Pickup: The Bitch Shield
First things first. I’m gonna eat some of the words I’ve mentioned in the past. No, the Hottest Babes aren’t taken by the richest guys. The hottest babes are first taken away by the Alpha males and if there are any left, they go to the rich guys. So things mentioned in one of my past blogs, are hereby withdrawn. My bad.
Having dropped the misconceptions one may have had about approaching women, the first thing I came across was the “Bitch Shieldâ€. Of course to tackle this B.S. you have to be an Alpha. But let’s get the single FC guys (FC – Frustrated Chumps) a little bit of a shocker, and talk about the BS.
This happed early June. I’m with TD, one of the best pickup artists known all over the dating world (see “Hitch� its based on him and such others present in real life). Now TD and I are invited by JT. JT learnt pickup skills and transforming his personality from TD. Reason. JT was fed up of sitting at home watching tv and having beers and meeting an occasional woman introduced through social circles, with whom there was never any chemistry. I find JT a true romantic (well, not as hardcore as me though). JT wanted to find the love of his life. Problem was JT was a FC.
If a year ago you asked JT to,
Approach a woman at a mall:- he would shit 30 times before taking a step in her direction. Approach that tall blonde at the bar:- JT would suddenly remember he forgot something in his car and run away.
Approach the exotic Indian beauty at isle 9:- JT would be looking for the nearest restroom.
.
JT, the typical average guy. He couldn’t take it anymore that’s when he received this email (as I did) which put him in touch with TD. 3 months later JT was a changed man and met this wonderful, wonderful woman at a conference whom he approached in an Alpha frame of mind. JT and this wonderful woman are today married and are expecting their first child.
Ooops. Sorry lost track. Back to the Bitch Shield. So here are TD and me out for a drink with JT who is telling his interesting stories, when we start talking about the topic in hand, BS. After about 30 minutes of talk, TD looks up spots 3 amazingly out of this world beautiful women sitting on a couch, talking to each other. The one in the center is a Mind Blowing Super 10+. I’ll call her MBS
TD: ok Oz. Enough of talk talk. Lets walk the talk. Go and approach the MBS.
One look at MBS and I’m trembling in my knees. (Note: doesn’t happen now. This happened a few months ago when I was still a recovering FC)
Oz: aw…I think I need to use the restroom
TD: NO, YOU ARE TURNING INTO AN EXCUSER. GO NOW.
Oz: Can’t I approach someone else
TD: No, IT’S ONLY HER OR NO ONE.
Seeing my plight JT interjects
JT: Give him a break TD. Oz – this is the last time you will refuse to approach or we’ aren’t meeting you anymore.
Oz: Ok. I promise. But look at her. She’s so beautiful. Someone up there has spent so much time carving this beauty out. Gosh.
It was true. One could keep looking at her and never blink. She was beautiful.
TD: Oz watch this. But remember. The reason I asked you to approach her was to experience the BS.
TD walks straight to MBS, kneels on one knee and as if MBS’s two friends on either side were non existent, TD looks right into MBS’s eyes and goes “You have mesmerizing eyes. I would like to know youâ€
MBS: Sorry I’m not interested. Please leave.
- Ok how many of us chaps could have handled that. Many would take a u turn run to a next bar and down a couple of patiala pegs occasionally muttering “BITCH†under their breadth. Other so called daring ones would go ballistic and shoot right between MBS’s eyes with words like “What the fuck is your problem…†blah blah blah.
Not TD.
Without a pause, without losing a single milli second, instantaneously –
TD: Gosh you have a lazy eye when you said that. LOL,
Then turning to MBS’s friend on the right
TD: Is your friend always like this?
Friend1: (giggles) sometimes.
TD to friend 2: I bet you like to dress her up but not someone to take out with
Friend2: (laughing hard)….
MBS to TD: Dammit go away. (slightly smiles)
TD to MBS: I bet you say that to all guys.
MBS to TD: I have a boyfriend
TD to ALL: So do I.
This does it. All three end up rolling on the couch laughing hard and bad.
MBS slaps TD on the arm: You are so bad
TD: You just touched me. That’s gonna cost you a drink.!!
20 minutes later JT and me had joined TD and the 3 girls.
Boyfriend or no boyfriend. Bitch shield or no shield. It doesn’t matter.
Other instances of a bitch shield, umm….here’s an interesting one.
Me: I need a female opinion
Blonde: Sorry, I’m busy [Bitch Shield]
Me: Do you think women wear too much makeup (this after I had observed that she wore light makeup)
Blonde: Hey, didn’t I tell you to fuck off. [Bitch Shield]
Me: I bet you say that to all men, so they can’t meet the real you.
Blonde: Whaaaa!!!!!!! [Bitch Shield]
Me: Are you always this loner kind of a girl
Blonde: What the fuck are you talking about? [Bitch Shield]
Me: You just looked to your right foot.
Blonde: So what[Bitch Shield]
Me: Psychology says someone pulled a truth string inside someone when one does that….so tell me who’s more handsome Denzel Washington or Will Smith
Blonde: Umm….well they…blah blah (for about 3 – 4 minutes) [Bitch Shield evaporates]
Me: OMG, that was short. Helped me get a quick nap.
Blonde: Stop it…(slaps my arm and starts smiling) [No bitch shield, positively indicating interest now]
Me: Do you like traveling?….
…and we were on….
The only way to face a BS is to see no BS. There is no BS. Try it, you have nothing to lose.
And please don’t start cussing, accusing a woman of being a B if you get any of that. If you do that, you aren’t an Alpha. It’s important to remain unfazed and move on. Neither you nor I know what’s going on in the woman’s life you approached and why she reacted in the way she did. Trust me. That’s a small price to pay to achieving your romantic goals.
And so far in over 3 months of approaches, I’ve never faced a face losing situation. It’s all in your mind. You have to be shameless and face the shield shamelessly yet walk away without hurting the woman you approached. Get this concept right and one day you may be thanking me for helping you find the love of your life over a couple of drinks. Ofcourse the check lands on your side of the table. :-)

I followed a link to your blog from SepiaMutiny. I haven’t done any work in the past 20 mins. I’ve gotta say, this post in particular is damn good. Being of the female persuasion, I think this is definitely a good technique!
