THE FORUMS

It’s amazing to see Tim’s relaxed style of opening, he just walks over and starts chatting.
I feel that I have not described well that style. You know, if you look at it from outside, it just looks absolutely effortless. You won't see Tim spitting game at the girls, it's just regular talk, usually he'll even get her to do most of the talking, yet you see the girls completely under his spell.
Just wanted to add on to that...

Hey there Shameless, great post! I've never heard of someone taking up to 3 bootcamps. How would you describe yourself now, compared to before you took your 1st bootcamp? I would be fascinated to hear your "before and after".
Hi Vulkare.
You know, that's difficult to do, because as you advance it becomes part of your reality, you don't really notice the change.
My before would be someone really shy. I did have good interpersonal skills, would have a lot of alpha friends and over time I would make friend with almost everybody.
But the key is there... "over time". I would never do any cold approaches. I can remember that about two years ago, if I would meet a friend in a bar and he wasn't yet there, I would wait outside because I couldn't stand the social pressure of being all alone in the bar - now I go out sarging solo! Being at a party would make me really uncomfortable if there were a lot of people I didn't know yet.
Plus I've always been a 'typical German' in a sense that I would be very logic, much in my head, very stifled, not touching ANYBODY, very correct and distant. I'm still working on that, there are some parts of you ingrained over years and years, but there's no comparison. Kino will always be a sticking point, but I've become much more of a touchy person, also with my friends and family. And I've laid more girls in the last year than in the 32 years before (and no, I was not a virgin :D ).
Most importantly, my social skills have improved generally. I've been travelling through Latin America for three months, and there has not been one place in which I couldn't find new friends and people to hang out with. That's really big - you get to know the local culture, and you know you can move anytime anywhere and you'll fast build a new social circle. I remember when I moved to Madrid it took me three years before I had a broad social circle!
Hope that helps.

good call. 
the other honolulu camp is probably an "ozzie meets tyler" one. whoever attends there, you better write a report, should be interesting.
