Sho’nuff – The Shogun of Harlem

February 14, 2011
krauserpua

One of the hardest stumbling blocks for a guy learning game is to get his vibe right. In the beginning you can force yourself through strength of will to do approaches. It’s pretty easy to watch DVDs. You can start to relax a bit in set but sarging just feels like hard work. You are always thinking about the next line, the next tactic. You are “gamey”. For at least 90% of guys this is a stage that can’t be skipped. Unfortunately many guys stay there. They don’t do the deep dive into their identity. At best they become highly practised betas. And this will get them laid with 3-8 girls a year, none of high quality.

 

Allow me to use The Last Dragon to explain how an intermediate guy fixes his vibe.

 

Bruce Leeroy is a promising martial artist with a ton of potential. He’s doing all the hard work and he’s improving dramatically. He’s doing everything he should to build genuine value but he’s plateaued. His problem is fear of enlightenment. Sho’nuff has no such problem. His ego is out of control. He’s unable to accept himself and his value so he collects acolytes around him to suck state out of them to big himself up. Kinda like a pick-up guru. Everything he does is to demand unearned respect, he’s the grandstander bully. This is gonna end in a fight.

 

Let’s watch the fight.

0:05 – This is how you enter a club. Pure douchebag. Sho’nuff is imposing his vibe and state-crashing Leeroy

0:17 – We’ll call her the target. Pre-hogtied. How I like ’em

0:24 – Intense eye-fucking. Sixty would be proud

0:31 – Can you say “adrenalin dump”. Leeroy’s sliding into a submissive state here.

0:43 – Leeroy offers resistance. A shit test to see if Shonuff holds state

0:50 – Tight game doesn’t require much work. You just read the situation well and make small changes.

0:56 – Shit test past, bitch shield is blasted apart.

1:02 – Douchebag. It’s all in the eye contact and vocal tone. You are saying “I’m the boss of this interaction”

1:14 – Leeroy is trying to re-pump his state through workrate and physiology. Nice try.

1:21 – It’s ok to accept resistance if you frame it as part of the game before you win.

1:58 – Sometimes in set you aren’t sure where it’s going. Just focus on holding state and protecting your value

2:53 – Peak state. Most nightgame is focused towards building so much state and value with your friends that you are glowing with the unstoppable aura like the Shogun of Harlem

3:20 – You feel bulletproof and no rejection or shit test can phase you

5:00 – And now we get the question every intermediate gamer must ask himself. He’s been looking up to Sho’nuff / Mystery / the cool guys in the bar and acting like he’s not good enough for such exalted company. Is he gonna step up?

5:13 – That’s Dr Paul

5:32 – The leap of faith

5:38 – State / Aura / Lording

5:44 – I’ve seen chodes do this when I’m pulling girls to me under harsh pressure

6:10 – State crash. Nothing hits, it all seems so try-hard now.

60 Hours of Challenge: Latvia Nightgame

February 13, 2011
krauserpua

This weekend I’ve been humbling myself in the quest for tighter nightgame. I was fortunate enough to get some time off away from Jambone‘s incessant bitching as Moran and I arrived in Latvia a day early. I told him to treat me like a student because we were entering his arena (loud full-on clubs with hot bitchy girls) and I’m prepared to accept I’m not good in those environments. So I brought the collection of 60’s material and the following rules:
  • Escalate everything quickly, day or night
  • No numbers
  • No facebooks
  • No dates
The idea is to gun for the fast lay so I have purity of purpose with no distractions and no temptation to back off and take a number. Every girl was gonna be pushed until she blows me out or comes home with me. I fully expect to get horrendously rejected continuously. It doesn’t bother me. I can burn the whole turn and not care because I won’t be back. So we go out to The Club.
First things first, we are applying the Krauser Nightgame Method. Now really this isn’t a method for how to run a set, it’s a method for what you do before and between sets so it was entirely compatible with rapid escalation. We walk in full of energy and prop ourselves up at the bar. We are pumping our state for an hour ignoring all the hot girls and damn there’s a full compliment of hot girls here. Average age looks like 21 and at least half are 7s or better. A fair smattering of 8s and the occasional 9. We surrepticously check out the (lack of) competition. There’s none. The only confidence in the bar is from the guys who came with their girlfriends. Every other guy is scared. There’s lots of chode-hopping, dancing monkey dancing, and lame grinding. Moran describes it better here.
So we get started. My only opener for the whole night is (i) seductive sexual eye contact (ii) playful smirk (iii) direct walk and (iv) handshake. Pretty much every girl hears “Hi. I’m Nick” and is then pulled in. I do it about 25 times.
I am fucking astonished. I get blown out only twice all night, and just laugh it off like nothing. I have zero AA. Nearly every girl hooks. I get two kiss closes both from 8s and many many girls kinoing me. We are owning the club. It’s like a whirling dervish is just whipping the whole place up into a dust cloud. There’s only two types of game going on:
Latvian Chode Game – Guy stands around like a zombie value-scanning the room. Girl gives fake IOI. Guy runs over and grinds. Girl back turns.
Krauser/Moran Game – Guy pulls girl in, locks in, girl throws herself over guy with full body contact thigh up to chest. Girls massively IOIs.
Don’t get me wrong. I haven’t mastered rapid escalation. Tonight was about getting the sets in, getting escalation practice. I didn’t leave with a girl (although I would’ve if her friend didn’t cockblock me while I had her tits out in the corner of the dancefloor). Some highlights:
  • I pull a girl in, lock in at thre bar and she gives me the full body merge with her crotch pushing into my thigh and her arms draped around me. Later her boyfriend comes over and peels her off.
  • I’m eyefucking / handholding a girl on the dancefloor. Another random chick, a 7 or 8, interrupts her by grabbing my neckchain and literally dragging me away so I can eyefuck her instead.
  • Another eyefucking/handholding leads a girl to do stripper dancing for me (to which I yawn and backturn) and then start lesbian grinding / kissing for me. Later she gets three dancing monkeys to work for her at the same time while we eye code across the bar.
  • I try it with a tall Turkish 9. She hooks but bails on the escalation. An hour later I go after her friend. She hooks and eye-spazzs. I walk her backwards to the wall and then eyefuck her while forehead to forehead, breathing hard on her through my nose. My arms are behind my back. Just motionless, eyefucking her. Then I run my breath all round her face, hold her hand and get mutual caressing. Then the kiss. She’s well into it. I isolate and it’s going great. I verbally escalate with dirty talk, pull a tit out of her top and am generally well on the way before her friend texts incessantly and demands she come find her. I leave it ten minutes, find her, drag her back and am just about to get it on again when the friend storms over and pulls her out the club. Boo. She was an 8 and a 100% Krauser girl.
So many sets went like this. We were literally opening every hot girl, one after another and after Moran opened I’d do the same girl. Counter-intuitively, we lost no value chasing like this. The intent was so strong. All the chodes were staring in disbelief. And this was despite never really hitting state. Yup, I like this method.

