Niceguy's Breakdown...
-Sets opened nonstop.
-Kissed a Chubby at 1130pm.
-Disgusted, found HB8KickboxYoga - Recovered with a Cold Approach, Same Night Lay.
--------
I get a call from Lucky31337 at around 2pm. We're going to Atrium.
Fantastic. I started writing down routines/lines I would work on and my goals for the evening.
At this time, I'm either coming up with lines by myself or adapting popularized ones to more comfortable verbiage. Here's just a small sample of lines and routines I wrote out. In actuality, I had 2 printed pages full of things I made up and throughout the day.
Lines/Routines:
Made up
-(To obstacles/taken girls) We're like..best friends by now, right? Why aren't you helping me get with the single girls?
-You look like a shy girl that has this naughty side to you. You're probably one of those chocolate truffles...with the shape of a heart or something. This sweet exterior saying, "Oo, I'm so nice and sweet! Take a big bite! I'm just in innocent piece of chocolate. (make innocent face)" Then they dive in and are welcomed by this karate kick center. I'm afraid to see what's inside your closet...
Adapted
-You have the cutest little nose gesture when you laugh. It wiggles and I want to pet it and say hello. (Pet) Hello little nose!
-Stop making me want to kiss you...
-You're a little heartbreaker, aren't you?
Goals:
-Attempt 30+ sets.
-Catch and Release sets. (This is to desensitize myself with outcome dependence. I just want to drop a few lines/banter and move on)
-Have a New Years Countdown makeout. (The only outcome dependent one on my list. Usually this kind of thing doesn't make the goals list)
The plan is, to write these down on a piece of paper. Before I enter the venue, I look them over, fold up the paper, and put it in my back pocket. I believe this is what Style used to do.
I've been doing it lately and I've been seeing progress.
--------
I fly over to Atrium and Lucky31337 meets me at the side gate with security guard escort.
Lucky: This is the last one in our group.
Security Guard: Alright, you can pass through here.
Lucky's bringing in some great connections. I was able to skip a line that was 20 people wide and stretched across the entire side of the building. I'd say roughly 1200 people in line at 8pm, with more adding to it by the minute.
Inside are Showcase and Joker. (Unfortunately, J The Ripper, Interkurse, and Siren could not join us. I heard they had a kickass time in Downtown FUllerton) We meet the promoter who leads us to a hotel room with about 6 HBs (They're a mix of HB7.5 - 9.5's) and around 4 guys. We get our pre-party on and then head down to the main event.
We're ready to tear this place apart.
The place is generously packed. I honestly opened roughly 35-40 sets, with 1 set Isolated for 2 hours. Guys, girls, mixed. It really did not matter. Obviously, I will not go into detail about every set! I will go over the ones I remember.

The Funny set.
2 HBs by the food table. I open one and she's not really fun, so I change over to the other.
niceguy: (shakes her hand) You're in business aren't you. Some sort of management type of position.
HBbusiness: Yes...
niceguy: Awesome. (My first success at a cold read.)
I spin her around a few times, she's liking it. We also come up with some random ass handshake on the fly. Then I introduce Joker and they find a commonality - something to do with computer networks/techie stuff. I was lost in their convo, so I chatted up Showcase, while they were vibing on nerd talk
I get her attention again and ask her how she handles clients and associates of other ethnic backgrounds. So, I thought I would teach her a silly ass handshake. She messed up in following directions several times, so those were easy negs to drop. Finally she got it, and I said..
niceguy: The finale is the C-Walk. It always breaks the ice.
It was funny watching an early 30's professional businesswoman attempting the Crypt Walk.
--
The WOOPSIE Set.
I open a mixed 2 set. Short Filipino guy and HB8 with a crazy design on her shirt like those optical illusion posters from Magic Eye.
niceguy: You guys...I have a confession.
