Last friday a buddy of mine invited me over to a random house party. Both of us hardly knew anyone at the party, so it sounded to me like a good opportunity to practice my social skills in this kind of setting.
Now, right from the get-go, it was obvious this place was a bad prospect: the male to female ratio was like 70/30. Then on top of that, the majority of women were in relationships. One of the hostesses, let's call her Cleopatra, was available, and there was a slutty acting blondy who said she had a boyfriend, but at least hers wasn't actually present at the party, as was the case for most of the other prospects.
Me and my buddy ran some MM style game, getting to know all the different people at the party and casually increasing our recognition value. It turned out the majority of those present were all philosophy students. I used some silly namedropping banter to engage some conversations, like calling one girl a classic Stoic and another an embittered Schopenhauer with boobs.
Later on in the night, I decided to dance on the blonde slutty girl. She was one of those annoying ADHD attention seekers who would just jump from one dude to another. Everytime I turned things a little more sexual she would just outright run away, but of course she came back in the end. I ran some direct game on her, which in retrospect was a mistake since I hadn't isolated her. I also think I did not come across entirely congruent, as when I told her: "Hey I'm not a nice guy, I'm a bad boy" or something silly like that, she'd shit test me and bait me by saying "no I'm not convinced I think this isn't really you and you're actually nice on the inside". Eventually she ejected, and I bargained she'd maybe re-establish contact an hour later once she got bored by all the beta's.
She didn't. But hell it was a long shot anyway since she was taken anyway.
As the night progressed I decided to try my hand at Cleopatra, the young 7,5 philosophy student. My initial banter with her had been playful, but I think I already lost at that point, in that she'd just classified me as one of the many other beta's at the party. She'd even frizzle my hair as if I was some kind of pet. So I decided to confront her (which was silly as it was her houseparty; her court). While she sat in the middle of the couch, a beta to her left and a beta to her right, I told her to keep her hands away from my hair. Nope - still wouldn't take me seriously and she just frizzled it again. I told her to stop again - and she readied her fists as if to playfight...
I felt like there was nething left to win from this place, so I just said to her: you know you might be the Cleopatra of this party with Marcus Antonius here wrapped around your finger, but outside of this house you're nothing. Outside it's still a man's world and you won't win in the end.
"You don't even have the slightest clue of what I've gotten men to do for me." she started. Maybe at least I got her to defend herself.
Marcus Antonius though, wanted to White Knight. And a minute later Cleopatra successively called three Beta's for a quick high-five just to prove her dominence again.
Me and my buddy bailed the party, stealing a bottle of wine and a bottle of Vodka as our slight revenge.
The place was a deathtrap from the get-go. The ratio was shitty, the girls were taken or had ADD or were manipulators and the alpha male was gay. It's no suprise most of the guys I spoke there had a lay count of 1, with so many factors against you, and alpha females who have zero respect for men, or ADD blondies who run away the moment you turn things sexual, it seems nigh impossible to get action at a STUDENT HOUSE PARTY (in the Netherlands).
Still, I'd like to think that I could have played this in a better way as I don't want to say something's impossible too soon.
Is there any way I could have been the Caesar to her Cleopatra? Is there any way I could've tamed the ADD blondie? Or should I have just ditched the party the moment I saw the crappy dynamics...
