A Saturday-night-at-the-club Update.

Had to work Friday night (Friday night is my Saturday), because our new upper management, who are not even in the same building as us, told us we had too many employees, and laid off all of our temps. So now, in order to keep up production, we have to work overtime on Saturdays. I'm even back to running a machine most nights, which makes me the highest paid operator in the building :). I don't mind it so much, except that in a month or so when they finally realize that we actually did know what we were doing, we'll never be able to get those people back, and I'll once again have to train a whole bunch more people.

This recent overtime is great for the paycheck, but it's taking a huge chunk out of my free time. I had finally found a good place to sarge*, but it was my Friday Night place, so I guess I won't be going there for a while.

Haven't talked much with Amber this week. I think I might have OverQualified, and blown myself out. She is VERY shy, and I think that she was simultaneously attracted to my Alpha personality and intimidated by it. As the evening went on, I began to realize what was happening and dialed it back some, but it might have been too little, too late...

As I have mentioned before, I like Amber a lot. The problem I'm having is that I'm wondering if I like her for her, or because sarging is hard, and I am basically lazy. Had she been available tonight, I would have definitely tried to hook up with her instead of going out and practicing my game. My self-defined purposes for learning this stuff are.. A) As David D. says, "To get this part of my life handled" and B) Acquire for myself a medium sized (4-5) group of women to date at any one time. (MLTR's) Eventually, I may find the girl I want to marry, and that's great, but I'm starting this whole thing a little bit late in life and I'll need to date a LOT of women if I expect to find that special one. Plus, I just want to date a lot of women! :)

On the plus side, I'm also beginning to realize that as I remove more and more Limiting Beliefs, I'm finding that my natural tenancies are very similar to the skills I'm learning. Now that I'm past a lot of my personal, inner game obstructions, I find that I'm just doing the right things without even thinking too hard about it. I.E.: I did a Kiss Test on Amber without even realizing I was doing it.

Anyway, I went out tonight, and worked the club a little, but mostly I danced my ass off, cause that was the mood I was in. Then around 1am I realized my blood sugar was sliding down, so I shut down my night early and headed to Denny's for some Life Saving Munchies :) Tried opening a waitress there (not my waitress, but the only one there who recognized me.) but she was really busy and I never got anything going with her, even tho' she responded quite well to my opinion opener.

Let me expand on my opening. A couple weeks ago, I found THE BEST piece of C&F peacocking ever. It's a little green button that says "Kiss Me, I'm Irish (a good kisser)" with the word IRISH scribbled out. This little gem works great on so many different levels. First, it's TINY, so the girls have to get close to you to even read it. It's just the right mix of Cocky and Funny. And the best part is that most women mis-read it the first time they see it, and think it's a regular "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" button, or they'll say "It's not St. Patrick's Day yet, why are you wearing that?" and you can gently correct them.. "No, that's not what it says, come closer and read it again." So far, EVERY woman who has done this will bite and ask "So, ARE you a good kisser?" How sweet of a setup is that? If I can find any more of these little beauties, I'll buy them all, just to have around and give out to aspiring PUA's :D

I called this my opinion opener, because (True Story) Lucy keeps telling me not to wear the button, cause even tho' it's not REALLY a St. Patrick's Day thing, it kinda is. So, I'll say "I need your opinion on something. My friend keeps telling me I shouldn't wear this button when I go out... What do you think?" I've discovered this works great on individual women, but even BETTER on groups. In any group of three or more drunk women, there will be at least one who is willing to kiss some guy she barely knows on the flimsiest of pretexts.

So that's it for this post. I think posting about my progress is helping me to learn from my experiences.

*I realize that I'm suddenly using a lot of terms that my long-time readers (Hi mizarchivist!) won't understand. Here is a link to a web page that has most of the definitions for Pick-Up Artist (PUA) acronyms. (BTW: I really hate the term Pick-Up Artist, as it evokes images of sleazy guys in leisure suits asking disinterested women what their "sign" is. But it's the appropriate term for the material and techniques I'm learning, so what are ya gonna do?)
