I want to quit

Last night we went to our usual hunting grounds.
I opened more sets than I had the previous weekend, but, they all flaked. Some of them, I just left mid-sentance because I realized that the set I opened were two women who were not too smart and not really capable of conversation. I realize that when opening, we, PUAs, have to supply 90% of the conversation, but there are times when I am qualifying a woman and see that she is not holding my interest and it is time to choose better. Last night, my Wing opened a set and the target was really in to him. The target's friend was one of those silly, immature creatures who would not have gone in to a nightclub had her friend not dragged her in. She was better suited for venue where the DJ turns Hannah Montana and not where he plays Lady Gaga. I tried to occupy her and get her off her texting her little boyfriend back home at school (She was here on spring break) not to get anywhere with her, but merely to entertain and occupy her long enough for my Wing to be able to isolate his target. It was obvious that his target wanted to spend some time with him, but the clingy tag-along was keeping her anchored (in the physical sense not NLP sense) and she couldn't abandon her. It is a puzzle I still have to figure out, that is, how to be entertaining and occupy even a dull, confused girl to help my Wing.

I have lost interest in getting phone numbers. A number close ( #-close ) is not really a close. Women give their phone numbers just to placate, as well as a gesture of compliance in that moment, with no intention of answering the phone if you call them back. I realize that I am being impatient, and that if I woudl to get the number, and then after work on craeting more Comfort (in the MM model) that there would be a greater degree of success when calling her back, but, that just proves what I had said earlier, a number close is not a close, it is merely a gesture or token of compliance. Even a k-close is not a real close. Only an f-close is a real close. I am not saying that the f-close has to be completed the same evening. I understand now, that the goal shold be to create a Cascade where there are several projects being progressed at the same time, so that if you are running four or five ( or six ) girls, setting up meetings ( NOT DATES!) then you are cascading an f-close with each one. (This is not my idea, but some mPUA's who I just read about.) The idea being, not to try to f-close the day you open her, but to always have new girls you are opening, meeting and closing in parallel. On the other hand, I am less interested in f-closing strings of women, than I am in developing friendships and having willing pivots and workable pawns. I have been experimenting with intentionally opening and then progressing things so that I deliberately get put into the "friend" category. Sometimes, when a girl puts you in what we in PUA call "friend" category, it really is, "not-lover-&-I-hope-not-to-see-him-again" category. What I want is for the girl to put me in a cognitive category of "friend-and-I-want-to-hang-out-with-him-again-and-introduce-him-to-my-female-friends" category. It is a more useful relationship in the long run, since we both benefit more than if I f-closed and we disposed of each other. It is a seed which produces a tree of fruit rather than a single fish eaten and then gone.

I am also tired of most of the online PUA forums. The public stuff is mostly AFCs complaining about why some girl in their college or university won't bang them despite the fact that they have read The Game. I regret not having discovered the community when Usenet still ruled, before Neil published his book. I vaguely knew about it, but was too busy with grad school to seek it out and plug in to it. I confess that being a KJ / Keyboard Jockey is as tempting like arguing feminist political theory with a smoking HB10+ you meet as a friend's party, but, whereas, I can get an intellectual HB10+ to progress along from A to C to S, discussing this stuff with a KJ who is asking the same questions every newbie KJ asks about his ex-girl friend who left him when they went off to college or moved out of the dorms or whomever he is pining over, is not fun. That all can be expected, but, I realize now, the only solution to this is for me to isign up for Mystery and Matador's seminar. Then, I think I am going to take some David DeAngelo seminars. No, brothers, I am not suggesting I will become a seminar junky while castigating and commenting on the Keyboard jockies, but, if there is one thing I learned from John Grinder (cofounder of NLP) it is that if you want to learn a skill, seek out an expert and model it from him (or her). I had not followed that in the past, and have relied too much on reading books and reinventing the wheel. Although I have been going out three nights a week sarging, and have been practicing day game, at this stage, I have come to realize that reinventing the wheel is pointless, I am just going to have to learn from some experts.
