So, I actually read your post when I got home last night, and had a really good tough-love, shut-the-hell-up-and-get-back-out-there response queued up (that I refused to submit until morning, when I could read it sober and approve of)....but the jist of it was for you to take your own advice and learn from the shitty nights rather than sit on them and get pissed.
Thats 100x more productive.
....but by the time I re-read things today, it seemed like you had already acknowledged that as the case (plus my response quoted yours), so I scrapped my reply.

3.) Shit tests. I don't have much experience with them but for some reason all the girls last night were shit testing me to hell and high water.
They were trying to screen out the "player" guys, in retrospect.

As far as that goes....holy shit, did you hear/remember that damn brunette at the end of the night dig into me for a good 10 mins?
Even with you winging and chattin up the short blonde friend, I still couldn't believe I was able to isolate and # her.
She was probably a 7...maybe 7.5, but I honestly just wanted to see if I could do it.
(I think PC challenged me to open that set saying no one else had pulled it yet...I went into fuck-it mode and just figured I'd give it a try)
You're totally right about the screening out the 'player' guys stuff. Almost everything she said was an attempt to call me out on trying to pick her up.
Me: "So are you gunna tell me your name?"
Her: "My name is Bertha"
Me: "Bertha? Hahaha, nice...please I think I need to see some ID"
Her: "What?? I don't have to justify myself to you...I dont know you...."
(blah blah blah)
Seriously, I'm completely amazed at myself right now for pulling past that....I didn't think I had it in me.
Though, I have to admit that PC's challenge had something to do with it....I do my best under moderate pressure.
The biggest thing that got me through all of it was not letting any of it phase me and this line right here (which I think I turned to you and said so that she could hear me):
"Man, she's feisty! I think she likes me....we might like each other a little bit...I dunno"
This is one of the best examples that I can remember where I wasn't in my own head analyzing what I was doing....I just said that cause it seemed to fit the flow and teased her playfully.
It was amazing to see her attitude change after that.
But lastly, Grimm, I've got to commend you on that excessively badass comment you made to my mohawk friend at the end of the night...right to his face.
Haha! He needed putting into his place (he was pretty drunk too), and you did just that.
My respect for you rose a good 2 points right then and there.
All in all, I actually had a fairly good night...but I couldn't have been nearly as hammered as you guys.
