Alpha Playboys always ask for directions to Starbucks

Ok, ladies. Go do some lady stuff, like vajazzling or banning bossy or having pillow fights or whatever it is you ladies like to do, because we have some MAN STUFF to talk about today. Oh, gay guys, you can leave too. We STRAIGHT MEN are going to be talking about how to develop MAD GAME with the ladies so we can become Master Pickup Artists.

I’d like to start by sharing some dope new information I found on the game blog of ALPHA PLAYBOY “Christian McQueen,” who despite the obviously fake name is an actual real game guru taken seriously by dudes who apparently spend considerable amounts of money on his ebooks and “coaching” and whatnot.

But sometimes, in little acts of mercy for the financially challenged, he shares some of his wisdom with the thirsty men of the world for free.

And that’s the case with his brilliant STARBUCKS OPENER which, again, I am not making up. It is an example of INDIRECT GAME, in that you don’t just walk up to a woman and ask her if she wants to have sex with you. It’s a DAY GAME opener, which you use in the DAY and not at a night club.

Anyway, this is what you do. (You might want to write this down.) You walk up to a sexy lady on the street and you say:

“Excuse me. Do you know where the closest Starbucks is?”

BAM! And you’re IN LIKE FLYNN!

Ok, ok, I can sense that some of you may not appreciate the genius of the STARBUCKS OPENER. Some of you even think it sounds a little dopey and not really very sexy at all. Did Casanova go around asking ladies for directions?

Well, let’s let Mr. McQueen explain why his idea is so freaking brilliant:

The Starbucks Opener is absolute GOLD because of a few reasons that I’ll break down right now:

EVERY girl in the world, well 99.9% of girls, LOVE Starbucks. The moment they hear the word ‘Starbucks’, they get happy.

I went and looked for some polling data to support this statement of his and discovered a Rassmussen poll from 2011 showing that 34% of American coffee drinkers have an unfavorable opinion of Starbucks; an earlier Rassmussen poll found that 73% of Americans think that Starbucks is overpriced and 76% say they rarely if ever visit the stores.

I guess they forgot to ask the cute girls what they thought, huh? Probably a bunch of BETAS.

There’s Starbucks all over the world. If you live in Japan and you’re reading this, you can use this line. If you live in Texas or Canada you can use this line. It’s a Global Friendly Line.

Well, pretty much. I mean, Starbucks is in 64 different countries out of 196 in the world, which means that technically speaking most of the countries in the world don’t actually have any Starbucks in them. There are no Starbucks at all in sub-Saharan Africa, or most countries in South America, or much of Eastern Europe or Central Asia. But frankly, most of the countries that don’t have Starbucks aren’t countries that ALPHA PLAYBOYS want to be hanging out in anyway. Just make sure to check to check this map before you try using this line!

‘Starbucks’ equals comfort drinks/food for most people who go there. When a girl hears the word ‘Starbucks’ come from your mouth, she subconsciously goes to that place of feeling happy, safe, comfortable and content. By it coming out of YOUR mouth, she will automatically associate you with those feelings, albeit to a lesser degree. ANYTHING that you can say that gives you an edge from your opening line is good, because it builds comfort in her.

Other “comfort” words and phrases you might want to try to work into your openers: “pillows,” “puppies,” “mashed potatoes,” and “some place far, far away from Chrisian McQueen.”

When you mention ‘Starbucks’, you’re mentioning a globally recognized BRAND. By being a fan of Starbucks and seeking it out, you’re a part of the ‘club’, the fan club of Starbucks that it.

Chicks LOVE BRANDS! Here’s Forbes’ list of the World’s Most Valuable Brands. See how many you can work into your conversations with the babes! It should be easy to incorporate such well-known names as Microsoft, Oracle, General Electric, Samsung, and Frito-Lay. Extra points if you can manage to mention Siemens without giggling.

When you ask a girl where one is, she’ll automatically put you in the ‘normal human being’ category, because ‘normal’ people drink coffee and usually from Starbucks. Any association with something that is popular and normal helps you build comfort.

