Oct 28

Went out to a happy hour with a bunch of my friends and cousin. Drank a bunch, which of course raised my state. My friend had been itching to watch me demo for a while, so with enough inebriation I went in. Did an okay demo, won over a group of two guys two girls, then mini-isolated one chick for a while. I went in for more isolation but she declined so I left.

I iteratively hit on all my buddy’s friends, but they all had boyfriends or husbands. I explained a lot of game theory to my cousin, how I quickly find out the logistics and bounce if there’s no point in wasting time. We chatted a lot about random crap.

We went to Union Square to meet up with Aristokrat. Within a minute I saw a hot chick walk by so I left the group. I asked if she liked horses, to which she responded, “Why do people keep asking me that, I’ve been asked that three times already!” So I immediately switched gears and ran a huge stack of stuff on her. Kino wasn’t that good, except during my palm reading. I tried to isolate her, getting her to get coffee with me but she declined. Then I ran Pheromone Kid stuff on her, which she declined. She offered her number but I didn’t take it since she said she had a boyfriend and just wanted to be friends. In retrospect I should have told her that I’m not interested in making any more friends, and maybe given her my number if she wanted a booty call.

We went for pizza. My cousin and friend were impressed by my approach skills. That’s not saying a lot, but hey, I love external validation. =)

It’s interesting last night that I didn’t get blown out by a single girl. Well, girls on the street, but walking girls are super difficult anyway. My first approach, mixed group of 4, I won them over but I left when the chick declined my isolation. Maybe I should have worked that more. My second approach was two chicks who became three. They weren’t engaged in me so I left. Third approach was a chick walking on the street. Stopped her, ran a full stack, she even offered a number to me, which is something I haven’t gotten in recent memory. Not sure if it’s ever happened to me at all.

So in summary, my progress has improved in two areas: 1) my blowout rate is not super high anymore. It used to be that I get blown out within seconds, I’d chalk it up to “it’s a numbers game”, and keep moving. Something in my presence or delivery or other fundamentals has changed, for the better. Sweet! 2) I got offered a number without asking. This has never happened to me before. It feels good.
