I finally decided that the only way to really test out my skill set was to go the night alone. This was pretty nerve wracking for me, because I realized that if I did not keep sets interested in me, that I would end up becoming one of those guys in the corner. I started the night at my favorite club, it was pretty early when I got there and there were not many people to be seen yet, so I found a secluded area where I could drink my water and not be seen sitting alone. I was getting mentally prepared for overcoming one of my limiting beliefs- that I could not have success going out alone. After about 15 minutes of mental preparation, I noticed that the floor was beginning to fill. It was time to start approaching. I approached a two set seated at a table, fortunately, I actually recognized one of the girls from a set the week before. She was with a new friend. Neither of these women were attractive, but they were just what I needed to get some social proof. I ran a couple routines on them, and they were eating it up. Eventually I used the cat person/dog person cold read on them, it was the perfect way to get others involved. We ended up guessing 2.5 out of 3 of the girls sitting near us, one of them was pretty adamant that she was neither a cat person or dog person. I had successfully merged two separate sets, and now had a five set going, although there was only one HB8. I did a couple more value demonstrations, and left the set to find a better one. I ended up working another set with what I call the Russell Crowe opener, I ask the girls if they think Russell Crowe is hot, and then get into a story about me babysitting my little cousin who has a huge poster of Russell Crowe. Girls eat this story up, and I sell how much I love my cousin. This new set had a lot better looks in it, there were two HB8s, and an HB9. I made a crucial error though, because I never identified a target. I felt a lost working the set. After a while of talk, I ended up dancing with a bunch of the girls. It wasn’t very physical, but I ended up having fun. When I got off the dance floor, I decided to approach another set, I used a situational opener since her friend left her briefly, this set went the best, I felt that I set the hook in the conversation- the difference may have been the opener- she was left guarding the drinks. Her friend ended up coming back, and the conversation took a turn and we ended up talking about women who don’t wear panties when they are clubbing. The girls had to go, but it was a pretty sexual conversation, they were HB7s. I ended up leaving venue #1, but as I left, I had girls holler at me from the patio of the club that looks over the street. I was being approached! These girls were 7s, and I flirted for them a while, I wasn’t really interested in getting their numbers. I arrived at venue #2 with slightly different attire. Venue #1 does not allow hats, but Venue #2 does, so I put on my cowboy hat and decided to try peacock theory- I got a lot of looks in there. I entered a set right off the bat, and I got a girl to tell me I looked like Brad Paisley! I failed to capitalize though, her friend dragged her off. I should have showed more interest in my target after she had complimented me. Perhaps something along the lines of “You are pretty cute, but you aren’t my type” would have fit the bill. I will start getting this down. I went and approached another set, it was going well, and pretty soon, other girls started entering the set, it was an awesome feeling! A couple of the girls seemed to be intrigued, but I didn’t escalate enough. I ended up talking to a few more girls- the big thing I was interested in doing last night was getting over the nerves of going out alone. I believe I did that. I have noticed a few weaknesses in my game at this point: 1. Choosing a target, I often find that I don’t choose my target when I am in a set, and I feel a little lost on who to neg and ignore. 2. Beginning the escalation. 3. Tone of voice- I often find myself a little too high energy, and my voice reflects it- it becomes too approval seeking at times I am sure. 4. Recognizing IOIs. Perhaps I am not getting any, but I believe it’s more likely that I am failing to get them. 5. Leaning in and pecking. Sometimes I lean into too much because it is loud in the venue. I have to end this habit. I will have to kill these one at a time, but I know that once I do, I will see solid improvement in my game. |
