Interview:
Nige 54, Author, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 BABES!
Nige
a.k.a. "Nige 54" a.k.a "The Nigester",
it's great to have the opportunity to sit down with
the author of the hugely entertaining "Around
The World In 80 Babes!" and creator of the sensational
website www.nige54.com
Thanks
mate. That's very flattering.
So
Nige, what's your background, where do you come from?
Mate,
I just started out as an average guy from the suburbs
in Melbourne. I come from a middle class family, went
to a good school, then university and started work
in the city in 1998.
But
clearly you're not average anymore
Yeah,
well that's probably the case today. I made the decision
that I wanted to go from average to phenomenal in
all aspects of my life and I suppose that happened
after an awakening of sorts which is how "Around
The World In 80 Babes!" begins. But I am still
a very long way from where I want to go
I
have tasted the kind of lifestyle I want on a number
of occasions, but the challenge is to create that
and then maintain it every day.
So
you have a day job?
Yeah.
I have a serious corporate career in commercial property
finance that dominates my life from Monday to Friday.
So
what are your passions outside of work?
Oh
that's easy
partying with my friends, traveling
the world, meeting new people from different countries
and of course, babes, women, chicks and nudity - and
then writing about it. I love it!
When
did you realise that you had a gift picking up babes?
I
don't know if I have a gift
but throughout
my teenage years and early adulthood, I always did
reasonably well. However, the turning point came for
me at the end of 1999. When I looked back at the conclusion
of that year and realised that I had been with more
girls and was involved in more crazy situations in
one year than I had in my entire life, I thought I
might be onto something. I then went overseas in the
middle of the following year and at the conclusion
of my Contiki tour (detailed extensively in Chapter
3 of "Around The World In 80 Babes!"), when
even the Contiki tour guides were shaking their heads
at my statistics, I knew that I had arrived. I didn't
necessarily have a gift, but rather the ultimate strategy.
And
hence the title of Chapter 4 in your book "How
to Get Laid - All of the Time!"
Exactly.
So
is that why you decided to write "Around The
World In 80 Babes!"? To show guys the secrets
to picking up?
To
some extent. The main motivation in writing this book
was due to the amount of females out there who have
written books about men, dating and relationships.
With respect, so many of these books are just crap
and I thought it was about time we heard the male
perspective.
Is
that when you realised that you were living and breathing
book material?
I
suppose I believed that I had a life story that I
thought was more interesting than the fiction these
females had created and after receiving some very
encouraging responses from friends and associates
who I discussed the idea with, I knew I just had to
turn this idea into a book.
For
those who haven't read it yet, what is "Around
The World In 80 Babes!" all about?
This
book is about a lot of things. Primarily it is about
my transformation from boring accountant to ultimate
player through some pretty amazing globe trotting
adventures throughout some of the most popular party
destinations in the world. This book includes the
ULTIMATE guide to picking up chicks, but it also talks
about things such as how to organise a threesome,
what is the best age to travel, how to win when girls
start playing games, why you should hold girls accountable,
how the craziest suggestions can sometimes give you
the most amazing outcomes and at the end of it all,
this amazing tale turns into a love story that results
in the most unexpected twist which re-defines the
word "unpredictable".
Well
you're right about that as the ending totally surprised
me. So why is your book self published?
I
searched for agents and publishers throughout 2003
while I was living in Sydney and unfortunately or
perhaps fortunately, I didn't have any success. Many
of the people I approached enjoyed reading my manuscript,
but no one was willing to take the chance on something
new. Australia's literary market is very small, so
it's bloody tough. Instead I self published through
Publishing Solutions (www.publishing-solutions.com.au)
and they have been great people to work with.
But
self publishing means you pay for it?
That's
right. But by self publishing I also have complete
control over everything and that's pretty important
with a project like this.
The
book's called "Around The World In 80 Babes!"
Do you hook up with eighty babes in the book?
Ha!
I actually haven't counted. But I don't think so.
So
how many babes have you slept with then?
That's
a question I answered on my website recently
and
the answer is that while I have a pretty good idea
as to the number, it's not important. But according
to the statistics released by various surveys, I'm
apparently in the top 1% of men.
What
are your thoughts on relationships?
If
you're not planning to get married and/or you are
unhappy, then they are a waste of time.
So
if you are in a relationship and not happy what should
you do?
Break
up and move on. There are so many awesome babes in
the world that will make you happy so go out there
and get to work!
Did
any babes ever audition for your book, and if so,
how?
Ha,
ha, ha! It's fair to say that not every babe during
the time period that the book covers (1998-2001),
is written about otherwise I never would have finished!
But there were no formal additions
maybe
I could think about that for a future project?
So
who's your best score, your Number 1?
Man,
tough question. There have been some awesome Eastern
Europe babes, Swedish goddesses, American cheerleaders
and some Aussie beauties
I'll have to get
back to you!
What's
your best ever line?
I'm
not a huge fan of one liners but throughout "Around
The World In 80 Babes!" I had quite a bit of
success with, "Hi, I'm Nigel."
What
are your favourite meeting and pick up places?
The
fact is that if you have the right strategy you can
pick up anywhere, anytime. You can't go wrong on a
summer Contiki tour or partying in the Greek Islands,
but throughout the book, I had great success at the
"Zoo Bar" in London. Yet, after my recent
four week trip overseas my favourite place would have
to be Miami during Spring Break. Unbelievable!
Have
you ever settled down with the one women?
Yeah
I have. I fell in love with my first serious girlfriend
when I was seventeen and then again with an American
goddess during "Around The World In 80 Babes!"
To find out more you'll have to read the book.
Mate,
already have and just loved the ending! What reactions
to the book have you been receiving from men and woman?
Guys
love it. Girls want to hate it, but I think they can't
resist being drawn in and as such, I have received
some of my most positive comments from females.
So
who's your dream date?
Amy
Smart.
Really?
Most guys would say Pamela Anderson or Carmen Electra.
Yeah,
well I'm not like most guys. Most guys spend too much
time dreaming and not enough time doing.
Why
is a positive mental attitude important?
Because
it is the foundation that drives me. That should be
the case for everyone.
What
inspires you?
I
am inspired by a lot of things
from the
underdog coming from nowhere and winning to normal
people who achieve extraordinary things like beating
cancer or any kind of life threatening situation.
But I'm also inspired by people like Michael Jordan
and Tom Cruise who are champions in their respective
fields who continue to produce the goods time and
time again. The way Michael J. Fox has battled Parkinson's
disease has been awe-inspiring.
What
frustrates you?
Average
celebrities who get book deals and don't even write
their own books. Sporting personalities are famous
for that.
So,
is "Around The World In 80 Babes!" the groundbreaking
novel of the 21st Century?
Ha!
No question.
What
other directions do you see it taking?
I
would love to turn it into a screenplay or TV series.
Can
we only purchase "Around The World In 80 Babes!"
through your website
www.nige54.com?
Yes,
at this stage. It's only $24.95 Aussie dollars.
And
is there a sequel to "Around The World In 80
Babes!"?
Not
a sequel, but a trilogy. I have two more books planned,
but I really need the support of a publisher to ensure
a timely result. Writing a book while working full
time is a massive challenge that, at times, I can't
believe I actually completed. People always ask me
where I found the time and even I am still not sure.
That's why it took me nearly three years from writing
the first word to arriving at this point.
Well
Nige, I hope that happens as I can't wait for the
sequel, let alone the trilogy. Best of luck and thanks
for your time.
Thanks
mate. The pleasure was all mine.
Editors
note: The perfect book for every man.