Latvia Journal – An insight into Latvian women… Its brutal out here!

February 12, 2011
krauserpua

This is a guest post from my wing and good buddy Moran, the SNL king of RSG

Me and Krauser are in Latvia, been here one night and just about to hit the street for some daygame.  Latvia from I’ve seen so far is a beautiful country, more visually impressive than Lithuania and Poland, people seem to hold themselves differently here. And of course, the women are stunning.

I have one main reason for this Journal. I’m being tested mercilessly here and it is truely testing my character.  Like BIG TIME.  I personally have done some travelling around Europe and have experienced women from most countries so far.  But Lavian women are a different story.

I want to gain two things from this trip:

  • To understand Latvian women and their culture/upbringing
  • To seduce a Latvian woman or two Wink

Let me quickly describe myself to those who are new to me. I’m tall, told I’m a good looking guy, socially comfortable and have a strong desire to rapidly escalate.  I can be lazy when talking to women and can give off the typical player vibe if it wasn’t for my straight forward honesty that corrects this.  To be brutally honest about myself, I’m used to some sort of feedback off women, however little, especially when I rapidly escalate.  I’m used to receiving validation off women and even if it takes a whole night I know I’ll find a girl. However I do not seek validation.  I’m used to SNL’s or getting Day2 lays but I don’t expect them as my right to always receive them.

Before coming here I was prewarned about Latvian womens strong manipulative tendencies here despite their beauty, however I have decided to wipe the slate clean and come here with a fresh mind.

11/02/10 -First night

Me and Krauser have some warm up drinks, get pumped up and hit the streets of old town Riga.  Warning for anyone that is interested in Latvia this time of year, its freezing! Like -12 on average.  But the snow does make the country look beautiful.

We set off down the road and hit the first club we find, called “The club”.  What a name for a club Wink Inside its loud and has a Tiger Tiger feeling, so feeling a little at home we set off.  The women in here are stunning but young.  And already we’re starting to get a feel for the club.  Lots of women dancing around by themselves with guys hanging around trying to grind up next to them.  The women give the guys a quick look to come in, the guy comes in and the women just turns their back to them. Charming. I start to think that I’m going to have my work set tonight.

Krauser is now off, hits into a three set and starts rapidly escalating.  For those who know Krauser this is not his usual way of approaching women but this weekend he’s commited himself to just used that technique.  And he was doing well. I approach the only brunette of the set and she’s receptive, I can feel her interest.  I escalate and I’m told she has a b/f. Damn. I tell her my boundaries of not coming onto a girl with a boyfriend and say my goodbyes.  She then gives more interest. Typical.

After ejecting we set out round the back of the club and find a small room of about 70 people.  And now the fun begins.

We start escalating again and again.  We’re hitting state now.  Krauser is pulling in some cute blonde chick while I’m dancing with some other blonde chick.  But I feel something odd about her.  She keeps looking at herself in the mirror while dancing  and starts pouting to herself. Warning sign. I start escalating hard judging her responses, she looks at me like I’ve shit myself.  Then shows interest. Then goes back to her arse face look.  Ooo, not good, I sense a manipulator. I eject leaving her standing while holding strong eye with another chick going straight back into set.  Again I escalate. This chick starts smiling while looking around. Then back turns and just walks off.  Oooo, a nice little blow to me Grin But its still building my momentum, so I turn round and start escalating a chick at the bar and immediately tells me she wants to dance. Hmmm, can’t be going to bad.

So, over the course of the next two hours this sort of interactions keep happening, me and Krauser continuisuly escalating, completely out dominating the surrounding men and having most of the club just staring at us.

I’ve approached about 15 chicks by this point and they are all giving the same response, sucking validation off me and then pretending I’m not there.  I’ll be honest here, apart from the bulletproof vibe I give off to women, this is really starting to drain me.  I felt like I had just been in a fight and received an adrenaline dump.  But I wasn’t giving up yet.  I repump myself back up and hit back into escalating.  Then the first one comes.  The first chick of the night where I can feel her vibe is genuine, not the usual character pretending from the other Latvian chicks.  I lock her in immediately and I feel her interest back.  This feels good.  I go to extract her to another room and a Latvian guy steps in, full body grabbing her.

Me: “Shes with me” **Smiling**
Lat Dude: “I don’t understand” **Smiling broadly**

I tear her off him, he starts to kick off but we leave.

Now here upstairs in the club and she’s asking me for drink and I say I don’t buy a chick a drink unless she is prepared to buy one back. She has no money.  I explain in England, men and women buy each other drinks as a sign of respect. She tells me this is Latvia.  Urrrggghhhhh.  But after that little miss statement off her I still feel her genuineness.

For the guys out there who have experience with Latvian women, is buying a Latvian women a drink (if she is not just tooling the guy) a sign of respect? I need to try and work this out.  This chick was generally disappointed when she left, was vastly different from the other chicks here.

Now on my own and make my way back to Krauser.  I’m looking around and what I see is just painful.  Guys are trying again and again to dance with chicks and they are getting ruthlessly pawned off. Guys buying drinks for chicks to be immediately back turned and pretend they weren’t there.  I have NEVER seen so much disrespect for men in one club.  The women here were destroying the men bit by bit.  Every half an hour a guy would lose it with a women and bouncers would step in and drag him out, leaving the women smiling and giving off a look of satisfaction.  How can a man have respect for Latvian women in this place? My respect for Latvian women was certinately getting tested to its extreme. But I have 4 more days here, I’m not giving up yet.

I come back to Krauser to see a chick all over him.  Yeeeeeaahhhhhh!! Krauser is getting in there. I start scanning for her friends, they must be ready to escalate as well.  Instead I see a guy not far from them both, standing there getting more and more angry.  I shortly find out that this is her boyfriend.  Oooooo, another blow for the respect of Latvian women.  I felt bad for this guy, she kept coming back and again he would have to unzip her from Krauser. What a player.

We finally decide to leave the club.  Krauser drops his Turkish potential SNL who keeps fluctuating back and forth with interest then no interest.  A Russian chick who keeps trying to tool me and showing disinterest I firmly place as a friend and kiss her on the chick goodbye. She gives me a flash of interest. I leave with Krauser.  We make our way to the coats and while waiting I turn round to notice that she has followed us through the club to the entrance.  She pretends not to see me.  Typical. I smile and go to open but she turns around and runs up the stairs, like fast running up the stairs.  Ah man, is this game playing going to end?

Finally we are outside. God it feels good to be outside despite the freezing cold. Me and Krauser decide to go home but he then opens two chicks in the street for fun. They hook.  They are both 24 and seem more mature than some of the chicks in the bar earlier.  We start vibing with them and the brunette is showing interest.

