9/23/23 - AMOG central
The night before, I realized that Rob and I had done a lot of approaches but not stayed in set for long enough. On Saturday, I decided that my goal was going to be to have long sets that I do a lot with even if I have a lot less approaches. I still decided that I was going to stick with my framework of tourists versus locals. Tourists are cool, locals lame.
I first went out to a local bar to watch Ohio St vs Notre Dame, I was rooting for the Buckeyes since Notre Dame fans annoy me, and made small talk with a dude sitting next to me. The guy is actually a lawyer (in before
@BillyPilgrim jokes) and we chatted a great deal for an hour and went to another bar to get a mojito. Then, I knew I had to leave and it was actually around 11 PM or so that I went to the main bar I game at.
We arrive and notice the final moments of the Ohio St vs. Notre Dame game where Ohio St wins. I had a few margaritas in me and a mojito so I yell “**** Notre Dame”, thankfully this is in Miami where no one gives a **** about them. I then decide to do some approaches.
Two hot Latinas.
I see these two hot Latinas standing around and tell them they cannot possibly be locals, they were but they were also receptive. I tell them they dress like they are from Manhattan and we make some small talk. I tease them on being a prudish local. For the sake of this set, we will call one Latina C and the other D.
C looked kinda ditzy but had a nice rack and body, D looked more serious but had a nice butt. We chat and they say that it is their first time at the bar. The two wanted to play table tennis so I tell them I am going to check for them. I walk over to the table tennis line to ask where the line is and once I get that, I walk back, it had been like 20 seconds.
In that time, these two tall white dudes, clearly drunk, had taken my set. I get myself back into the set and smile. The guys introduce themselves and I shake their hand firmly. They ask me who I am and I joke saying I am the dad of the Latinas. One of the guys says if he can propose, I say “go for it, we have been trying to find her a husband”. The Latinas found it hilarious.
In that time, D had backed away from the set and C was the one being hit on. I talk to D and she say she thinks the guys are on drugs. I joke with D who ends the set where C follows. I walk with them to the middle of the venue where this is this cool aerial boat show going on. I watch with them and tell them about it.
Then they ask me about which bar serves the best alcohol and I pointed to the nearest outdoor one, I even get a vodka soda so my 6th drink of the night. I lead them to where I believe is the best part of the bar but I walk into a trap, the two AMOGs join us again.
C entertains the amogs while D does not. Working with D, we manage to create the bathroom excuse. D goes to the bathroom while C stands outside talking to me. I ask C how she felt about those guys and she said she thought they were cool, completely different answer from D. This is where I find out where my critical mistake is being made.
I was giving more attention and time to C and not enough to D. We walk around more and then some black dude opens D. I talk to C but it does not materialize, in fact she is talking to the black dude. I talk to her along the way since black dude is too busy with D but is distancing herself. I feel the eyes on us and these two cholo looking Latino dudes come in to sweep in C.
Never once dealt with this in my time in NYC but in Miami, right away. I did not realize my mistake at the time but I do now. I should have hung out with D the whole time. C was a grifter who was just trying to get attention while D was serious. If I had fixed that part of my game, I could have taken D to another bar or home. At the same time, this is the value of a long set, you learn these game mistakes from them.
Two white girls in a fancy dress.
I open these two white girls in a fancy dress with my line of how they cannot possibly be locals, they are bubbly and receptive. We end up chatting a bit and both are midwestern girls. One we will call A and the other B. A is more shy and reserved while B is more chatty. A is from Michigan and B is from Chicago.
My experiences with midwestern girls are usually good so I am engrained into the set. However, these girls mention they live in Brickell which is a red flag I should have caught earlier. I try to isolate these girls to another bar once the vibe gets going but they want me to get them a shot. I tell them I can get it at the other bar since the alcohol is better.
We exchange IGs at the time. A knows one of the sorority girls I had IG closed last night and does not even follow me or give me her account while B does.
The girls and I have this playful argument or let’s say negotiation mixed with friendliness it seemed. We talk about different kinds of tequila which my dumb self is unfamiliar with. I even call them out and say “this is one of those you get me to buy you a shot and then go away saying gotcha sucka” when the girls say that after the shot, we head to the other bar.
The girls say “okay, we can consider the other bar”. At this point, any smart guy would have walked away, seriously. However, when you have been engrained into a football game, gaming solo, and are set on making a set last longer rather than doing volume, I don’t walk away. This set goes from bad to just embarrassing.
I buy these girls the shots, they were $40 total…..not that much for me but wow…..What happened afterwards is that the girls immediately take the shots and say “thanks we gotta go now”. I laugh about it and B says “another fallen soldier”, truly speaking to the culture of Miami and its women.
There you go, I got played. I felt like an idiot for it but I got played but it was a lesson I needed to learn. At the same time, it lit a fire in me. Now I really wanted to game in Miami so I can tease and outmaneuver the slimey, deceptive, and sleazy transplants in this city as I find some quality tourists along the way.
Some drama afterwards.
I approached one of the guys who had joined my chat and he was with a chat legend. We do some approaches together but this guy was a virgin throughout his 20s. The guy has a very weird cartoony and strange vibe, he speaks way too fast in a foreign accent and is laughing all the time in a dorky way. None of the sets go well and I call it a night. I cut off contact from this dude.
