FR: Sleepover

Posted on May 1, 2011 by Latinstylez

Still tired from my trip to Manila I set off to Kaohsiung for the lantern festival to meet a few girls I knew. One of them, I met online and the other target was a friend of a friend. Before I was heading to the HSR station, I went on the MRT in Taipei and opened a couple sets. The first set had luggage with her and I asked her “Which stop is the main station?” She told me she was also getting off at that stop. She seemed a bit reserved at first, but I cracked a few jokes. Bt spiking works well when in attraction phase. I also made sure to write down some Mandarin phrases to write down and practice using in set. Thanks for the advice Blue.

We walked out of the MRT and I asked her “Can you help me get to the HSR station?” She walked with me and showed me where it was. Before I was about to leave, I asked her “Let’s get some coffee @ Starbuck’s you can teach me some Chinese hehe ;) ”She gave me her number and then I went to pay for my ticket to Kaohsiung. I wanted to grab some food before I made the trip so I went to look for an ATM since the person at the convenient store wouldn’t let me use my card. I went upstairs and walked past another convenience store… That’s when I ran into another cutie.

She walked out of the convenience store and I decided to open her. “Where’s the nearest ATM?” I asked her… She was looking around to help me find it, but after walking around the station she offered to get me some lunch. Pretty cool I thought. We walked over to the 7/11 and she asked me “What would you like?” I pointed to this pork and rice dish. “Thanks” I told her. I suggested to her we should hang out sometime and I took down her number.

I was off to Kaohsiung. The trip was relatively quick and when I arrived I had planned to meet with two different girls. In the MRT, I opened another set named HB Shiny. I call her Shiny cuz that’s what her nickname was. She was pretty cute and I asked her “How do you get to the cultural center?” She showed me and the thing I liked about her was her good energy. She lived in Tainan so I took down her contact info and told her we could plan a time to meet.

My logistics weren’t good since I didn’t have a place lined up for the night, but one of the girls I met in Taichung said her parents were okay with me staying the night @ her place. I wouldn’t really call that the greatest logistics, but I was tired and wanted a place to stay so I agreed.

I met the first chick then I made a bold last minute decision to have the two girls meet each other. This would be interesting because I sarged the two of them, but I wanted to try something different. We all met at Kaohsiung Train Station. We went around to a night market then over to the lantern festival, which was really cool. I highly recommend checking it out. They had street performers, a night market, and a fireworks display.

Afterwards, the three of us left the night market. The funny thing is that both girls were kinoing me and they also offered me their jackets since it was cold. I wanted to get isolation time with the girl that was hosting me. The other chick had a curfew anyway so once we got to the main station she left. I did find a nice Spanish restaurant on the walk back that I’ll do a write up on next time I’m in Kaohsiung.

I was tired, and HB Tall (tall, stockings, boots, blue contacts, nice makeup/style) and I went over to my locker to get my stuff. “You do want to stay the night here right?” she asked for verification. I told her “yes.” I had another option, which was get a hotel room, and then head there… I was quite tired though so I went with her back to her place. I also plan on meeting her this Thursday since I’ll be in Taichung then.

I had good kino compliance when we went back to her place by locking arms. We went inside her house and her mom was inside. I greeted her with “Ni hao ma.” She gave me a nice smile, but was on the phone. HB Tall went and set up my room for me while I went in to her brother’s room to check some emails. Her brother was gone @ the time.

When she came back in her brother’s room, I joked with her and said “You could sleep with me.” She laughed and said “I would, but my parents will get angry.” After I was done on the computer, we went over to her room where I would be staying. She was going to sleep in her brother’s room. I had some light kino with her (holding hands, hugs) while we drunk some Taiwanese aboriginal wine. We both gave each other massages and I went for the k close but she pulled back saying “No, not now.”

The door was shut at this time, and I knew that we were @ her parent’s house so I told her “I respect that and I know your parents are in the other room.” I was so tired that I fell asleep right after she went over to her brother’s room.