Me: “I’ve nearly lost all my respect for Latvian women, please help me. I’m dying”
Brunette Lat: **Laughs** You’re beautiful **Smiling**
Me: Pardon?! Just you just say that? I haven’t heard that from anyone tonight.  A Latvian woman is actually complimenting me?
Brunette Lat: **Laughs** **Flashing a look of strong interest**
Me: My god, I like you.
Brunette Lat: Come with us to Push bar **Smiling**
Me: Sure, lets go.

This feel good, a genuine Latvian women.  She even pays for me and Krauser to get into the bar. Unfortunately this is where the night ends as her friend was married and my girl had a boyfriend.  Despite her strong interest and asking me questions like “Where you staying” and “When you thinking of going back” I have to set my boundries again. I’m gutted, I like this chick.

Thats our first night.  And my god I’ve haven’t been tested this mercessily every before.  I feel good now but when I came in with Krauser I was emotionally exhausted.

We have three more friends joining us tonight, Jambone, Snake and Bhodisatta. Lets see what happens.

Lessons for tonight:

  • Filter more.  Don’t waste energy escalating strong playerish women.  I have to conserve my energy more for women I know we’ll give it straight to me.
  • Don’t continously escalate all night long.  I was burning myself too quickly, was not surprising after a couple of hours I was exhausting myself.

I MUST crack this and learn about Latvian women.  And I’m craving sex. Wish me luck Cheesy

Peace

Intellectual Mastery 1

February 10, 2011
krauserpua

Here’s a quick overview of a new form of game I’ve been creating. It’s was originally intended as a tangent in my Soul Collection presentation but now that’s indefinitely shelved it’s time to dust off the intellectual mastery and find a way to use it as Light rather than Dark Side. The basic goal of IM is:

Blow a girl’s mind and redefine her reality to fit her within yours.

Yes, that’s really vague so I’ll unpack the detail. There’s things I can’t do well in game because of who I am. I’m not young, I’m not good looking, and I can’t dance for shit. There are other things in life I am way above average at so if I can move the game to my battlefield I can win. Like the old adage – who wins a fight between a shark and a tiger? It all depends if they fight in the sea or the jungle.

 

or between a pirate and a ninja

This is what I’m good at. If you are too, intellectual mastery will work for you:

  • Considerably above average intelligence
  • Very widely read in culture, philosophy, science etc
  • Old enough to have settled into your place as a man
  • Seen alot of the world and the people in it, e.g. through travel or life experience

Regular readers are aware of the Jungian male archetypes of King, Warrior, Lover, Magician. It is the latter which is exemplified by this type of game. The Magician has access to forbidden knowledge that allows the world to be bent to your will. He’s the rainmaker, the witch doctor, the reader of entrails. Think for yourself when you first got into Game. Remember the lure of a secret dark art that allows you to manipulate women into your bed. It’s intoxicating. Why are we seduced by promises such as a gambling system that allows you to “beat” the fruit machines, or the secrets of streetfighting, or predictive technical analysis of stock market movements? We are lured by the use of an unfair advantage to exercise power over the world to get what we want.

Women are attracted to a man who bends the world to his will, rather than bends to fit the world. The man can be the King who provides organisation, the Warrior who enforces through will and violence, or even the Lover who inspires through joy. In this case, we are harnessing the Magician. We will show the woman that we see the world with penetrating clarity, we see the deep tidal undercurrents around which people bob powerlessly like boats in a violent sea. We see the matrix. What she sees as fuzzy, vague and impossibly complex we see as sharp, defined and clearly labelled.

Look at a classic optical illusion

Try un-seeing it

Once you’ve seen the Dalmatian, you can never unsee it. Your reality has been permanently shifted to observe a pattern from randomness. You will be doing this to the girl on a grand scale. Initially she will feel intrigue, then wonder, then total supplication to her educator, then hunger for more, and finally place herself completely within your control for emotional and intellectual direction. You will find the girl entrusts her life’s direction to you. You are not merely leading her pussy or her body. You are leading her soul.

Next post, I show how to do it here.

Hypnotic Scanning

February 10, 2011
krauserpua

Try an experiment next time you’re on a date. Hold strong non-threatening eye contact with a girl and then lower your voice. Maintain tension until she releases it by laughing. Immediately tell her off for being too childish to hold eye contact without giggling like a schoolgirl seeing her first willy. Then challenge her to hold your eye contact for ten seconds without laughing or talking. It’s okay to blink but she can’t look away. If she’s on the date then she likes you, so she’ll do it.

Tell her to take some deep breaths. Make a big production out of it. Then she has to settle down and get ready. This will make it even more difficult for her to keep a straight face because of the pressure. Then start. The important elements are:

1. Eye fuck her. Visualise her naked and your cock inside her. Get vivid images in your mind.
2. Lower your voice to a deep monotone
3. Say the numbers slowly and deliberately
4. Do not smile, raise eyebrows or anything else to lighten the mood. The goal is sexual tension.

She will laugh almost immediately. You probably won’t get to “five”. Keep admonishing her and making her do it again. Act like an exasperated teacher who is giving the dumbest kid in class one last chance. In-between each attempt completely lighten your demeanor and be normal. Then as you count go back to the intensity. Enjoy her involuntary IOIs.

Congratulations. You’ve created strong sexual tension within a safe open environment without using any kino and without openly talking about sex. Do it anywhere – a cafe, a bus ride, a park. This video doesn’t include the part where I did this routine, but it does show the same principles in lower intensity in normal conversation.

The next step is hypnotic scanning. Tell the girl you are going to do it. She’ll wonder what it is so tell her you’re demonstrating it. Tell her to sit up straight, turn towards you, and hold her hand. Then do exactly the same routine but rather than counting to ten and making her giggle, you’re gonna pace her reality with something like…….

“Ok, so look into my eyes. Just hold my eye contact. Don’t worry about laughing or anything. Just relax. Now, we are not touching each other, except for our hands. Feel the connection that is building from our eyes. My eyes start to look bigger, filling your vision. Everything else is blurring. You don’t really notice everything around you. The sounds are a blur. You can just feel my voice, slowly, deeply, inside you. You are intensely aware of how your body feels. You can feel your toes inside your shoes. You can feel the muscles in your legs, the tenseness of them, and you can relax. You can feel your heart beating and your breath quickens. It’s relaxing. It’s like a connection between us. With our eyes.”

Just do that sort of bollocks for a while. Feel free to ask her questions such as “can you feel xyz?”, or to gesticulate in her peripheral vision. The important thing is to hold strong eye contact and not allow her eyes to wander and sever the link.

It feels fucking weird. Doubly so for her.

