Dj Bootcamp: Week One

[Waking Up]

EC thing hasn't been going too smoothly. It just seems like no one wants to lock eye contact. I think I got like, one girl in her later 20's to smile and make eye contact with me. This is difficult. I haven't bothered with the hi exercise yet cuz I'm still working on EC but no one likes to make EC it seems, and when we do make EC, I hardly have enough time to smile.

edit: Plus, it seems like smiling is awkward and forced. Anyone else bust through this?

edit2: The good news is that I ran into some chick that I hung out with a couple of times in group settings a longass time ago. We hardly talked or anything but we instantly locked eyes, I kept EC with her as we talked. And she said she was in my area now and said she didn't have my #, I asked for hers and she gave it to me. I called her today and she said she'd call me back later.

[Thyme]

uughghh crap i have been on vacation for the past two weeks and really wanted to get in on a bootcamp starting beginning of summer. is there ANY way at all i can get in on this one?!?!! i know i know i know if i were in your shoes i would probably say no too but i just want to throw it out to you guys!

def wont let you down should you say yes.

 

[Thyme]

btw i just read your post in the registration and will go about the action path and do week one with you guys. then will you let me know if im in or not?!

 

[rushing dude 123]

Guys u r going have to push this more u still got another 4 days, but if u leave these hi's for the last day, trust me it will beat u, i know it and u know it. Try to do both eye contact and hi's together.

Hbk: well i am not suprised hbk, nearly done huh lol and yeh that x man movie was awesome idc what anyone else says.

Waking up: eye contact, try smiling before the eye contact a little grin on ur face like u just have had a wonderful day and just think of all the funny **** u done eg. said hi to someone and they just completly blanked u, that stuff gets me laughing lol. Then just make eye contact and lighten up that grin bit more has u make eye contact and say "hello, howdy, hi" whatever u like, act like u know this person and ur just giving them a warm hello on the street. More than often they would think they do know u and say hi back lol.

Thyme: complete this task by friday and ur in, good to have u on thyme and would like to add u to the roster if u can make it to week 2, nice to c that ur taking the action path 2.

I am still at 19 hello's and 0 hours of eye contact, but i will probablly do the majority or the rest tommorow.

 

[rushing dude 123]

Week 1 completed

50 hi's and 2 hours of eye contacted completed, I am going practise on some warm approaches for now and just build bit of my observation and rapport skills, then i will turn them cold for week 2. I will leave my field report in my bootcamp journal.

Come on guys where are your field reports, i want to see progress, even some struggling if need be. So i know where u guys r at. U got 3 days left guys.

 

[Thyme]

yo saturos - im a senior in highschool too... sounds like we're pretty similar when it comes to classes too (im in calc, spanish, other adv courses etc) so it will be interesting to compare in the BC...

i dont know about you man, but i am freaking PUMPED to get out of highschool. college is going to kick a*s

...ok anyways. i was at chipotle and the chic behind the counter was obviously a spanish speaker, cute little face/body 7.5, and probably about mid twenties. but i dont really care i will flirt with almost any1(10's i kinda choke). so when she asked me what i wanted, i said with a huge mexican accent "no hablo ingles" (i am fluent in mex spanish). she got a kick out of it and started whipping off some spanish too me thinking that i was just messing with her. but when i smacked it right back at her she was impressed and had a huge smile on her face. i ended up doing the entire ordering thing in spnish but just left it at that. i didnt number close or anything she was too old/i didnt want to make it awkward

and yeah i know that isnt even what was scheduled for this week but it was kinda spontaneous and fun. i plan on getting the bulk if not everything done on wednesday - were taking a class trip to valley fair and there are schools from all over the area going there at the same time.

ill check back in after

Done week one too. Went to wonderland today with a couple guy friends and as many cute girls as we could bring at the last minute (this is why having female friends comes in handy) which ended up being fifteen. We just talked and said hi to everyone. With all the long lines, social proof, and people having fun it was no problem at all. Some of the girls even joined in. After party was awesome too.

Let's see how week two goes

 

[Credos]

Yah, done... Not much to report but this:

Yesterday I had my glasses on, my eyes look really small cause the glasses are so strong (I wear contacts normally, I can't see without). The reactions then were much different then I normally had, normally it's alwayse positive replies, this time it was just: "AVOID THE NERD"-mode. Very entertaining though , I went shouting: "Hey! I said hello, fvcking hillbilly!" to which I had a response of "*blush*, Ow sorry, I'm in a hurry! *continues walking like a snail*".

Hah some people are such a disappointement. I was quite lucky I had to go to my college town, which was rather desserted cause exams starting in a week...

Ps: Had an HB behind me at some point, was wearing glasses at the time. I was looking for a good opener when I noticed her, but I choked... :/ didn't find that opener fast enough... Only said hello and that the way up was closed, didn't have good material to continue

Im back from the banned world! Well i went to the mall and the grocery store and i gave 50 people eye contact, took me about 2 and half hours.. Most of the guys would look at me and nod their heads, but some of the women wouldn't look at me at all, but the majority would say hi, and i did receive smiles from 38 of them. I must be doing something good, but now i am going to give eye contact to pretty girls and i believe most people don't give you eye contact because they don't know if your a threat or not.

