RAVE NEWS - OCTOBER 7TH




THE PICK UP ARTIST

You might not know this, but the Montreal rave community has more than a few pick up artists living off of it's back, like fleas. Or lice. Or even weevils. These pick up artists are students of The Game, and members of a loosely connected community of men who methodically try to pick up women.

Montreal is one of the hub cities for this worldwide pick up community. It's part of a corridor of creepiness, along with Kingston and Toronto. All three cities have given birth to important members of the pick up community, though the guys from Kingston and Toronto eventually moved to the states. Our guy from Montreal though, is still here. He founded the Montreal Lair, a secret little group where men meet in real life to talk about their exploits, share tips, and plan pick-up expeditions. Several ravers are members of the lair (pronounced lay-her).

Ladies, a few simple tricks to spot a pick up artist. These don't work on all of them, but I've caught some in the wild before and ruined their night using the following guidelines, so these might help you out.

Pick up artists are generally fashion conscious, and will be overdressed when compared to the men around them. Their clothing will often be a perfect fit, while most straight Canadian men wear clothing that's a size too large. Their belts will always match their shoes, they'll wear layers to complete their look, and they'll almost always have at least one standout piece of bling - like a necklace, a bracelet, or a hat.

Basically, if they have the fashion sense of a gay man but they don't like sucking cock, there's a good chance they're a pick up artist. Of course, there's a chance they're a metrosexual, or have had some fashion sense beaten into them by one of their girlfriends, so you can't depend on looks alone to determine if they're creepy players or not.

Pick up artists who are out trolling for women generally do it with the help of a wingman. They'll often start out by socializing a bit with everybody in the area they're targeting to get a feel for the group, and to lower everyone's guards. Once they start hitting on their victims, they don't want interference, so that's why they butter people up. They are more social than most people, but it's a slightly mechanical kind of socializing. It stands out if you know what to look for. Once the crowd is buttered up, the pick up artist will focus a great deal of attention on whoever is closest to their victim. A best friend, a boyfriend, a brother. Whatever. They'll try to win them over, and failing that, they'll have their wingman play interference while they chat up their target.

Pick up artists, like dogs, come in a variety of breeds. Some play direct game, others have a more labyrinthine method that relies heavily on structure. They'll start with an opener, a question or statement that's meant to evoke a response from you. It might be something weird like "hey, my friend and I were having an argument, and we need an female perspective - who do women find more attractive, David Bowie or Johnnie Depp", or it could be something innocuous.

Most openers will either include or be followed by a time constraint - a sentence that places an apparent limit on how long their conversation with you will be. It'll be something along the lines "i'm going to meet my friends, but before I do, I need to ask you guys something...". They might not even have any friends to meet, but that doesn't matter. They just need you to think that you're not going to stick around for long - they're to busy to glomp onto you like a leech. Keep your ears open for time constraints. They're a red a flag.

One more thing to look out for - the ever popular neg. The prettier you are, the more popular you seem to be, the more likely you'll find yourself at the end of a neg, a minor insult or comment meant to put you on the defense. The goal of the neg is to create a social power imbalance that demands a resolution. He wants you to want his approval, and he insults you in order to compel you to defend yourself. He's making you make him like you. The neg is the players way of convincing you to convince him that you're awesome. He's tricking you into trying to pick him up.

There are thousands of little creepy tricks that these pick up artists employ to get women interested. Some are more effective then others, but many of these players are methodical, and will often spend countless hours trying different techniques in the wild in order to get an idea of what works and what doesn't. Every pick up artist has a different arsenal at their disposal, one that they personally developed over months and even years of experimentation.

These pseudo-casanovas might exist in every city, but because of Montreal's prominence in the seduction scene, you're much more likely to bump into a pick up artist here then you are anywhere else, with the exception of Vegas and L.A our rave scene is perhaps the most afflicted community on the island, since pick up artists consider raver girls to be easy pickings.

You've been warned, ladies!

bahahahaha antonino... pick up artist....

Noah you should have added: "One specific technique that you more then likely will encounter at any rave in montreal is the "walk around and take pictures of everyone" technique. The idea is that women like to have their pictures taken at social events so they can then take said pictures and put them up on various social networking sites, in order to prove how cool and social they really are. Thus what men will do is walk around with a camera and take pictures of any (usually underage) woman they see. This will then lead to conversation and the women eventually asking to have the picture of themselves sent to them. BAM instant contact info; women beware.

