Via Jimi2x,</p>
<blockquote><p>IHAB game by the Joker (jack nicholson) in the first Batman:</p>
<p>Joker: Stop the press…who’s that?<br />
Bob: Thats Vicki Vale boss..shes a reporter..shes dating Bruce Wayne.<br />
Joker: Shes about to trade up.</p></blockquote>
<p>Good stuff. I&#8217;d call this Mischievous Jerkboy Game. It&#8217;s not mean, it&#8217;s supremely self-congratulatory. It assumes the sale (she&#8217;s more likely to buy if she thinks she already made her mind up to buy).</p>
<p>If a girl is alone in your living room at midnight and she tells you she has a boyfriend, you say with a deadpan expression, &#8220;You&#8217;re about to trade up.&#8221; Cheesy? Maybe, but if spoken like an afterthought the cheesiness morphs into cockiness. And you all know from your time here at the Chateau that <a href="https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2014/10/15/overconfidence-is-the-heart-of-game-❤science❤-edition/">chicks love overconfident men</a>.</p>
<p>Caution, I would use this line if it looked to me like she was already one vajflap into my bed. Subtler methods of psychological breakdown are needed fro girls experiencing sincere anti-slut hesitation and doubts, such as the takeaway and freeze-out.</p>
