So I'm 20. I've read some of this stuff for a while.  I've applied some of it with normal conversations, but looking back on the info I'm just going to start all over again.


If there's anything I want to get out of this, it's to solidify my confidence.  Ever since stumbling upon pick up stuff in high school, the idea has always lingered in the back of my mind.   I've just been too afraid that it was going to change me into something I'm not. 

Until now.  The concept of natural game at RSD is something that I like. 

It's crazy, I know that I can talk - I've seen flashes that I have the skills.  It's a matter of reps and not being a pussy.  Which is why now, more then ever, I am just going to uncensor myself.

GOALS:
-DO WHAT YOUR FIRST IMPULSE IS.  Do not say "no".  Do not think inside your head.
-Not be an attention seeker.  For too long I've done this, and now I've hit that point in my life where I'm going to change it.  I do what I want to do now; I take up space.
-Finish fundamentals.
-Go out and practice, two/three times a week, opening at least 5 a night.
-Go to a bootcamp when I'm 21.
-Find some way to balance this hobby with the rest of the stuff I do.
-Be more relaxed and not be uptight anymore.  Walk with confidence, be proud of who I am.

9/10/10 -
Today there was a club party that my company put on.  Some of our brothers in our frat were hosting a rush party, and I ended up attending.  To be honest, it was really the first time I can ever remember cold approaching girls.

Start the night out, get to the club hella early and just talk with some of my friends/kill time.  First approach was a tall asian chick.  Opened with "Is it weird to be tall and asian?". Looking back, yeah it worked or whatever, but I had to repeat it because I wasn't right next to her.  Could have changed it into a statement.  Then I followed up with "have you ever been grinded on by some creeper shorter than you?"  Seemed to work well, we chatted a bit, exchanged names.  But then her friend dragged her away to dance, and I had no idea what to do after that.  Looking back, probably could have bullshitted my way into getting her number.

Club was really weird in that all the girls would just dance in a cirlce by themselves and all the guys would line up on one side.  It had to be less than 100 people in a small room.  how you approach girls that are all in a circle dancing is something I'll have to improve on.

I approached my friend who knew three girls, and one of them mistook me for something, busted on her for it.  Good success.  Left them, one of them was cute, I would later come back to her and get her number.  She was at one point dancing with her and her friend, I came up and started talking about some shit I dont' remember, but after a while started dancing with her.  She led me outside with her friend, they talked, I busted on her more, kino escalation.  Eventually they went back inside, got to dance with her a bit just by herself but then she kinda pulled away.  Idea of isolation was awk I guess?  from there on I sort of left her, but came back to her one other point.  Conversation was a lot of canned material, but a lot of the busting stopped and I sort of lost emotional energy.  I felt like I got in to a place that she was comfortable, still kino escalated and all, but never really went farther than that.  Got to find something to fill space?  Maybe bust more?  Either way I'll get another stab at her tomorrow.   Maybe more energy/flirting.  She danced with some other guy, but I'm not going to read too into it - I'm beyond that.

Another approach..  Opened with something having to do with them texting - that seems to get a lot of responses. I cold read her as a judging person, as she gave me this eye look.  Seemed to work well, it was an on-going joke.  Bumped into her on countless occassions, but I never ended up getting her number.  Don't know why, it was probably nevrousness for some reason...gotta pile through that.  UGH.  I feel like I did bump into her too much (sure it was small) and I sorta made it awkward thinking I might try to talk to her.  Gotta change that on.

another approach were two sober girls, one's first time clubbing.  Opened with something either texting or how they were awkwarding dancing just by themselves.  Kept talking to them, I was surprised they would actually keep listening.  Eventually they sat down, sorta followed them and talked about why do girls wear heals that are so damn huge.  Gotta work that one again.  Again, I feel like I got through opening stages with some success.  Got to the busting/storytelling stuff on some girls.  Overall pretty good night for learning.

Biggest realization: I think if there's anything I learned, it's that you can just keep talking right in their personal space. 
Bottom line: Looks like I'll either call or text the girl I met tomorrow.   We're apparantly going to the same party tomorrow night.
Work On: Approaching more girls, get more encounters under belt.  I need experience.




Four approaches.  Could have been more, but I sort of psyched myself out I guess.  I am surprised I did that much though (four legitimate approaches).  Seriously though, I was pretty damn proud of myself.  I can't remember the last time I went out and got to meet some new people..what the fuck is my education doing to me?  School

EDIT: LOOOOOL asian girl I got number from [who will now be called A7chick] just texted me back hoping I got back home safe.  Texted back "yeah I'm back safe...lightweight".  Probably could have done better but I'm too damn tired. 

