then, they'll offer for you to come over to her place so you don't have to be uncomfortable all night. They'll do this for two reasons: 1) they like to nurture and take care of people AND 2) they want you to come over but don't want to appear like a whore.
When they offer, I always say: "Well, I'm the guest so you're going to have give up your bed and sleep on the couch..."
By saying this, you've diffused the idea that you think that sex will occur (which it absolutely will). And, this is the key here, as it usually is with women. If she invites you over, it's for the purpose of making you feel more comfortable and taking care of you, not sex. If you accept, you have to reinforce that idea and make it clear that you don't plan to have sex with her. Of course, do it in a cocky and funny way.
I've actually run this tactic 2 or 3 times when it was legit (i.e. my shit really was broken). I've also run this tactic 5 or 6 other times when it was not legit. Either way, it'll work and she'll never really know. Just be sure to mention to her in the future, if you see her again, that you got your shit fixed and that the technician didn't believe you when you said you didn't tinker with it. It completes the joke and makes the entire story seem legit.
Understand, that this technique is to always be run when you've been in comfort for a while. And, I've found that it's a very powerful tactic to get girls that you've met online to invite you to their place on your first face-to-face meeting.
Finally, yes, this is gimmicky but it has worked for me in the past and it's a very innocuous, innocent way to get back to their house without the girl believing that you're going purely for sex.
