Has anyone completed the Bootcamp in the U.K???

[The_Shnitz]

I would love to do this, but i don't know if i will be able to make it!
You see, I have this problem, I'm a big Puszy.

I know that this bootcamp is what I need to improve my life, get into shape and become the man I want to be and live my dreams, but I am unsure if I can go through with it all without puszying out.

Also, I have read through the bootcamp and am not the first person to notice that it is very tailored to the U.S

I mean in the U.K it is just not done to say 'hello' to a stranger as you walk past, or chat to somebody you dont know....people think you are some kinda weirdo....don't they???

Has anyone actually done the bootcamp in the U.K to good results? If so, I'll be in, but as I said, I'm a big puszy....but I do need to get on with my life.

Im tired of living in fear.

hey shnitz

ive been doing some of the stuff unofficialy, talking to strangers is getting easier, an its not wierd approaching strangers, just got to look for the right moments, i started of talking to the waitresses in different coffe sahops, then just sitting by strangers an makin talk, then i would look for people standing around and i would just say hi, it becomes easy after the fist few an then its time to approach girls, but i havent got that far yet, ime just getting a heads up before i actually go for the real thing.. it excites me tho, so ime looking forward to it.. catch

Step Up

Shnitz - I live in the UK and I am currently doing a bootcamp. Yeah, you are right, it's tailored completely to the US, that's why I'm treating it as an experiment and seeing what works and doesn't work, and modifying it along the way. Go over to the high school forum and see the 'Step Up Bootcamp'.

Join it!

I live in the U.S. It's really not common to say "Hi" to people you don't know over here either.

I agree its not common in the UK either but that makes it all the more special when you do it. I have done it a few times on campus and its surprising how many big smiles and "hi's" you get back. How many other guys have done this to her today? You have probably just made her day! ... would you like it if a girl walked passed you and smiled and said hi? Course you would!

Also, dont rag on the ones that dont say hi back though and think its because of you! You may have caught them unawares or they might just been having a bad day, time of the month etc ....

Plan to start Bootcamp this week. Unfortunatly I work now which leaves me work and the city centre as my petri dish. Anyone in the same boat please please contact me and I will online wingman!

I'm living in Ireland, and I've had no problems running the boot camp so far. I'm on Week 4, and I've hit a bit of laziness, but overall its been suprisingly easy. Ireland would have similiar set-ups to the UK.

Is the boot camp recommended im from scotland and ever tried it? Although now i have no problems with going into bars and talking to a crowd of 5 girls if i get a reason to talk to them.

There was a good thread a while back about how different it is between the UK and the USA. However, i think the general consensus in the end was that while it is marginally harder in the UK, as we are all so uptight, it is not the done thing in America either.

Remember the USA is vast, there is not one unified way of behaviour across the whole country. Things are different in different areas; its more acceptable to speak to random people in New York than in Washington and trust me, i did, when i was over there.