Asking where the nearest STARBUCKS is, because you want to drink COFFEE, like a NORMAL PERSON, is good. Asking where the nearest GROCERY STORE DUMPSTER is, because you want to EAT FOOD FROM THE GARBAGE like some DAMN HIPPIE DUMPSTER DIVER is not so good. Unless the babe you’re hitting on is a damn hippie dumpster diver.

You can use STARBUCKS OPENER even if you already know where the nearest Starbucks is, because lying is ok if it helps you to get into a woman’s pants. Just don’t use it if you are literally standing in front of a Starbucks, as field-testing indicates that this approach tends to elicit responses like “right fucking here, you asshole,” and “what the hell is wrong with you?”

Now, Christian McQueen’s advice is good for beginners, but if you’d like to learn how to hit up the ladies Man Boobz style, I suggest that you send me $10,000 for my ebook, MAN BOOBZ GAME which I will start writing the moment someone sends me $10,000 for it.

In it you will learn about 100 different INDIRECT KITTY OPENERS from the basic “I have a kitty,” to more advanced versions like “I have two kitties” to others you’ll have to pay me $10,000 to learn and which I haven’t actually thought up yet, but trust me, they’ll be good.

You’ll learn about DIRECT MAN BOOBZ GAME, achieved by taking indirect openers and adding the phrase “in my pants” to the end of them. Thus “I have kitties” becomes “I have kitties – in my pants.”

You’ll learn the fine art of MAN BOOBZ NEGS and how to respond when the woman you’re talking to gets pissed off that you came up to her out of the blue and insulted her. Take this sample dialogue, using my brilliant “that looks infected” indirect opener which I just thought up thirty seconds ago have extensively field tested.

You: “That looks infected.”

Her: “What the fuck are you talking about? What looks infected?”

You: Um, your nose.”

Her: “My nose is fine, you fucking creep.”

You: “Well, I’ve JUST STARTED MEDICAL SCHOOL so I’m not too good at this diagnosis thing just yet. But in a few years, when I’m MAKING LOTS OF MONEY AS A DOCTOR I will be much better.”

Her: “I only just now noticed how charming and handsome you are.”

Just think, fellas, five or six pages more of this sort of wisdom can be yours for only $10,0000!

I really hope no ladies were reading this because I was really hoping to use the “that looks infected” opener the next time I actually leave my apartment.

I actually do use landmarks to get around a lot. But I also can’t give directions to save my life. It’s like ‘Go past the fountain and a quarter way past the bodega and then go around the pizzeria and then turn two lefts and then it’s behind a tree.’

But I almost never get lost, while my boyfriend usually goes the wrong direction when coming back out of a store.

…now I want to do a documentary on PUAs and follow them around with a camera when they try this stuff on women and laugh. Then show guys who are just socially awkward and not jerks and go ‘See this? Do none of it.’

When is that MRA movie coming out again? I could just use that.

Aside from Mr. McQueen’s ignorance surrounding human behaviour…I don’t think the guy really knows what “comfort food” is. I love me a Cheese & Fruit plate as much as the next person, but comfort food it isn’t. The only thing approaching the comfort food level are their doughnuts…

I am a very friendly person who responds very well to being chatted up. I’m also one of those people who feels perpetually responsible for everyone’s well being. If I see someone struggling or confused or sad etc I feel like I have to help. Therefore if one of these disingenuous fuckwads decided to ask me where the nearest Starbucks is, I would wholeheartedly tell them and probably offer to show them or follow me there. If I didn’t know where one was I would probably try very hard to find out for them. If they persisted in chatting me up, I would reciprocate because I like chatting. If it turned into prickish negs or devolved into a come on, I would feel hurt, disturbed, and it would eat at me for the better part of a day. I’m sure my initial enthusiasm to talk and give directions would lead these fools into thinking I’m interested. I’m pretty sure my eventual rebuff makes me a cock tease.

Also, when trying to pass as a quote unquote “human”: disguise your chitinous thorax with a cravat, try not to release spores in front of her, and make sure you’ve downloaded the latest Personality Simulator XB-3000 driver updates.

Not really, but I think it may be in Toronto. I live out in the boonies…nothing but Timmies here!

I’m never even sure what creamers are.

