When a Girl Asks you to Display Value?

[Hue]

This is kind of a niche question, but I'll try to generalize it as much as possible.

I rap. I'm not a rapper, but I can lay down a pretty solid flow on a beat. Sometimes, girls ask me to rap for them - and I have told them no every time. On dates, I'll say no because it's just not going to do anything good for the vibe. At bars, I feel like if I start rapping then I'm being "too extra". So that's the general sense. I have rapped at party's a few times but that's usually different and I'm probably the instigator with a couple of guys friends - maybe girls see maybe they don't.

For a specific scenario:
Last night, this flirty shit-tester girl asked me to rap, then when I refused said, "You have to! (Why?) Because I told you to! You have to prove yourself to me!"... which I didn't think of a better response than just laughing at her and changing gears.

What to do there?


In a meta / very general sense, what do you guys do when a girl asks you to display value? In one sense I get that "yea, show off your value if prompted, duh!" but in the other I feel like it leans into a chasey / peacocking frame.

Thoughts?

[Fuck This]

I always have a short poem in my repertoire for situations like this. I don't always pull it out though.

When a friend gave me value by remarking to a woman that I was a good poet, she said slyly, "I'd like to hear some" and I slyly replied "I'd be glad to when we can find somewhere a little more quiet."

That place was her room, and after I'd finished my poem she was on my lap in a lip lock.

Your best play is a variation of "when the time is right, I'll let you see me perform." That way you are doing it on your terms when most beneficial for your purposes. Not upon every request.

Great call. A private performance...


"I used to rap in public, but now I only bring it out for... private shows."

"Play your cards right and maybe you can book my next private show."

... or something of the like.


Thanks man!

Yup. Something along the line of "I only do it for special people." Then just shrug and smile when she asks, "Well aren't I special?"

I would open with that. Later on, if she's still interested, she WILL make the request again. THEN do the private showing move.
