Gladiators!::Approach Anxiety Competition!

[PrettyBoyAJ]

So in order for us to eliminated completely we have to get 3 Eliminations?

 

[AAAgent]

Rules are Double Elimination.

So each gladiator has to be eliminated twice in order to be out of contest. If you complete the bonus, you will have earned yourself an extra elimination round +1 to what you currently stand at.

I currently have 6 weeks planned and we are beginning week 2.

---

on a side note. I've learned this week to just relax. I think i had trouble with conversing because i was trying too hard. Second would be, don't go too far out of your way just to talk to a girl. I ended up walking a girl an extra 10 blocks and 2 avenues and couldn't even built rapport because i ran out of stuff to say. If i would have left when i was supposed to, i could have gotten the number (asked her to text me once she got there), and it wouldn't have come down to awkward conversations/silence.

you guys should post your area's of improvement and what you've learned as well.

I know this is kinda late, but I had a good night Friday. Made about 10+ approaches, not including the approaches during the day, this week. I consider this pretty good since it was one of the first times I did cold approaches in my entire life.

Out of all the approaches, I didn't get a # close rejection. Had I known I would've went for it, but this was the first time I saw this thread. I did, however, get a number from a 2-set. I hadn't call them up though because 1) they were only in the US until today and 2) I had plans last night.

Approaches became so easy after the first 2, that I just kept going in without thinking. Built a lot of social proof this way and got free drinks from the bartender. Got to know the bouncer pretty well too. This is the first time this all has ever happened.

So let me sum up the # close. My boys and I were hanging out at St Marks. I spotted an HB5 and HB7. Turns out they were from Canada, had huge spanish accents. I asked them if they wanted to smoke hookah with us, and they joined. One of my boys was mad flirty with them, but moved too soon. I played it smooth and built rapport, then starting doin Kino. I also got them pretty jealous by talking to the cute middle eastern waitress. I also approached a 4-set cuz one of the HB7.5's was giving me EC. I'll expand on this, but I gotta post before 11:59!!

Hope this gets me in the competition.

12 people will be facing complete elimination this week. This week's task is easier as well as helping people on building rapport to obtain a higher degree of success in number closing, etc.

We who are about to die, salute you (literally, we're facing elimination)!

Good Luck!

Just like last week, I got off to an early start.
I looked at the clock in the hallway and it said 12:48, then I saw an HB 7 Latina and I did my first direct opener ever!
Me: Hey, I thought you looked cute and that you might be interesting to talk to.
HB 7:*surprised look* Thanks.
Me:What class are you waiting on?
HB 7: History.
Me: Me too, is that your major?
HB 7:No, Psychology is my major. But it's a tough class.
Me:Then why are you taking such tough classes for?
HB 7:Because I have to.
Me:My major is Spanish, are you Hispanic?
HB 7: Yes, I was born in Honduras.
Me: You don't speak with a Spanish accent though, you talk like the people here, except not as country.
HB 7: Laughs, I do?
Me: Yes, but you're all self-conscious about it *Laughs at her*. Do you speak Spanish then?
HB 7: Yes
Me: I've never been to Central or South America before, but it must be nice. I went to Spain for a month last summer.
HB 7: I'd love to go to Spain!
Me: Good luck saving up the money for it.
HB 7: Laughs. I have to go to class now.
Me: My name is X
HB 7:My name is Y, and I see you around a lot.
Me: You see me often then.
Clock said 12:51 after that, so I guess I completed the challenge for this week. Though, there is one girl left I want to approach(She's mixed black and white and is some kind of athlete). I got a number from a Taiwanese girl today that I had cold approached 2 weeks ago also.
I know I need to work on asking more open-ended questions and less general topics.

 

[Masculinity]

Off to a good start for the new challenge!

There is this cute Asian girl in my music class. She plays the violin and has the same major that I have in addition to loving music. I've never approached an Asian before, but she's a new kind of girl!