Set: What's going on man?
niceguy: You two...have got some badass style. (Point at guy) Shit, you man...You wear a suit and Jordan's. That's pro as hell. (Point at girl) And you...have this crazy cool dress out of Magic Eye. It's got a hidden picture in it or something.
Set: HAHA
I was in. We vibed immediately. Pulled in Joker and we were 4 people having a good ass time.
niceguy: WE ARE THE PARTY. Shoot, the very next people who walk by, I'm going to pull them in and have them join our party.
2 seconds later, I see two guys.
niceguy: You two fellas. Welcome to the party....I'd like to introduce you to my girlfriend..
tallwhiteguy: Umm, no dude. This is my girlfriend.
HB8magiceye: Yeah, this is my boyfriend.
If you've seen Keys to the VIP, this is where the panel judges would stop the clip and zoom in on my face.
Judges: OHHHHH! Check out that look.
Then the NLP practitioner judge would say something witty, football related, and obviously scripted line like,
NLP Dude: He rushes through the open hole, cuts to the left, down the stretch, and then "Collect Call..." Hello... "Turns out, the baby's yours!"
niceguy: Damn, this is embarrassing. Look bro, I apologize, we're all just playing. (My personal flavor isn't to game a girl behind her dudes back. Even worse to have him right there, still in set. I don't worry about DHV or DLV with apologies in these types of situations.)
tallwhiteguy: Haha, bro. Don't even worry about it.
Ugh. What are the chances anyways?
--
The Creepy Set.
While coming out of the bathroom, I saw 2 cute/tiny Mexican chicks.
niceguy: You two. Bring it in. (Motioned for them to come over for a group hug.)
Set: Yes??!
I identified my target as the cuter of the two. HB9 had a Hot Topic type of look to her. Her obstacle friend was HB8shorty
niceguy: (Dropped Jiant J's line.)
Set: Haha. Yes
niceguy: You (HB8shorty) are way too cute, but are you nice?
HB8shorty: Yes!
niceguy: And...Your friend here...I get this Hot Topic vibe from her.
HB9hottopic: Hot Topic?? Ew, I would never be like that.
niceguy: Those guys have a cool look. Not like some kind of washed up bum. More of a stylish, I don't give in to Mama's Rules look.
HB9hottopic: Yeah!
We vibed for a bit, then I drop my failsafe line whenever I am exiting a set. I don't say, "Well, it was nice to meet you." I say..
niceguy: I tell you what. I gotta go find my friends. Later on, I'll see you on the dance floor, and you're in trouble, missy!
This has been a cleaner good-bye for me, and I use it regularly.
I leave the set and like a creeper who wanted more, she opened me at least another 4 times throughout the night. It was cute the first couple times, but by the 3rd and 4th, she seemed needy. HB9hottopic dropped to HB3needy
--
The 'Why Did I Kiss Her?' Set.
It's around 11:30, and the countdown is coming. I've had some fun interactions up until now, but no closes. Whatever.
I meet up with Joker and Showcase. We fly into a 3 set (HB8tallblack, HB5chubby, and HBiforgetwhosheis) We all isolate rather quickly. I believe Showcase was on HB8tallblack and Joker was on HBiforgetwhosheis.
I opened, and I'm with the fatty. LOL. Oh well, it's all practice.
niceguy: You're causing tons of trouble tonight, aren't you.
HB5chubby: LOL yes.
niceguy: You're probably waiting to makeout with a boy at midnight.
HB5chubby: Haha.
niceguy: Why wait? (Instantly went in for the kill)
HB5chubby: Omg! Guys! (Addressing whole set) That was my first time kissing an Asian boy. Omg. (to me) You're my first.
I thought, "Hey, what do I have to lose?" After the makeout, I realized, "Oh yeah...how could I forget? My Dignity! That's what I just lost..."
I digress.
She wanted more of the Korean lovin, but after snapping back to reality, I had to become her phantom. Leave her wanting more.
--
The Extra Innings Recovery Set.
