First off, I love the read this field report - so accurate. Thanks for the mentions, Boot-it. Like you said, having a good wingman is the key to success… a good wingman is not necessarily one who gets all the attention from women. He’s one that you click with, and that you both can help out when “dead times” appear when sarging.
1) Don’t ever call a previous close to join you during your sarges. I thought it could help with DHV, but it didn’t (however, she was my back up close if I wasn’t getting any that night! Haha). DHV is acquired when blending with HBs.
2) Starting, I was a bit sceptical about that night – I dressed totally different than the usual. Three buttons open on shirt, Mohawk hair, lots of perfume (D&G Light Blue… girls love it) and a few pieces of jewellery. It worked like a charm!! I was, for some time, the only guy dancing on the tiny dance floor, with the 8 set. And they all took their time to smell me from head to toe – Got to love D&G.
3) How did we open the 8 set? This girl was staring at me with a smile and Boot-it walked up and asked: “why are you starring at my friend?”… then I was in for some major fondling
4) Let me just clarify that, yes, dark corners are bad when sarging (you’d better off be gone from the scene), but if you want to make-out or have a bit of fun with Miss L. that’s where you need to bring her.
5) Smile is important. Cocky smile is even better, if you ask me!
6) Remember one thing guys… if you wing does such a thing (i.e. opens a large set alone), sometimes in the process, you should go in and introduce yourself… just to show that he’s got friends around. I walked up and asked the easiest question… “So, I’ve seen you talking to my friend here, how do you guys know eachother?” Then, obviously, leave set and continue with your thing.
And now to try to answer MiMs277’s question… get a “Boot-It” as a wingman, and you’ll never run out of things to say! Haha. I’m a great opener, but I tend to have the same problem as you – I can’t keep the flow for more than 5-10 minutes. As for the three-second rule… I just open without a plan. Having a plan fucks up your thoughts or makes you feel like a recording machine… hence, having issues with continuing the conversation. Say something totally silly to a girl when passing by her, and the rest should come naturally (since you didn’t “plan” to talk to her). I say I use more like a one-second rule! haha
Openers are the easiest thing to do... remember that girls are also great "peacockers." Comment on the attire, then find out why they decided on such gear to go out. Girls love to talk about clothes.
The way I open sets is the exact same way as Boot-it. I will never talk directly to my mark. I’ll even turn my back to her sometimes. Then after a while, I’ll throw her a neg (see log “The Attention Neg” that I wrote on Oct 06 2010), and then shift my attention towards her…
To start, try to have a few “routines” in mind before going out. For example, the opinion on something, games, the ex girlfriend approach, the “I’m new around here,” the five questions (look for Style’s 5 question routine on YouTube), etc. Having a few of these in your repertoire will help a lot.
I like how Boot-it puts emphasis on “telling her what to do” instead of asking her. It works like a charm. I actually used it last week to get a paid dinner from this previous number close.
Good luck!
