15-minute supergirls! December 23, 2006
Posted by Niels in : Other , trackbackReport from Melbourne AoA, Day 3.
On Sundays we cut our students a break and bring the girls to them. This is the day when we bring in the supergirls. These are cute girls that our students get to flirt with, just like in a bar, except this time, the girls give them feedback. They tell them what they feel – whether the interaction felt creepy, or comfortable, whether the guy looks relaxed, or if he looks nervous.
Unfortunately, Melbourne was our very first international workshop and unexpected things happen. Two of our guest instructors brought in their girlfriends to work as supergirls, which was great, but the other two girls we had found didn’t show up. With fifteen minutes left before the exercises started, I walked out of the front door of the hotel to find replacements.
Melbourne is amazing. Cute girls everywhere. The first two groups I approached were in a rush, but the third pair stuck:
I spot two cute girls in the crosswalk walking toward me, so I wait. As soon as they get to me, I open, and it’s textbook Art of Rapport. I ask them where Starbucks is, turn them 180 degrees, appoint them my new tourguides, and they start laughing. I flirt with them for a few seconds longer, but they’re still moving away from me. “Hey, where are you going?!” I ask. “I’m not done flirting with you yet! Come back here!”
And they come back. Which I promptly tease them about, of course.
I find out they’re not headed anywhere in particular, pitch them on being supergirls, and they’re in. I show up at the hotel 10 minutes later with two girls in tow, and they do great. They were a little nervous at the beginning, but our students were so awesome that the girls calmed right down and started giving great feedback.
The best part is that one of them didn’t even realize we were paying her for this. Yes, we’re that much fun. When all was said and done, the girls said they’d be happy to come back next time we were in town, and if they were busy they’d point us to some of their friends.
