I thought you were going to tell a story about one of the three actual dudes trying to pick you up

[liquidmusezak]

I totally see your skepticism, and I think it's totally justified. But, as a woman who has been reading about this, it's honestly pretty perfect. It's entertaining, and even knowing what I did, I really enjoyed the conversation and was definitely more attracted to the guy talking to us after it was all over. Whereas I would not have gone up to talk to him, him talking to us obviously increased his chances. And the fact that we didn't have a boring talk about our jobs increased his appeal

I too have discovered that talking about boring topics like, what do you do/do you live around here/where did you go to school etc. are bad, especially at first, and I realized it sends the vibe towards that of a job interview. In fact, if the girl starts asking me boring questions I will even say "what is this, a job interview? Let's talk about something interesting like..." and pick a more interesting subject.

And yeah, I'd answer similarly to Mystery...

"That's a great/funny shirt."
"I know, and I look so damn sexy in it, don't I?"

Maybe the structured conversations are helpful to those kinds of guys that need it - I guess I just prefer to wing it and let the conversation flow naturally. After all, if I want to attract a girl, I want her to get to know ME and not just some scripts, you know? I've just found that as long as I'm confident and funny and avoid the aforementioned boring topics, I do pretty well.

teehee - i have no doubt that you do excellently ;o) your line in response to boring questions is pretty classic.

i was actually just reading a post on a message forum that responded to guys getting really upset that the methods were out there now, and the post was something like, "come on, please don't tell me that you are still out there doing 'the best friends test.'" I guess the whole goal of having canned material is for your game to eventually evolve to the point where there is no material, you're just freeballin' it.

I'm sorry to bring down the intellectual tone of this conversation, but...

I was cutting my date's meat during our first dinner

i love you mollie! this entry cheered me up hardcore as i wait in the airport after waking up at 3:50 am for my f-ing flight back to montreal....

(and omg jaleo is so good, we should save up $$ and go next time i'm in dc)

[liquidmusezak]

oh goodness...i didn't realize 3:50am existed...

I needed to come back to this entry to report to you that something like this happened to me last night!

I didn't notice, because I've never watched the show, but my friend Erica did. She was really excited and going over the tactics afterwards with me. You guys should talk. I don't remember everything she was saying, but there was something about having an interesting piece of "flair" like jewelry or a shirt.

[liquidmusezak]

yes! peacocking!! how fun!

i think the method is really enjoyable...it's even more exciting when you get what the guy is doing :)
