Is your love lad talking to you about anything besides visas and cell phone brands?

Can he/she discuss books, movies, music, cultural differences?

Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2007 12:18 am

Well...I seem to be surrounded by cell phone enthusiasts, soccer/football specialists and VISA experts...the following other topics have "worked" so far meaning I managed to get him away from his usual playground and actually establish a conversation, even if only for minutes :

1. movies : Many lads seem to love cinema, they know quite a lot about it. I have found this works best of all. (They even watch Lord of the Rings.)
2. religion : Many are active church goers. (or pretend) So compare your church choirs etc.
3. football : well, hardly a surprise...with so many great players from Ghana and Nigeria players all over the world...
4. music : Many like R�n�B, highlife, gospel...even country. But it�s hard to talk about local music...but he usually is glad to share his favourite radio station with you - another half hour wasted searching for audio streams, music favourites etc.!
5. family stuff : Talk about your parents who tease you, siblings who take away your things...but perhaps your character better not talk of wife/husband and kids Wink

6. celebrity gossip : Paris/Beckham/whoever... the Royal family does not work though. Probably they have less yellow press at their hairdresser�s than I have.
7. status stuff : your car, your expensive traveling, ... it�s more of a lad theme and probably not off-topic stuff then.
8. clubs and cybercafes: Works sometimes. Ask for prices, drinks, music. Sometimes you find them on the net. How does laddie like to spend his Saturdays as a "single"?
9. weather: learn more about rain seasons, flooded roads, power shortages...
10. fashion (!) : Do you like this? Do you like that? How about these? Do you wear a tie? etc etc.
Many preferably foreign language warehouse catalogue websites for him to upload and wait for and lots of nice questions Twisted Evil

I like to "discuss" the lengthy cell phone discussions that way, too.

So far I have not yet managed to start a Harry Potter discussion or to find a jazz fan or indeed any reading enthusiast...political things don�t work, too...and cultural things are sadly very rare to learn from love lads - talking about it wastes his cafe time when he could be asking others for laptops and mobiles GRRR!!! My only try of learning a Ghana game directly from a lad failed, he said we will talk about this when you�re here, my dear YAWN!

I know this is in Love scams Red, so I'll keep things relatively on topic by saying that I've so far never taken a vlad off script. I just haven't found out yet how to push their buttons so to speak.... (But this week I am asking my vlad all about her favourite fruits, so we'll see how that goes).

Lads however, well I find that, like frumpy, mine love football. They will usually go off script like a shot at the mention of Kanu / George Weah / Insert name of African football legend here.

Unfortunately, in my last bait, my lad was not so much of a fan. After he'd told me for ages that he wanted to get to know me better, (as I was like a brother to him) I asked him about his football alliegencies and his views on the Premiership title race. I think it was at the wrong stage of the bait though (i.e. the pay day) so he was less than enthusiastic. He said:

Here's a chat I had yesterday with one of my lads. Just started my tenth week with him. Since my character hasn't shown any interest in investing in his stationary store or his building project he introduces a new business idea in this chat. However, he is quite easy to pull off topic.

Me (8/21/2007 11:51:44 AM): good, very busy
Lad (8/21/2007 11:52:08 AM): i wanted to put my uncompleted building on for sale
Me (8/21/2007 11:52:30 AM): oh i see
Lad (8/21/2007 11:52:33 AM): to raise some money and start a new bizness
Lad (8/21/2007 11:52:40 AM): wat do u think?
Me (8/21/2007 11:52:59 AM): what kind of a new business?
Lad (8/21/2007 11:53:27 AM): wanna go into importation
Lad (8/21/2007 11:53:44 AM): of floor tiles
Me (8/21/2007 11:53:48 AM): importing what?
Me (8/21/2007 11:53:59 AM): sorry floor tiles
Me (8/21/2007 11:54:01 AM): i see
Lad (8/21/2007 11:54:21 AM): what do u think?
Lad (8/21/2007 11:54:41 AM): is it the rite ting for me to do?
Me (8/21/2007 11:54:58 AM): i think it's a good idea, do you need a partner?
Lad (8/21/2007 11:55:27 AM): well rite now no
Lad (8/21/2007 11:55:55 AM): but maybe in a middle of it i may offer
Lad (8/21/2007 11:56:13 AM): i wanted to start on my own be4
Lad (8/21/2007 11:56:18 AM): what do u think
Me (8/21/2007 11:57:10 AM): if you think this is best, you know that market, I don't
Me (8/21/2007 11:57:25 AM): i can't really give you advice on selling floor tile in accra
Lad (8/21/2007 11:58:46 AM): well i'm not talking abt the tiles but selling my building,is it the rite thing to do?
Me (8/21/2007 11:59:15 AM): but i do know that if you are stalled on the building project you are probably better off selling it
Me (8/21/2007 11:59:36 AM): we had the chance to sell one house a few months ago but the offer wasn't what we wanted
Lad (8/21/2007 11:59:46 AM): u think so?
Me (8/21/2007 11:59:49 AM): but now it's still vacant and costing us more money
Me (8/21/2007 12:00:03 PM): we would have been better off lowing the asking price months ago
Me (8/21/2007 12:00:13 PM): so i see what you mean
Me (8/21/2007 12:00:30 PM): and yes, since you are stalled and don't see a way out, you should sell it
Lad (8/21/2007 12:00:39 PM): thanks for telling me
Lad (8/21/2007 12:00:52 PM): thank u baby

@mugatu: help me get past my ignorance here Embarassed

.....but why do i see so much talk about 'fruit' in this forum? What am I missing? I have my guesses, but what exactly do this term mean in relation to lovebaiting?

Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2007 5:49 pm

It all started with this pic of the vlad that the baiters are racing to get a trophy pic off.

At least I assume so Laughing

Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2007 5:52 pm

You beat me to it Wayne!

So there you have it Eye-ken-doo, it was all down to that fabulously fruity fraulhein.
It's the current "in" joke I guess. At other times, the vlads use cats etc, so watch out for gratuitous pussy jokes too.

Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2007 6:05 pm

@wayne & mugatu......thanks.......so to make sure I am understanding correctly, then this would be a pic of my newest vlassie showing off her soft black pussy? Laughing
