| FR12 - Downtown SF, Sat night
Location: Downtown San Francisco bars
Objective: Get acquainted with other PUAs, practice opening and some routines
Outcome: 2 # closes
This was to be a 4-man operation with guys from this forum but 2 of them couldn't make it.
Met with JamJamBoy in Foley's pub. Opened a HB9 at the bar with a clothing neg (I have one for each popular item of ladies' clothing, I sat down one day and compiled them), she turned out to be English. I mentioned that I used to live in Manchester, she indicated that one of her friends (HB6 in a mixed 7 set) was from there. I later went over and opened HB6 with an impersonation of a really thick Manchester accent. Spent the next 10 mins chatting. Couldn't quite get into HB9, her bitch shield was a little on the strong side. They were all flight attendants who work for BA and were in town for a few days. I bounced without closing. Could have tried a bit harder there to move around the set instead of just talking to HB6. Should have chatted to the guys too for social proof purposes.
Off we went to an upscale hotel bar up the street and grabbed some high seats near the bar. I opened a young looking HB7 who looked like a certain famous singer. She was giving us plenty of IOI despite being 'with' a fella in a five set. He was buying her drinks flat out and making sure he came over a lot, but she was rooted to the spot. I was negging her flat out about her jewelry and other stuff, jamjamboy joined in, she had no intention whatsoever of leaving. When things started running a little dry I changed the topic to business matters and luckily she provides a service that I think would be useful to some people that I know, so I got in a DHV about some community work I do and insisted on getting her details. I # closed her by getting her business card before she returned to the task of sitting by her soon-to-be-AFC BF.
We moved to some seats at the bar. I opened with the HB6 barmaid who turned out to be very chatty, got plenty of social proof from long animated convo with her.
Then we bounced to another upscale bar up the street. I got a shot of whiskey (I know, I know, but I felt like a drink to help overcome the AA) and contemplated opening a 4 set. I thought about it too hard and too long, also spent too much time looking like an AFC looking in their direction, so thought better of it. We moved to the other end of the bar near the door where there's more foot traffic, grabbed some seats at the bar. I know this might be AFC, but if your seat at the bar is in a good location and you leave a gap between you and your buddy, the HBs will come to you to get a drink, saving you the AA problem.
I opened a HB8 beside me and got a fair bit of chat out of her. Didn't push for a close since she wasn't going anywhere. Some guys were hitting on her and her 3 set later, I just let them work away since I was otherwise occupied.
I heard a HB8 over my shoulder complain about how cold it was. I negged her about how she should have wrapped up warm. That was enough to open her, ten minutes of chat followed, ending with her asking my name, shaking my hand, and saying she'd be over again later.
Next was a HB6 ordering drinks from the same location. I opened her with a neg about a ring on her finger, that produced a 10-minute convo. Her HB5.5 friend butted in saying that I should buy the drinks that they had just ordered. I asked if she had seen 'Office Space' the movie, and when she confirmed that I re-enacted the scene where Lumberg says "Yyyyyyyeeeeah. I'm gonna go ahead and, um, Disagree with you there." Got a bit of a laugh. Those girls moved soon after, but not until I kissed one of them on the hand (can't remember which). They went off and danced.
I looked around next and saw that Jamjamboy had opened a HB5.5. I negged her about her necklace, she heard my accent, I immediately launched into an accent routine that I have prepared. She soon started throwing out all sorts of self-justifying stuff, so I fed into it to build a little Yes Ladder (she'd already built most of it herself, an IOI if ever there was), got as far as "are you quite perceptive?" and I used that to launch into a kino-based routine that I picked up off youtube and modified for myself. Got a major laugh from her, although she asked how many times I'd used the trick. It was my first time as it happened, and that's what I told her. (Hindsight - that was prolly a shit-test that I should have ignored.)
I didn't bother closing because I didn't consider her hot enough to justify it, nor did I think she'd earned it. (Wow, I'm starting to think like a PUA now.) Jamjamboy kept her amused for a lot of this set too. I wasn't cockblocking, JJB was just struggling for some of the night and I figured he needed a little help with this one.
So we bounced back to that hotel bar. JJB opened a 3 set of young HB8.5/9s. He got a pack of gum from me and negged one of them about garlic breath. It went down really well, the girls loved it! He kept on with the negs and said that one of them was going to buy us drinks in return for the gum, so I pounced in and asked for an expensive cocktail. HB9 started wagging the finger and lecturing about how guys should never ask a girl to buy a drink. I negged her about the finger movement, getting a little finger fencing going. They all ended up sitting at the bar, we left them to it.
JJB went over to open a 5 just for practice, I went up to the bar beside an older HB8.5 MILF. I opened with a neg about her ring. Must have chatted with her for over half an hour. Shit-tests abounded, I dutifully ignored them. One of them was on the subject of shopping. "I'm a fussy shopper" she said. I ignored it. "That just went over your head, didn't it?" (Actually, it did and I didn't figure out its true meaning until later, but by her actions I was able to deduce that it was a shit-test and so ignored it.) Her HB6 friend was tapping her shoulder jealously, I brought her into the convo briefly, I was looking around for JJB hoping that he would show up and get winging. He did soon enough.
Later, farther down the bar I noticed an alpha guy that I know and I saluted him. MILF knows the guy (a rugby player) and there seems to be some history there because she was hiding from him. "OMG, do you know him?" I said "Sure. Why?" She used to date someone on his team. She was whispering flat out to her HB6 friend at this point, some history here. He came up to me and we chatted away for a short while, then when he got his drinks and left I turned back into the set and decided to go for a close before this thing collapses. Whatever the history is, I didn't want to navigate through it so I pushed for the number and eventually got it before she went over to chat to him. I had to push quite hard for the number too, but I figured that enough time and good quality convo (including the $10 split routine) had been invested in it to justify a close.
When JJB and I bounced she was visibly sad to see us go, so I got a kiss on the cheek and a bit of shoulder-rubbing kino in there. About 3 minutes later I texted her saying "Stop being such a fussy shopper!"
JJB and I were sitting in the lobby reviewing the night's work and I showed him the text just as I sent it. 1 second later who comes walking out of the bathroom and straight past us (without seeing us because her head was buried in her phone reading a text) but HB8.5 MILF with a big pouty smile on her face! LOL! She texted back "Ha haw ha!"
So JJB and I reviewed the evening's work and we bounced for the night. Some hired guns were approaching us in the street handing out flyers for a strip club where they work as strippers. I tried to keep convo going with them for as long as possible, avoiding as much as I could any attempt to talk about their nighttime work despite their best attempts to bring the subject back to that. Got about 30 seconds of chat from the 1st one before she moved on, about 2 minutes and a hug from the second one.
So 2 # closes, and we ended on a high note. I can't wait to go out again! Bring on next Saturday night! I love the game!
