FR: Allow me to boast a little.......

On Saturday, our Crew went out sarging in West Palm Beach. Mr. Right and A-D came up from Miami (we had gone done to South Beach two weekends before and that previous Friday), D-Money didn't have far to travel, since he lives near me, and Nightwolf, my main wing and I all descended on our warm up venue.

Nightwolf and I have had long discussions about how we have to warm up, and have a few sets where we might flake out in order to get in to the mood for the main venue. It is about having fun so we go in to the next place feeling full of the right energy. Nightwolf and I showed up at the first venue before everyone else, and we waited for the otehr guys to show up. I kept thinking that I have to training myslef regarding the 3 second rule. That is, not wait to long after that moment of visual target acquisition to open the set. As we were waiting, I saw three women sitting at the outside bar area. I knew that if I had done my pre-gaming looking, desiring but taking no action, my night would be ruined. The otehr guys showed up, and I said, "Boys, I have to open that 3 set." Mr. Right smiled with that wonderfully infectious smile of his, and said to me, "Let's go over there to the bar and order something."

I love sarging with Mr. Right and Nightwolf. Both of them are great wings. Organically we have developed strategies for opening up 3-sets and up with both of us together, and then including our other wings. The three women were sitting in a sort of an L-shape at the bar. I opened the girl in the middle, but made sure I kept galncing with eye contact to include the other two women. Mr. Right stepped in, and although I cannot recall the opener I used, we quickly transitioned into a fun conversation that had a nice entertaining energy with the five of us. At some point, the other boys came over. It was the first set of the night, and we all wanted to be goofy, have fun, and get in to the mood. At some point, Nightwolf was standing next to me, and made the comment to me, "Too Intellectual".

He and I have been experiemnting with peer-coaching during set. It is amazing what you can tell you wing to help him and speek on a meta-process level in set without any of the targets getting it. With his prompt, I change my strategy. Then, and this is where I am going to boast, because it was the best palm reading those girls have and my boys had ever seen, I found some excuse to read the palm of the girl on the left. Palm reading is a great routine. It adds value to you, and allows you to initiate kino. It allows allows you to icreate some tension by using silence to focus on her hand in silence. Silence is a powerful tool for creating sexual tension. In any case, girl one was impressed with my reading. That is when girl in the center, my initial target, began chirping, "DO ME! DO ME!"

Nightwolf then in a voice louder than a whisper said, "Don't be the dancing monkeÿ". I smiled, but ignored his warning, in large part, because I wanted to show off my magnificent palm reading skills to my boys. I took her soft hand, and began telling her things. She kept on going, "Oh! My Gawd! How did you know?" After a few minutes, she said, "Oh! I have chills, I have goose bumps, I have to buy you a drink for that." As you all know,, I do not buy women drinks, but I sure will accept a drink from a woman! (I got a Red Bull. I do not drink alcohol when sarging-- Well, maybe one drink.)

When the third girl asked for me to read her palm, I decided not to be the dancing monkey.

So, I am boasting about my palm reading skills. When I asked girl two for her phone number, she said she doesn't give it out. She said the same for her email. Part of the problem is that I switched targets. I did not ask girl one, who was more impressed with my palm reading to give me her number. Also, because she bought me the drink, I became paid entertainment, rather than aguy who is interesting. I should have focuised on the target, and worked her by ignoring her after the reading, and then returning to her. I did use a neg in the palm reading, but did not continue in a direction toward closing with her.

In any event, the rest of the evening was terrific. Despite a close-fail, it was a set that brought all our energy up, and we entered the main venue charged up and feeling good!
