Project Rockstar... Day 3

Its the morning after the night before and i still have a massive smile on my face. I've never opened so many sets in one night so it was like the equivalant of 6months of lone-ranger game. It was great to have the other guys to come in and wing or even just walk past and give you a high five to make you look uber cool.

We got there early so had a chance to gain some theory knowledge from 5.0 . who also told us about a few new ideas he's working on like some advanced kino theory. He is great company and a little bit mischevious and cheeky with his game. I think my style is probably closer to 5.0 than it is to the other instructors so was wicked to work with him. He seems to have quite natural game anyway so learning game is like giving him the keys to the kingdom.

Luckily my first few sets were watched by 5.0 so he was able to give me solid instructions so each set improved gradually. Here's what i learnt:-

First set, i was leaning too far back. (amongst other things)
Second set, needed to reposition the girl add a bit more kino .
Third, worked on the girls emotions rather than just talking interview style questions.

I felt the effect of striking emotional chords with the targets. Just by adjusting the way you interact. For example, rather than asking what they do for a living, i asked what they always dreamed of doing when they were younger which is a more appealing conversation for them. Its amazing to watch their eyes light up. Thats just one example, so when you apply that logic to other conversations you are not just another douchebag in a bar talking about the most boring thing in her life.... her job. On an additional (NLP) level you are associating yourself with her dreams and aspirations.

As each set improved, i felt more comfortable so started focusing on other things like more kino . The opening , body language and beginning stages of the sets kind of ran on auto-pilot so i focused on comfort building. 5.0 taught me a few comfort /kino routines which i started to use in the later sets and were dynamite.

I do need to relax a lot more as i was far too tense but this will come as my confidence grows. I have definatly come away from the night with improvements.

Optimistic is a great wing and has no hang-ups about opening sets. In fact, all the guys were.

Starlight , you are a fantastic writer you really should take this further. You have a talent. I'm really intriged to see your music writing. Kangaroo day.. classic!!! lol

I don't think there were any official # closes but that was not what the night was about. Its going to be a long 8 weeks...

Stay safe

Day 3 – Tuesday, Dr Yen and 5.0

I get a text from Keychain saying that Dr Yen has a free spot today and anyone available should meet at Covent Garden “dressed tip-top”. I’m thinking sweet we’re doing a fashion consultation. I’m excited to work with him, this is the instructor I saw run across busy traffic to approach a girl standing in the middle of the street. I even brought my backpack to take some notes. I get there early and out of no where, Dr Yen appears…

Dr Yen: “Right, so there really is no theory, just go up and grab the hottest girl you see and start talking…”

Uhh… wtf. That’s the pep talk.

I go first. BANG GO (grab arm) “Oh my god, you’re fucking hot! My friends told me there weren’t any hot girls in London. I guess they were wrong. Holy shit!” Her smile was priceless.

Rinse-repeat on numerous girls in a 2 block radius.

One girl literally lost her breath. Her lips were moving like she was trying to say something, but nothing would come out. lol

It was fun to grab a woman and drag her through a crowd and then use a direct opener. At one point, I was talking to a woman who had overheard everything I opened with earlier. “Oh, you caught me, but enough about me. What’s new with you?”

One number close. I haven’t seen London_Hunk operate but my sense is that along with Dr Yen they have similar high energy direct styles. “It’s just like physics, if a fast moving object collides with a stationary one both will start moving in the same direction” My assumption is that strategy is great for ONS and SNL, although phone game might have to be tighter because there doesn’t seem to be any qualification or comfort . Passion and raw attraction is the flavor of the day.

--

Meet up with 5.0 at a popular bar in Piccadilly Circus. I have a difficult time with high-energy club game and would really like to improve in this area. Mr M suggested that I work off more stock material and training wheels, intermixing with qualification questions. I understand my natural tendency is to listen rather than speak, and this works against me. I want to bring value to people through humor and interesting banter. I’m going to go through the routines manual some.
This was our first night out together the complete rockstar crew. I’m really impressed all the guys are starting with a good base – everyone can hold a large set on their own. A very common problem is escalation and that’s just about picking up IOIs and breaking through our personal comfort zones.

