Fisto, how about these ideas?

Music: Obviously it cant be too loud but I was reading that thread on cults and how they use ambiance to hypnotize people. I think some low vibe quiet music on CD is a good idea. I could even time the tracks so it starts slow and escalates in some way. What music do cults use???

Apocalyptic closer: If a solo girl is giving me way too much attention coming home from the bar, I am just going to deadpan say to her "aren't you going to invite me in?" if she says no I will say "good answer, I wanted to see if you were that kind of girl. Toss me your number".

Reputation: What if I say the same thing twice and every once in a while I have the same girl in my cab and I don't realize it? My city is only 100k people so I mean its not like I have an infinite supply of new faces. A lot of these girls I will get multiple times in the long run.

Music is a great idea. Stores play upbeat shit to get people excited and in the mood to buy.

Apocalyptic opener can be toned down "i don't feel like getting back on the road yet, let's have a drink"

That would be a good time to have a bottle in case she's out.

I was thinking about you running the same lines and that's an easy fix. You're memorable, she will say something to you first. I'd be more worried about these chicks talking about the funny thing the cabbie said to each other and realizing you ran the same routine.

Also, game the dudes! You'll get invites to parties and who knows what else!

This is exactly what I am worried about but even if its not a line, what if one talks to the other about me for whatever reason. The prime place I pick students up from has maybe 500-800 people in it, the rest of the places the dispatch has to call you there. Would this statement be true for this exact situation? If I am attractive and I start fucking these girls they are more likely to talk about me where as if an older guy fucks them they would always keep that one quiet?

The apocalyptic line cant involve drinking because if its 12:30 I will hopefully be fucking her then heading back out, I don't want to get smashed then hit the road with peoples lives in my hands. I need to be fast, if I stop making money in prime time night shifts I will get moved to days or I am going to have to artificially inflate what I make out of my own pocket.

I think they would keep it quiet as far as you banging. I think you'll be good in any case. Just keep getting new material.

And as far as apocalyptic goes; dude you don't have to drink! You just have to get inside! Who cares under what pretense? Hell for that matter just ask if you can use her bathroom.

Like I said, my game is really bad. Cant wait to put what your saying into practice though, I actually want to go to work!

Super bowl night. My first thought for tonight is "dont talk about football" to girls because everyone I am picking up downtown has been in a bar for hours watching the game and most girls dont even care about it. Proceed as normal?

I am going to count the amount of girls I run my cab game on tonight and post how many numbers I get. I am aiming for at least 3.

I am going to text that 8.5 in my story tonight around 8pm as well and try to set drinks up for mon/tues night but I am banking on a "who is this" when I text her.

Another thought, asking something like "know any fun house parties coming up", is this a good segue into getting a number?

Might be, mate. Drop the "house" bit though I think. Gives you more options as going to a party can be anywhere. Give a little backdrop story or DHV though so you don't seem like a loser who doesn't have his own options.

Only 1 number tonight but it was massively satisfying. Picked up a guy and a girl that didnt know each other because people were jamming into cabs due to super bowl business. Dude started off by interrupting me and complimenting the girl and instantly trying to find things in common with her. He learned right away whos cab it was. Switched to dropping him off first not her "because it was a bit closer" and poked fun at her while cracking jokes and talking over/correcting him. He had nothing to say except laughing along with me from the 2 minute mark and beyond.

I'm going to set up a cab company in my town...

Have actually considered it in the past....

- Don't directly hit on chicks, don't need to be getting written up because some girl thought you were 'creepy'. Indirect game.

- Discretion. I know you mentioned that this was sort of a stop-gap, but all but the most shameless of girls will be a too proud to admit to their friends that she's fucking a cab driver. Discretion also serves you well in the game beyond this.

- Business cards; your name, your phone number, your job. It's a small investment that will help, because you won't always have the time to give out your number.

