Player Myth #4081: The Dope Ride

Here is another of the greatest misconceptions about being a G: The Need for a Dope Ride. (Click Here for Player Myth #4080: The Need for a Dope Crib and Player Myth #4080: The Need for a Dope Crib Part II)

Now, look, I have had dope rides in my day; a mint 1963 Lincoln Continental with Suicide Doors (and I don’t mean Suits VS SuicideGirls, either), a 72 Cadillac Coupe DeVille and a 2005 Cadillac DeVille (in 2005) so I am up on what I am putting down. And I can tell you that the lion’s share of the attention you get from dope rides is from guys not girls. Usually it is some skippy “congratulating” on how “sick” you ride is followed by tales of how they “used to own” a dope ride similar. Sh*t gets tired real quick.

If you think having a dope ride will get girls stepping to you, you are in for a surprise. Even in Southern California.

Doubt me?

Next time you see a Ferrari roll by, 99 times out of 100 you are going to see it with some solo dude or some cat and his weesh buddy. Rarely if ever will you see it with a fly girl attached.

Ferrari’s and other rides at that price point simply aren’t with it in regards to swooping girls. Hell, you would need to swoop like 30,000 girls to even make it pencil out. A highly unlikely occurrence, even for the most G of International Playboys.

Another word on Ferrari’s: max you can only fit one or two girls inside. Personally, I like rides that you can fit three or four girls in, hence the need for a Lac.

Hell, when I was a young up and coming Playboy on the rise, I drove a Ford truck (mostly for low-profile purposes). Granted, I was in my heavy “transport” days and uncrowded point breaks in Norte Baja days but I still peeled fly girls like a fresh Papaya in Panama.

So what do I do these days?

Truth be told, I don’t drive much anymore. I am usually waxing too much of a headbuzz and driving is the easiest way to get yourself caught up in the “Shitstem”. Nowadays, I mostly spend my time traveling, primarily in cities where having a car is more hassle than it’s worth.

Now I never get parking tickets, get towed, get DUI’s, get busted with 100 lbs of grass in the trunk or have to pay for car washes, oil changes, new alternators, or gasoline.

If I do need a ride, I have drivers on call. My cell is literally full of town car drivers and cab drivers. In fact, the only thing I have more of in my cell, is numbers of fly girls.

(If I do have to drive to The Del Mar Racetrack or a summertime Mansion Party, I still do it in a Lac).

Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Custom Suits

People always say, “All he talk about is money. All he do is show his cars.” Most of the time you get that from a broke m*therfucker because they can’t afford the finer things in life. I am a risk-taker. I live in Vegas. You got to be a risk-taker. If I can afford the finer things in life, why not go and get them?

You can’t take none of this sh*t with you when you go away. The only thing you take with you is the suit you got on and hopefully that’s a Custom Suit.

Well said Floyd. Must have been reading The G Manifesto.

Player Myth #4080: The Need for a Dope Crib

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

Click Here for A Dead Bat in Paraguay

Roosh just wrote a data sheet on swooping girls in Brazil while living in a Favela. This reminded me of one of the biggest Player Myths out there: The Need for a Dope Crib.

Here is a little story of when I was a younger prototype G.

At the time, things were getting hot for my Running Partner and I in America. So we moved some green like Minnesota Fats, and rolled down to Costa Rica and Panama for an extended stay.

After relaxing in the jungle and indulging on olas to the brain, it was time to move back. Actually, we were out of dough. In fact, we were so broke that we literally only had enough money to rent an studio apartment in the worst building in our hood. Granted, our “hood” was one of the most beautiful and wealthy beach towns in Southern California, and a block from the beach. Still, it was pretty much a shanty.

That all being said, I can barely remember a time when I swooped so many fly girls as in that crappy crib. We would roll down to the beach daily, spitting The Greatest Pick up Line of All Time and roll girls back up. Once back in the crib, all we had was two beds on the floor, so swooping was basic. A real minimalist approach, if you will. All hours of the day and night, we had fly rich beach girls knocking on our door.

In short order though, we got back in biz, got our Bankrolls tight and we could move out.

With all the girls we were swooping, I remember having second thoughts.

Bottom line, Game will take you a lot further than a dope crib.

New Orleans Bans Ed Hardy

New Orleans Bans Ed Hardy

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

Since I have been down in Cartagena, mass people tipped me off on the banning of Ed Hardy in a New Orleans Nightclub:

The idea came to Nick Thomas, Director of Programming, while watching the MTV show. “The whole thing is so funny because I was literally watching Jersey Shore in passing at 4 a.m. after being at Republic I thought, nothing would make me happier if not a single person dressed like this was in Republic. Then I thought, “Why can’t that be the rule?” The club put a flier on its window at Mardi Gras and the dress code spread across Twitpix which led to a mention on NPR. “It’s been well received because we have the best clientele, but I never thought the story would have this kind of national merit.”