As I'm about to take the bus:
me: Heyy!
hb: Hey!
me: You're in my class right?
hb: yeah, with professor abcd
me: kk, good. Gotta make sure you're not following me
hb: ahaha..
me: (discussing class stuff)
hb: yeah, I like this and that(class stuff) what about you?
me: I'm a psychology major and I love music
hb: Whaaat?! Me too! How did you get into it?
me: (tells story) in short, I got into it from my mom having breast cancer and going through a depression in high school and now I want to help people in those situations. I want to do it because I've been there.
hb: smiles and says something (can't remember)
me: ( convo continues)
3 minutes later we get to the other campus
me: hey, I'm gonna go get something to eat, but do you have e-mail?
hb: yeah (I handed her pen & paper) she wrote her info
me: Write down your number too
hb: ok! (writes down home phone #)
me: home #? whaaat/ Give me your cell.
hb: haha, true, but I don't know my own # =[
me: (made fun of her playfully and watched as he took out her cell and then I took it from her hands) Give me that! (and then I dialed my #, but for some reason it didn't go through so I asked her later and she gave it to me again. A solid green light right there. Also, she seems nervous around me, but when she starts talking, she is funny and receptive. I guess it's the Asian culture.

I actually timed myself while pretending to text right before the convo started. I lasted 4 mins 37 seconds. Wooohooo! (The b!tches in the arena go crazy for one of the competing gladiators, Robyn923b!!!)

My task is complete, but I'm going to continue approaching and posting the results. I'm off to bed. G'night fellas.

 

[Gray The Prince]

Technically...

I basically completed this week's challenge with an ADVANCED tactic and an early approach, but I'm gonna do something tomorrow because I'm not satisfied with my results, I could have done a LOT better. So...I went to the bar/club across the street form my dorm cause it was college night. I've been having a bad week, but shit, something's gotta give. Anyways, I see this older looking chick at the club (she turned out to be 25 but I honestly think she's like thirty or something) Anyways, I decided to go ahead.

Me: Hey, have I met you before?
HBOlderchick: Um, I think so. I saw you here last week! *hugs me and puts her arms around my neck*
Me: Well you shoulda said hey or something and I woulda swung by.
HBOlderchick: *Laughs*
Me: *starts touching her hips* Come dance,

(We start dancing for a while. Then I come and I sit down on a stool and she starts shaking her ass and I start slapping it as she gets wilder with it. We start grind from the front and when she shakes her ass on my crotch, I stop moving with her as she moves her ass around my crotch and on my balls. She knew what she was doing. She stuck her ass out and I was all on it.)

Anyways, I thought I kinoed it up enough, so with my Inner DJ in control, I decide to try and Fuck-close.

Me: You got some decent moves, youre gonna show me a good time.
HBOlderchick: Not tonight!

I didn't want to waste my time with a cock-tease. So I left her.

I then met up with one of my buddies, who is also going out for the football team at our university as well. I then meet a friend of his and all 3 of us decide to try and conquer a few sets. We see about 7 girls and we attempt an advanced tactic.

As we approach, I remember what I learned on SoSuave and what I learned through my experiences, I don't recall the entire convo, but I remember splitting my attention to random members of the group in order to obtain a comfort level, however we screwed up. We get the girls on the dance floor, then a fatal mistake was made. My inner DJ and Inner AFC were having a power struggle and I couldn't think straight.

Inner DJ: Start grinding on these chicks and isolate the really cute one.

Inner AFC: There's no way you're gonna pull this off. They're just gonna dance with each other.

Inner DJ: Not if you do something about it, become a leader and the other 2 will follow.

Inner AFC: This is all pointless, nothing you do will work!

While all this was going on, we were like statues. Our influenced disintegrated and the losers that were once standing around, were now preying on the 7 girls, who were swatting them away like flies.

My Inner AFC overcame my Inner DJ and took over and I got blew off by every girl at the club. So I left early, came back to my dorm and started typing this.


My Advice to everybody: He who cares least, gets most. I can testify to tthis cause my one buddy, he didn't give a fuck and this chick with a short dress came up to him and started grinding on him AND she had NO PANTIES ON!! And other women started approaching him cause he did not give a damn!

