Chicken Wings
Hey, Wolf,
This reply is probably really late, but I really like your post and had some feedback I though you might like.. this is from your Oct 05 Chicken Wings FR..
About me, I've been traveling all over the country for business and I've been trying to fit one type of Sarging into big, small, and medium towns and your posts have confirmed for me that one size does not really fit all. It has been hard for me to figure out what I am doing right and wrong becase I have gotten so many varied reactions from the same methods.
I really appreciate your posts and the hard work you are doing scouting this stuff out for all of us (most of America) who don't live in large cities..
Anyway, that being said.. my contribution here is two things..
1) Logistics.. this was the post where the girl invited you to another club and your wings ****blocked you by not agreeing to go...
I know what its like to be in a city far from home and that feeling of not wanting to be stranded, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.
First off, your wings shouldnt have blocked you like that, so you had every right to say, "ok, I'm leaving you guys here.. I'll give you a call later to come pick you up." Then you could've gone with her, probably got laid, then had an excuse to not stay the night cuz you had to pick up your wings. Or maybe if you wanted to stay, you could've convinced her to let your wings crash on her couch. Remember "bros before hos" is a pact, not a one-way obligation. If they break it first, you really owe them nothing.
Also, you really would not have been leaving those guys if you went with her. You offered them to come with you. They were the ones who wanted to stay. They are adults (hopefully) and if they wanted to stay they could make their own choice. They also had your cell phone and could have called you if they needed a ride home. Truthfully, you let them AMOG you. If you just left, they either would have come with you or found their own way home.
But you are the kind of guy who wouldnt leave someone, even if they deserved it, so let me help you with this situation. Remmeber if a girl goes with you, she leaves her friends, often leaves herself dependent on you to get her home or even a place to sleep. If a girl can do that, so can you.
First, always have enough money on you for a hotel and/or a taxi home. You should have that anyway if you are traveling to a city 2 hours away. It's just good judgement.
In this situation, you had a few options. You could have told the wings to take a cab and meet you at the other place. Or given them the keys and told them to pick you up later, then asked to ride with the girl to the other club. This would definitely work in your favor because now she would feel responsible for you and at the end of the night you could have parlayed that into her making an offer to let you stay at her place cuz you were stranded. (It works because she already wanted you and it is a way for her to invite you home without being slutty. I have been in that sit before, it works). If she didnt bite, then you could call the guys and have them come get you at the other club (they would have to because you could report the car stolen.. lol) Worst case, she says no, wings are drunk or already heading home, and you have to get a cab back to the first club and get your wings to bring you the keys.
I dont think you mentioned in the post how hot the girl was, so it would have been up to you to see if the lay was worth the logistics, but this is a classic case of logistics issues.
I have to ask a question here, too.. if you read this reply..
Do you have logistics set up if you get a f*** close? If this city is 2 hours away, do you have a place to go if you cant get to her place? I could never pull off a bathroom stall hookup, but I have done cars and just outside the club stuff, but that is not very reliable, so do you have $$ for a hotel on you if your place to crash falls through? Have you figured what happens to your wings if you (or any of you) hook up?
I'm not knocking you, but just mentioning a couple things I noticed. If you get yourself thinking about logistics for a close, and make concrete plans to arrange logistics for a close, it will get you in a close, score, win frame of mind, which may help you getpast some of your closing blocks.

[There is a clear pattern here: I can't find a wing who can help me. If I can, they're so good already, they don't need a wing in the first place.]

Something on a positive note.. remember that although good PUAs have no problem running solo, a good wing is always an asset and even the best PUAs have no problem with making things easier on them, so there's no reason a good PUA would not want a good wing. Some PUAs prefer to roll solo because they just like it better but that's them.
As for beginner or AFC wings, everybody has to start somewhere and taking new wings out and breaking them in requires a lot of patience but has the benefit of building more talented wings and also is our contribution back to the community. That being said, no golfer would improve his game if he always golfed with guys who shot 15 strokes higher than him. So sometimes you have to take a break from mentoring to develop yourself.
Remember, you are your number one responsibility. Good luck and great posts!!
