Some good stuff!
Part 1
I saw the classmates again that were with me when I asked for the girl's number in that bar. They told me she came over to them with a huge smile on her face and told them "your friend asked me out". They said to me they thought I was awesome.
I said something like: "Well, you know. Lately whenever I feel like it, I just ask for a girls number. I don't care about the outcome because I have nothing to lose, right?". They completely agreed with me, but they still thought it was awesome and they both said they never could do that. Both have pretty cute girlfriends by the way. A nice little ego boost there.
Part 2
I have this project for school. I gotta make a magazine. Since I just bought a
$500 camera with a
$450 lens (yes, I'm a gadget freak that mostly spends his hard-earned money on stuff like this), I thought it would be a good idea to do something with photograpy.
Then it hit me. I just thought of photographing random people on the street. And what a great idea to practice opening people. So, I took my camera and went into the city.
I forgot how most of the conversations went, because did around 20 different people/groups of people. Whenever I saw people, I just walked up to them and told I was doing a school project. I didn't gave a sh*t. I just walked around and asking everyone, including a couple of very intimidating-looking guys who I thought for a second were going to beat me up, haha. I walked up and asked them, there were 5 of them. A couple of huge black guys with tattoos and earrings and stuff. As I started talking to them, they formed a circle around me and started talking really close to me and stuff. They told me they wanted money for it, and I told them no and just walked off. Nothing happened, luckily.
But aside from that, almost every one of em said OK. I got all kinds of people, including a couple of very hot girls. I found out they do everything for you when you point a professional-looking camera at them, lol. I asked them after taking the photo what they would put under the photo if it would appear in a magazine.
Here are some examples.
Photo1
A really cute blonde girl. She looked sweet. She was with a lady friend.
Photo 2
A couple. A chill black guy with his girlfriend.
Photo 3
5 guys in their fifties sitting drunk outside a bar
Photo 4
A SMOKING HOT CHICK. She was as tall as I was, with long, awesome legs. She had the perfect figure. But her face was he best feature. Long, brown hair, blue/greenish eyes, and just a really cute face. I asked her if she wanted to be on the photo. She said ok. I alsked her what she would put underneath the photo if it was for an actual magazine.
"Well... it's my birthday today..."
Me: "Oh really? Come here"
And I gave her three kisses on the cheeks just like that. She didn't mind and kinda giggled about it.
We talked a bit more and it turned out she did the same study as me, but at a different school. When I asked her if she wanted the photo's she gave her Hyves (myspace but for normal people) address. When I got home I looked there and there was a link on in to her personal website. It turned out she was a professional model as well.
Now you guys know I don't lie when I say "she was hot", haha.

Two black woman in their forties
Photo 6
Two guys at a bar around thirty. They were drunk and loud and looked like a fun bunch. The photos turned out great.
Photo 7-14
Some drunks in their fifties spotted me taking photo's of people, so they dragged me into the bar where they were drinking. I shot away at all of them (it was crowded) and got a lot of awesome photo's there. They bought me beers and stuff, it was awesome.
Photo 15
A cute brunette chick.
Photo 16
Some guy
Photo 17
Two cute girls
They were sitting on some bench, talking. I just sat down next to them. I leaned over to them, hard to explain but it was like I sat down on my own couch. Like Mr. cool, haha.
Me: Hey girls
Them: Hello... (...?)
Me: Can you help me out? I'm doing a school project bla bla bla
Them: Sure
Me: I noticed you have little crowns on your heads, why did you do that ?
Them: Oh (giggle giggle), we don't know. We just felt like it (giggle)
Me: Alright, well say cheese [ClickClickClickClick]
I showed them the photo's and asked them what they would put underneath them.
Them: eehhhhhh. Hmmmm we don't know
Me: How about,
"The princesses of [city]"
Them: (giggle) Yea, that's alright
I don't really know the rest of it anymore. But it was fun. They looked like they could eat out of my hand.

Some business guy in a nice suit
Photo 20
A gangsta dude with his gangsta girlfriend
Photo 21
An old couple
Photo 22
Three cute black girls. One of them kinda reminded me of Beyonce, but not as hot. I noticed that black girls are different then white girls in the way they respond. I can imagine they are harder to get. They were testing me the entire time, it was fun. I handled everything they threw at me, and teased them back as well.
Photo 23
Two homosexuals. One huge black guy and one smaller rasta guy. It was funny. They looked pretty tough, expecially the big one. But once they started talking they were all feminine and stuff.
Photo 24
A group of four girls. All of them were hot. If I had to rate them I'd say a 7,5; two time an 8; and one 8,5.
I saw them walking by as I was photographing the guys listed above. They were almost out of sight when I was done with that. So what did I do? That's right; I ran after them till I caught up.
Me: Hey ladies
Girls: Hi
Me: You in a hurry?
Girls: A little
Me: Well alright just bear with me. It'll only take a few minutes.
Girls: Well you can keep walking with us
Me: Sure. Where you headed?
Girls: We just got the keys to our new appartment and we're going to celebrate it by having dinner
Me: Oh really? That's cool. Where?
A little more of this chit-chat, then I got to the point. They all agreed on going on the photo. One of them (The hottest one. A short brunette with a really sweet smile and a great rack & ass) was in the 2nd year of the same study as me, at the same school! She told me I had to look out for her and make a chat whenever I'd see her. Sounds good to me!
The next day:
Photo 25
Two really dangerous looking guys, but this time they were moroccan. Kinda the same story as before, standing close and acting intimidating. I noticed one of them had a little tear tatto-ed beside his eye (that officially means to gangs you have murdered someone) They agreed on going on the photo though. I was amazed at myself that I was crazy enough to ask guys like these in the first place, and that I stayed completely cool when they obviously tried to intimidate me. I knew that if I'd be scared and backed down, it would go wrong. It was tense as sh*t. Great training in keeping your cool if you ask me, hehe.
Photo 26
Two cops. They were totally cool about it.
Photo 27
Two cute brunettes. Nice flirty conversation.
Photo 28
A guy with his baby in a little wagon.
Photo 29
A street musician. The coolest guy in the city. He looks like stereotype bluesman with the hat and all.
Photo 30
Two young mothers (no, I won't drop the American Pie term here) who were pretty hot. They really tested me, it was fun. Somehow middle-aged woman seem to dig me.
Photo 31
A guy with his girlfriend
Bottom line
Especially day one was great. 2nd day went a little less, I was a little hung-over and feeling less energized. I really noticed the difference. I used the same kind of openers as yesterday (not memorized openers, mind you!), but people responded a lot less positives and I got rejected a lot more. Day one was around 85% positive, day 2 around 50/50.
I learned again that "
It's not about what you say, it's how you say it", is completely true.
I never opened so many girls on one day. And it just went so well. I walked up to them without fear and they all pretty much responded positively to me. The conversations went really well too. I keep using this word a lot lately:
natural. There was a good amount of flirting in the conversations, eye contact, kino... it all went
smooth. I noticed that I need to focus on the closing part the most.
Got a bunch of e-mail addresses because I send the photo's to them. Lets see what comes out of that. And I got the myspace page of a totally smoking hot model! Best part is that she gave it to me and I didn't even ask for it.
This project is a great way to practice, and I have learned a lot from it. It is so much fun to do, and I notice that I approach and open random girls constantly and easily. A year ago, I couldn't even dream of being like this.
It's
fun fun fun!
I'm going definitely going to do a couple of more sessions of this and I can recommend anyone to try the same. You can also rent camera's like that for 50 bucks a day or so.
I'm feeling awesome