Day 4 - Keychain

Yesterday was night game with 5.0...so much fun :-) 5.0 was fantastic, he worked very had in his teaching time - constantly giving everyone really good feedback as well as talking about wider theory issues and example routines.

He tightened up my opener delivery (which helped loads), encouraged me to kino and move the girl to isolate her much more quickly. By the end of the night I think we're all clear that we need to ramp up the kino escalation and start heating things up in set much more quickly.

If you read my last post, you'll know I wanted to experiment with different openers. With the large number of sets we were opening , I had ample opportunity. I tried my usual opinion opener, direct openers, functional openers - I probably used four or five different openers and learned a huge amount about that phase in general.

The Rockstars were really fun to be out with - there were some comedy blowout moments and crossed wires...but there were five of us and its the first time we've been out together. In a few nights' time, we'll be working much better as a team and the winging will be much smoother. Watch out london ;-)

Great to meet some other PUAs out and about - Dr.Yen was there, Virgo from LSS was being super friendly and helpful (great game too!). There was a nice team vibe going on which I'm sure will only get stronger as the nights pass.

I'm writing this field report...but I just want to get back out there. I think a lot of this stuff will be worked out naturally in-field. After last night, I'm still buzzing and want to get back out there and hit my sticking points again, smooth out my game with the guys.

On the way to the bar, I received a text from Mr.M that really resonated with me and set the tone for the night: 'Have a blast, do your best, change your life!'

Day 4b - Keychain
A quick add-on. Already been putting some SCM principles into practice from the introductory lecture. Each Rockstar chooses a hobby or skill and uses SCM to climb the social tree associated with their chosen area of focus.

On Monday night I found myself in the middle of my focus-tree with access to high value people. I used sticky phases as Mr.M touched on - short, respect-building interactions with high value people to build a platform for the relationship to stand on. No clinging, no neediness, assuming an equal frame in the initial stages (rather than supplicating) - I will be using my nights off to further this social tree (which means I'll be out seven nights a week, but definately worth it). Very very excited about this.

The SCM material really floats my boat, it totally clicks with the way my brain works...love it.

Project Rockstar - Day 4 - Starlight

Whoa...I mean...Whoa. Day 4 and it feels like its been a bit longer no? I finally found a place to live, and it's the one I wanted all along. My mLTR French Au Pair introduced me to her former flat-mates so now I have a place in bad-ass Brick Lane with three British chics. Talk about sweet! I move in in two days. Right now at the hostel scene.

So tonight we went out with Daxx . First time I met him. Ok, so I know I said Dr Yen had the best look of any guy I have seen and, at the risk of sounding totally gay for two dude compliments two days in a row, Daxx is probably the best looking guy I have ever seen. Picture Prince Charles with teeth whitener and mod-rock hair with an accent. Um oh, thats enough talking up his looks

We started at Cheers near Picadilly Circus. It is Wednesday and pouring rain so = not too many sets at all. However, I opened a seated two set by taking a knee and jumping right in, no opener, just friendly banter. Wait, what's this, you don't speak English?! Ok, what is it then, Russian? no. German? no. Espana> Si Si!!! Ok, good cause that's all the f*cking languages I speak. So, I ran my first set of the night in Spanish and, hell, not so bad I must say. But I ejected before my language skills ejected me.

Now for the fun. Daxx , Black Swan and I rounded the corner and hit China White, for what was supposed to be Jenna Jameson's new jeans brand launch. What it Actually was was a half-empty club on a Wednesday....but only for a half hour. Then the girls came pouring in. I recollected Dr Yen. I went direct.

"Those jeans look f*cking great on you!" and I was congruous and sets opened. Daxx was great at giving pointers and opening adjacent sets then introducing Black Swan and I into them...which is great cause if there is one thing about my game that needs work it is opening . With an intro, or if girls open me, I am pretty good and can go on and on...but sometimes I get tounge-tied opening .