Specific brands mentioned include No Affliction and Ed Hardy, but Thomas clarifies that, “The dress code isn’t limited to those brands, those are just the most obvious of the Jersey Shore-esque attire.” He includes “any other knock bedazzled tee shirts or hideous foil inks. The dress code isn’t about the brands, but the people that wear those brands. If a big beefy guy, over worked-out with way too much hair gel is copping an attitude at the door or anything within that realm, he’s not getting through. Ultimately if the clientelle in the club isn’t starting fights or disprespecting women, everyone in the venue can have a good time.”

In case you can’t see the photo clearly, it says: “If it’s on Jersey Shore it’s not coming through the door: No Affliction, No Ed Hardy, No Christian Audigier, No Exceptions.”

I love New Orleans.

Sharp, Urban, and International

The G Manifesto » 22 February 2010 » In Guest Manifesto, Guide, Style, Travel » 10 Comments

Guest Manifesto: Sharp, Urban, and International

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

Trends for 2010: The next decade will be won with custom suits, urban adaptability and international mobility.

“You might not always be the smartest, richest, or best looking person in a room—but you can be the Sharpest Dressed. Work on the things you can control. Believe me, if you know my Tailor you can be the best dressed in any room you step into.” – MPM

The custom suit can play many different roles and, chameleon-like, can mean different things in different situations. Retro or futuristic, subtle or outrageous, the suit is the ultimate in adaptability. Movie stars and rock stars, heroes and villains, philanthropists and gangsters – all these men and many, many more have dressed to impress.

Going suited down is the best way to avoid blending in with the “casual crowd”. Wearing a hand-rolled Borrelli tie or a flashy, flagrant and far from low-key pocket square by Etro will always separate you from the status quo. They say you never judge a book by its cover, but you do take someone more seriously when they are suitably attired. “If you are wearing a suit and tie, doors open for you. If you show up casual, you aren’t going to get into certain places.”

This trend is ripe for 2010. Adam King, co-owner of the bespoke suit company King & Allen in London, says he has seen a twenty per cent increase in first-time customers: “People who wouldn’t previously have worn a bespoke suit, or even a suit at all, are coming to us because they want to sharpen their image.” Custom shirts by Charvet and Tmoro Benson Leather shoes by Tod’s never hurt anyone, either.

Urban Environments

Economic growth depends on productivity, and the most productive people are often the most mobile. Every country, region and city is engaged in a global battle for talent. The most creative people can live more or less where they want. They therefore tend to pick places that offer not only material comfort but an upbeat atmosphere as well. This makes life more fun. It also fosters progress. When clever people cluster, they can bounce ideas off each other. This is why rents are so high in Manhattan (it is also why there has been a population surge in Singapore). Robert Lucas, a Nobel economics laureate, argues that the clustering of talent is the primary driver of economic growth By almost any measure, the larger a city’s population, the greater the innovation and wealth creation per person. This is unlike small town America, where low-density sprawl and unsophisticated employees suffocate the postindustrial economy. Place still matters in the modern day—and the competitive advantage of the world’s most successful cities is growing, not shrinking. This is a trend that’s on the rise.

A crucial contributory factor to the development of global cities is the arrival of new talent to replenish their energy (never underestimate the need to replenish: Always Drink Fresh Blood). In short, cities’ diverse economic and social structures are the true engines of growth.

The jostling of many different professions and different types of people, all in a dense environment, is an essential spur to innovation—to the creation of things that are truly new. And innovation, in the long run, is what keeps cities vital and relevant. Remember, if you don’t adapt you become extinct.

Internationalism at its finest

“You want to be “Worldly”. Know about current events. Get “inside information” Everyone, and I mean everyone, finds Travel and Foreign lands interesting. At least anyone you want to get to know.” – MPM

While there are no hard numbers, more Americans seem to be trying to qualify for additional passports. They want to make sure they have two passports based on nationality because there are numerous benefits. Among those is the ability to work without restriction in various countries, particularly with passports from countries in the E.U. Dual nationals are doing better than ever, especially now that the E.U. has grown in size and scope. Multiple passports are also a way of hiding where one has been, which has obvious advantages.

Anyone considering dual passports should think first of the tax consequences, though–you can get certain exemptions because you’re a U.S. citizen. However, given the high tax rates in the U.S., a full-blown conversion to another nationality wouldn’t be such a bad idea. International mobility goes hand in hand with capitalizing on urban environments, making travel a priority.

This leads to the Five Flags Theory (think of it as the original “4-Hour Workweek“). Perpetual travelers are those who live in such a way that they are not considered a legal resident of any of the countries in which they spend time. By lacking a legal permanent residence status, they seek to avoid the legal obligations that accompany residency, such as taxes on income. Macao is an innovative move, and Buenos Aires is an opportunity waiting to unfold.