Hydrogenated palm oil. And I’m pretty sure high-fructose corn syrup is involved, too. And maybe some modified milk ingredients to make it taste loosely like real cream…yum, yum, YUM!

(I used to eat Coffee-Mate by the spoonful until I realized exactly what that shit was. Haven’t touched it since.)

A potentially interesting map for coffee loving US’ians and southern Canadians: http://flowingdata.com/2014/03/18/coffee-place-geography/

Looks like M. McQueen should probably tune his technique based on his location.

Ooh! Caribou is my favorite as far as chains go. Part of me is glad it appears to be spreading. I fear the larger it gets the lower the quality go though.

I like Caribou too. I live in CO an I feel like it doesn’t really show up in that map as much as it should.

But those blessed by the Furrinati will still figure it out.

Smooth.

Though you had me at “I have kitties – in my pants.”

(Had me laughing hysterically, that is. Tx.)

Protip to anyone visiting here: DO NOT buy Gloria Jean’s coffee. I’ve no idea what it tastes like, but they’re owned by that horrible Hillsong mob.

Really? I always refused to go in there because they used “disposable” cups rather than proper china or glass. I’m soooo glad that the one near my favourite cafe has closed down. I’d half sorta blamed Coles because they own the whole mall and I presumed they’d raised the rent or otherwise done the dirty on the lease. Knowing that they’re deeply creepy and losing revenue, at least from this site, is a bonus. Ugh. I just checked, there’s one in our nearest big shopping centre.

Creamer??!!! Oh my giddy aunt. I’d always thought it was some kind of overprocessed, adulterated, sweetened, reconstituted powdered milk concoction that was so far from its origins it couldn’t legally use a dairy product name, like milk or cream, any more. That’s gross.

I think there is one Starbucks here. The official store locator gives me “no stores in a 500km radius”, though.

On the plus side, it’s flammable. If you sprinkle it onto a hot plate it’s like mini fireworks.

@ hellkell: Have you tried Texas Coffee Traders? They are close to downtown, they have a wide variety of beans, and the staff is pretty helpful. I bring it up because it’s one of my favorite places in all the world and I feel everyone should go there.

DreamingRainne (@DreamingRainne)

Are you new here, DreamingRainne, or am I behind the times?

Longtime lurker, and I comment occasionally since earlier this month. And a Welcome Package of my own! Thanks! I’ll add the SCENTED FUCKING CANDLES to my meager but growing collection. (Particularly fond of Lavender, myself.)

Perhaps one could go into Foul Ole Ron mode.

“Do you know where the nearest Starbucks is?”

“Buggrit, buggrem, see if i don’t! Millenium hand and shrimp!”

Lastly, the reason why this is such a DYNAMITE opener is because EVERY girl knows where a Starbucks is. Period. Guess what this means? This means they will give you Directions to get there. Guess what that means? That means she will talk to you longer explaining HOW to get there. This gives you opportunities to tease her like this:

Her: “Turn right by that burger place on the corner”

You: “They don’t name roads around here?”

Her: (Laughing) “I don’t know the name, I’m TERRIBLE with street names!”

You: “Apparently. My name’s XYZ.” (Turn your back for a second then turn back around to her) “Okay, what’s my name?”

Jokes on them, I am both terrible at giving directions AND have no idea where any Starbucks are! (I don’t drink coffee). When people ask me for directions I usually honestly have no idea, so I’m pretty used to ending such inquiries.

Also, if anyone pulled that “My name is XYZ… Okay, what’s my name?” thing on me, I can guarantee that’d be the end of the conversation. I would tell them to ask someone else for directions then leave. I don’t have time for mind games and that’s some pretty patronizing behavior right there.

The only time I was ever aware of someone hitting on me (I’m pretty oblivious to such things most times) was when I had just got off the bus at my bus stop once. I was smiling at a message on my iPhone and a random guy asked, “Is that smile for me?” My response was, “Uh, no…” As I walked away swiftly towards my apartment. To which he of course responded, “Can it be?” Because me walking swiftly away from him is clearly a sign he should continue hitting on me! Fortunately he didn’t follow me or anything, so it was only mildly creepy.