Congratulations. You’ve created strong non-verbal rapport without telling a story about your childhood or your hopes and dreams.

I did this for about three hours straight on this poor Bulgarian girl. Mostly it was in a dark bar so it wasn’t worth turning the camera on but watch towards the end of this video when I’m doing it just talking about coffee. See her eye contact and deer-in-headlights look.

Facebook Game – The little Bengali pixie

February 9, 2011
krauserpua

Here’s my third Facebook chat with this cute little pixie of a Bengali chick. The first chat was just to establish my existence and then she literally wasn’t online the same time as me for several weeks. I get a quick chat on Sunday and bail quick when I need to go out. Finally I get a chance to work without a time constraint. Here we go….

Me – boo
Her – hello     how you?
Me – I’m eating a vegetarian duck  [immediately off on a slightly odd footing]
Her – hmmmmmmmmmmmm      sounds lovely
Me – it is      but I was worried it would be a real duck, that was fed lettuce or something  [joke]
Her – wat is a vegetarian duck exactly
Me – tofu?
Her – oooooo    doesnt sounds so good now
Me – it’s de    li    ci    ou    s    😀    what you doing?  [playful vibe already set]
Her – on the fone    multitasking
Me – ok, I’ll be here a while. Come back when you’re gonna give your full undivided attention    😉  [not gonna DLV competing for her attention]
Her – ok cool

[half an hour later]

Her – hello again  [Great, she reinitiates which is an IOI]
Me – 😉
Her – so your a vegetarian?
Me – yeah, but I love meat. It’s not easy    I eat soya meat all the time  [this is true]
Her – how come you decided to be a vegeterian?  [IOI, general conversation making]
Me – I was camping in Wales with my family when I was 12    I saw a cattle market in some small town    It was the first time I made the emotional connection between those Disney animals that talk like humans, and burgers    didn’t like it much  [rapport but not making a huge moral issue out of it like so many vegetarians do. My frame is I don’t judge her unless she fails a major screening characteristic which is unlikely after I screened her in the first meeting]
Her – wow    so since you were 12 you havent eaten meat    ??    thats a huge commitment n self restrain you have  [IOI and telling me something she likes in men]
Me – thanks    It was quite hard when I lived in Japan    They have fish, pork or beef in everything :/  [remind her I lived abroad]
Her – do you eat fish?     do you eat eggs?
Me – Veggie. I’m nto vegan    I tried when I was 17. Too tough
Her – well some people dont like eggs  [this is all simple rapport stuff]
Me – I love diary 😀
Her – 😛    lol
Me – Are you a good cook?  [qualify her]
Her – i fink im good     give me ingrediance    ingrediance*     n i can make anything  [she qualifies]
Me – I don’t like mushroom, onion, or peppers    can you handle that AND vegetarian???? 😀  [qualify her harder]
Her – noooooooo    i love peppers     n mushrooms      ill have to feed you like a rabbit    thats what youve resorted me to    😦  [she qualifies. She’s also fun, I’m really liking her girly vibe]
Me – Boo, we can’t be friends 😛  [push pull]
Her – ok      😦
Me – Maybe we’ll have to share a fruit salad from M&S    Sit in a park, like tramps    Drinking special brew  [future project]
Her – sounds good to me    loool    you muppet  [she’s confident enough to tease me but it’s basically an IOI]
Me – ME???????    A MUPPET?????  [mock anger]
Her – ill bake you a cake    (p.s i dont know how to bake)  [mock surrender]
Me – ok. You bake a cake and in exchange    I’ll protect you from zombies  [retarded vibing]
Her – yay    sounds like an amazing trade    i do respect you alot more because i dont think id ever be able to not eat meat
Me – are you a proper carnivore? into red meat and steaks?
Her – i can be a vegetarian for a couple of day but then i start craving    yYES
Me – haha, I like a girl with hearty appetites for life  [frame her for the obvious]

Me – very very good. I’m taking the gang to Latvia on Friday 🙂  [DHV]
Her – wow     im going turkey in april    but compared to your trip thats nothing    you seem to go away so often    im jealous 😦  [I am well established as the interesting worldly-wise older guy now. She is looking up to me]
Me – We go somewhere every month, for a week    prepare to get jealous…….    July was Lithuania

Me – What type of holiday do you want?    City, beach, adventure?
Her – short city     warm-ish
Me – What do you do? visit the sites, sit in cafes, drink like a maniac in clubs?  [eliciting values]
Her – anything    no drinking     i like cafe     and just chilled atmospheres enough to think and talk    in
Me – you never drink?
Her – nope
Me – since how long ago?
Her – since forever
Me – interesting     so when I’m drinking special brew in the park, you’ll have Ribena  [incorporate it into the future projection]
Her – yes     exactly
Me – or Orangina    maybe Tizer or Irn Bru  [just dumbass, as if those details matter]
Her – yuck    i hate orange drinks     ribenas fine with me
Me – so, to recap……     our first date is gonna be    1. me getting drunk    2. while you cook rabbit food     3. no oranges (I like oranges)     it’ll be a disaster
Her – i like oranges    but not the drink    yeah i think so too    or i could bake a cake
Me – We’re gonna be so unhappy. It’ll be like a married couple 😀    YES!! CAKES!!!! I’m excited again  [lots of rapport now]
Her – while we drink lemonade and sit and take in love warm weather    the lovely*    with a slight comforting breeze    🙂  [she’s adding value]
Me – If we need warm weather, we’re gonna have to take a flight    where are we going [Her name]?    a beach somewhere?  [so it’s easy to run with it into another future projection]
Her – yes please    barbados i think     ???
Me – ok, I’ll ring up my friend and organise a good beach hut    There’ll be a few palm trees overhanging it, mind    A slight danger of falling coconuts
Her – its fine
Me – Can’t guarantee twin beds. So no trying to jump me in the middle of the night    I need love, trust, connection…..  [frame her as chasing]
Her – if anything drops on me im sure youll save me some how    loool
Me – OK, the first morning when we wake up, we’re gonna play in the sea
Her – you muppet
Me – you fraggle  [establish callback humour]
Her – whats a fraggle?
Me – “what’s a fraggle?” she says……
Her – ok fine but if i drown youll try and save me right???
Me – you look like Red, from the beginning of Fraggle Rock    Yeah, I’ll save you. Maybe splash you a bit    What colour bikini you gonna be wearing?  [starting to sexualise it]
Her – hmmmm havent decided yet    suggest a colour?  [telling me she wants to be led, however I do want her to do some work in this]
Me – I like girly girls usually, so maybe pink or light blue
Her – (im very indecisive)
Me – It has to match my red speedos  [more playfulness, getting her thinking about me naked]
Her – nooooo
Me – like in 300
Her – i hate being a girly girl    black it is    or purple    well maybe pink if its a nice shade of pink    (p.s love 300…best film ever…men waking around in just their underwear…genius)
Me – Did you know I was almost in that movie?
Her – whatever    you liar!!    are you lying??
Me – I was gonna be Leonidas
Her – im not sure now
Me – But then they’d have to rename it “1”    😀
Her – you muppet
Me – you fraggle
Her – so do you cook then?
Me – I like cooking when its for lots of people    not so much when its just myself    I’m pretty good at Japanese food
Her – cool
Me – I’m thinking of cakes    So anyway, once you’ve chosen your bikini we gotta go play in the sea    I’m gonna have a big inflatable crocodile    You’ll have some little girly beach ball    and inflatable arm bands so you don’t drown
Her – sound wonderfully wierd    sounds*    can we go to the spa please    get a lovely massage  [she’s asking permission, so she definitely enjoys being led and looking to the man for approval]
Me – I’m not massaging you. Well, not unless you laugh at all my jokes  [I’m demanding. She’s chasing]
Her – shut up    your so silly    and by a professional
Me – Ok, I’ll take you to the spa and leave you there so I can go to the boxing gym
Her – ok sounds like a plan
Me – I’ll be properly sweating mind. I’ll be training hard. So we’ll have to jump in a jacuzzi after
relax  [more imagery]
Her – hmmmm if its relaxing why not    then dinner afterwards    or a nap whichever really
Me – I think dinner then a nap. Food makes me sleepy    You’d have to change out of your bikini    wear something elegant    ideas?
Her – nope    none at all
Me – let me see    …    wait
Her – (indecisive)
Me – I found a nice red top. It actually looks like you