- As others have said, if a girl invites you in for any reason, I don't care if you have dispatchers hollering at you, you take it...but also be mindful of certain factors, such as how drunk the girl is. I would say only do this if she's 80% coherent or higher and if possible with witnesses (I wonder how long it'll be until we have Chappelle's Show style 'Love Contracts' that girls can sign off on that the sex was consensual in North America)

- Know the intel; if you know which club is bouncing, and if a cab full of girls wants to go to a graveyard, say 'I've been dropping lots of people and hearing lots of chatter about ____________ tonight.', 'I heard there was a keggar at _____________.'

- Don't be that beta schlub who panders to girls; I don't care how hot she was and how much she was flirting with you, don't knock anything off her fare unless you're fucking her.

- Stay in shape and dress nice, toe the line between 'put together' and 'trying too hard'. Most cabbies are sloppy looking older men, stand out.

- If you use the same car day in and day out, always keep it clean and smelling nice. As others have said, get one or two interesting curios, which should be easy if you've done a bit of travel.

- Fisto has some great suggestions for cultivating an interesting backstory.

- Your default vibe should be a mix of worldly-funny with a pinch of cockiness.

I got all of that together. I am still worried about having one of my cards getting back to the company and me getting fired so Ill leave out the occupation part off it. If I make them its just going to be my name and number right? Nothing fancy like a dinosaur riding a roller coaster picture or extra glossy?

I have another advantage in this, I am going to audio record these interaction(s) on my phone and hopefully some of you guys will listen all the way through and give me feedback of when I go wrong. Hope my phone can pick up the girl in the back seat. I have a feeling this will hone my sharpness even more because I know people will be listening to it.

Last night I didn't work in my book writing backstory once because I honestly didn't know how to bring it up without trying to show that off but no one asked me questions about why I am driving cab etc either. An inevitable question: "what is the best story someone has told you so far" in regards to the book I am writing, I am going to say something like a kid saving a litter of kittens from a crocodile in Florida, maybe I'll just make something really stupid and over the top here instead... dunno yet. Ideas?

I picked up a lot of people just coming back into town from bigger cities, was thinking of saying something like "oh our town isn't good enough for you? or "why did you leave our beautiful city in the first place?". Ideas in this situation?

One thing I did notice that was a huge tone changer was mentioning that I am trying to learn how to dance. I could sense the energy when I said that, both girls voices changed to a higher (more exciting?) pitch when it was mentioned. I talked about me buying a mirror off kijiji and practicing in my house. They loved that shit.

Someone here had the idea of just using a first name + phone number card (I want to say it was Kona...but I think it might have been G), I think that's brilliant. If you just have a name and a number and a superior finds it, how do they know it's not for a company you're trying to get off the ground? The amount of deniability you have is endless.

Boss: 'They said you gave them the card as you left your taxi.'
You: 'Yeah, they mentioned a friend who was in the same business and could possibly help me get started up.'

Be careful with recording/filming people without their consent. Instead of sharing it here, the best thing you can do is to listen to or watch them yourself, and notice what you did differently on successful runs compared to unsuccessful runs.

The Alligator is much more convincing than a Crocodile if you're using that Florida story; Crocodiles are only found near Miami and the Everglades, Alligators are fucking everywhere. My own observations tell me that girls react best to three types of stories; zany relationship stories, value-boosting travel stories and crazy party stories. All show value, all do it in different ways.

The dance thing is a winner, as is guitar, painting or learning a language. These days it seems like everyone is writing a book, so people tend to be less than impressed most of the time.

Hahah I am in Canada so wtf do I or her know about crocs anyway. My book is about other peoples stories so I cant really do what your saying, I need to think of a story that hits a certain emotional state on the girl but I cant think of a way to get there. Most of my ideas have to do with death, like a mother saving her daughters when their car drove into a lake or saving a box of kittens from an alligator etc. I dont think that is the right approach though? Should I even give a straight answer or say something bs "this guy fought off a killer whale with a banana"?

Book writing is nowhere near as common where I am from whereas learning a new language is very common and so is painting so I'll stick with the book. Two different girls in different situations had these reactions that made me say to myself "jackpot" when I mentioned I am trying to learn how to dance. It was magical.