I say to myself: " This isn't real. You can crash and burn every set in here and it doesn't matter worth a crap"

Ok, I believe my own line. I open like half the girls in the club. Dance around, bring girls out on the dance floor, do the sandwich, I'm the meat, you two are the bread. I talked to Lithuanian students, British party girls, California transplants (crazy, she grew up like 5 miles from where I did).

Bottom line: two kiss-closes and a number close from one of the k-closes. I feel good. I only went after 9s and 10s. Daxx was loving it. Black Swan was all over the dance floor as well. The two of us are Team America...F*ck yeah! Just kidding, thats stupid But it was still great fun, and I am really feeling this.

If you asked me 2 months ago what I wanted my summer to be like. I would have said (at least to myself) that I wanted to work on my game in Europe and overcome any hang-ups I still have. I am glad and a little proud to say that that is Exactly what I'm doing.

Oh, Dr Yen called me at 11p and said he's taking me out at Noon tomorrow. I don't know what for, but I don't care. It's either direct approaching on the street or some fashion consulting...or both. Boom. It's on. Um, I'm tired. G'night and see you tomorrow

Project Rockstar: Daxx (Day 4)

After a late night yesterday I was shattered at work this morning but I was eager for another night out to learn more (keep it coming!). Daxx was the teacher for the night and we went to the Cheers bar. Daxx has a cool, friendly vibe to him that makes him real easy to chat to. The bar was quiet and he went through some theory and some great mindsets to have.

The key ones for me were:

- abundance mentality. Be the 10. Be the guy who has options. You are the selector. If you're not at the point act as if you are. ("Gotta love 'Psycho-Cybernetics ' - Maxwell Maltz. If you haven't read that book, do it now as it’s a fantastic book that helps in your life generally.)

-compete only with yourself not anyone else

-competence brings confidence

I would like to say the place got busier but it didn't. Prizefighter opened a 2set with a playful, 'Those seats are taken.' followed by a cheeky smile which got a laugh. I winged and managed to get on well but she couldn't speak much English. Hard work but fun.

Had the option to go to Chinawhites but didn’t want to kill myself from exhaustion by the end of the week! Read Starlight ’s post and sounds awesome. I’m sure there will be a lot more opportunities in the coming weeks....

Day 5 - Keychain

Hey guys! Last night we had a night game session with Daxx. I actually almost missed my train to the venue because I was having sex with a lovely girl right up until the last possible moment! I ran to the train! Got there eventually and met Daxx - really nice guy, very friendly and 'one of the lads'. When we had rounded up all the Rockstars, he launched into a theory session about key beliefs to build into your life when meeting women (and socialising in general). His preparation was obviously very thorough, really great insights.

Slight problem...no sets in the bar. No really. Later in the evening, three different sets trickled in. Starlight opened a seated two-set and lasted as long as his Spanish language skills did (impressive!), Prizefighter opened another two-set as they sat down near us, with Optimistic winging well. Daxx opened a four set of hot girls who ended up being the worst set in the history of sets (totally not Daxx 's fault!) - they really really didn't want to be opened, half of them were married with kids and they basically hated on Daxx before he could open his mouth! This guy has got super tight game though, so he stuck in there and before long had them laughing, had his arm around one girl etc... Starlight went in to wing , and they ejected soon after (can't blame them).

Time to move on. Daxx took Starlight and Blackswan to Chinawhite I hear they had a blast! I headed out with Paladin to a bar we both frequent in search of warm bodies to sarge. I've got to admit, I was disappointed by the lack of sets at our first location - it was a rainy Wednesday and it felt like all of London was empty...but I'm not a guy to sit around waiting for things, to happen, I was going to do my best to make something happen!

Paladin and I rocked up at the bar and he was immediately pounced on by a girl in his social circle . I headed on to the bar, got myself a drink and just started chatting. There were really no sets here either, but a quick walk-around revealed a two set. I opened them, locked in and started vibing with them. Moved them around as-per 5.0 's advice, started kino etc...