 

It never gets old

Her – your so mean    im not talking to you now
Me – 😦    you keep calling me a muppet
Her – thats me appreciating your funny side
Me – 😛    I think a dark purple evening dress    Quite short, thin material. It’ll be hot in barabados    no sleeves    so it’s quite sexy but not vulgar
Her – i agree    i have a dress just like that actually  [qualifying]
Me – Cool. +10 points for you    …  [rewarding]
Her – 😛
Me – I’ll have a suit. Like James Bond.    But not the gun
Her – damn
Me – don’t need it. My hands are deadly!
Her – a gun would have been cool    loool    how about the aston martin
Me – Maybe. But only if they have the rockets, wheel spikes, and ejector seat  [because these details matter]
Her – we could try and get that    sounds like an adventure ahead    🙂 [she likes the idea of adventure]
Me – but you have to be my spy partner [roleplay begins]
Her – ok    😀
Me – seducing the Russian billionaire while I open his safe    but don’t enjoy it too much    it’s still technically our first date, so you’re still my girl  [sexualise, own her]
Her – hmmmmmm    ill try not to    😦    but do i get to kill anyone?    or do you get all the fun?
Me – you get to kill a few anonymous flunkies in non-descript boiler suits    a few fall over railings into shark tanks     I kill the serious opposition
Her – fine then
Me – You concentrate on looking sexy
Her – but i get to fly a plane at some point    loool
Me – Because after the big fight scene we move on to the do-they-don’t-they love scene  [this is a natural progression in the movie. We are now talking about us having sex, but in a safe way and where I have let her know it’s not a done deal]
Her – hmmmmmmmm    and the credits roll in at that point     🙂    everyones left guessing  [she’s had the opportunity to show demure coyishness, which I like. Note also she never actually stated a “we won’t have sex” rejection]
Me – Or if this is too much effort for a first date, we could just go to McDonalds for a happy meal    and I’d keep the toy  [release]
Her – hate mcdonalds    cant we just go to a nice turkish or Lebanese restaurant    you order veg n ill order meat    🙂     have some shisha n hot chocolate n a lovely chat  [telling me a date she’d like to have with me]
Me – I’ll think about it. Can you dress Lebanese?  [so I set it up for….]
Her – hmmmm ill think about it
Me – What are you wearing now?  [….my favourite question]
Her – right now?
Me – yes
Her – my pjs
Me – cute?
Her – yh    funnily enough pink
Me – Nice    Are you in bed now?
Her – yh sitting on my bed on my laptop
Me – I’ve finished all my vegetarian duck. I’m onto the last few prawn crackers now  [snip, don’t jump at the chance for more sexualisation]
Her – you fatbum
Me – I like to be fat for winter. Penguins can do it
Her – well summers coming youve got to start getting your beach body ready!!    you dont want to be looking fat in your bikini now do you??    😛
Me – Now I’m really shy :/    How do you look naked?  [pretty good to be asking this outright so early and not seeming uncalibrated]
Her – erm now that would be telling you too much now wouldnt it
Me – If I don’t ask, I don’t get.  [no backtracking]
Her – you make me laugh to much    too*  [IOI, accepts the legitimacy of my question]
Me – cool. When you’ve calmed down answer the question, woman
Her – im still not gona asnwer it    answer*
Me – OK. Tell me a secret
Her – hmmmm dont really have any    you tell me one…
Me – I asked you first  [defiant]
Her – ask me a question that i can answer    coz i really dont have any secrets    talk to much to have any secrets
Me – Ok    thinking    …..    how risque can it be before you get scared and run away like a little Ewok?  [the false dilemma – either she answers or she’s an Ewok]
Her – dunno    depends on the person    and what mood im in    😉    😛    to be honest with you im a good girl
Me – That’s indecisive, right there, that is    OK, I’ll give you an easy one    How many boys have you kissed, with tongues?  [sexual but not too strong]
Her – ive only ever had two guys in my life the first one did not last that long at all but the second one did so just the one
Me – I said kissed, not sex  [deliberate misunderstanding]
Her – hmmmm im gona scare you right now and tell you i dont sleep around
Me – why is that scary?
Her – ive never ever had sex with anyone
Me – actually, I have alot of respect for you now    +100
Her – lol
Me – I’m not joking you know  [reward]
Her – ok
Me – How often do you think abotu sex? You must still get horny often  [keep pushing because she’s offering only token resistance, not genuine “back off” signals. Also, this might be the first chance she’s had to talk like this to a man]
Her – looool    yh i get horny but i dont think about sex all the time not that often really    i day dream too much to think about anything normal
Me – day dream about what?  [I sense I have to back off a little, so I allow the tangent and move back into rapport]
Her – stuff…if things were different    my perfect job    sometimes i just go blank and just dont think at all    weird i know
Me – so long as you’re not driving when it happens
Her – hmmm yh that i cant promise sometimes    i think im the worst driver in the world    attention span of a fish
Me – So what were you just thinking about?
Her – i actually dont know    im trying to book tickets to the theatre    but i cant find any for the date that i need it for 😦
Me – I’m printing out my Latvia boarding pass. Woohoo
Her – 😦    lucky you    are you really a drug lord?    kingpin of some sort?  [she loves the playful stuff and wants more]
Me – International Dinosaur Hunter
Her – is that why you travel so much?    😦    drug lord sounded abit more fun  [she likes to pretend a risque edge]
Me – So we gonna snort coke from each other’s stomachs?  [sexual]
Her – yh sure something new i havent tried before    😀    yay    😛
Me – Me neither. I hope you don’t have a hairy belly    What’s your ass like. You never gave me a proper look when I asked?  [out of context this would be a very unusual collection of sentences]
Her – loool no    theres a reason for that    i dont like people looking at me    im a very conscious person    i think i have a nice backside  [coy but answers]
Me – I think you’re really cute  [It’s not all nudge-wink, sometimes it’s fine to just tell the girl why you like her]
Her – it looks great in nothing    looool    thanks
Me – You’ve got big saucer eyes, which I like. Racoon eyes    your skin colour is nice    and you’ve got a slim petite figure
Her – you idiot racooneyes    you make me laugh
Me – I’m guessing your ass is really tight. Like prodding a rubber ball
Her – you idiot    erm no comment
Me – = yes
Her – = im not saying
Me – Anyway, stop talking about sex stuff. I’m not that easy    Tell me something else  [retarded reframe like she’s escalating me]
Her – hmmmmm     whats your favourite colour in the whole world?    whats your favourite cake?    how many guys have you kissed ?    how many girls have you slept with?    whats your favourite film in the whole wide world?  [notice the one question she really cares about]
Me – ok. wait
Her – …
Me – 1. It really depends what object it is. But generally I like dark purple    2. Cheesecake    3. Don’t know
Her – ??? what do you mean you dont know
Me – Never counted  [I actually didn’t realise she said “guys” not “girls”]
Her – how many guys have you every kissed in you life time?    men….
Me – men?    zero
Her – are you serious its been that many    loool    now you get it
Me – 5. Fight Club
Her – you didnt answer my middle question?    😦    but its ok    what kind of cheesecake do you like?
Me – I will, if I get a good question in return    Strawberry  [defiance, make her work because I know she wants the answer]
Her – ok go on    ask me anything
Me – How many times have you masturbated in 2010 (estimate)?  [she did say anything]
Her – do you know hw you have self restrain with what you eat    i have the same restrain for that     (im sitting here laughing so much)  [she is not at all uncomfortable with this, the frame is so natural]
Me – Ok. I’m surprised. But I probably believe you    (you must get SO frustrated at times)    maybe that’s why you keep going blank all the time 😀  [frame masturbation as normal]
Her – hmmm    yh could explain that
Me – ok, my answer    I don’t know for sure, but probably 35
Her – yes………    hmmm ok
Me – I’ll admit, I like sex. I think it’s the most natural thing in the world  [an important frame for later, assuming this progresses to dates]
Her – i dont doubt that    its normal    so how many one night stands have you ever had?  [she’s seriously interested in my sexual history. Why? Because she’s sexually interested in me]
Me – Not so many    I’ve usually been in relationships
Her – so most of them were your girlfriends?    wow    how long was your longest relationship?
Me – Hang on, I get 2 questions now    deal?  [no freebies]
Her – ok    ok
Me – wait a mo, gotta log back in
Her – ok
Me – Longest relationship was 9 years [True. Demonstrates ability to have a successful relationship]
Her – wooooooow
Me – My 2 questions
Her – ok
Me – 1. What do you most like about men?    2. What is the sexual thing that interests you most to do (and maybe you are too scared to try)?
Her – 1. i like silly jokes n stories
Me – haha, that’s me :O oh dear
Her – loool thats alot of guys    im easy to please
Me – -5 points for being easy pleased    second question please  [I don’t go for low hanging fruit]
Her – if you can make me laugh and i dont hate you then its all good    😦    i really have no clue about the second question
Me – you’ve seen movies, read books  [make it easier for her to get the ball rolling]
Her – so    i dont have anything i want to try    maybe when i start having sex ill be a butu more curious  [“maybe when I start…” has an air of inevitability]
Me – it’s just fantasy talk. Not necessarily what you try, just what you have an interest in
Her – i genuinely don’t know
Me – Ok, I’ll rephrase
Her – ive answered your queston now right?
Me – Which movie sex scene excites you most?    answer that, then you’ve answered my question  [lead her into an easier way to answer]

