FR: Hooters waitress #close

August 2nd, 2009

Mambotango and I went to 3rd st Promenade yesterday to do some day game. It was a bad idea for me to go out. I was sick as a dog, coughing and sneezing every 5 minutes, but I promised him we’d go. Today I’m even worse off lol, it was bad idea to go out in the bloody sun. Oh well.

We did some damage on the streets but I wanted to focus on the hooters girl. We went to Hooters so I could show him how I do hired guns. It’s something I’ve been working on the last couple weeks. Stripper game I have pretty much handled now (although I want to find out how I can pull them the same night) but now I want to focus on girls who work in stores and waitresses. Once I have these girls on lock down, my next focus will be bartenders.

So my approach with waitresses is to immediately show that we are the “cool” guys. We sit down and our waitress comes over.

She is of course very friendly and all smiling. Instead of going with the flow, I want to go against the current (breaking rapport).

Her: Welcome to Hooters…blablabla….very friendly talk…
Me: (very friendly tone) Hi how is it going?
Her: blablabla
Me: (breaking tone) Can I talk to the manager?
Her: Sure, he’s right there.
Me: We want another waitress….ours is not smiling (pop out a big smile)

This works only of course when the girl is really friendly, almost to the point of super fake friendly, so I point out the opposite. Pointing out the opposite is something I do a lot. If she’s asian, I accuse of being black. If she’s super friendly, I accuse her of being grumpy. You get the idea.

Delivery is pretty key here. With bad delivery you just look stupid :)
Normally when I say “Can I talk to the manager” the girls get usually a bit offensive and say “why?”
It kinda threw me off when she said that he was right there, but I recovered well.

The reason I say that, or something with the same idea, is to get an emotional response as soon as possible. The worst case is to get indifference, like we just another customer. Any emotional response is better than indifference, because at least we have something to work with. You can always turn a bad response into something that reflects attraction. Indifference is when she is just “yeah, euhm ok, cool…” etc. So I want to test the waters as soon as I can with these girls. If she is indifferent, I’ll literally ask for another waitress hoping she is in a mode to be picked up.

So she laughs and I then I just act normal by ordering my drink. As she is leaving I ask her if they have the fried pig with an apple in his mouth on the menu. She says no and I accuse her of bad service with a big smile on my face.

She comes back with our drinks and then I again pop out something state based. When she walking towards our table, I made it really obvious as we were shit talking about her.
So I kept my hand to my mouth, leaned towards mambotango as if I’m about to tell him a secret, and said in loud way “oh no, here she comes!” so she could hear it, and then act normal.

She of course wanted to know what I said and I then accused her being snoopy. Then I saw she had an unique name and I motion her to sit down with us.

This is key to build some quick rapport. I already know I have maybe 2-3 minutes max with this girl, so I need to show her a normal side of me. I inquire about her name and apparently it meant “faith” in another language. She tells this long story about this and I show respect for it first. Then I break rapport by saying to mambotango: “Is she trying to impress us? Did it work for you?”
Basicly saying she is hitting on us.

What I usually like to say in that case is “yes I’m single.” Always gets a great response. Whenever a girl tells a long story, I show respect by smiling and nodding my head. Then I interrupt her later by saying “yes I’m single.” Again, setting the frame she is hitting on me. I could have done it in the above scenario too, but I wanted to try that above line. Seemed to work, gotta field test it more.

The key is calibrating teases with slight signs of interest. My teases sometimes can be really hard and on the edge (mambotango is 10x worse lol, he always is on the edge) so I calibrate that by always showing some sign of respect first and then a bit later on breaking rapport. That way you can don’t get the “mean” jerk or asshole feedback. The playful jerk or asshole feedback is usually what you want. Push/pull in essence.

Then I said something like “That’s really interesting.” Then I tell mambotango that I’m going to marry this girl. I do this ridiculous Vegas marriage where I at the end leave her broke in a casino.

Then I dismiss her by saying we need to some time to look over the menu. So I get the girl to sit down, build some quick rapport, spike her emotion and then dismiss her. I always want to her to leave on a high note.

We make our choices and she comes back. Also what is important is that I don’t want to set the precedence that I’m just the funny guy. So when she came back, I was just being normal and ordered my food. I’ll do this one of twice throughout the interaction.

She comes back with our food. I reel her in by doing an intrigue based routine. It was basicly a cold read on her being visual and creative. Well….apparently she was an artist. So that hit well. I inquire deeper about that and build a bit of rapport.

Mambotango then asked something about his food, it was missing something. I hold my hand on the side of my head to hide my eyes, in way I don’t want to be recognized by someone, and then say in way that I hope she won’t hear it (of course she does) : “oohhhh there goes her tip” and I look away. Then I immediately look at her all smiling so she knows it’s joke. Again, she leaves on a high note.

She comes back with some side for mambotango and we just act normal.

We finish our food and I know the next time she comes back, I’ll have her sit next to us and get another 2-3 minutes to do something. So she comes back and I can’t remember exactly what happened. We talked about something normal and then I transitioned into something state based. Basicly we got divorced and we were dealing with how to separate the properties. She leaves to get the check.

At this point I realized I didn’t give her a nickname yet. I want to use that for callback humor so I tell mambotango to initiate it since I calculated that he will be getting her number. Since I’ll be working and traveling the next couple of weeks I know I won’t have the time to work her. Even though I did all the work lol.

She comes back with the check. This is the time I know that he will have to get her number. He starts off by saying how if he was born a girl his name would have been Amber. He then asks what her name would have been if she was a boy. She doesn’t know so he names her Melvin.

Mambotango is gonna throw a poolparty so I basicly told her that and that she should come and bring her friends. I tell Mambotango to get her number and he #closes her. Since I’ll be gone for the next 2 weeks I hope he gets something done. Either he bangs her or some social circle. So mambotango, make daddy proud ;)

And then I realized I wrote way more than I wanted. Long post again.

+2 brownie points if you read everything.