Help an Old Lady Across The Street

Help an Old Lady Across The Street

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

Yesterday on “Old-School G Move Week” on The G Manifesto, we broke down the data sheet for: Give Back to The People.

Today, we are doing a way old-school, almost extinct move: Help an Old Lady Across The Street.

Anytime I am rolling around the streets, Custom Suited Down, heatered down, spiting Game at fly girls, I always keep my eyes peeled for old ladies that need help across the street. This is a real classy, stylish move.

First off, you are helping someone, so your Karmic account goes off the charts. And if you are anything like me, you can always use help in squaring your accounts.

A huge side benefit of this move is that fly young girls check you while you are doing it. Any International Playboy, worth their weight in gold, can then transition the momentum into a swoop on a girl on the other side of the street.

It has the same effect as dancing with the grandmother at the wedding. Or chilling with the older kittens at The Racetrack.

Young kittens will see you talking with them and think you have tons of class. The old kittens also have some funny stories, and when you charm them they introduce you to their family and other young kittens. Source

I have done this move from New York to London, LA to Tokyo, while I destroy fake players and my rivals get broke, Yo.

Just make sure you look both ways before crossing the street.

Hugh Hefner: Losing Ground Fast

Hugh Hefner: Losing Ground Fast

(Here is my Facebook and New Twitter)

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

Check out these pictures from the most recent Party at The Mansion: Playboy Mansion Halloween Party Pics: October 24, 2009 (picture above, not from the gig).

Looks like your average tramp fest.

I went to the Playboy Mansion back in 2001. Legit.

Alas, all good things must come to an end.

I don’t know if I have spent too much time in Southern California and Las Vegas or what, but the “completely fake body, vapid, idiotic, pseudo-p0rn star” girl is holding less and less appeal for me, beyond a night.

Especially when at a civilian gig. Gentleman’s clubs still hold their appeal.

Better off picking up a girl out of the Venetian Ocular Bar or the Rhino.

Same result, less headache.

But the amazing thing is that Hef’s gig looked to have B and C grade “completely fake body, vapid, idiotic, pseudo-p0rn star” girls.

Let’s give the cat credit where credit is due. He has had an amazing career. A living Legend.

It’s not my style to disrespect our elders in The Game. And it certainly isn’t my style to take shots at an aging icon.

Even though I didn’t consciously bite his stilo, I do find myself in a smoking jacket while rolling around my own crib. So I do have to give him mad props.

For the record, I do have a “technical” win over Hefner. I know a guy who defeated him. And I went like 22-0 (22 KO’s) VS that guy.

And that is all I am going to say about that. I don’t want to get “blackballed”.

(Hef, if you want some help re-jump starting the brand, put word on the Street. I will get back to you.)

The Dark Triad: Narcissism, Thrill-seeking and Deceitfulness

The Dark Triad: Narcissism, Thrill-seeking and Deceitfulness

(Here is my Facebook and New Twitter)

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

Women might claim they want caring, thoughtful types but scientists have discovered what they really want – self-obsessed, lying psychopaths.

A study has found that men with the “dark triad” of traits – narcissism, thrill-seeking and deceitfulness – are likely to have a larger number of sexual affairs.

Peter Jonason, of New Mexico University in Las Cruces, believes that these traits may have an innate, genetic component that explains why some men seem unable to stop themselves behaving badly.

Source

Science now backs up my steez. I have always thought that Narcissism, Thrill-seeking and Deceitfulness were three of my better qualities.

Add custom suits to the mix and you are doing much better than fine.

Hipsters VS Douchebags: A Modern Day Mods VS Rockers

(Here is my Facebook and New Twitter)

Click Here for Hot Chicks with Douchebags

Anyone who has been doing battle in Nightworld over the last decade has noticed there are two main groups are out there: Hipsters and Douchebags.

I try not to give these guys much thought, but being an active participant in Nightworld, I have these guys constantly messing up my visuals while I am swooping fly girls.

These fleeting thoughts usually contain an Acetylene Torch, Duct-tape, and bolt cutters.

I just cannot comprehend how the American male has slid so far. Think about it. Guys actually wear glitter on their shirts (Douchebags). And Guys actually wear super tight jeans (Hipsters).

If you are keeping score, it is certainly a sign that The Apocalypse is coming.

Anyways, I finally figured out (kind of) what it is all about.

Hipsters and Douchebags are a Modern Day Mods and Rockers. (Keep in mind, the Mods and Rockers were way doper than the Hipsters and Douchebags)

Back in the day, “The Rockers considered Mods to be weedy, effeminate snobs, and Mods saw Rockers as out of touch, oafish and grubby.” Source

The great part about the Mods VS Rockers was that the constantly brawled each other. Hipsters and Douchebags don’t really seem to cross paths.

Somehow we need to get Hipsters and Douchebags going head to head (so to speak) and eliminate each other.

Come to think of it, Ill get to work on that.

(Once it breaks out, the smart money is on The Douchebags.)