The next morning I awoke to her lightly saying “Wake up.” Her parents were gone for the day, but she had to leave around the same time I was heading to Taipei. She asked me “When will you be heading to Taipei?” I joked with her and told her that “Oh you want me to leave so soon?” She said “no” I just wanted to know. Her dog (the cockblock Chihuahua) I would like to call it kept coming in the room and ran around seeking attention.

She brought me some dumplings for breakfast and I had light kino with her. To make a long story short, I did go for the k close and we ended up making out. The dog kept running around her brother’s room during this time. It didn’t progress pass the make-out. She even referred to me as “dangerous” when I asked her to get the dog out of the room so we could be alone. Later, when we left her place to go to the train station she said something to the extent that’s she’s not a good girl in a playful way. What I also thought was interesting is when I touched her in certain places she made a moaning sound. Def an indicator of her being sexual…

She has her own place in Taichung, but with 5 cats. I am allergic to cats so that won’t work out. I asked her to book me a hotel room for that night near her place. We parted ways at the train station. She even bought me a huge Japanese style cookie… Very cool girl and I look forward to meeting her again.

When I reflect on this, I think that I should have lined up a hotel room. I also don’t know if it was a good idea that I met both girls at the same time, but it was nice to experiment with something different. I could sense a little bit of jealousy with the two of them during our time out. Nonetheless, it was a fun experience crashing @ my targets parent’s place.

7 Ways to Never Run Out of Things to Say

Posted on April 24, 2011 by Falcon

We’ve all been there. You’re sitting there, talking with a hot girl, and all you can think is, “This is a hot girl. I want her to want me. And I don’t want to say something stupid and mess this up.”

Here are a few solutions that I use pretty regularly:

1) Observations. Make an observation about ANYTHING around you. It could be, “Isn’t this weather great?” if you’re day gaming or, “Hey look at those two over there ya think they’re gonna hook up later?” if you’re at a nightclub. Women LOVE talking about people so if you can make a comment about people around you then they will have fun with it.

2) “So how do you and your friends here know each other?” Anyone who have ever been in set with me a lot knows I use that line about as frequently as Charlie Sheen uses prostitutes. It’s a SOCIAL question that will get your target talking and she will eventually say something you can easily make a comment on to continue the conversation.

3) LEAD her somewhere. Those of you who know what I teach or are familiar with social psychology know that I’m a big fan of INVESTMENT. Basically the more she says, “yes” to your requests the more likely she will be to say “yes” later. SO if you say something simple like, “Let’s go to the bar and get shots,” or “Let’s go outside for some fresh air,” or “Let’s find somewhere we can sit down and hear each other talk better,” not only is it something NEW and FUN to do and demonstrating that you’re a leader; it’s also making her start to invest in you.

4) Say something you notice about her OTHER than her looks. For example, all the time I tell women that I appreciate a woman with a sense of style or a woman who actually has a REAL passion for something and is going somewhere in life. Saying something like that to a woman will help establish the type of connection she possibly hasn’t had all her life. She probably gets compliments about her hotness 10 times a day but NEVER about where she’s actually going in life and spends most of her time during the week working towards.

5) Basic flirting. There’s a million ways to flirt; my favorite is playful cockiness and role-reversal and pretending like she keeps trying to have sex with me. Kill the silence with, “Listen I know my good looks are distracting but it’s okay to talk with me also,” or something like, “You know what we should do. We should travel the world teaching people how to be awesome. If we did that years ago then there wouldn’t be so many idiots on TV like the Jersey Shore and the Kardashians.” Yes I know, my lines are brilliant, however the important thing isn’t to use lines; it’s to understand the PRINCIPLES behind them because then you can create your own on the spot!

6) Just shut up. Seriously. A lot of my female friends complain about when they meet hot guys and then the hot guys talk too much and it comes off as insecurity and they get turned off. Enjoy a few seconds of silence by just looking around and smiling and she’ll probably eventually say something to you. Thinking SUCKS and it’s against our male nature so the less thinking you do the more comfortable you will feel and the more opportunities SHE will have to speak and ask the right kind of questions she needs to ask to feel comfortable enough to hook up with you later.