RAVE NEWS - OCTOBER 8TH




RELIGIOUS RAVERS

We're getting some reports of some funny god business happening at a few recent raves. No, no one's seeing images of Jesus printed on their rolling papers, or talking to magical bushes. They are, however, getting the good news from some Evangelical Baptists hanging outside the entrance of the raves.

Yes, ravers are now being proselytized to by Evangelical Baptists. The Southern variety. This has been going on for the last month or two, and it's only happened at a handful of events, and the evangelicals left after a few hours. They apparently stood outside from 11pm to 2am, handing out bibles and telling the party goers that they're going to hell, but if they open their heart to Jesus and repent, they'll find their place at the pearly gates.

I doubt it, but it would be awesome if this was the beginning of a trend. You sorry bunch certainly are sinful, and hopefully some of the faithful will save you from yourselves. Who knows, soon we might have Catholics, Mormons and maybe even Raellians preaching outside parties.

RAVE NEWS - OCTOBER 9TH




HAD HIS GF DELIVER TO BAD DUDES

This cracked out raver has a doormat of a girlfriend. The couple, if you can call them that, aren't exactly high class. You won't find them drinking Perrier while discussing Matisse at a vernissage, nor will you bump into them at the ballet. You might find them snorting lines of K in front of La Belle Province, swigging a forty, and arguing about the merits of taking opium by means of a suppository, though.

Classy, they're not. Crazy? In the words of America's next president, you betcha!

These are two very self destructive individuals. The woman, or girl really, has absolutely no self esteem, and chooses to tolerate what most healthy, self respecting women would find intolerable. Her boyfriend isn't just white trash, he's abusive white trash. He tried his hand at dealing drugs, and it didn't go so well. He got in trouble with some nasty people, and he owed them money. They were... insistent that he pay them back. They were quite physical in their insistence.

Instead of manning up and dealing with the dangerous criminals who were breathing down his neck, he sent his girlfriend over to pay them.

Now ladies, if your boyfriend ever sends you on a psychotic errand like trying to pacify a bunch of gangsters, dump him.

Please. Don't encourage the idiot.

I swear to JESUS CHRIST that my friend has read THE GAME and become the very same character you have described in that article. Wow. I was wondering where he got his fashion sense... Now I know. He wears a suit to a dive bar to out-class the locals... as if that will impress any girl! And he throws out those random questions you mentioned... I thought he made that shit up himself. Alas, it's all just brainwashing!

Personally, I think if you need a strategy to get attention from the girls, you basically fail.
It`s like admitting that the way you are is not enough to get said attention.

My two cents.

wait until you meet someone who's entire personality is pickup tricks. They can't talk to ANYONE (male or female) without trying to game them to exploit them; a guy who's only female friends are girls that he wants to fuck, or that he can get money off of somehow (because she's looking for a room to rent at 2x the rent for a total hole or because she smokes weed/can get him weed) and his male friends are the exact same - he only befriends promoters and DJs who can get him guest into events, guys who are looking for a place to live, or guys that need weed or can get him weed.

Shows up hardcore over-dressed to everything, has a "trick" that he can use to get people interested in him, wears pheromone perfume/oil everywhere he goes to fool the instincts of everyone around him into thinking he's this incredibly awesome, smooth, cool, friendly guy..

But really, he's got zero personality. He's like a computer program; if someone says X, I say Y, if someone does Z, I do A or C. Strip away the [ fastseduction.com ] guides and you've got someone that's completely and totally hollow and devoid of actual personality.

Agreed, but really, the joke is on them.
I mean, they don`t fool anyone. And well, these tricks werk with strangers, not people you see every week. It`s really funny really. I love to watch peeps, and those are teh funnay.

And yeah, before some smart ass points out that I put a lot of effort in my appearance, and wear axe on a daily basis, I`d like to mention that well, there`s a difference between liking one self, and trying too much.

man, you have no idea how many people this works on.. KNOWING the tricks to look out for and knowing this guy for 7-8 years, it worked on me. It worked on pretty much everyone I ever saw him interact with. I can literally only think of three girls that he went after and wasn't fucking within 3 hours.

Lulz, we agree on that particular case.
There`s also another one, only difference is zero success.
I spy something purple. Get mah drift?

Thing is, but default, if they both read this, they'll never even reply anything.
Cuz you know their motto : Never talk about the game :)
