Pickup Economists - Cost Per Notch
12-29-2012, 04:10 PM
Have any of you guys included the opportunity costs in your calculations?
I just did, and now I'm depressed.
Which then brings me to another #'s question, value of the lay?
- 1st lay
- 2nd-5th
- 6th and beyond
What dollar # do you put on a chick?
A hour of work
A day?
A week?
A career?

I see my cost per notch like this..
Lisa -- 75 bucks worth of food, 40 bucks worth of taxis, 60 bucks worth of comedy club tickets, 4 hours of my social time= Bad
Danielle -- 30 bucks worth of food, 10 bucks worth of wine, 4 hours of my social time = Decent
Erika -- 10 bucks worth of vodka, 5 bucks worth of juice, 5 bucks worth of weed, 10 bucks worth of food, 3 hours of my social time = Good
Melissa -- 5 bucks worth of weed, 5 bucks worth of ice cream, 4 hours of my social time = Really good.
Tanya - 4 hours of my social time = Great

fuck delete
it sucks how we cant delete posts when we accidently double post like this
another reason i like younger college girls is because they are often easily satisfied -- a decent meal, a funny tv show, some decent weed, decent wine, a decent apartment off campus, a decently attractive older guy --this is often enough to get them to bang.

Pickup Economists - Cost Per Notch

I had this down when I lived in SF. I only did activities w/new girls around my area- Lower Pacific Heights.
Heres a typical schedule- Girl comes around 7.30. We grab a drink first at mine for 20 mins, then walk to dinner w/the drink in hand. Order thai food w/out menu plus 1 large sake- bill 26 dollars. Drop 30 buxs total.
8.45pm- Walk home, chill on couch/bed a little drunk w/her, put pandora Hip hop and R-B on. Make-out and sometimes bang 9.15pm.
Kick her out by 11-12pm. Shower-sleep- set alarm for school next morn. Total bill- 30 buxs and 5 buxs of vodka or rum/juice/soda, 2 hrs spent talking/dining/walking, 1hr banging, 30-45 mins relaxing w/her, 25% of time I bang again... Sleep.
I would take all the girls on the same dates/same restaurants near my place. First nice thai place My Ivy, then cheapo mexican delicious food Ocean Taqueria, then Cheese-steak shop on Divisadero, Korean restaurant Nan (that I knew the managers, where I got hooked up/set up w/tables first) on Fillmore, then ramen Tanpopo in J-town, then if she was very special I would take her sunday to Fresca in SF( split a paella w/her).
Re-cap, total time spent- minimal, only weekdays, transition girls into cheaper foods that I loved more regularly. Never take a girl to an expensive restaurant. I made this mistake early w/girls. You take her somewhere too nice, and she thinks you want to "marry and settle". She refuses to bang until date 3.
For all you playboys out there, try this drink. Guaranteed panty-dropper- 3-4 shots of captain morgan, ice, sprite-zero, and guava juice(kerns). If you have 1 of these w/a girl, and she has 1-2 more drinks, shes rolling 3-4 drinks deep pre-food and 5-6 drinks deep by 9pm.
Cpt Morgan+sprite tastes like cream soda. Add Guava and it tastes like cream soda w/a dash of guava...Not 1 girl has ever said it tastes bad.
I got a playboy reputation at these places. I would walk in w/different girls constantly. The staff always thought it was hysterical...and gave me fantastic service.
@WIA- 1st date 18 buxs dollars on her, 2hours social time. 2nd-5th date, 12-15 buxs on her, 1 hour of social time. Transition into steady semi-GF, 15 buxs on her, 1-2 hours of social time.
WIA- For most of men, our time being masters of our own fate, kings in our own castles is short. Even those of us in the game will eventually succumb to ease of servitude rather than deal with the malaise of solitude

The problem with a CPN metric is that not all notches are alike. I don't mind pulling out a couple of Franklins if it means I can get a couple of good drinks and a porter house steak while gaming a hottie.

I dont keep track nor do I care.
I invite girls to come along on whatever im doing anyway. Might be cheap, might be expensive, but its whatever I feel like doing. I dont take them anywhere I wouldnt already be going anyway.
I will buy them a few drinks usually, but never on approach, only later, and usually because they are 18-25 and im older than that and have more cash. I dont really think about it too much.

The key word here is OPPORTUNITY.
Not just dollars, cents, and time - but what have you foregone in the hunt for new chicks?
Slack on your day to day job duties?
Go to happy hour instead of an industry mixer?
Focused on a known hunting ground, instead of opening a new path?
Especially for you high rollers, could your time/effort been better spent making more money/amassing more power.

Yea, Gio and WIA nailed it....Big three for me are Time, money, mental energy.
I was a serious student in dental school. Tuition alone was almost 90k/year. Didn't want to repeat a year, due to my "party life".
I had a ridiculous schedule (most days 9-7pm of heavy work) and not much dough to roll around with.
Taking girls out to expensive dinners cuts into vacations, clubbing, alcohol, good food that I would split with friends, BBQ-ing, etc.
Girls taking too much of my time = less sleep.... Solution-keep it quick and efficient.... High-end places take forever to serve you and they drag everythingggg out.
Taking girls to high-end places took more mental energy to get these girls in the sack, then not. Maybe, my game was weaker. Minimize the relative impact of money, and my game improved.
@G-manifesto- Hopefully, now that I am working, Ill have the funds for more of the "good life"

This is dead on.
I take girls to where I would be going anyways.
I enjoy spending money and I enjoy sitting at the bar in a beautiful restaurant with a beautiful girl.
If you are making real money, the cost of even an "expensive date" is the least of your worries in life.
Do what you want in life and you will be happy.
Then it's not really a cost per notch, is it? I mean, look at it this way: if the girl wasn't there, wouldn't you be doing the exact same thing, probably spending a similar amount of money? Or hell, maybe you'd be out with a chick already in the rotation, skewing the calcs further.
Perhaps the pickup economics lexicon really needs a new set of metrics:
cost above normal [CAN] per notch, defined as
the amount you spend to get laid above what you would have spent without the girl anyway;
marginal CPN, defined as the
amount it takes to swoop a new girl for the first time;
marginal CAN per notch, defined as
the amount over your daily normal activity required to
swoop a girl for the first time.