My Inner DJ WILL defeat my Inner AFC. And I WILL NOT give a fuck AND I WILL win this competition because I'm a champion and champions don't give a flying fuck!! :rockon:

Youre a BOSS

Saturday, I am gonna go to a nightclub, get blind drunk, and complete this tast about 10 times over. Im gonna see if I can take some pictures. I think these types of thread would be a lot better with pictures, but its completely understandable that you wouldnt be able to just whip out your camera and take a shot.

The club seems a little bit too easy tho. So, tomorrow I am gonna try to build some rapport with the prostitutes that hang out by the station outside of my mma gym. Luckily, my gym is located in the red light district of the city. I eye contact these girls all the time, but never talked to them. I wonder how this is gonna go.

Lol thnx. I think she was a ****tease though. Spring Break is about to start, So i'm going back to my hometown plus I may go to South Padre with some friends.

 

[powpow]

Guys, my brothers in arms, I have failed.

I got out of mma practice around 11 tonight. Just as I thought, that fine prostitute is out walking around trying to get herself that money. I always make eye contact and smile at her. It is always requited.

So tonight, I talk to her. I just say. I say konbaaannnwaaaa. And give her a flirty look. Usually works. She tries to talk to me, but her Japanese is really sh!tty. Im like the fvck? She was Chinese and didnt speak Japanese for balls. Her pimp came up and was like getting my face. Said if I didnt wanna pay, I couldnt be hitting on her. Told him Im a BOSS and I dont pay for sex. Smiled and waved to her, she smiled back. There was a connection I think. But, alas, it is not meant to be.

Kind of despondent, I walk into the grocery to get some ballin groceries for the next day or so. I saw these two fine cupcake faces looking for some booze. BAM!!!! Feeling good again. Open up the set. They were both fine as hell, like 9.5 9.5.

me - are you girls old enough to buying alcohol?
girls - hahahaha yes. Im 22.
me - Oh really? So you better use keigo with me (keigo is like an honorary language used here to people older than you or of higher status)
girls - correct themselves and use keigo, sort of like, I am 22, sir.
me - I laugh. are you serious? I was just joking. What are you girls doing tonight?

BOYFRIENDS ENTER!!!!!!
They basically say DO NOT TALK TO OUR GIRLFRIENDS!!!!!!!
I just say, oh sorry bro, I didnt see you cool guys over there.
They say well now you see us huh? Why you talking to our girlfriends?
I say because theyre hott and looked available?
The **** you say?
I mean shoot, take it as a compliment. If I looked at them and threw up, then I will let you get mad.
Girls laughed. Theyre boyfriends are SO MAD. Im just chillin. With my jacket that says PRO MMA JAPAN.
The grab the girls arms and tell them HEY LETS GO. I mock them and say HEY LETS GO in a dorky voice, wave to the girls, they smile back, but certainly NO WAVES. FCK!

Found an awesome deal on eggs and apples though. Apple was so tasty. Ate one while waiting on my train.



I failed. Two attempts. Fail.

 

[powpow]

I just wanna say that I DID make out with a beautiful, 4 foot 9 dimepiece in a karaoke booth last night, though. She dug my Enrique Iglesias. She was like, oh, you can speak spanish too? I was like yeah btch, I speak spanish. She didnt see the countless hours practicing that song.

But I met her a couple of weeks back, and so it does not count.

 

[PrettyBoyAJ]

4 foot 9 dimepiece...that's oxymoronic lol.

Good attempts though PowPow, You stood your ground. If I was the other guys though I don't give a damn... that's a fight. Pro MMA or not.

At least you tried, and it was good game also. I LOL'd in real life reading what you told the boyfriends.

Do you like apples?

Well you got two babes with boyfriends to laugh at their own bf's & smile at you.

How do you like THEM apples? Hahahaha...man I thought you guys got flooded in Japan with the tsunami and stuff?

 

[AAAgent]

well here's a start.

