Hey Courage
Why would you say the bookends of summer?

Daygame in San Diego
12-15-2014, 11:11 PM
I was in SD all last week - stayed at the Manchetser Grand Hyatt (excellent hotel with easy access to the gaslamp - would recommend to those with solid bankroll). The last couple of days, stayed at the Ramada Gaslamp (much more my style, prewar building, even better access to the gaslamp, way less expensive than the former).
Was swamped with work so no chance to game and only went out one night - Friday. Headed to "Prohibition", a speakeasy in the gaslamp - excellent drinks but terrible place to game. Everyone was paired up or in large groups, and the age skewed a bit older, and I was solo. Wasn't looking to game as much as get good craft cocktails and read a book on my kindle app on my phone.
Ended up sitting at a table and as I'm enjoying a Yamazaki and reading, a HB8 blonde walks up to talk. I'm pretty into my book so I aloofly respond but she sits down and keeps talking - anglo-american, raised in dubai, born in HK, uni in London. Pretty interesting mix - we have decent conversation about our travels for 20 mins, british politics, flirt a bit, but she's married and with her husband at the venue so I don't pursue it much.
She leaves for a bit and I'm back reading and drinking. She comes back 15 mins later and before she heads out of the venue she swoops over to kiss me on my forehead as my nose is buried in my phone and waves goodbye. Looking back I should've gotten a number for a future potential pipeline but my mindset was completely not on game unfortunately.
Courage Reborn is right - it is a welcoming city, the white girls while not models all have much sweeter dispositions, will engage in conversation, but most lack deeper substance. I was also surprised, at least in prohibition, how heavy some of the girls were (I was expecting SD to be overflowing with lithe/svelte women and my expectations were not totally met).
I don't think my kind of game would work in places like Fluxx or other club/lounges in the gaslamp where younger, more quality poosy congregates - but I would suggest to forum members that Prohibition is a place where you take a potential date/plate for drinks before a bang - not to come expecting to swoop.

I'm thinking bookends of summer could be good for the ending of, and lead-in to university. San diego is a young looking city, without a talent filled university in the downtown area (they're up north), so I'm thinking they only come downtown for nightlife on weekends during wintertime.
Been recharging my batteries in PB. It's a great little beach town, but It's almost all 2 sets here. Very rare to find lone wolf targets, compared to a downtown area with snipe-able lunchtime targets. I also feel out of place around such a heavy surf/skate/weed/party culture. The weekend nightlife is loud & boisterous. But its not my realm. At least not without a good wing.
Trying to quit my guilty pleasure baltic chick, and make a return to the city proper this week, and grind out the rest of the month to lock one down I really like. Goal is still a chick for sea world, bronx zoo, and a date/something fun to do for news years too.

5. Long blonde hair rock & roll dressed chick with tats & legs for days parks her car and walks to sit at the beach view by herself.
I was waiting for a Lyft at that moment. My ride was due to arrive in 2 minutes. I wasn't prepared to make an approach at all, standing there with my luggage. Had to really phych myself up to deviate from my current path. Plus it was early afternoon, and I just woke up.
Fuck the lyft. I might loose a little money. This is a golden approach opportunity.
I left my luggage in the middle of the sidewalk. Approached her from the side. "Hey, how's it going? ... Is this seat taken?"
Nursing chick from new york on solo holiday. My first tourist here. Chat for 10 mins. Her body is fantastic, but something about her face is turning me off. She mentions visiting the Bronx zoo and cooking italian food. It all lines up on paper, but I can't force myself past the failed boner test.
I stop spitting, and she's unable to continue the convo without my help. She gets awkward, and excuses herself.

6. Sidewalk. Half a block away walking towards me I spot a young brunette. I turn my head to the side and avoided eye contact so she could check me out. When we got close I quickly turned my head back and caught her looking. She smirked. I stopped and said "hey". Unfortunately she had bad skin and hot mess makeup. I chatted her for a polite minute about meeting random people on the sidewalk, then cut bait.
7. Long curley leather jacket brunette across the street. I change trajectory to intercept. Feeling more bold. She had a very heavy European accent. Gave me a death stare on her response. I jog off.
8. Trolly platform. A thin high heel wearing brunette with ass for dayz standing alone waiting. I roll up and just stop in front of her with a smirk on my face. She beams a big smile and says "hello!". Swiss tourist chick. Heavy French accent. "Is this a good trolly?" I say really dumb things sometimes when I already have attraction and I know it doesn't matter. Within 1 minute I'm touching her arms, and she's punching me when I tease her for not being able to speak German. I find out which train she's waiting for, read the sign, and do a quick mental calculation. I have 7 minutes to make something happen.
I touch, tease, and get green lights all around from her. I'm having so much fun, I neglect to take her number, or invite myself to the party she's heading to. Train comes and she pouts that she has to go. Instead of following for the ride, I whip out my phone like an amateur and take her number.
9. Sidewalk interception curvy mexican chick in black tights. I'm not that attracted up close, and she was walking fast before stopping. I thank her for the intel and she hustles off.
10. Blonde wearing high top soccer socks. She walks up about to pass me. I turn my head "excuse me!" but she's got earbuds in. She either can't hear, or she's ignoring. I follow like a stalker for another few lights, until 1 turns red, and we're stopped on the corner together. I walk in front and just look at her until she smiles and takes out her earbuds. I tell her I dig the socks, and she laughs. She's older up close that I had thought, and I can't pass a boner test. I eject.
Starting tomorrow, I'm on a strict schedule for work, gym, and approaching.
I'm enforcing a new dinner policy too; to eat out seated at the bar next to other people every night this month. It costs more, but I've met lots of friendly people & bartenders this way. People in SD are so friendly, for a native new yorker it's almost sickening. Love these local people.

It's a great city for life in general. Average for game.

Old thread I Know but I have some questions. So I'm under 21 so I'm gonna try some day gaming. Currently it's spring break so I'm expecting a lot of talent to be at the beaches. I'm assuming PB during the day, gas lamp during the night? Not sure how heavy they card here

To compound this problem they also have a slight sense of superiority when often times barely ever having gotten outside SoCal, Vegas, and Mexican beach towns.
Lmao Travesty just described me. Except for the introspection part cuz I'm quite introspective and I'm more authentic and deep than most Cali people due to my honesty and extroversion but boy do I have a superiority complex and I have never gone anywhere as an adult but around SoCal, to Vegas, and to Tijuana lmao.