Me – movie scene?
Her – yh

Her – loool
Me – Did you get horny watching it?
Her – i am not answer anymore questions its your turn

Her – do you miss her sometimes?
Me – Never. I used to, especially the first 3 months afterwards

An anniversary

February 7, 2011
krauserpua

Today was the 2nd anniversary of my wife walking out on me. The single worst day of my life. Or at least, that’s how it felt at the time. So, zoom forward two years and let’s look at how today went.

Bengali – I wake up 11am and after getting ready I’m waiting for Moran to get his shit together so we can do some free approaching coaching for some local forum guys. I strike up a quick Facebook chat with my 20 yr old Bengali target.

Bulgarian – My second demo set for the students is a lovely 23 yr old brunette dressed entirely in blue. I open her saying her tights have the same pattern as my grandad’s sweater. Strong hook. 15 minute set. We’ve been texting tonight to set up a date.

Uruguayan – I have a couple more weak demo sets then hook big time with a tiny 21 yr old throwabout who only arrived in London three days ago. I instant date her for a few hours (see video). Take the number, then I have to meet back up with Moran because he is trying to set me up with…..

Norwegian – A stunning 19 yr old tall blond girl. An easy nine. Moran pulled and SNL’d her equally hot friend on Wednesday and probably felt guilty for SNLing my target on Friday (a legendary night that might get it’s own post). So he feeds me this girl. Two hours later in a pub she’s pretty much climbing over the table to get me, unconsciously wanking off her pint glass as her eyes spazz out. We helped them choose dildos in a sex shop and then had some facebook sex chat.

English – The button nose girl from a legendary sexting is swapping texts with me again. I had her frigging herself to orgasm on Wednesday evening over the text messages. Maybe I’ll do a post on that later. 22 yr old. An eight.

Nigerian – The English-born man eater. I told this girl to delete my number a few weeks ago. I changed my mind and decided to LJBF her today. She agrees and says I should drop around her house sometime soon.

Lithuanian – This 21 yr old is gradually falling in love. She sent me another three sex photos tonight and future projected a sexual scenario for me.

Thai – My 23 yr old Thai who I’ve been dating for about 8 months now recently told me she wants to break up so she can find a normal boyfriend. She got drunk tonight and sent badly mis-spelled texts about how much she misses me. She’s lovely.

That was Sunday.

More work with Skeletor

February 4, 2011
krauserpua

I had a fear of enlightement. Call it a success barrier if you will.

