10 Rules of Flapjacks New Hard Scale
(see Flapjacks New Hard Scale for clarification on number values)
1) Never abandon a 4.4 or above hook
When you have a guaranteed 4.4 or above at the bar that you know you can hook, do not abandon her! There is always that temptation to see what else is out there because you think you can get a better looking girl, but chances are what you have in front of you is more than good enough. If you decide to leave your 4.4 and wander around the bar because you’re feeling good and you want see what else is out there, most likely two things will occur: 1) she will find another guy and 2) you will not find a better girl. Why does this happen you ask? The reason is simple, there are a ton of guys currently at the bar eyeing up the girl you’ve spent half of the night talking to. The second you walk away to survey the scene because you all of the sudden think you’re the sh*t, they will swoop in on her like a pack of hungry wolves. Maybe she’s not interested in them and she’s just patiently awaiting your return? Maybe she thinks one of these new guys is cute and enjoys his company? Either way, the risk/reward ratio here is not nearly high enough for you to take this chance. The lesson here is that unless you are absolutely 100% positive that you can get a better looking girl than the one you are currently with, stick with the 4.4 that you’re talking to.
2) Talk to 5 to stay alive
It is always a good idea to talk to at least five girls when you’re out at a bar, party, any social environment, or even walking down the street. Talking to numerous girls when you’re out, does numerous things for you. First of all, you don’t look like some schmuck standing in the corner holding your dick in your hand all night. It also gets you into a rhythm, gets you in the flow of the evening, gets your juices going, and most importantly it allows you to fine tune your game. Think of it like this; A-Rod isn’t going to step into the batters box to face a 95 mph Roger Clemens fastball without a little batting practice, right? You wouldn’t walk right up to Jessica Alba, or in your case a 4.4+, and hit on her without warming your game up either. You’d mingle and shoot the sh*t with some lesser known celebrity types like Nicole Ritchie or Shar Jackson before making your way up to the A-list celebrities. Before you make your way to the girl of your dreams, we recommend taking a few swings during batting practice, before making your leap to the World Series.
3) When in a slump…lower your standards
When you’ve gone two consecutive weekends without hooking up or at the very least getting a 4.4+ number, then it’s time to lower the bar just a bit. Everyone has a cold streak from time to time, it’s part of the game…even Joe Montana threw a few interceptions every now and then. When most people go out they usually meet or talk to one, two, or a few girls each night. However, we’ve all experienced cold spells or times when only the girls who we know that we can do better than are willing to talk to us. If you’re riding a streak where you have not hooked up or have not gotten a 4.4 + number in consecutive weekends, then it’s time to bite the bullet and take one for the team as they say. Even though your friends may make fun of you and give you a hard time for hooking a girl below your standards, the bottom line is that this will get you off the schnied. YOU will be the one hooking up that night while your friends will be the ones going home to their Playboy subscriptions. Everyone has done this, we’re not all proud of it, but sometimes it just has to be done…bottom line.
4) Keep something on the back burner
When you have a girl that you can call any night of the week and you can hook her, but you are not technically in a relationship where you have to spend much or any time with this person…this, my friends, is having something on the backburner. A lot of times this may be easier said then done and we understand that. However, have you ever noticed how much easier and naturally and effortlessly you can talk to girls when you have another girl waiting on you. This does not mean a girlfriend, as we are totally against cheating on significant others. What we are talking about is when you have a girl who you may or may not be that into, but you could hook her at anytime if you wanted…a booty call if you will. Having a person like this in your life WILL help your game. Whether this girl is a 4.1 or a 4.3, the number does not matter, what does matter is that you’ll now be able to mingle and talk to girls without a care in the world because you’ve already got someone you know you can hook. If you strike out at the bar that night, who cares? If you get a 4.4+ number that night, fantastic! Ultimately, having a girl on the back burner allows you to be yourself because you know in the back of your mind that even if you have zero luck at the bar you have something waiting for you when you get home.
5) NEVER COCKBLOCK!!
This is a rule that every guy should know, but sadly some do not. We all have that one friend who either intentionally or unintentionally cockblocks us without fail. We’re not really sure why he does this or what his actual motives behind this are, but regardless of what they are…it’s f*cked up. He may tell you that he’s just trying to talk you up to her or that he’s just trying to help you out, but in reality he’s closing in on your girl while all you can do is stand around waiting for him to leave. This is a very touchy subject because if you confront your friend about it he will obviously deny the whole situation and then get mad at you for accusing him of cockblocking. To all of the cockblockers out there : When you see your boy talking to a girl, feel free to give him a thumbs up or a pat on the back and then keep right on moving and find your own damn girl!
