Straggler Game & Swinggcat<\/span><\/h2>\n

.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Friday Night, and a bit of reminiscing…<\/p>\n

My buddy Jon (Aka Sinn) was in LA to conduct a super-conference and we had a chance to hang out a bit.\u00a0 As things worked out, we were joined by longtime “Dating Guru Swinggcat” and we decided to hit some of the local spots on Hollywood.\u00a0\u00a0 I hadn’t seen Swinggcat either for a while, so it was nice to catch up!<\/p>\n

Now, you have to understand that I don’t go out that much to bars anymore, and haven’t during this past year (Ever since my 60 day challenge which I blogged about) so I was a bit out of touch as to how various nightclubs are holding up currently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0The first place we stopped by was a bust, not because the place wasn’t doing well.\u00a0 To the contrary, the place was a madhouse, but our promoter contact was off that night.\u00a0 That’s sort of the nightclub scene, as different promoters handle different nights of the week.\u00a0 Show up when the guy you know isn’t working and you’re not getting in!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0After a brief stint at another venue, we decided to head back to the heart of Hollywood and hit up Les Deux.\u00a0 Last time I was at Les Deux was about a year ago, and the place was packed.\u00a0 It was one of THE places to be if you were going out.\u00a0 Long random formations of people dwelling outside trying to get in, red carpets, promoters, lists, and etc…<\/p>\n

**How things have changed in one year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Les Deux still requires you be on a guest list from a promoter and Swinggcat happened to know someone there.\u00a0 This is just part of the show for them to try and establish that they are a place that’s in demand and it’s an attempt to appear prestigious.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In reality, it’s like a Playboy playmate trying to charge you modeling fees, because she was hot in 1985,<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Les Deux wants to be hot, and yet, when you get in, half the place is empty and the other half is a somewhat ghetto crowd.\u00a0 There really aren’t too many people worth talking to, and the high rollers have all abandoned the place.\u00a0 This is just the Nightclub business days and this place really has followed the cycle of a nightclub very accurately.\u00a0 (See reference post about Nightclub cycles here:\u00a0 http:\/\/attractwomenanywhere.com\/blog\/2009\/04\/13\/the-business-of-nightclubs\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0In the entire place, there were really two girls that were actually pretty cute.\u00a0 Two blondes from “The Valley” who had somehow ended up here, and conversation with them was pretty much like equivalent of spending time in Guantanamo Bay: Torture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Although the really tall blonde did work her way to a bottle service area where she scored free drinks and then started to dance on the chairs in appreciation of free alcohol.\u00a0 At this point, I thought, “Wow!\u00a0 This’d make a great Blog Photo!”\u00a0 So I made the sacrifice.\u00a0 This is how committed I am to the Blog!\u00a0\u00a0 By taking this photo, I was categorized in the douchebag category in her mind, meaning there was no chance for an interaction with shit-for-brains, but it was well worth it to serve the Blog.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

So here is the photo of party blonde dancing on couches in the bottle service area for the readership.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0OK, you have the typical patters of behavior!\u00a0 Posing for Cameras, whoring for attention and douche with cocktail staring up at her in awe.\u00a0 (Not to mention Some asshole taking a photo, but it’s undercover work for the Blog, damn it!)<\/p>\n

\u00a0You will run into girls like this in L.A and other major metropolitan cities.\u00a0 You may think you need some supreme game, doing “Merge-sets,” pulling rabbits out of your hat, or throwing down lightening bolts like Zeus.\u00a0 That’s all nice, but in reality, it’s really simple<\/p>\n

Despite all of the “game” you study, whether it was some super cool routines you learned from Mystery, or some first class scumbag telling you about his “Nimbus,” or some woo-woo spiritual thing where you found you inner manliness while spending time with wolves in a remote forest somewhere, the formula remains the same.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0The most efficient<\/span> way to convince this particular type to leave with you, is to have minimal conversation, be dominant, and invite her to an after-party where you tell her there will be free flowing cocaine.\u00a0 It’s either go or no-go.\u00a0 Make it easy on yourself.\u00a0 If no-go, then cut your losses, and move on!\u00a0 Don’t analyze “How you should have gamed her better.”\u00a0\u00a0 It’s not the only way, and it’s not my style, but I have an obligation to tell you how it really is, and what the most efficient method would be!<\/p>\n

\u00a0There, I just saved you a 1000 dollars once again!<\/p>\n

\u00a0That’s a free tip to ya for reading my Blog ;-)\u00a0 If you’re payin for dating-advice from some super guru who is going to teach you the ultimate dating technique, you’re getting rimmed in the ass without the benefit of a reach around.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0All in all, it was fun hanging with guys and catching up.\u00a0 It also was revealing in that I discovered one of the reasons why I don’t enjoy going out to these places.\u00a0 Too often, guys are committed to staying the course.\u00a0 They want to stay at the club til 2 AM, until it closes.\u00a0 Problem is that after midnight, the quality of crowd plummets faster than Enron Stock after the scandal.\u00a0 Upon closing, then guys want to stick around switching to limping gazelle\/straggler game where they want to drag some drunk idiot home for a quick lay.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Not interested.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Once you go, you’re sort of stuck.\u00a0 It’d be nice to go, stay for 30-45 minutes, chat with a few people, and then get the heck out of there.\u00a0 However, as is the case with a lot of hotspots, there are so hoops to jump through that once people are in, they’re not leaving.\u00a0 There is a whole laundry list: Contact the right promoter, show up at the proper time, pay 20 or 30 Dollars to get in, and now you’re stuck at that venue.\u00a0 Too much vested just to get in.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Swinggcat is one of the guys who is committed to staying the course!\u00a0 If he has to stay up until 3, 4, 5, in the morning, so be it.\u00a0 He is committed to the hunt, and like a machine he will methodically try to capture something.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0As for me, it’s become increasingly harder to talk to people whom I jokingly refer to as “Scum of society,” a phrase which Jon seems to enjoy quite a bit.\u00a0 You could pretend to enjoy chatting with such people for so long.\u00a0 Eventually, they figure out you don’t think very highly of them….\u00a0 Sometimes, even then, they seem to still stick around wanting to talk to you even though they have a sense that you don’t think much of them.\u00a0 That’s the weird oddity in all of it.<\/p>\n

Which brings to me another unique dynamic: Limping Gazelle game.\u00a0 (or Scavenger game.) You could read about it here:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/attractwomenanywhere.com\/blog\/2009\/06\/15\/the-limping-gazelle-game\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Stragglers and those who seek them out create an interesting dynamic, and it should probably be explored more.\u00a0 You may or may not ever be interested in going that route, but most guys have at some point, and either way, it’s interesting to read about. \u00a0If you stay the course \u2018til bars close down, it’s an amazing thing to watch!\u00a0 There is a mad feeding frenzy of men trying to hunt down stragglers.\u00a0 It should be filmed and put out on Discovery Channel with the proper commentary!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0I’ll write more about that in another blog entry, or maybe I’ll do a podcast with Sinn about on the topic.\u00a0 “Stragglers” are a fun topic to discuss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Aside from all of that, it was good catching up with the guys, and a good reminder that I don’t miss spending hours upon hours in a nightclub anymore….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