7) Preparation. Before I have REALLY good nights I’ll usually get ready 2 hours before I plan on going out then for the hour before I go out I’ll have an energy drink, listen to some good music, and IMAGINE every possible situation I could get into that night and how to handle it properly. If you are prepared for every possible situation then you will win every time. If you KNOW how you’re going to open groups and singles, what conversation topics you can start, you know the venue you’re going to be gaming at, what you can say to get your target’s friends on your side, how you’re going to handle possible AMOG’s, have possible closing locations in mind and prepared if you’re going for a same night lay, and you’ve set up every advantage possible then your game is going to be better than 99% of the other guys who you will be competing with you for that target and you will be her best option.

Exclusive! Naughty Nomad Interview…

Posted on April 17, 2011 by Latinstylez

One of my friends mentioned the Naughty Nomad blog to me. I got a chance to check it out and I found it very informative. You will read about NN’s interesting stories about his travels around the world. I decided to interview him for you guys. Hope you enjoy the interview.

Basic Questions

1) How did you get into pickup?

Like most people, it starting with “The Game” by Neil Strauss. My Dad actually bought the book home after hearing about it on the radio. After I read it I convinced most of my friends to read it. My journey started there…

2) What is your dating philosophy?

Destroy young girls lives. But seriously, I’m all about variety. I only date women from other nationalities or ethnicities (non-exclusively of course). I’m very honest with girls about my lifestyle; most of them have no problem with my non-commitment. I travel too much. I’m of the opinion they’re lucky to catch me while I’m around.

3) How did you get good at dating to become an authority on it?

Mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes. I tried everything. I spent so much time trying to emulate the gurus in the community, but it wasn’t until I developed my own style, one which I felt congruent with, did I start to see a big difference; the quantity and quality improved.

I’m no pick up guru; I’m just a specialist in exotic women. Each country is like a code waiting to be cracked. I found western game often faltered with linguistic and cultural barriers and I wanted to break past that. Over the years I had to develop new techniques to cater for different scenarios in other countries. Some shit worked, some didn’t. A lot of the stuff I was trying didn’t exist in the pick-up lexicon – things like shoring, pipelining and crunching (see blog). These were thing that sky-rocketed my flag count. Before I knew it, all my friends were using my techniques to pick up when they travelled. I was part of a new frontier – pick-up for the vagabond. I started the Naughty Nomad blog and viola.

4) What do you think guys greatest mistake with women is?

No cajones. The number one reason why most guys aren’t successful with women is the fact they never go up and talk to them in the first place. Approach Anxiety will forever be man’s downfall. Furthermore, a narrow mind. You’d be surprised the amount of men who simply refuse to read books like “The Game” on ‘principal’. Guys like us who are willing to educate themselves on social dynamics, will forever have the advantage.

5) In your experience, what is the best place to find a quality girlfriend?

I guess it depends on your values. If were talking about aesthetic quality, I’d say Eastern Europe. If were talking about quality characteristics, I’d go for Asian or African woman. It’s hard to come up with a generic answer.

6) What are some ways to enlarge your social circle?

Befriend more women. It took me a while to develop healthy platonic relationships. Other ideas? Start a band. Take up new sports. Join societies in college. Learn to Dance. Learn a language. Do a course. Go out more and travel. Try something new. Have a fucking life.

7) What was your life like when you weren’t good with women? What is it like now?

Frustrating and lonely. I used to get depressed and craved intimacy. I had zero confidence. I used to just stay indoors and get stoned with my mates.

What is it like now? Busy! But that’s not a bad complaint. I’m feeling pretty good these days, but sometimes you feel a little shallow and empty… I’ve hurt a lot of people. Life is about balance and I’m still trying to find it.

8) What is one of your favorite techniques/tactics?

Extreme peacocking. For those who don’t know, in September some friends and I spent 24 nights in a row travelling through the Balkans dressed as a Mexican Pirate. It was a blast.

I also tend to employ things like jealously plot-lines, anchoring and going caveman.

I’m pretty direct, but my opener is always the same “Where are you from?” Then I whip out some words in their language or some stories /knowledge from the country. It gets the ball rolling and it plays to my strengths.

9) Do you use props? If so, what gets the most reactions?

