"Can you do me a favor?"

Chemistre · Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2007 3:44 am Post subject: "Can you do me a favor?"

I've encountered this question several times when opening sets with 3-5 hb 7-10s.

..random opener..

HB: "Hey, can you do me a favor really quick?"

I've usually crashed at this point trying to be CF, maybe too C and less F.

me, "Only, if you buy me a drink"
HB: "Well you can just leave then".

or

me, "Hell no, I don't even know you and your girls yet"
HB: "Well you can just leave then".

I've tried pulling out a picture routine taking a picture of me and my wings or asking them to smile, smile bigger, smile less... maybe my delivery is weak or something..

anyone have any suggestions or has anyone else ever encountered this situation?

I know I have like no rep on this forum yet, but i know i thing or two bout this stuff outside. I think u might be using the cockiness a lil too early. They're asking for ur opinion, and ur jumping right into the buying of a drink, or shutting them down from the beginning with the "i dont even know u" thing...

If they're asking a favour from me, I would turn slowly, look at them very calmly, and say... "It depends..." Let them ask their favour. If its something along the lines of "we're very pretty so do this for us because we're very pretty" shut them down preserve ur value. for example. "We want to go to the bathroom can u hold our seats for us?"

If they ask ur opinion, let them ask you, and give ur honest opinion, try and spice it up a little so they become interested in u. Like, "Psh.. what a silly question :s is this what u "intelligent" ladies are arguing over? ha ha ha (deliver with a smile) But if you must know... blah blah blah... "

Try that, and u might not get shut down from them like that way

Here's one i used which seems to work quite well (without telling them to fuck off or havin say no)

HB:can you buy me a drink?

Moz: i tell you what i'll buy you a drink if you buy me a drink (first)

could even then suggest the 5 questions and get her to buy you one.

If she's persistant you she's just on the blag.

HB: come on get me a drink

Moz: do you do this by occupation

HB: what?

Moz: ask people for drinks

She can only ask so many times.

'can you do me a favor'. this one's good im gonna use it

HB: "Can you take a picture of me and my friend."
Me using J-Dog: "I charge for my pictures."

Then I walk off my afc buddy goes man way to be a dick. I go just wait for it 3,2,1, bam the girls come over. They're all over us and the night snowballs from their and it turns into me dating the girl I insulted.

If you've already opened and get into A2 you should have already negged your target (she probably won't be asking you for favors). Let's say you manage to get into A2 and have successfully DHV'd, but she asks for "a favor really quick," anyway. At this point you've come in, made the group laugh for at least 30 seconds - 1 minute, and conveyed a playful personality. Your response should then be to neg her again:

HB: "Would you do me a quick favor?"
PUA: *to her friends* "Woah, hey guys is she always this demanding? How do you roll with her?" and stack forward

If you say "is she always this demanding? How do you roll with her?" and wait for a response, you'll be blown out. If you deliver the neg to HER, you'll be blown out. The neg is not a direct challenger or an insult. Deliver it to her friends with a smile on your face, and they'll laugh at her too. Then immediately stack into your next routine or story without giving them time to digest the fact that you just disqualified an HB9/10.

This 'can you do me a favor' gave me an idea to lock a girl in set (kind of, or lock myself in the set should i say).
say i need to go to the bar or run off to the toilet, i can say 'can you watch my drink a minute', then i have a good excuse to go back over, so i dont look too blatent.
Plus in uk smoking in bars has been banned so i could even ask someone to watch it while i go outside an smoke. Then start convo after.

Could also do this in other places with a bag but not sure how i would do this yet.

there's a million possible, appropriate responses to this..

"your awfully forward, we just met and your already trying to get sexual favors from me"

"as long as you promise to cuddle with me afterwards"

"last time a stranger asked me that question, I woke up in a mexican jail"

the key, of course is to immediately cut that thread, and STACK STACK STACK! she should never have time to answer.
