This FR is a summary of the three days that I went out this weekend. I opened probably around 6 or 7 sets, depending on what you consider opening a set. I went out with my wing on Thursday and with friends Friday and Saturday. The ironic part is I opened less sets with my wing then I did with my friends, who are not or know nothing about the community. Below are the two best sets that I ran this weekend.
The first set was a 5 set of all females that I was outside smoking ( I don’t smoke but my wing did and I went outside to join him since we were both being incredible vaginas and letting the AA get the best of us). One of the girls dropped a lighter and I said something like that girl needs to get cut off. They laughed and said that they weren’t drinking. Then I made small talked negged the target for her accent which was a deep country accent (which I absolutely love by the way) then out of nowhere after the target started showing me IOI’s the obstacle throws out we are only 18, shit test I suppose. I ignored the shit test and continued to vibe with the target, but I knew that I showed too much interest too early and didn’t take enough time to disarm the obstacles. I tried to bring my wing into the set by turning my head towards him and asking his input on what we were talking about and the obstacle who shit tested me earlier stood directly in front of me to block me off from the set. After that I knew I lost the set and couldn’t just sit there and try to carry on the conversation b/c that would make me look low value, so I just went on my way. I was reopened later by the target and another one of her friends by asking me if I had a cockpot. I don’t know, I guess the younger girls are immature and stupid, but for some reason those are the girls that I am most attracted to. But I # closed her, w/o proper attraction, maybe 10 minutes of total interaction. I got no response from any of the TMs I sent (two) and have not tried a phone call. But I have my first flake/#close since entering the community and I recognize the mistakes I made, which is good. Also, it was fun and I can’t wait to go out again.
The second set (2 set, 2 hb 7’s) I used the opener that I used at the mall the other weekend, the toilet paper opener, but I used TJ’s suggested revisions. The girls were loving it. It really does make you feel good when people laugh at everything you say. Then I make a little small talk and then broke out my big brother story, but I could tell when I was delivering it that sounded scripted and I messed up telling it a couple of times(with a lot of um’s and stutters). But I guess because the girls weren’t that hot they let me get away with my mistakes. I even got the one of the girls to buy me a shot. I was probably in this set for twenty minutes or so, and I probably could of # closed both of them but I didn’t, probably should of though, but I wasn’t going to call any of them, so whatever.
These were my two best sets, I had a couple where I just opened and ejected, one where I opened a guy in the set but couldn’t bring others in the set and then I just ended up getting way too drunk to do anything effective on Saturday. Though my friends told me that I was talking to a lot of strangers, but I am sure I was just a drunken idiot b/c I was blacked out by midnight. I really didn’t intend on getting as drunk as I did but I hadn’t eaten in a while and was drinking vodka, so I should have expected that. I hope you guys enjoyed reading my FR. Suggestions and comments are welcome. Thanks.

Posey - this is great stuff...that's awesome that you got the toilet paper story to hook. Don't get discouraged with the Big Brother story...it'll take 3 or 4 "field runs" to get it down so that you're able to deliver it consistently and congruently.
Don't worry about the numbers flaking. Flaking is just a part of the game, nothing you can really do about it.
What's key is that you're making progress. Don't berate yourself for getting AA but know you can offer value with your stories so fearlessly approach sets. The worst that'll happen is you'll get blown out (which will actually significantly improve your game because it'll toughen you up and make you immune to social pressure/condition you to become unreactive).
I wouldn't recommend drinking too much when you're in the field. It won't help your game and eventually you'll condition yourself not to feel AA sober or drunk. I usually have a beer or two just to lubricate my throat (and because I enjoy the taste of beer), but once I even start to get a little buzzed, I try and cut myself off (I know that if I feel even a little drunk, I should just give up trying to run game because I won't run anything of quality when I'm not completely clear-headed)...strangely, I found it's ok to get a little drunk on a D2 as long my HB is too and I've already ran sufficient sober game earlier (although again, within reason..when I say a little drunk, I'm talking about 5-6 beers over 2 or 3 hours)..
Anyway, I love reading posts like this and hope you continue to push your comfort level and approach more and more sets. You see you're pulling numbers so you're doing better than 95 percent of guys.
I'll post my FR of my weekend later in the week. Just suffice to say it was pretty insane (a kid Summa from the VA boards came sarging with us 3 nights in a row...fearless kid with a lot of balls).
Fun times, Posey. Yeah, I never drink because even a sip throws my game off and I make an ass of myself (moreso than usual).
Getting over AA is all you need to worry about right now, and as you hook, you'll get good at vibing and all the rest. I agree that getting #s is not that important if you have no intention of calling or if you think the sarge went poorly (though sometimes I get the # just to see).
The thing I find is newbies often get crippling AA when they go out alone or together, but as soon as someone with experience goes with them and tells them to open, they usually obey. I've got one of my students so obedient he'll open a set that's in the middle of making out.
good work, posey!