 

[Al Moh.]

Reporting in:

I am at 1 hour EC and about 15 Hi's now. Strange thing is, I don't get as many good responses this time as the last times I did this BC. But maybe I just met the wrong people, we'll see tomorrow.

 

[rushing dude 123]

Well done credos, HBK and daydream on getting through week 1. So that is 4 so far, the rest of u seriously need to step that game up 2 more days left, try to finish it tommorow, because if u can't and things come up u always got the next day to do it. This is treading in dangerous water, but it can still b done. PUSH IT HARD, because if u can get through this week u will get exactlly what u want out of the bootcamp and go on to the next week where it starts getting interesting.

Al this is not going to b like last times, i want to see u get all the way through this and so do u or u wudn't of accepted in joining. Don't worry about responses for now and do not let it get to u, just have fun.

 

[Thyme]

well i got about 35 minutes of eye contact in so i could have padding for tomorrow. went to the big walmart near us and walked around (was kinda awkward when i saw the same people over and over again)... but overall i got decent reactions. if someone held eye contact with me thats when i would say hi... so i kinda mixed it up a bit.

for the most part i got better reactions when the girls were by themselves. whenever they were walking in groups it was much harder for me to hold eye contact. in total i got 14 hi's and of those i would say 4-5 had good vibes about them.


plan on finishing 'em all off tomorow and then some

 

[Daydream Engineer]

I have decided to do a variation of exercise 1. I am going to give eye contact to pretty girls at college and i am going to wave after they look away and then look back to me again. I feel like i cheated in exercise one i gave eye contact to 35ish of the people when i was working at the grocery store, and i think as an employee there it gave me an artificial boost in visibility and noticeably, and i don't want to pretend or play games... i want to improve.

Today in college i gave 9 girls heavy eye contact, and 5 looked away, then they look back at me. When they realized they have been caught,( or caught me looking), they giggle and have an "oh my god" look in their face, and i am starting to see EC as a fun game of cat and mouse.


When you give them eye contact and they look down after, go for it!

 

[Waking Up]

My two hours of EC is done. I'm at 10 hi's. I gotta step it up the next two days majorly.

Hmm what else? Today I walked around and said hi to 10 people. Man, it's awkward. I thought this hi exercise was going to be easy. It's not. It's like my ego thinks people are going to shoot me for saying hi for no reason. No attractive girls yet really, I mostly just said hi to some middle aged people. They said hi back. Some of my hi's were forced without previous EC or smile, but whatever. Haha this is hard, but I'm getting an adrenaline rush out of it so it's fun. It's like a game. I'm going to step it up tomorrow though and force myself. My approach anxiety is very high.

:yes: EC is a powerfull tool my friend

When you give them eye contact and they look down after, go for it!

Or they just nearly vomited , if you go you might get burried under barf!!! Are you certain you should go?






Anyhow, you clearly start to see what the EC thingy is about, it's the first IOI you can get from a woman. If she isen't intrested you can see that by the way she looks at you. This is a way to minimize the rejections :rockon:

 

[Al Moh.]

I'm done

Went out today and just walked around, street, mall, etc. I really needed this, after a few Hello's I got this DJ-feeling back, haven't had this for quiet a while now, you know this mix of confidence, excellent mood and "just-want-to-have-fun" attitude.

People's reactions ranged from quickly looking down and pretending they didn't hear me to sending back a huge smile and a happy hello.

The last few times I did this I always sticked to the easy stuff (just one person, nobody around) this time I tried to make it more challenging and also greeted groups and different people who passed at the same time.

Feeling good now and ready for next week.

Last Day Guysssssssssssss

New week will be starting friday. If some of u guys are very behind get a nice good sleep and wake up early in the morning and do this, it can be done. If u want to make those goals that u said in the registration this is where u make ur stand, i hopefully don't want to see no one go out this week because this is just the start. If u can get through week one, u will b that one step closer to reaching ur goals, if u don't u will b the same man u was before. Life is not about being the same guy, its about improving and becoming better. This is growth and is what seperates the DJs from the afc's.

So guys get out there and push it, because we both know doing this is very very possible, if it wasn't u wudn't b reading this right now. Don't do this for me or the guys here or any woman or any other person. DO THIS FOR URSELF.

peace out

 

[Thyme]

ugh wow im jealous of you al moh... i finished everything but im not going to lie, i hated it. i was with my entire school and schools around the area at valley fair so i was always worried someone i knew would watch me saying hi to random girls. on top of that, i felt awkward just saying hi and nothing more... i dont really have much of a problem starting a convo, but just saying hi and leaving it at that seemed really abrupt/weird for me.

but i can say i learned a few things... i always got the best reactions when i was louder and more 'out there'. whenever i was passive and just barely peeped out 'hi' (which was like my first 5 hi's today) i got terrible responses - one group even started laughing!! ouch.