Incoming text: 'Dude where are you?' - from Paladin. I reply, 'By the bar, wing me'. In the nick of time, Paladin arrived and immediately occupied the obstacle. I took the opportunity to run 5.0 's stripped down version of the cube on my target...it hit.

An interrupt - massive guy and 'the birthday girl' bounce in. I'm introduced, I spin the birthday girl, spank, kiss on the cheek etc...and 'Hey, have you met my friend Paladin?'. Talk about unleash the best!

He spun her and started doing super fast kino escalation - it was actually scandalous! A few days ago, I had said to Paladin that I was looking forward to checking out his legendary super-fast kino escalation (he's got some great stories about this!) and he gave a great demo. Of course, I had to match his energy levels to stay in set so I basically copied him with my girl - they loved it! (the big guy didn't love it so much)

Paladin drags his girl off to the dance floor and I turn to the remaining set, 'Hey, I'm gonna borrow your friend for a minute, we'll be up there, we'll be back in a mo etc...' And I led my target outside - ran some comfort stuff, tried out the 'almost kiss close' (thanks Mr.M) and ramped up the sexual tension. Then, 'trying to hard not to kiss you right now...' blah blah...makeout.

HER:'OMG, I don't even know your name!'
ME: 'Haha, guess.'
HER: 'Give me a letter.'
ME: 'Okay okay...for every wrong guess, you get to kiss me.'
HERtotally loving this idea) 'Ok! Um...'

She proceeded to guess some (intentionally) wrong names, much kissing. Then I start feeding her even more bizarre names, 'Try #'...more kissing. I get two major interrupts - random dudes coming up and high-fiving me and asking me 'do you have a lighter' questions...very odd. Sent them on their way easily enough. After a while we went back inside.

Practicing isolating, so we vibed with the birthday party a bit and then isolated her again - comfort conversation spiced with some kino , kissing etc...Number closed, tried for extraction (no go logistics) so set up a Day2. Returned to birthday party.

PALADIN with girl: 'Dude take a picture!'
I turn camera on myself and pose: 'Okay, only one though, I'm tired.' (thanks 5.0!)

Then I handed the camera to the big guy in the group who took a picture but didn't take enough for Paladin to escalate to a kiss picture - dropped the ball a bit here, sorry dude! Meanwhile, a random guy offers to take pictures of me and my target with my phone...we do one crazy, one sexy and one kissing.

Anyway, this field report is getting way too long...soon after, we bounced from the venue and wandered homeward.

Summary: Great night in the end. Daxx had very insightful things to say, really looking forward to hanging out with him when there are sets around - his whole vibe lifted the group. The second venue with Paladin was lots of fun. I think the main takeaways I got from his kino demo are: come in high-energy and have an strong 'party/funny' frame. We had a lot of fun, Paladin's a great guy to wing with - actually the first guy I've ever sarged with who has game!

Overall, a good day.

So tonight we went out with Daxx . First time I met him. Ok, so I know I said Dr Yen had the best look of any guy I have seen and, at the risk of sounding totally gay for two dude compliments two days in a row, Daxx is probably the best looking guy I have ever seen. Picture Prince Charles with teeth whitener and mod-rock hair with an accent. Um oh, thats enough talking up his looks

Are you sure you meant William and not Charles?

Charles is OOOOOOOOGLY



William is a handsome chap

[black_swan]

I need to push myself to open more. I keep recalling my time with Dr Yen and I want to take this energy and be able to channel it at any moment. My short-term goal is to be ready to open at any time, place and situation. Wearing gym clothes? Open. Still groggy in the morning? Open. High-energy club? Open. Walking two-set in the day? Open. Girl on the tube? Open. Once I pay attention during the day I realize that there are a lot of sets to practice on, but I need to be ready and stop making excuses. If she’s walking the opposite direction I will force myself to run after her from now on. This was one of the important lessons I learned with Dr Yen.

--

Met up with the crew at a low-key bar in Piccaddily Circus. Daxx went through some theory/affirmation, I was impressed by his organization, he had a little powerpoint presentation on his cell phone. It’s clear that he cares about teaching something of value (the points that he personally found useful) rather than repeat something everyone has heard before. Some of the guys have to call it early, while Starlight Daxx and I head to a nearby club.