Sometimes. As mentioned, I peacock a lot. Mexican pirates get the best reactions. When I’m with my crew we buy kid’s party hats and put them on cute girls in the bar to anchor. Sometimes, I whip out my iPhone to do the work for me by showing girls some whopper pics, like my name tattooed on my crazy ex-girlfriend’s ass.

10) What is your biggest sticking point?

Approaching and transitioning – I don’t like to use canned material so I have to rely on situational openers or being direct. Sometimes, I go blank. For all my experience, Approach Anxiety still creeps in – especially when I’m sober! haha

11) What pick up artist has inspired you the most? What did you learn from them?

The Venusian Arts Handbook by Mystery is probably my core text. I’ve also used material from De Angelo, Jeffries, Style & Vin de Carlo. A lot of stuff I needed to learn was inner game based; you need to have the fundamentals. I found De Angelo provided the bones while the others provided the meat.

12) Describe the moment when you realized you need to work on this part of your life.

I was in my second year in college and I hit a 6 month dry patch. I swore to myself, never again.

13) What advice do you give to newbies starting out?

Find guys on the same wavelength. Get out there. Read everything, try everything, and make mistakes. Repeat. The key thing is stepping outside your comfort zone.

14) In your experience, what is the biggest issue for guys getting attraction from women?

They think too much or come across as too needy. Girls can pick up if you’re treating an interaction like a chess game. She’s not a playstation. You can’t copy and paste techniques and expect a certain response. Relax and have fun.

15) What are your goals for the community? Your life?

As for the community, I’m doing my part taking this game around the world. I’m happy to pave the way, but I’d like to see more guys like yourself writing about. There’s just not enough info. Personally, I want to visit every country in the world before I’m 35. Then I’ll pick a sexy foreign wife and have multi-racial, bi-lingual superkids.

Specialized Questions

When did you start your blog and what made you start it?

I started the blog in April of last year. I was living such a crazy life and I wanted share it with people. I also felt there was a serious lack of info for single guys looking to hook up in foreign countries. I wanted to help fill that void.

How did you get the name Naughty Nomad?

It literally just popped into my head one night in bed. The next day I bought the domain name.

You’re quite the traveler! What made you want to start traveling? How many countries have you been to?

I’ve been to 58 countries now, including Antarctica and a few self-proclaimed republics. It all started on my trip to Antarctica when I was 18. It was the best experience of my life. In was then I found my vocation – to vacation. Since I was a little kid I always dreamed about being an explorer. The trip rekindled that passion. Now I refuse to accept an alternative destiny, at least in the medium term.

What was the most interesting country you’ve traveled to and why?

Ethiopia. I could talk all day about it… the women, the culture, the history, the vibe… Let’s just say it’s a very special place for me. I’ll have to dedicate a whole post to it; I couldn’t do it justice in this space. Second place would have to be the Philippines – it’s a sexual playground.

What was a country that you disliked the most and why?

Egypt. It’s overrated, full of sleazy con-artists and the nightlife is shit. Egyptian men are generally scum and ruin the whole Egyptian experience. A close runner-up in Russia, the people there can be very dower, even downright hostile. For me, the people make or break a country.

I heard you’ve traveled to Africa can you tell me an interesting story from the time you were there?

Where oh where do I begin. A lot of crazy shit happened in Africa. We jumped the border to escape Sudan, smuggled a kilo of weed from Ethiopia over 7 borders and decided to travel in North Kivu, a war zone in Eastern Congo. Shit got scary, I can’t even begin to tell you what went on there… I got a lot of the stories on the blog if anyone wants to check it out…

You dressed up as a pirate with your buddies for one-week right? What was that experience like? Did you feel like it changed you in anyway?

Mexican Pirates, furthermore it was 24 nights in a row. That was in the Balkans, we also did the same thing for one week straight in Malta. It was the most fun I ever had in my life. It didn’t change me, it just got me laid a lot. It did wonders for my friends though. It certainly improved their confidence. Life is more fun in costume.

What does it mean to collect a flag? How many flags have you collected?

If you hook with a local from a foreign country, you get a flag. Guys who indulge in ‘flagging’ are called flaggers. Check out flagging headquarters for info. I’m not interested in notches, only flags. I’m 24, and I’ve gotten 32 flags so far.

