How to "lock down" a place (gmanifesto?)

How to "lock down" a place (gmanifesto?)

Tonight I ran into a very distant acquaintance of mine on the strip in my town (about 12 bars). He's extremely wealthy even though he's only about 22 thanks to his father's business, he's a foreigner in a conservative souther town & he's out of shape, but he's a player and knows EVERYONE on the strip. He's also a very high energy at night with a cocky swagger, although when I have met him during the day, he was much more low key.

He homie handshaked EVERYONE, every bouncer/doorman, DJ, bartender, midnight restaurant stand guy, and chatted briefly with them all. I have no idea what he said because they all spoke to fast for me to fucking understand.

Every hot girl in the bar he gave a brief hug, exchanged a couple words in their ears, and then went to the next dude to homie handshake or next girl to hug.

How the fuck do you do this? What do you even say? What sort of small talk is this?

The small talk I make is like, "not too busy a night tonight, rain scared everyone away" or "dude it's happening tonight" but I suspect this isn't cool, since whenever my acquaintance exchanged words with the dudes or girls, everyone either smiled loudly or laughed & seemed genuinely happy to see the guy. Everyone is pretty indifferent when they see me LOL. What the fuck kind of brief small talk do you make with both girls or guys that ellicit this response? Is it due to the high energy? I don't think so, but...

He doesn't even large tips either, just regular size ones, so money isn't really a consideration. I know it's easy to say, "oh people just want to know him cause he's rich" but on the other hand I know of many rich guys who don't have ANYTHING locked down, and I have seen other poor guys (like myself) who do have shit locked down.

How do you do it, man?

There you are. The rest is just him being congruent.

Maybe he does drugs with the people at the bar and throws big parties! Next time ask some chick what he said to her that made her laugh My guess is nothing, it was just the way he said it. Let me know.

If you are rich, you have to run a different game than a po person.

Same thing for the famous. You have to be careful with your associations.

Simple, next time you see him politely ask him that.

I'm shithouse poor, but I have two places (at school) completely on lock.

The first part is optional, the second part isn't.
First you have to distinguish yourself physically. You can't look like a khaki wearing fratboy doucher.
Then you have to distinguish yourself with respect to booze. I drink nothing but the odd Heineken and straight whiskeys. Most people drink swill.
Make sure to tip. If dudes are serving, I tend to tip more often.

Most important way to have a place on lock though, is to be sociable. The second you walk in the door, talk to somebody. Eventually make it so you have a conversation with nearly every person in the room. Small talk with the door man, small talk with the waitresses/bartenders, chat with your bros but keep branching out, and hit the karaoke every now and again. Fist bumps, handshakes, "cheers", Bulgarian cheers, rugby songs, all kinds of camaraderie type stuff you should enjoy doing. You want to be so friendly and cool with the staff and people in general that they won't even want to cockblock you.
Even if I go alone to my two favorite college bars, people get the impression that I'm rolling with a huge fucking posse.

My advice would be to hang with a group of people the first night. They dont even have to be hoes you wanna pound. Just have a little group to talk to and hang with for the night.

Bartender? DJ? Anyone you feel has some leverage in that place shake their hand and introduce yourself. Let it be known that you're a chill dude. Tell some of the people you made new friends you wanna smoke some cigs outside and they should come hang. Basically, you need to exert you are a dude people like to have around.

Spend your first couple of nights trying to lock it down. Dance, have fun before you get into business.

In my first year in college, I didn't really have,close close friends but I could not go a day with someone greeting me.

In one frat party, I was throwing up like a bitch. But one of the brothers who knew me said "It's okay man" and I kept partying until they had to close. I tried to apologize for my drunken behavior a few days later and he said "You good".

And usually they find any reason to kick freshmen out of their parties. Had that been another freshman, he'd been thrown out.

With a little social skils, confidence, and a good vibe, everyone will know you at the clubs.

Nope.