Goal for tomorrow: Approach 5

9/10/10

Today sucked ass.  I did not take up any space at all and felt like a lot of what I did yesterday was totally lost.  Went to a house party and did not take up as much space as I wanted to.  

Looking back, I felt like my frame was off.   Going to fix that.   I came across as insultive instead of playful.  

-Probably the most distinctive thing I remeber was keeping a conversation going with "you both look like the type that are just joined at the hip.  Gross."   Then I slipped into interview style, fuck.  
-A7girl was there, but she kept holding onto this one girl.  Inseperable (to the point where it was kinda weird)  so nothing really happened.  This is a good wake up call to how I need to small chunk this information, not get too far ahead of myself.  Process not outcome, and have fun.  Didn't really feel like I had too much fun till the end.

Bottom line: I need to man up and not give a shit.  Can do this through frames "world is my pick up playground" and "not give a shit - you won't see anyone ever again". 
Next party: Next Thursday, approach 10.  Till then, i'm going to finish Foundations.  

I really need to do those 10 approaches too.  This will show to myself I'm serious about this shit.



IN OTHER NEWS: TAILGATING TODAY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hah thanks man.

9/11/10:

September 11th is always an awkward date to look at.  Anyway, I didn't think I was going to write a field report tonight but there were some things I feel like I should comment on.


^Tailgating car I wish I had.  

Anyway, game time always pumps me the fuck up.  I figure today, even though it would be spent with friends, I decided to do a little experiment and take up as MUCH SPACE AS POSSIBLE.  Wanted to build my state up a lot, and doing it at the game is pretty easy.  

It was cool being drunk, but also being drunk and UNCENSORED.  I enjoyed myself at the game and all the festivities before then.  Although we absolutely got SMASHED at football (fuck.), I did end up getting two white chicks numbers.  It was really funny, since the first time I skimmed pick up stuff I really engrained the idea of kino into me.  The girl sitting in front of me (soccerchick) and her friend I think enjoyed how I took up just space beyond reason.  I distinctevly remember...

SoccerChick: blah blah blah
ME (to her friend): Is she ALWAYS like this?

Seems like a stock line that I've started to use.  In a text convo after the game, i teased her about staying to watch the beatdown b/c she was a fan of the other team.  



To be completely honest, the biggest things that I do NOT know how to do is phone game and Day 2s.  I guess I can start experimenting with Soccerchick and A7chick.  Going to try and finish a bit of fundamentals tomorow and see if I can get pointed in the right direction.

Phone game is just a matter of congruence.

If you met the girl on the street and you were really cool and chill, don't call her up all like, "OMGZZZ, WHATS YOUR NAME???? YOU SO CUTEEE" just be like, "Hey, this is Alex.....I thought you were cute....blah blah, whatever."

You're still projecting to her that you're that cool guy that she met earlier. 

Day 2's = simple meetups. I highly suggest reading this article by Nathan! because it explains how to have a "no-flake" date. It's deadly efficient and effective. www.rsdnation.com/node/76706

This post is to just keep me accountable and call both numbers that I have from this weekend by tonight.



^Trying to reel in the CATCH

EDIT: 

Sokkerchik didn't pick up.  She was "driving somewhere" but it led to a text conversation where I busted on her for being "miss popular."  I texted her yesterday that I would call her at 3:32 PM (which I didn't, I had work) and then texted her that details didn't really matter when she tryed to find out why.

A7chick picked up, and honestly I showed rust.  I intro'd myself again at the beginning, and then she said "oh did you think I wasn't going to remember you?" and then I proceeded to say something that wasn't absolutely funny.  What I should have done was busted on her for how she was so drunk, I need to be thinking BUST FIRST.  Instead, I did this ridic interview style conversation (totally 90/10).  It felt rushed, but hey at least I told her I was going ot the gym at the beginning.  The topic was somewhat different "do you think carrying a jumprope is girly?" and then i proceeded to tell her how I do crossfit stuff to work out.  My tone was off - looking back I didn't sound all that confident.  Then the topic switched to if she went to the gym or not, where then I said something about if she had biceps of steel.  This ended the conversation with me going to the gym.  2 minute+ conversation...I wish it was longer but I ended it.

At the gym, I talked to some girl.  That's something I'd never do - strike conversation at the gym.  Pretty much just opened her and then walked off to do my routine.  Should have kept it going until it died, but the fact I even did it was cool.  I like the "uncensored" attitude I have now.