I pledge to warm-up before meeting up with the guys from now on. Simple things like opening locals, asking for time/directions seems to help me a lot. I spend all day on the computer/reading my brain needs a few interactions to change gears. It’s better for me to do this before I meet up with the guys because I allow myself to get comfortable in the crowd. Running a set in a high-energy environment without a warm-up is like jumping into cold water.

I enjoyed watching Daxx ’s style in a club environment. His dance game is very chill. He has no problem dancing by himself, like he doesn’t need a chick around him to be enjoying himself – his eyes do not dart around checking to see if girls are looking at him. He enjoying his own space and girls notice this. Additionally, he has a technique of verbal pinging girls on the dance floor which is perfect for loud environments.

“There’s no dancing/drinking/smiling in here.” (Turn, step away)

At this point, if they’re even mildly interested they’ll ping you back. Dance for a bit. Drop another line, etc. I’m going to search/memorize a couple 1-2 line attraction routines that would work like above. Another cool thing about this method is that you can ping many girls in the club and it looks like you’re friends with everyone in the club with a bit of jealousy running. Daxx would dance with a chick and if she stepped away/ gave bad body language for a second, he would turn 90 degrees and re-open a girl he had bantered with earlier. This would catch the attention of the girl who stepped away. It’s a self-enforcing upward spiral of social proof . You don’t need to dance that well or say much for this club game to work.

Chick is dancing on the couches and makes it obvious that she is taking a picture of me. I grab her by the waist and drop her on the dance floor. Pull her off the floor, lock-in against the wall. For future reference, I should not DQ myself if I’m past attraction. I should probably just start qualifying. “You’re not usually my type, I date type-X girls…” Really no need to do that. After make out she starts qualifying me:

Her: "How long are you going to be here?"
Me: 2 months

Her: "So are you passing through or..."
Me: No, I'll be in London the whole time.
(she nods her head)

Daxx suggests I say I'm only going to be in town for a few days setting a FTC to fuck. This was probably fb material. Girl goes to the bathroom with her friend. We wait a bit, but Daxx and I decide bounce. He gets a kick out of ditching girls after escalating like that.
Abundance mentality.

P.S. I don’t know if all London girls like to dance this dirty, but the next time a girl pulls my hand down to feel her camel toe/thong, I’m finger blasting her in public.

Dear diary, lol

Day 4 in field was with Daxx . I must remember to ask him where he got his name from. It sounds like a bathroom cleaner? lol Anywho..

I was the first to arrive, shortly followed by starlight. We had a chance to talk one-on-one and realised we have a lot of common interests we didn't know we had. I want to take him to some of my favourite 'music lovers' clubs in london when i can.

Daxx and the rest of the guys turn up and we gather round a table to introduce ourselves and talk over some theory. Daxx is a good-looking guy so my first thought was 'surely he has no problems picking up chicks anyway so how's he gonna teach us?' but he does have some serious game. He understands it. I noticed this with the 'bitch set' he opened.

This is how it went:-

(I wasn't within hearing distance)

The four girls came up to the bar right next to us with a cocktail menu in their hands. They had obviously just arrived. Daxx waited for them to get settled for a while, then went up to the bar next to them. His body was facing the bar. He turned his head and opened the two closest to him. They were smiling (a good sign) and talking to him. As they responded and faced him more he had some kino with the second girl talked a bit more and then opened up his body language towards them as a reward. I liked his use of body positioning/language. If he had of gone direct he would have got blown out straight away. IMO he used the correct strategy.

Further to optimistic's post, not only was my line of 'sorry, you can't sit there' executed perfectly (they got the joke AND found it funny) but i transitioned very well. I said something like 'wow, do you always trust people too much' then stacked straight on from there.

Daxx is a great guy i got on really well with him and i'm looking forward next week.

Its a shame there were no sets there to open but hey ho!! Tonight is another night for 'sets and the city.' (The bloke version) lol

Roll on tonight...