You mentioned pipelining as important. Can you define what pipelining is and why it has been important to you? How can others benefit it?

I think the blog sums it up best.

“Pipelining” is a practice primarily employed by travellers wanting to meet potential sexual partners in a future destination. Meetings are typically arranged online through social networking and dating sites. The objective is to have potential mates already ‘in the pipeline’ prior to arrival in a certain location, thus vastly increasing the chances of a sexual encounter with a local. The terms ‘Pipelining’ and ‘online game’ can be used interchangeably.

Can you tell us an interesting travel story? Maybe something unexpected happened to you while you were traveling?

My passport got robbed in Cambodia and I ended up staying there for several weeks with a Khmer girl. It’s a long story but finishes with her tattooing my name on her ass. To take some recent happenings, I just got back I was just got back from the Dominican Republic and Haiti. My first night in DR I banged a Dominican super model and beauty queen. My last night in Haiti, I got robbed and laid in the same night. Good times. I recently posted both stories on the blog.

Where are you currently? What is your travel plans in the future?

As mentioned, I just got back for the Caribbean. Next month, I’m in Eastern Europe for a few days before jetting off to travel the whole of West Africa. It’s going to be fuckin’ crazy, I can’t wait!

Do you plan on releasing any products in the future?

That’s classified information ;)

Ninoy Aquino International Airport= Nightmare!

Posted on April 14, 2011 by Latinstylez

I brought too much luggage as you may know and I had to pay for it this time… Not only that, but on the cab ride to the airport I got ripped off by a “Hotel Taxi.” Wanna know how much he charged me? It was 700 pesos to be exact. I would have gotten out of the cab, but I was carrying too much luggage ( a carry on bag, laptop bag, suitcase, and big backpack). The charge is usually around 200-300 pesos from Makati to the airport.

I finally arrived to the airport and I was already running late. In the morning, I lost my itinerary for my flight. However, the hostel staff were kind enough to recommend taking a picture of it. I did take a picture, but on my camera phone. I got one of the guys at the airport to bring in my bags. I had to go through security and have my itinerary checked. The security guy was nice and gave me a pat on the back. I really needed it. It was around 9:20 and my flight was leaving at 10:45.

I showed up to the China Airlines counter and guess what I saw? A scale right before you go to the front counter. “Oh great,” I thought to myself. I could put all the heavy stuff in my carry on bag so I don’t get charged extra… You can do that in most airports, but not in Manila… See in the Philippines they like to make as much money as possible from foreigners, and that means getting you at the airport. There was a guy checking the weight of checked in baggage after you check in to your flight. The people in that area were separate from the airline.

Nonetheless, I spent the next 45 minutes listening to the Filipino guy, who was working at the scale, give me horrible advice on how to arrange my excess baggage. He also told me, “ You can just put your laptop bag in your backpack and fill it with your heavy items.” The advice was horrible and I kept listening to it until I just said screw it as it was about an hour before my flight would depart.

I went to the counter and oops wait I thought, “Where is my passport?” I spent the next 5 minutes going through my bags to look for it. Finally, I found it… What a relief! One of the girls working for the airline, blabbered “You will have to pay fee…” She did it in a negative tone and that changed my mood from slightly annoyed to pretty pissed. I know I shouldn’t have gotten upset, but I started telling the staff to “hurry up.” In the long run, they did me a favor by checking in 3 bags for me. I did have to pay an excess baggage fee, but my carry on bag was not weighed.

I had to wait a little bit more time and my total was 2,800 pesos in excess baggage fees. The lady working at the counter looked at me and said “Sorry for the waiting, sir.” I paid for it and made it through the guy weighing checked in baggage. I only had a backpack and my laptop bag so he didn’t bother me. There was another obstacle and that was the 700 peso terminal fee when you depart on international flights. I was out of cash so I had to run to the ATM. I asked someone where it was and they said “Outside.” Where I asked them? I was ready to leave the Philippines!

