Speed Escalation and Closing:
While it may not constitute �solid� game, a quick escalation
and kiss close, or a one night stand, can be a lot of fun.
The principles are the same as those of �solid� game;
however, the process needs to be simplified, and certain
phases are done less extensively.
So let�s take a look at the phases of a standard pickup, and
talk about how they differ when you go for a speed close:
Opening:
This phase changes very little. Any type of opener can lead
to a speed close. However, some are more suitable than
others. Indirect openers aren�t bad, but the more direct you
are, the faster you can close. I�ve found that closed
statement openers are the best indirect method to use, while
straightforward SOI escalation is the best direct method.
Attraction Building:
This is the most important phase of speed escalation. For
solid game, I usually move out of attraction in 3 to 5
minutes and get on into qualification and comfort (see
below). In a speed set, there are 2 contingencies. The first
is that I achieve a lot of attraction very early, in which
case I will attempt to close immediately. The second is that
attraction does not flow early and easily. In this
situation, I will continue the attraction phase far longer
than normal.
Let�s talk about a little theory that will explain this
reasoning (Credit is due to The Sneak for the following
model). If we think of attraction as a continuum, where 0%
is complete indifference, and 100% is obsession, then we
normally need about 60% attraction to get a solid number and
day2, or even a kiss close. However, to speed close, we need
about 75% attraction for a kiss close, and about 90%
attraction for a same night pull. The reason, as will become
clear soon, is that we are attempting to override the
rational mind with emotions, skipping over the comfort phase
almost entirely, and relying on massive amounts of
attraction to pull it off.
Therefore, it should be obvious why we want to continue the
attraction phase until we achieve the desired level of
attraction.
Qualification:
This is probably the trickiest phase of a speed set. Not
only do you need to make your intentions known, you also
need to avoid falling into the comfort trap. Normally,
qualification proceeds very organically into comfort. But,
we�re about to skip comfort almost entirely, so that isn�t
really a good thing. I have 2 methods that resolve this
dilemma.
The first is to smash the comfort phase and the
qualification phase together into an odd entity that I�ll
call �Comfortication.� Comfortication looks like comfort,
but feels like attraction. I know what you�re thinking.
�Fate, you are insane.� Bear with me.
In Comfortication, we ask comfort question, and use comfort
building routines like the cube or style�s EV, but we imbed
more intense push-pull that would normally be reserved for
attraction. The qualification comes in during the �pull�
part of the push-pull. Instead of pushing and pulling with
equal force, we begin to pull harder and harder, escalating
up to a strong SOI.
The second method is to eliminate qualification all
together, and make our intentions incredibly obvious. This
method requires a strong SOI to be given at some point in
comfort. Generally it�ll sound something like this. �Wow,
that�s really interesting. When I first came over hear I
just thought you were hot, but there�s a lot more to you
than what meets the eye� Then again, I really like what
meets the eye.�
The second method works much better after a direct approach,
while Comfortication balances out an indirect approach more
successfully.
Comfort:
As stated, the comfort phase is going to be shortened
considerably. I suggest running one theme in comfort, and
turning it sexual as soon as possible. If you use the cube,
emphasize the horse. If you use the perfect guy routine,
emphasize his sexual nature.
Closing:
The close must be bold. There can be no hesitation, and
definitely no second-guessing it. When the time comes, we
have to go for it. Grab her and kiss her. Tell her it�s time
to go, and pull her out of the venue. There is no
negotiation. If she has to work out logistics with her
friends, make the process as fast as possible.
Seduction:
If you�ve done your job right up to the point, this phase
will take care of itself. However, LMR is not uncommon after
a speed pull. Microcalibrate your escalation, and focus on
working her into an emotional frenzy. Do not attempt to be
rational with her, this approach would work against you. If
you get rational LMR (�I just met you,� etc.), your freeze
out must be harsh, but short. The 100% Perfect Girl story
will also do wonders. |