There are many positive things I’ve been able to internalise in my life. For year after year I always came top of the class in every subject. Literally from the first year as a little shit-cake baker five year old playing in the sandpit between classes, right up to my school leaving exams. Always the best, in everything. But I went to a shitty school so I wondered if I could still be top at college. I was. But it was a shitty college. Finally I went to a top university and it took a full academic year before I realised I was smarter than everyone else. Then I went into business for a top consulting firm and again I wasn’t sure I’d rise to the top of my peer group but I did.

In the face of such consistent positive feedback over literally two decades I have fully internalised that I am among the top 1% of men intellectually. I project as such with serene confidence.

That’s the plus side. There’s other things where I haven’t been able to internalise the leap to greatness. Since getting involved in game this has held me back from believing I am at the top of the value pyramid, or as Skeletor would say in his fiat currency analogy – “the guy who owns the printing press”

Regular manosphere readers will be familiar with the idea that men own the extremes of the bell curve and women own mediocrity. Because reproductively women are “where its at” they just need to exist and not breakdown in order to pass on their genes. There is no selective pressure in nature to reward mutation and punish mediocrity. Hence all the select pressure and thus evolution is on the male side. Men inhabit a wide spectrum of mutation and ability, compete strongly, and over time the top 40% reproduce. This is why every achievement that’s ever happened was acheived by a man. Just go to wikipedia and get a list of inventions. Here’s a handful:

  • Johannes Gutenburg invents the printing press. Mass literacy becomes possible.
  • Luca Pacioli invents double entry booking, the bedrock of modern business administration.
  • Christiaan Huuygens invents the pendulum clock setting the stage for effective timekeeping.
  • James Hargreaves invents the spinning jenny which massively increases productive capacity of weavers.
  • Claude de Jouffroy invents the steamboat and thus reliable long distance travel.
  • Benjamin Franklin invents spectacles.
  • Edward Jenner invents vaccination and single-handedly cures small pox, the largest killer of urban populations.
  • Michael Faraday invents the electric motor.
  • George Stephenson invents the steam locomotive that allows heavy industry to move its products and people to move between urban centres quickly and easily.
  • Samuel Colt invents the revolver. Useful for pacifying savages.
  • Crawford Long invents anaesthesia

Men own the top and bottom. As loyal readers and devotees of self improvement you are quite likely somewhere in the top half of the male value pyramid. Don’t pay attention to the total size of the pyramids, just their relative heights. The central points to take on board from it are:


– The best men are higher value than the best women. A female 10 is lucky to get a male 9 or 10.
– There are more girls cute or better than their are high value men.
– Some men are too low value for even the lowest quality fertile women.

One of the most helpful passages in my talks with Skeletor has been how he has impressed upon me that once you’ve already acheived the reality of getting to the top end of the pyramid, the big challenge is to start believing you are there. That requires a big leap of faith. If you genuinely have the value, this video is great for helping you believe it.

London Daygame – One set, one kill

February 1, 2011
krauserpua

It’s the second day in my attempt to rouse myself for a full week of daygame. Jimmy has a touch of the squirts from a dodgy burrito yesterday so he’s a shambling shell of his former self but still managed to come out. Almost immediately his arse betrays him and he has to sit in a pub near a toilet. So we camp there.

I do a warm-up set on a girl who looks good from a distance but up close isn’t above my quality threshold. She’s fun so we chat for ten minutes then I let her go. Almost right after a proper Krauser girl goes past. I open and instant date. She’s a cute little Russian chipmunk and well into me.

The first half hour is Jimmy and I double-teaming her with the DHV overload machine until she’s well impressed. Then I signal him to give me isolation and we move to some sofa chairs in the back so I can run comfort and qualify her on her ice skating competitions. She’s well up for another date and gives me a tits-first hug that gives me a good approximation of what it’ll be like to fuck her. Good set and it’s already getting dark so I leave it at that. Here’s the video.

One thing this video proves is you don’t have to run a perfect set to get the girl. I talk too much, too fast, and often cut her off but it doesn’t matter. She’s into me, and even on a bad day my game is tighter than any other man she’s met.

London Daygame – A big freeze then it thaws

February 1, 2011
krauserpua

Jimmy and I are thinking of hitting a full week of daygame, trying to get into stride for our the upcoming jaunt to Latvia. We want some new infields, some new local targets, and try some stuff out. It’s blisteringly cold as we shuffle around Camden Market. Very few nice girls on the streets. There’s not even many shoppers. We struggle to find sets.

After a couple of hours we are having to use mental discipline. Finally I get lucky and spot a Russian model hiding under a hat and crappy clothes. I’m not that easily fooled. I open. See the first set on the video. She’s very challenging at first and like most Russian girls just won’t crack open for the first minute. I plough, she steals the frame and I figure I might as well go with it because it’s my first real set of the day. She gives me a lovely smile on the close but it still feels weak. I’m surprised she accepts the add, and more surprised still when she comes online at midnight and I get the following half hour chat out of her (see below video).

I meet Jimmy in a pub to warm up the old bones and he’s in set with an Aussie girl. Aussies don’t count so we head back out. We’ve done a three set of beautiful Portuguese tourists. My target is into me giving me the sparkling eyes / beaming smile routine and Jimmy’s is into him but she won’t talk. Suddenly she cockblocks and the set is dead. Boo!

I’m writing the day off when it takes a sudden upswing. Jimmy goes chasing a girl down the street but she’s not much up close so he doesn’t open. While he’s gone I see a stunning 6ft Russian walk towards me. She’s not my type at all but objectively beautiful. If she dolled up and walked into a club on your arm then every last one of the punters would assume you’re a rock star. Unbeatable arm candy. I’m conflicted. I feel cold to her, no blood-bubble at all and yet I know she’s hot and a 100% Jimmy girl.

I wait. Thinking. Confused.

Then I see Jimmy on his way back. Ok, I’m gonna give him a set. I stop the Russian.

She stops easily and gives me a beaming smile. She hasn’t even heard my opener, she’s just in a great mood to be opened. I briefly reconsider taking the set for myself but I think I really am not into this type of girl. I mumble to stall her, asking about her English and where she’s from. Then as Jimmy approaches I say she looks exactly like his ex-girlfriend and it’s a weird coincidence, they could be twins. I call J-Bone over and he’s expecting to wing which doesn’t usually happen when I’m in a one-set. I re-run the opener, tell him in code that she’s not my target, then once they swap a few sentences I pretend my phone is ringing and get out of there.