6) Keep the Hot Streak in tact
We’ve all been there, we know what it’s like when we’re riding that hot streak and we’ve hooked up or gotten quality numbers for a few nights/weekends in a row. Every girl in the bar is looking at us, making small talk with us, or you just have that confidence about you where you think, and more importantly know, that you can pull any girl in the bar tonight…things can’t get any better than how they are right now. But be careful, it’s easy to fall into a trap here and hook a girl who is less than a 4.4 in order to keep your hot streak alive. You must realize that when you are riding this hot streak your demand is at its highest point…don’t settle! Feel free to mix it up with a few 4.2s or 4.3s to keep your game sharp, but realize that you deserve more than that at this point. Be patient, good things come to those who wait. Ride that hot streak until your time is up and unfortunately everyone’s time is up at some point.
7) Don’t let your environment take you out of your game
We’ve all been out when the bar is empty or there aren’t that many people out or you’re just with a suspect group of people. You cannot let outside factors effect your game. Don’t let a rainy night, a sparse crowd, or not your regular group of friends effect what your goal is for that night. If your goal is to meet a girl then stick to your guns and stick to your game plan. The Yankees don’t bench A-Rod in Game 7 of the World Series just because he’s in a 2 for 25 slump. They stick to what has gotten them to that point, just as you should stick to what you set out to do at the beginning of the night. 90% of the time when you approach a girl you approach her by yourself. It doesn’t matter what chump friends are out with you…she wants YOU, not your loser friends. And yes, people still go out when it rains. As hard as it is to believe, rainy nights may actually be some of the easiest nights to meet girls. There are fewer guys out when it rains, which means there is less competition, therefore, making it easier for you to get some quality time with that girl you’ve been eyeing up all night. The bars are less crowded and less noisy when the weather is not ideal making it easier for you to get yourself into the right position and spit that A-game of yours.
8) Never hesitate
This is the one and only time that you should go against Rule #2. These nights usually come along when you’re riding that hot streak and everything seems to be going your way. This is the time when you walk into the bar and BAM you see a 4.4 + eyeing you up big time or you walk into the bar and within the first few minutes you see that girl that you just have to talk to. When this happens, you need to take full advantage of the situation that is presenting itself because this does happen often. Think of it this way, it’s first and 10 and Tony Dungy just sent in a handoff play to Peyton Manning, Peyton thinks to himself OK and calls the play. However, as soon at Peyton gets to the line of scrimmage he sees 10 guys in box and no safety. Peyton calls the audible and hits Marvin Harrison for a touchdown pass. When something at the bar looks that irresistible, sometimes you just need to call the audible and go for the touchdown. Simply put, there is no need to waste your time talking to five 4.2s tonight, throw Rule #2 out the window here. All you need to do is walk over with a smile on your face and say Hi. The rest as they say, is history.
9) Keep the crickets at bay
Remember that time when you met a great girl and you thought things were going perfectly then all of a sudden you have absolutely nothing to say. Your mind is blank and the only sound you can here is the crickets chirping off in the distance. Needless to say, when this happens, your ship is quickly sinking and “your girl” is quickly looking for a way out of this uncomfortable situation. Most girls are easy to talk to, but some are more guarded, quiet, or shy and for these situations and in order to keep those crickets from chirping you need to be prepared with numerous topics to talk about. It may feel like pulling teeth at first, getting this girl to talk, but be persistent and she will usually loosen up. We like to follow the 10 minute rule. If you are the only one adding anything to the conversation after 10 min…then you tell her that it was great talking to her, but you need to go make sure your friends haven’t left yet and that you’ll talk to her later. Maybe she realizes she made a mistake by letting you walk away and when you walk past her again 15 minutes from now she’ll be a little more engaging. If not, then she was not worth your time in the first place and you need to move on to bigger and better things.
10) Even Derek Jeter goes 0-4 some nights!!
Just like in baseball, there are going to be more bad nights than there are good ones. You only have to get a hit 3 out of 10 times in baseball to be a Hall of Famer. This means that even Babe Ruth struck out 7 out of 10 times, so if you go seven nights in a row without meeting someone up to your standards do not get discouraged. Derek Jeter strikes out plenty of times, but he still has faith in his ability just as you need to believe in yourself. Everyone’s time comes when they’ll have the perfect night and meet that 4.4 + they’ve been waiting for, just as everyone has to take their lumps and ride out those cold streaks. Don’t give up just because you’ve had a few weeks of meeting girls who you know you can do better than, it happens. We like to refer to these as foul balls…you keep your eye on the ball, keep taking quality at-bats, and it’s only a matter of time before you hit one out of the park!
1) Never abandon a 4.4 or above hook
When you have a guaranteed 4.4 or above at the bar that you know you can hook, do not abandon her!
