Driving and finding what one might be looking for
[QUOTE=CephlapodLove;2869392]Hey, hate to sound harsh. But good mongering looks easy, consistent safe mongering is anything but easy?
Have you read and memorized the 22 Rules?
Have you internalized the strategies for dealing with LE as laid out in the first 20-minutes of the "Busted: A citizen's Guide to. " video?
When I started out, I drove the strolls for several months to get my eye trained, understand the traffic and figure out where LE was likely "hiding. " Anything worth doing takes a little time to learn. Can you take short cuts? Sure! But ignorance (lack of education) and thinking with the little head aren't good ways in my opinion of managing the risk of this hobby. Many don't heed the advice others would give here and many wander through the Court System too!
So have patience with yourself as you learn the traffic patterns, learn how to spot the girls, learn how to find LE, learn how to get the look, learn how to scoop a girl.Good luck & stay safe![/QUOTE]
That's some excellent advice from someone that knows his way to the candy store and back home again without getting into any trouble.
It is the guys like CL that have done it all and seen it all that you will learn the most from. These are the guys that have cut through all the underbrush and found the rose. Seriously.
Sometimes I myself will go home empty handed. That's a choice I make. Because every and I mean every time I hit the asphalt jungle I do see some girls. They aren't all jumping up and down saying here I am. There is a fair share of those out there also. So they are there. Girls you may think don't even know what a monger is are sometimes your best bet. One needs to find their own comfort zone in which to work. Finding out what works for them and sticking with it is the best way to find and get girls. Watch whats going on with others that are doing what you are doing. Whether they make mistakes and what the consequences might be.
Not bragging, but I constantly get asked where I find the girls I do. It's because I don't get intimidated with my approach. As some of you know I am handicapped. If I told the rest of you what my handicap is you wouldn't believe that I still get almost any girl I want. So, truth be told, if I can do it so can you. Never be afraid to get shot down. There are worse things that can happen. Especially down the way.
As CL says above, have patients, learn from your mistakes. Go with the flow and lay low. Hang loose and be full of juice.
It has been my constant habit when driving the Ave to scan the sidewalks and upcoming streets about 4-5 cars ahead. Yes I try to be mindful of my immediate surroundings. But if you train your eyes to scan ahead there are a few benefits. First you see what interests you before you are right on top of her. Also mentally you can pull off to the side without causing an accident or a scene. I don't know how many times I've been driving on the Ave and someone right in front of me sees the same girl I see. He goes ass over teakettle to pull over. Making it totally obvious what he's doing. Usually the girl sees the blatant approach and knows if there is LEO close by. If there is she won't even bother with him. I've also seen LEO pull right in behind stops like that and then the guy has a compounded problem.
This is just my way of doing a nonchalant stop. First thing after I stop I cut the lights. I keep my dome light in the off position always. That way if LEO is down the street he can't see if my vehicle door opens. Then I take my phone out and immediately place a text to my second phone. I wont get a response. So I immediately follow it up with this text. Hey Ralph, tried to roust you tonight. Guess you are busy. TTYL. That way if I am approached by LEO I can prove I stopped to place a phone text. Perfectly legal. There are many things one can do to remain safe. One never knows how important this advice is until they need to use it. The biggest thing and most important is to remain alert. Me, I'm just an 'OL Gator.
You didn't come across as harsh at all
Yeah for me the roads and driving are going to take a while to develop its not exactly covered in the DMV book.
Also yeah I've got the 22 rules and flexyourrights also Gator texting your second phone smart I would never have thought of that.
