It was a good weekend Hustler - babes, beer and a nice comfy draw for the Mighty Leeds
Anywho, I feel for you in that situation at Bierkeller, but having read Nova and K's suggestions I'd have to agree with them. You know for next time, lesson learned, as they say.
From my point of view, Saturday was a really ace night. Admittedly, turning up smashed and spilling an entire pint down myself was less than wise, but after the P+P things looked up!
A note on the set that blew me out. I've had a good think about it, and have concluded that it was entirely my fault that they blew me out so mercilessly, and actually very little to do with their beauty (one was a 10, the other a fat 5). Here's why it went wrong (take note kids):
1) It was my first set of the night - my state wasn't high, and I forced myself to approach, thus inkeeping with the "approach early" mentality.
2) I opened completely spontaneously with "Hi, my name's Alex. What's yours?" but, because (or perhaps in spite of the fact that) I hadn't thought about how to handle the interaction, my mind went completely blank. In the instant that I opened, I got sucked straight into my head, and you could see in their faces that they knew it.
3) The ego kicked in. Realising that I'd blown it already, I negged. Harshly. I'm not proud of it, but it was an ego thing and was decidedly uncool. They ended up saying how rude I was and could I go away please. Which I did.
Now, it was fairly disastrous, but it at least broke through the "first set" barrier, and within another minute I was talking to a 9 at the bar. I told her the story of the girl that wanted me to rape her after she tried to convince me that her water (which I wanted) was pure vodka.
Also Hustler, on those strippers on the street corner, I've been thinking about them in the same way. On the one hand, they were hired guns who were supposed to be nice to us, but I'd be a fool to ignore the signals they were sending us. The black girl (Vanessa) was giving me all kinds of interest, and Leah was loving you! And anyway, there's no rule saying strippers don't get attracted to guys. There's every reason they'd fancy a couple of badass mother fuckers like us!
