Tip To Be A VIP: The Bodyguard Trick


Nothing says VIP like having your own bodyguard...and although most of us either don't need nor can afford a real body guard, it certainly gets people (especially the ladies) asking the question: "Who is that guy?"

So here is a great way to influence shallow people.....get your LARGEST friend and ask him to dress up in his best suit and play your bodyguard for the evening. Sunglasses and a possible fake "earpiece" add to the mistique. Get yourself on the list of a high end cocktail party with an open bar (Avoid clubs if you can because of the need to proove your "VIP-ness" by spending money on a table).

Make sure to rehearse with your "bodyguard" certain very important things...

When you're in the party have him approach women for you. "Excuse me ladies, my name is (insert interesting bodyguard name here IE: Olaf), I am the personnal security of Mr. Cox and he would like to invite you all to join him in a cocktail.

***Remember***

STAY MYSTERIOUS - The more mysterious the better, when the girls ask who he is and why he needs a bodyguard simply have your guy reply "I'm sorry but I'm not at liberty to say. (or words to this effect)"

.....nothing will peak the curiosity of those girls more than trying to figure out who you are and what you do......you can keep them hooked all night long.

And don't worry about your bouncer, as long as he gets a few girls at once, he will have plenty of oportunity to hit on the left-overs.

How To Win Fake Friends And Influence Shallow People: TIP #1


Photo By Seth: Red Eye Productions

Sometimes its all about who you know, but if you really don't know anyone and no one really knows you, then here's a trick that helps.

The next time you go to a pre-party, mixer, cocktail party etc (not a club - too noisy) bring a friend with you. When you walk into the venue, have your friend go one direction while you go the other. While you individually walk through the crowd, ask as many people as you come in contact you "Hey, have you guys seen ________ from ________."


Most people will say "nope," some will give you a dirty look, even more will simply ignore you for not being important enough to garner thier full attention. For those who simply ask "WHO?" have a quick and consise reponse that peaks their interest:

"Wow, you dont know______ from ________? You have to meet him/her." (Have a look of mild surprise and add a quick line that teases their curiosity but walk away right after you mention it) "I haven't seen him since the accident....so I wonder what he looks like now."


Keep this up while walking though the crowd. Finally, rendevouz with your companion somewhere in the middle and as you finally greet eachother, make a big loud scene like you haven't seen them in years.

As you walk together through the party, go up to a few of the people you asked earlier and introduce them to your friend as well as yourself. If thy ask your friend about the "accident" simply have him/her be mysterious and say "I don't really like to go into it."

Try it and see!