Finally, I found the ATM and took out 2,000 pesos. It was outside of the international departure around where you have to check your bags in. If you have any trouble finding it, just ask someone. I knew the exchange rate for Philippine pesos is low so I didn’t want to take out any more money. I raced back to the place where you pay the terminal fee and there would be yet again another obstacle. The line to immigration was incredibly long and I waited in that line for what seemed hours. I thought to myself “I’m going to miss my flight!” I had a cute Taiwanese girl waiting for me at the airport in Taoyuan so I really wanted to be there.

There would be a good ending to this though. It was around 10:20 and I saw two people from my flight running past the line with a worker from our airline. I then told one of the guys working in the immigration area “My flight is leaving soon, look” as I pointed my ticket stub to him. He said “I don’t know.” Someone else ran back… It was the guy who gave me crappy advice on how to sort my luggage. This time he came to do me a favor. He got me to the front of the line. “Thank goodness!!”

I went up to the immigration officer with a smile on my face. “Where is your boarding information” he asked. “I don’t have it” I told him. He gave it to me to fill out. I filled it out so quickly and left some pieces blank, but he didn’t care. He was in a good mood that day. I got my passport stamped, but had to go through security. The usual routine: shoes off, belt off, phone, iPod, and walk through. No alarm sounded my second time since I took off my belt and put my phone through the security screening.

After the process, I got patted down one last time before arriving at my gate. Thank goodness for everything coming together so I could make my flight on time! As far as my impressions on the Philippines, that will be another blog post.

Jazz’n Bluz Review- Cebu, Philippines

Posted on April 11, 2011 by Latinstylez

I’ve had difficulty finding live jazz music venues in the Philippines and that’s where Jazz’n Bluz stands out. My Japanese friend is friends with the owner who is also from Japan. My friend talked the place up saying “You have to go to Jazz and Blues! They have DELICOUS food!”

Tonight, on Valentines Day, I got my first opportunity to check out this venue and I was impressed. My Filipina friend and I had issues with parking since the place was filled to capacity. Eventually we found a parking spot that wasn’t even that far of a walk away only like 5 minutes. The only thing was that she was worried about her car, which I thought would be safe. But, hey it’s the Philippines you never know!

We walked towards the venue and my Japanese friend was waiting for us outside. She had an area reserved for us near the bar. The first thing that I noticed was the disco light, and how crowded the place was. I didn’t see one empty chair and the venue was one large room that focused on the live music. There was also a long bar for those who don’t want to sit at a table. The only thing I noticed that was negative was the music was a bit too loud. This might make it difficult to talk to a date if you were to bring one. The lighting of the venue was also nice and featured a spotlight on the performer. The crowd was a bit older I’d say that most people were in their 40’s and up.

There was a jazz group playing and the lead singer had a good voice. The group was singing old Jazz tunes, but with their own twist. The lead singer also did a great job of interacting with the audience, and even went around asking couples how long they were together. It’s Valentine’s Day so I guess they had to add the romantic aspect to the performance. Parts of the stage were even decorated in hearts.

I enjoy Jazz music, but that wasn’t the main reason I was there. I wanted to try the food, and I’m glad I did. My Japanese friend recommended pasta dishes, but since it was already 10PM I opted for something a bit lighter and chose the chicken sandwich (275 pesos). The service was good. My server shined the light on my menu to make sure I could see it, and my drink arrived quickly. I was a little surprised when my sandwich arrived since it wasn’t actually a real chicken sandwich. It was more of a chicken salad type sandwich with diced tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and mayo. The crust was also removed from the sandwich. It also came with hot French fries that didn’t use the nasty oil that a lot of the food in the Philippines is cook with. The cooking oil used in many foods here SMELLS BAD. Fortunately, at Jazz and Blues they don’t use it! The sandwich tasted delicious it is unfortunate that it was a bit dark and I couldn’t get a good look at it.

Afterwards, I ordered a banana crepe (185 pesos). It was yummy and the texture was soft. The bananas were cut and put in the crepe. Chocolate topping was added which gave it a nice plate presentation. Ice cream was also added and I was left thinking “Wow I just had an awesome meal!”

Overall, I was impressed with the place. Even though it was an older crowd, the service and the food was excellent. It was also comforting to relax and listen to an entertaining music performance. I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for good food and live music.