Jimmy knows the score and spends ten minutes working till she thrusts her number onto him. Meanwhile I see an adorable Brazilian walk past and I know karma has rewarded my selflessness. If I’d messed around with the Russian I’d have been ruled out of the Brazilian. I run over and open saying her pigtails are very Japanese and cute. She’s a super-strong hook immediately. Five minutes on the street and I bounce her for coffee. Watch the video – that’s what a Krauser girl looks like and she’s massively into me [sound is out of synch though]. Jimmy plonks himself upstairs so I go up to have a word. As I come back, half an hour into the date my girl has written her contact info on a paper and tells me she’s arranged to meet a friend for dinner but wants to go out again with me. I add the facebook.

A cold day but alls well that ends well.

Facebook chat with Russian model (not my girlfriend, a different Russian model)

Me – she’s checking me out……  [the approach wasn’t very sexual, so try to hint it here]
Her – and by “she” you mean?…  [playful shit test]
Me – some Tartar girl    kinda cute but a bit quiet  [set the frame – either I’m wasting my time or I’m not. I need to find out]
Her – Tartar    lol    what makes you think i’m checking you out?  [trying to keep “audition” frame]
Me – I can’t believe you didn’t laugh at my joke about the sauce    I was really proud of that one  [Snip. Remind her of the approach]
Her – oh I’m sorry
Me – -5 points
Her – what…
Me – (my internet is bad tonight)    You said Manchester, didn’t you?    Going to visit friends [Snip. Some simple comfort]
Her – so is mine but whatever    yes i did  [totally uninvested right now]
Me – I’ve only been there once. I liked it. But everyone was wearing tracksuits    It was the age of Oasis  [she’s giving me very little so I try to shift it to something interesting]
Her – interesting  [I’m close to calling it a dead set now]
Me – really, how?  [Last chance for her to do a bit of the work herself. I’m not a pushover]
Her – why would everyone wear tracksuits  [ok, she’s not being too rude]
Me – [link to photo] a weird cultural thing

A cock-munching street homo

Her – and this is our weird cultural thing i guess  [great, she adds her own value. It’s just a shit test]
[photo of matching tracksuit bottoms, but on a gangly awkward Russian chode]
Me – a perfect match!    is that Russian?
Her – the trousers aren´t originally RUssian but so many people wear them there
Me – wow, you’ll fit in well at Manchester    People will think you are a local  [tease]
Her – i don’t!    i don’t wear those  [hit!]
Me – maybe if you put on some weight. Ate lots of kebabs and fish and chips [run with it]
Her – oh nooo    i think im fine the way i am right now..  [some emotional investment]
Me – you could get really drunk on cheap cocktails, then vomit in the street    like the Manchester girls  [in for a penny, in for a pound. This is the first stirring of emotions I’ve gotten so I’m gonna keep stirring]
Her – ew stop it  [hit!]
Me – 😛  [and release]
Her – gross!    i don’t do that lol  [she’s engaged now]
Me – so anyways, have you had a good day?  [comfort]
Her – yeah it was pretty good  [terse]
Me – any highlights?  [prod]
Her – a nice dinner at a spanish restaurant i guess
Me – tapas?    I love patatas bravas 😀
Her – yup
Me – I took my friends to Malaga a year ago and we spent all week in the tapas bars, and local bars    We’re going again in April  [I guess she’s just not gonna open up]
Her – must have been fun 🙂
Me – Great memories    Have you travelled much?    Did you say you grew up in three places?  [show her I actually listened a bit]
Her – i haven’t travelled that much… but i did live in Greece and the US for quite a long time
Me – do you speak Greek?
Her – not really    i was brought up by my own parents, not by Greek people after all    unless eating lots of olives and feta cheese counts  [she’s softening a bit, joking a little]
Me – it counts    a little bit  [reward but not too much, she doesn’t deserve it]
Her – good
Me – Do you feel like a wanderer?    After I lived in Japan for so long, I kinda lost some of my roots    It’s not a bad thing. Just different  [drive-by DHV, talk about emotional topic]
Her – nope, i was too young then    you lived in Japan?  [mild IOI]
Me – 5 years  [not gonna jump immediately into giving value, make her ask for it]
Her – that’s a lot
Me – I love Japan so much. Had a great time    I spent the first year living in a tiny fishing village on a tropical island there    Have you heard of Okinawa?  [DHV]
Her – sounds familiar
Me – hang on    …    I sometimes had picnics from this mountain     [link]

Really, I did live here

Her – that looks great
Me – So beautiful. I had my own private beach    sort of   The island had only a few thousand people    I taught in the Junior High School there for a year    My house was by the beach. In the evening I’d brew a mug of hot coffee, then walk to the sea wall    I could sit on the wall and just look out across the sea for miles, listening to the waves hit against the wall    very relaxing    I’ve loved being near rivers or the sea ever since  [paint a picture]
Her – what did you teach there?    must have been a great time  [I still haven’t figured out if she’s like this with everyone or just not much interested in me. Probably the latter, but if she keeps talking I’ll get her eventually]
Me – English    Yeah. After London, it was a big change. I didn’t want to leave. I got to know everyone there. The kids were great    I used to have morning coffee with the mayor every
Her – nice
Me – do judo with the boys
Her – so 5 years right?    that’s a long time  [she’s just prodding me into talking more. I figure there’s nothing to lose by doing so. Painter is sending me naked photos in a concurrent facebook chat so I need to be online anyway]
Me – 1 year in Okinawa, 4 years in Tokyo    I was in a private high school teaching for 2 years in Tokyo    loved it    but I also did lots of kickboxing there    lots more nightlife in Tokyo, obviously    Where’s your favourite place?  [DHV then question]
Her – Athens and [her hometown] i guess    and I really like London as well
Me – very different    what’s cool about [her hometown]?
Her – okaay I need to go to bed now. gotta get up early tomorrow    I guess it’s just my hometown and that’s it
Me – Ok, get some sleep.    You leave on [a few days time]?  [tell her to do what she is gonna do anyway]
Her – it’s rather big but not too crowded and i like the weather changes   yes
Me – are you coming back to London before you go home?
Her – just for a day
Me – hmmmm
Her – even less than that
Me – wanna squeeze a coffee in tomorrow afternoon?  [no harm trying. Make her decide if she’s just passively leeching value or actually gonna commit to something]
Her – I’m not really sure because I had some plans but I might have some time    idk when exactly though
Me – ok    well, I’m busy in the morning but fairly good for after then    [my number]    text me if you want to
Her – ok i’ll text you tomorrow once i am done with the stuff i need to do    good night!
Me – sleep well    😉
Her – tnx you too

I’d say chances of the date are 30%. Chances of Long Game are about 70%. This was hard work, building a conversation out of nothing. It’s notable mainly for what is not in there. She has dozens of beautiful portfolio photos in her albums and I studiously don’t comment on them, I don’t IOI her for anything, and I only reward when she does something to earn it. She’s used to being told she’s beautiful. I don’t care. This is the same sort of conversation I’d have with a Seven.