Went out with a bunch of co-workers to a bar. One of them was there with his gf who was already there with her girlfriend. I introduced myself to her said hi and went back to my friends. Later on, when the time was right i heard them talking about something i was interested in and i chimed in. We talked about nursing then me going to hong kong, etc. After a nother few minutes i left the convo. They were preparing for their girls night out and i stopped by to say bye. She told me to have a good trip in HK.

I could tell there was some interest but not enough to guarantee a 100% number close.

Man i'm the youngest out of all my co-workers it'd be a lot easier if i was the same age or older. Everyone is like 26, 27, 28+.

 

[Guinea Pig]

There was a event in my school that offered free salsa dancing lessons. I figured it was a new way to meet women. I felt out of place until I saw one of my classmates in my math class. She was in a couple of my math classes before but we never talked until now.

GP: Hey
HB: Oh hiii. You're in my algebra class aren't you?
GP: Yea...Have you taken salsa dancing before?
HB: Once,but I'm not very good
GP: I never taken it, but it shouldnt be too hard

From there we talked about salsa, the upcoming tests, our goals in life, etc. So then the lessons began, I kept messing up the basic steps but I got the rest (sidestep, susie Q, right turn) perfectly. I got Tania first (math classmate from before) we did ok for the most part nothing really special.

We had to switch partners and I got britney. She is really hot, best looking out of all of the girls. I managed to say a hello and how you are doing? but it didnt go further than that. She was uninterested, looking down and avoiding eye contact with me.


Next partner I had was this clumsy asian girl named Sally. I kept making fun of her for messing up the steps. We talked about salsa and about her sorority (Tania was also in the same sorority). Most of the time was spent me teaching her the dance steps.


Last one I had was small dorky girl named Patricia. She seemed pretty cool for the most part. We talked about standard stuff (salsa, school,major,etc...) I wanted to ask for her number but I hesitated at the last minute and pussied out -_-. Well I did the task....

ETA: When we had to switch partners we had to choose which girl i wanted and I chose the girl that was easily approachable.

With Patricia/Britney I had a standard convo which was something like this

Me: Hey
Ladies: Hi
Me: Taking salsa for the first time?
Ladies: Yea I'm kinda nervous though (some variation of that between the two)
Me: Don't worry about it. We're just here to have fun right?

Dunno where to go from there....


And with Sally it was more like

*missed a couple of steps*

Me: Wow, you really suck at this
Sally: Shutup!!! I'm trying here!!
Me: Just pay attention and follow me...

Dunno what to say after that as well...

 

[powpow]

Do you like apples?

Well you got two babes with boyfriends to laugh at their own bf's & smile at you.

How do you like THEM apples? Hahahaha...man I thought you guys got flooded in Japan with the tsunami and stuff?

hahahaha yeah actually we did. But my part of Japan didnt really receive much impact. I have some pals in the other places that were hit hard, but they are all alive and uninjured. Im very happy.

Yeah, I think I came on a little strong, but you know sometimes you just get in a MOOD! YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!

So yeah, as a result of the massive apocalypse that just hit my country, the party I was going to go to was cancelled in observance of all the tragedy bla bla bla. Thus, my friends all pretty much split up. I am considering going to the club all by myself.

This will put me WAY out of my comfort zone.
Never been to the club by myself.
I dont speak Japanese for btch.
I always tend to get blind drunk when I go to the club and act stupid. Not violent stupid. Just dancing around stupid. Talking to everyone stupid.

Clubs free before 11. Takes me an hour by train to get to the spot I was recommended. Just popped open a chu-hi ****tail. That 9% joint. Grapefruit.

I think I am gonna go. This will be good practice I think. Ill see how it goes.

Also, Im having a problem. One of my new plates keeps telling me not to flirt with other girls. Im like, sup, youre a plate. Im like, hello, youre a 9. Why you so insecure about this? Sounds like she wants a relationship YIKES!!!! So in response, Im gonna go out and flirt with everyone.

Also, I have a big fat black eye because my freakin coach hit me SQUAW IN THE NOSE TODAY. What a ****block. Ill update you players. Play on. HOLLLAAAAAAAAA