Is it really that out of line to record voice? I am not taking a video and I think taking the audio would bring this to a whole new level since I can just put my phone in the drink holder and there would be no background noise. Maybe I'll just PM it to someone on here who is willing to analyze...

Good luck with it, I'm intrigued how it turns out for you.

I add I only drive part time nights and weekends because I came back to town for family reasons and I need a flexible schedule. Now I only do this if someone asks why I drive or how I got into this job. It always comes up because I am new and ask for directions a lot but I feel like I need to tell people that I am "more then just a cab driver". I should add I am driving around mostly University students in a highly rated school.

My generic advice to every entrepreneur or young professional in a college town - you're in Grad School. They're desperately trying to place your status in their world (freshman or whatever) and this puts you simultaneously in it and slightly above it - more than a even a Senior!

And after a year of cabbie stories, you're also "Writing A Book".

Post: #43

Another thing you might want to consider is not clowning all of the guys who get into your cab. Making a few friends can lead to more for you down the road.

I am steady getting a couple numbers a shift just being my normal self but making an effort not to talk about stupid shit like "what do you go to school for" and talk about the weather etc. I haven't dropped the book line once because its too complex and I don't need it. I don't have a massive amount of spare time and too many numbers already so I am going to close this chapter on cab game since all I needed was to take away a few mistakes instead of adding pretty big lies. Adding more DHV has no doubt helped me though.

I make lots of statements and I have a really good vibe as roosh puts it. A lot of the time by the end of the ride the girl is dropping hints to hang out. My vibe/energy when a cute girl gets in the cab is through the roof and starts the moment they say the first word. I had a cute blond hop in tonight and I tossed her a smile. She said "can you take me to x" and I slammed the steering wheel with my hand and said "FUCK NO" with a big smile on my face. She was holding my arm by the end of the ride. When we were waiting for the debit machine to go through I looked her right in the eye and said "I love anticipation". Pretty sure I could smell her pussy at that point. Btw what I said before is confirmed, if the solo girl gets in the front seat I would say 75% of the time (even higher) I can get her number if I want it. Its an instant sign of attraction/trust and all I gotta do is not fuck it up.

I get things like "I really want a reason to ditch my mid term tomorrow" and "tomorrow is going to be such a boring day". Whenever they mention lack of plans and the next day I know whats up. The thing I sometimes say before number closing is now being said to me, "maybe i'll see you around". They are coming to me.

What I really want to figure out is how to fuck a girl in the cab.

Post: #45

Made out/fingered a girl tonight in the cab in front of hers/her parents place. Did not have a condom or I am positive I would have fucked her. Got 3 numbers - could have gotten more but I was trying different ways to get them back to my place instead. Did not work. Girls were pretty horny and I think Fri/Sat is going to be better and lucky for me I wont be working.

Post: #46

fuck this is interesting LOL

anyways, I would tell them your dad owns the cap company and he only asks you for help when other drivers don't show up.

Post: #47

So I had this thought pop into my head today and I would like peoples opinions.

I live in a small/medium sized Ontario city that has almost no work in my trade since the city has been on in economic decline for 5 years now. I also get little to no personal satisfaction in it. I cannot drive cab full time in the summer since I am in a very walkable city and would probably have to work 12 hours a day to make $60-80. No thanks. I currently work Fri and Sat nights and once Monday hits I cannot wait for Friday to work again. I love this job so much I am thinking of scrapping my trade altogether and driving cab full time year round. Worse case scenario, I can always go back to it whenever I want. I didn't like Ottawa and its such a huge area I would need more experience driving there. I will never move to Toronto for reasons this board knows about but also because every person I have met who wasn't from TO and lived there for a while detested every second of it.

What to do? I am thinking of making the move to Niagra Falls. Massive amount of tourists, small enough city that I can learn the layout fast enough. I am sure I can make $200 in 10 hours work easily in the summer, day or night. I am assuming there are lots of horny girls looking to hook up and have a crazy time while visiting for the week. Seems like the perfect fit.

What do you guys think?
