Hey guys, I just wanted to gather some insight on how to handle an unexpected obstacle 'The Rose Seller' as a few of them seem to operate in my area lurking inside and outside of the popular clubs.
This has happened on about a half dozen occasions and has even happened once during a 'bounce' which was unfortunate

, so I consider it a personal sticking point, but I could be running my game then sure enough some guy/girl will try muscle in on the pick up and essentially give me an unexpected shit test and lowers my value as I try deal with it and no matter how I try and maintain my frame whilst I disarm them and make them go away, always seems harms my chances to some degree.
I've dismissed them with:
"Not tonight thank you"
"Maybe another time, thanks"
"I'm not trying to seduce her y'know
" (false disqualifier)
What would you suggest is the best way to defuse the seller without buying a rose, because in my opinion I think they are opportunists, exploit my frame, let alone lame as hell as they try to make a quick buck off my investment, but sticking to my principals and not buying into their frame of being
'yet another sucker' and sending them on their way, I don't get women drinks to 'buy their time/affection so I don't want to buy a rose to accomplish the same thing but as much as I hold my frame I want to avoid coming across as 'cheap ass' in a HB's eyes.
As I refuse the sale and she scours me, one of her own shit test will follow.
Some of the comebacks I’ve used to make light of the situation are:
“… and they say romance is dead
”
“You need a rose to feel special?… that’s so cute!
”
“I don’t need material possessions to buy your attention
”
“well, I'm not trying to impress you
” (ballsy but a false disqualifier)