I jet to the bathroom with about 10 minutes to spare before the countdown.
The line is moving slowly, and as soon as I did a lightning round with the stall, I washed my hands and heard
Outside Patio: Three..Two..One..Happy New Year!!
So my countdown was spent inside a restroom. Not exactly one of the goals, but whatever.
5 minutes after 12, I roll around to a mixed 5set (3 girls, 2 guys)
niceguy: (Claw) You...fit perfectly into my arm.
HB8kickboxyoga: Haha
niceguy: (To her 4 friends) Did this girl get her New Years kiss?
Set: Nooo!
Without hesitation, I commence Caveman mode, tilt her backwards, and makeout. Her friends are speechless and I snap them out of it.
niceguy: Don't just stand there and watch! We need our alone time.
Girls: Lets take pictures!
3 pictures later, I bounce her to the bar and she wants to buy me a drink. She's holding my hand and some dude comes to open her. She talks with him, so I decide to build jealousy plotlines all night and Push/Pull.
While holding her hand, I turn around and engage 3 set HB9+'s.
niceguy: You guys are too cute.
Set: Thanks!
niceguy: (Points at HB9.5) You... Will you go out with me?
Now, she isn't a target, I'm merely entertaining to build a jealousy plot with my kickboxing, yoga chick. The way I did this was like a complete 5th grader. I said it kinda whiny, with hands in my pocket, while looking at the floor, and twisting my foot nervously.
I broke that role play and without pause, I looked up with a huge confident smile on my face.
Set: LOL
HB9.5: I like your necklace. (She starts playing with it)
HB8kickboxyoga: (Hands me my beer)
niceguy: You three. Dance floor. Later. You're in trouble.
Set: Okay! See you there!
I take HB8kickboxyoga to the dance floor. It's house music and we do it up for 40 minutes or so in there. Pull in by spinning her towards me. Kiss, then push off. Pull in again, and continue. Occasionally, I would push her off and start dancing with HBs around me, then back to her.
We roll to the bar and she buys me another drink. We go into the hip hop room and continue. I compliment at least 5 sets as I'm walking by with her. We get in and dance for another 30-40 minutes. Same deal, this time, I couldn't push her away as often because she stuck to me like a fly on a fresh Cleveland Steamer.
The lights turn on and she checks her phone. Lo and behold, 5 texts from her friends. They've been waiting at the car. I tell her of an afterparty a few people have invited me to inside the hotel. She wants to go.
We get to the car and hop in. They were my best friends 2 hours ago, and now they HATE me. LOL. It was a very awkward ride to my car. There was no talking. Haha.
She and I get to my car and roll to her hotel 3 miles away. She's visiting from San Francisco and is leaving in a few days. She goes up and says she needs to grab a few things. 20 minutes later, she has ALL of her stuff. Luggage, jackets, extra shoes, everything. Loads it into my car and says..
HB8kickboxyoga: My friends are just worried about me..
niceguy: That you're gonna go hang out with the coolest guy you've ever met (Points at self - my first time using NLP. lol)
HB8kickboxyoga: Yeah. I don't want to stay there anyways. My two girls are with their boys, and there are two queen beds. I don't want to sleep on a rollaway.
Girls' logic for going home with a guy is at play.
We go back to Atrium and the place is a ghost town. Apparently cops ran through the place and restricted all after parties.
niceguy: I have this awesome movie. We'll watch it at my place.
HB8kickboxyoga: Yeah...sounds good.
Girls' logic for going home with a guy is at play again.
Got home and she wanted some alcohol, so I gave her straight Captain Morgan. No mention of the movie as she went to the bedroom. Fclose 2 rounds until 8am.
My sleeping schedule is fuxed =(
-------------
Goals:
-Attempt 30+ sets. Success
-Catch and Release sets. Success
-Have a New Years Countdown makeout. Failed
I guess a SNL makes up for the countdown makeout.