WHAT I LEARNED: Always be looking for stuff to bust her on, that's where I usually am successful.  Try to keep in my frame (at least I didn't chode out and not call) and try to reword initial conversation thread as a statement "I think jumpropes are pretty manly." or something to the effect like that.

I will try tomorrow with sokkerchik .  Going to call a7chick wednesday probably.

By the way, thanks for the link ceoarob.  I like the idea of just inviting them out to places i'd go anyway...takes all the pressure of coming up witha  place and that whole awkward thing.

EDIT:

?SEE YOU ALL AT THE RSD FREE TOUR IN LA ON THE 16th?

-Tyler Rallies the Troops-

So I went to the free tour yesterday.  I was the guy in the black UCLA hat.

Bad news? $50 Dollar parking ticket for parking in a two hour zone. [it's better than a $183 jaywalking ticket !]


(I never knew that you actually could get ticketed in the two hour zone)

Good News?  It fucking owned.  I was so glad I ended up going. Tyler talked a lot about the fundamentals, which is something that I applied instantly to my night.  If there was any one moment though that got me, it was the video clip of Tyler taking some hot chick from a billionaire club owner in Vegas.  That shit really got me thinking - if he can do that, then why can't I just go up and own sets at clubs?

Our fraternity had a party at some restaurant in Long Beach, so off I went.  First thing I walk in, I see some friends and chat them up.  My state is already pretty good after today's talk though.  I first try opening some girl with a huge ass white watch on, trying to tease her for how she gets anything done with the face so big.  Blow out set, I keep plowing on.

Next, I see a girl that I haven't seen for 3 years.  She's ridiculously excited to see me (and super drunk) so I try to escalate that.  It's pretty easy to make fun of her, but she's surprised I'm trying to make moves on her.  At a certain point, I realize that there is no way anything is going to happen and decide to leave

As I was dancing with her, though, she taps her friend's ass.  to which, said friend flips arond and gives me the most OUTRAGEOUS looking facial expression.  After my friend owned up to it, she comes clean and says that she literally was going to bitch slap me had she not done so.  I go onto this side tangent about how everything she's wearing is some weapon trying to kill people with.  Cold read, she rejects people, look for response from friends.  The set wasn't going so amazing, so I decided to move on out of my old hs friend's social circle.

AND THEN THE NIGHT GOT A FUCK LOAD MORE FUN.

I sat down at a table with two girls looking bored out of their minds.  Teased them about how they party in the corner, the HB8 that I want is literally looking like she's going to knock out. I make fun of her for it, imitating her and complaining.  We then, somehow, create this joke about how they've had a relationship with "stella" (the beer she was drinking) for 500 years or something.  she's lesbian lovers or whatever, then she cheats on stella with her friend sitting right next to her.  I did the hand shake thing that was taught in Fundamentals, it was whatever, but hey got the kino going.  She then hears her favorite song (whoa!  she's ready to PARTY NOW?) and I go with them to the dance floor. 

After doing some ridic danc emoves and grinding with her, I lead her outside.  Kino escalation, I send a text to myself with her phone.  She asks what number it is, I tell her it's my grandmothers.  I end up going to kiss a couple times, first time was just a kiss, but second time she full on makes out with me.  Sweet, literally the hottest girl i've ever made out with.  After this some guy walks across and says hi to her, but then asks who I am.  I introduce myself, the guy walks off all angry and shit.

We got back to dance more, I try to finger her but she's not down with that.  So we're dancing more, but I feel that we're starting to lose energy.  Maybe I should have tried to make out? This leads to her leaving, and with no reason why, going to talk to some other guy (is it the same guy?  ionno.).  I try to poke her to bring back our convo, but she's not paying attention.  They both go out holding hands to dance.  Maybe the boyfriend or something?  I don't know, but I'm just glad to see SUCCESS!

So I'm on a high, I open a three set of girls.  I open with the same "why are you guys partying in the corner".  One of my bros has been COCKBLOCKINGGG me all night, so I invite him into the set with me.  They explain, then I flirt some more.  I see the girl I want and then accuse her of being a good girl with a bad girl look in her eyes.  Ask her friends for advice, they're receptive.  She says something and then I counter "see, that's why we couldn't end up dating - we would just argue all the time".  Everyone goes "WHAAAAT" and then we keep going.  Girl I wanted leaves to do something [think i freaked her out, OH WELL.] and then go work on girl next to me.  My "wing" for the set has her uglier friend occupied, NICE.   I am not low standard any more.

