I work at a vape shop in LA that's pretty big. We get all walks of life in regards to customers, from celebrities to the average Joe. One customer we have is a big Mexican/Indian looking dude, and he's always looked super familiar but I've never been able to put my finger on it.

Yesterday, homeboy came in with his buddy. I instantly realized who this guy was simply because he had the audacity to wear a leopard print scarf in public. I love leopard print as much as the next dude, but this was too much. I knew it. This guy is Matador.

So we start shooting the shit, I'm keeping my knowledge of him low-key. His buddy is sounds American but says he's visiting from England, but he's tall. Turns out, this guy was Mystery. The only way I could tell was when I mentioned my degree in Psych, he said he has Ph.D. in psychology, which basically confirmed what I already knew because this was a random fact I knew about the guy from years ago. Otherwise, he didn't look anything like I thought he would. I thought he'd be taller, even though he was already like 6'2" or something.

So we start shooting shit about game, and it's funny to know that you can teach old dogs new tricks. I taught them a couple of tricks they could do with ecigs to K-close which got them super excited, and they even taught me a few that made me laugh (I even tried it out that night with my ex, and she ate that shit up so good job Matador).

My tip was the "take my breath away" trick. You tell a girl to rest her hand on your finger tips as you expose your palm upwards (like you'd be handing someone candy or something). She puts her chin on your fingertips, you exhale some vapor into your palm, and she inhales it out of your palm as you go in for a close. Man, they loved this. Cool.

One tip Matador gave me was "how to blow a square with vapor." You tell a girl you can blow a square, make her get really into it, get a wager going, and then take a deep inhale. On the exhale, just move your head/shoulders around so you exhale your vapor in the shape of a giant square, and that's it. Worked to make me and my buddies laugh, as well as my ex, so it's a nifty trick.

Anyway, some things I want to note: though these guys were cool as hell (Matador has always been kind of douchey, but never really insulted me directly so whatever), their game was hella' commercialized. Like, I felt like they took game and turned it into a market. It was about dates and numbers, about success versus failure, while they completely ignored real world dynamics like "what if I want to date this girl," or "what if this girl just isn't into me?" Things like this happen, but after a conversation, I realized that sometimes the game goes past its limits.

In sales, we have this saying where everyone has a sweet spot. You spend time building up to this sweet spot, hit the spot, get too comfortable, and you blow right past it. So you start all over again and do it again. This happens once every couple months. The same thing goes for game. Some days you will be on fucking fire. You'll murder it getting numbers, dates, and closes. You'll know the right things to say at the right times, and just get lucky such that every girl is just into you. And other days? You just strike out, swing after swing, pitch after pitch, and it gets you nowhere. You leave the club with maybe one number that may not lead anywhere, and you're still shaky on the game you spat at this girl in the first place.

The fact of the matter is after a hearty discussion, SOMETIMES shit doesn't work out. I asked them what their technique is to average out more successes than failures, and Mystery was really cool about it. He literally just told me to have my game ready anywhere. Daytime game and nighttime game are great, but knowing that you have both in your arsenal is awesome. Some days you just feel haggard (hangover Sundays), so spitting game just isn't an option if you've got a splitting migraine, but walk up to a girl, tell her that you randomly thought she was pretty, and walk away. Just do a small open to keep yourself sharp and on your toes. And then, on days where you feel boss, make sure you use that to actually get numbers.

Regardless, they were cool about the game, and though I personally cannot relate to their game, I had a great time talking about how to spit game with them with success.

TL;DR: Some days you'll win, others you'll lose, but consistency to keep quantity up without sacrificing YOUR SUBJECTIVE IDEA OF QUALITY is the best bet to success in seduction.
