Where I live, people who do what I do are almost immediately cancelled by women from any interaction. The vast majority of people in my line of work go out on the town and destroy it, they get into fights, terrorize women and do all kinds of stupid things. They are AFC's with confidence and lots of alcohol. I have found that if you get far enough into a set without mentioning employment, it is possible to miss the point entirely. Although during a set last week I was asked the question.
"So what do you do?"
With a little bit of in-game thinking (and a lot of previous book reading) I managed to come up with a gambit that worked almost impeccably.
A classic Mystery technique is the explanation of what you wanted to be when you grow up and how it led to where you are now, taking her on the journey with you. My spin on this is that I wanted to be a veterinarian nurse when I was a kid. I tell the girl about how I had a little guinea pig when I was a kid, and one day I got home from school and it was sitting in its hutch all still and shivering. I got it out of it's hutch, but since my parent's weren't home I didn't know what to do with it. I took it inside and had it sitting on my stomach, where it threw up on me. I panicked. But I remembered that whenever I would throw up, my dad would get me in bed and put a wet cloth on my head and all that jazz. So I went into the kitchen and cot a cloth, but it was too big, so I ripped off a bit of the kitchen sponge and wet it and put it on the guinea pigs' head. That was when I really decided that I wanted to be a vet, so I would know what to do when that happened.
Now that story goes for more than 5 minutes, with embellishments and all that, and it ALWAYS gets an "awwwwwww" or two, which shows that they really like you right now.
I then turn this into style's evolution phase shift. I go along the lines of
"Isn't it amazing that I made that correlation? I mean a guinea pig is obviously completely anatomically different from a human, but I still made that connection at such a young age. Isn't the human brain amazing? The way it has evolved?"
You can see where I am going with that. The evolution K-close.
With this gambit it is important that you do not try to hide what you do for a living, you just forget to talk about it, since the conversation veered off on it's own accord. If she is too intent on finding out what you do, it might not work.
I came up with this in the field, so it was kinda baptized by fire. It worked well. K-close and a number. You might want to change it for yourself, but any 'sick pet' story would work I think. It turned out to be a great gambit from moving from such a generic question all the way to a K close in about 10 minutes. I wouldn't use it before you have enough attraction, but it builds a heap of attraction in itself, it gets a great 'awwwww'.
Hope you like it