Turns out the girl i'm talking to has a picture of her and her boyfriend on her phone (LOOL.).  So I just push more, when all of her friends leave she stays to talk to me.  That's sort of cool.  At the end, I get her number.

I text both girls, the second girl responded with an actual text today. 

So bottom line:

Tyler is awesome.
I felt so confident it was ridic.
I should have tried to pull the girl after making out. 
More eye contact.
LEADING FUCKING ROCKS.
I am excited for school to start.

Saturday, my promoting company is having a lingurie party.  i was sorta not feeling it, but after last night I want to improve my game so hard.  Such progress.

So today was our huge concert/dance thing at school to start off the year.

(ying yang twins...are still around?  WTF?)

The concert was pretty stupid, all the headliners weren't really that good (again...ying yang twins?  wtf?  they had grey hair, i could have sworn...)

Me and my frat lil bro chatted up with some girls behind us, they weren't that cute though so we didn't # close or anything.  I did the west coast handshake thing with them after we were arguing about what is better (norcal/socal).  I like using that, I think I'll do it more. 

PRE DANCE: I read up on dancefloor game and got to look at the whole spin move thing.  Turns out I never did the spin move, BUT.

[FUCK I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET UP WITH MOTHERLOVER BUT MY PHONE RAN OUT OF BATTERY.  FUCK.]

Anyway, I saw the hottest asian chick I have ever seen.  And I danced with her, and she was fucking crazy....I sang lyrics to the songs or w/e but then tried to escalate sexual tension. by touching her all over her body. Slowly, I worked down from her stomach to her croch where I started groping, she was digging it for a while but then she pulled my hand away.  From there it really didn't get that good, she eventually moved on.  WTF NOOOoooooooooooo.  When is the right time to ask for a number during dancefloor game?  I felt my confidence weigning, I need to keep it through all the way.  BUT DUDE SO HOT, FIRST 10 EVER DANCED WITH YEEEE.  I remember a month ago there would be no way I would even approach a girl like that.

HB8 was next girl I danced with.  I started by saying "let's see what you got" and then proceeded to go back-to-back with her.  Eventually I flipped around and we started grinding.  Another good dancer.  I remember telling her "you're a good dancer" (because I saw that on some thread) and she told me I was too (whatever that means, empty compliment?).  Eventually the music stopped for some reason, part of a partybreak for a song, and then we chatted a bit.  I know for a fact this is where I lost her, I totally fell back into beta game.  She was asking me questions too, WTF NOOO.  MUST BE UNIQUE.  I should have joked around and said "man you ask some boring questions to get to know people" instead of just answering her questions about what year I was.  I need a game plan around that - I got asked what year I was WAY TOO DAMN MUCH TONIGHT.  So she then dismissed me...fuck.

So now I'm separated from my friends, biding my time seeing who I want to approach next when i see a girl (gamegirl-7) alone.  I approach her with "are you lost?" blah blah "because I'm lost, let's be lost together!"  She was sort of hard to build rapport with, even to get a hook on.  Eventually I started making fun of her for being boring or whatever.  I suddenly see my kino starting to slip - she's sober, doesn't like the whole dry humping thing.  Whatever, I start to break the whole "touch" barrier.  Random hugs etc.  If there was anything I learned, it's just PLOWING THE FUCK AWAY until something stuck - which eventually it did after a long time.  I made some direct attempts to establish eye contact.  What was really cool though is she started complimenting me though.  WTF, THIS IS SCARY. "I"m really surprised you didn't try to pull me to the dance floor and try to dry hump me."  I thought about it, but honestly if I did I know I'd instantly lose her.  Non-party girl.  Awesomely enough, I got through qualification in the Fundamentals today, so I just decided to take it, but over-exaggerate her praise.  Sorta like the vibe she gives off, but not going to get all one-itis on this girl.  I remember number closing her like "this has been one of the more fun conversations I've had, I want to see you again let's talk give you me your number".  Or something to that effect.   Around a 20-30 minute convo, it was long.

After this I decide to leave.  We have to wake up fucking early for our fraternity tomorrow.  Since I"m on e-board I have to set an example (fuu)

One number close that looks like she isn't a flaker/qualified correctly?.  Sweet.

Moral of story though: FUCKING ACT CONFIDENT AND FUN AROUND 10s, DO NOT LET THEIR AWESOME GRINDING SKILL GET TO MY HEAD.  FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.


In other news, if you can't tell, I have terrible yellow fever.
