Approach #30 Baseball game sarging! – Company outing (7:00 pm)
3 set, all taken chicks clad in pink. I saw them walking around and being social in our giant corporate party, so I decided to approach them once they were standing still. My wing tells me to open with “do you know what seats these tickets belong to?”

Me: (approach from side, shoulder lean in, very warm vibe) Do you know what seats these tickets belong to?”
Her: (instant powerful sexual vibe) Oh yeah of course, it’s blah blah blah…. Saying something about her husband up in the stands.
Me: Cool, maybe I can put you up on my shoulders and we can wave him down?
Her: (laughs)

Friends CB her when I didn’t engage them after initial opener, my wing came in to talk to the other girls but they eventually left. We re-opened up them up at the bar. They were happy to see as 2 ugly older mofos were hanging on them not saying much – pressuring to get the girls to drink more. We flirt and I try to prop my sunglasses on my targets head after she said she used to work as a financial assistant for the sunglass company. She said it a big negative, so I cut threads. She’s eating cracker jacks so I take some and then my wing busts on the prize. Target sticks the prize into my jeans pocket. She was beginning to kino escalate me, and her friend was getting jealous, so I open her and do some kino on her with some chit chat. I even noticed my target hiding her ring arm behind her back the entire set. Eventually the oldest in the pack comes back into set and ejects us.

I felt pretty good about AMOGing the uninteresting guys out of set. I never noticed them leaving till much after the set.

Approach #31 Baseball game sarging! – Company outing (7:45 pm)
3 set, 1 was a former co-worker who had a giant b!tchshield and fake shell personality.

Herr: Resilient!!!! (flags me down to come over to her with big smile)
Me: Hey, how’ve you been? I thought I recognized you.
Her: Great. Who are you here with?
Me: I’m with my buddy, wing, who also works for the company.

Talk about the company, what I’m up to real short, and she ejects me quickly to get back to some scummy looking dude, so I immediately turn around to game her friends with a warm vibe and make her jealous. It works because the two get turned onto me and I start to sense attraction from one of them. My co-worker gets pissed and comes CBs and takes her friends to the other side of the bar. I see her later getting sloshed. I talk it over with wing for a while and I decide to re-open set up after much approach anxiety. They are pretty loud drunk set and one girl looks like she’s about to fall over. I go in with higher energy with who lies more opener. I signal wing into set. He runs a few stacked routines but eventually blows us out because his negs are incongruent and a bit harsh. I sense the ebb and flow and try to rescue the girl earlier with attraction. “Hey maybe we should let your friend and my friend argue it outside (smile, kino)” this really releases the tension she felt, but the set was already blown. My wings’ target digged the push/pull games, but her friend weren’t into it and wanted to leave. It was the first time I saw my target hold a fake smile during an entire set – start to finish. My wing was shocked his routine stack backfired and saw his target get really offensive. I’m not sure what I learned from this set, but I should learn something…

Approach #32 Bar downtown (11:45 pm)
4 mixed set, 4 guys 1 girl

Tuesday night was dead downtown and I was out rolling with 5 PUAs deep, lol. So we were a threatening bunch. Eventually we found a loud happening bar. There were a few sets inside but mostly older crowd. I opened an older woman with a big chest. I had to shout over the music and she had to keep leaning in and yell to. No luck. I got CB by an older dude, exchanged names a little chit chat then I ejected due to the noise.

Approach #33 Lounge near airport (11:20 pm)
Blond HB7

I see her standing alone under a heat lamp outside on the main deck, so I decide to approach since I have proximity.

Me: Trying to stay warm over here?
Her: Yeah….
Me: I would too, but I’m already pretty warm tonight
(either bf/husband/fb whatever sees me talking to his girl so he comes in and CBs me. I forgot to open him and get his name, so I eject pre-maturely to get back to friends. Bad move. It was an obvious old pick-up mistake)

Approach #34 Hotel sand rooftop club “the beach” (11:58 pm)
4 set, 3 porn stars, 1 normal girl

My two wings had been eyeing these girls sitting down by themselves not talking to each other and looking bored. They took photos of themselves, but looked bored sitting down on the longest lounge couch facing the whole open beach sand on roof top. Easy opening. I got a little approach anxiety so I walk away to regroup opening strategy. So hilariously, my wing and I think of a funny idea. He’s Indian, but was trying to look like a Mexican gangster tonight, so I walk over and introduce him as “the gangster from mexico, who can offer protection” banter insues for 30 mins with "Candy" "Sugar" and some other name I forgot.

HB5Candy: Show me your grill (says to wing)
Me: Agh, you got braces too.. SO I have to ask, does that make it hard when you're going down on a guy?
HB5Candy: (shocked - open mouth, wide eyed)
Me: (grins)

Me: So what do you guys do in Miami?
HB8.5: (makes humping motion with arms)
Me: Nice. Obviously, but what else did you end up doing?
HBSugar8.5: blah blah
HBSugar8.5: (puts foot in between my leg and begins rubbing my leg up and down) $500. So are you interested?
Me: Hmm.. that's a bit pricy, my buddy (points to wing) charges $1000
HBSugar8.5: (frowns) So how old are you?
Me: Guess.
HBSugar8.5:22
Me: Nope, higher (motions up with thumb)
HBSugar8.5:23
Me: Nope, (moves in to sit down next to her and points to my face). nearly 25.
HBSugar8.5loses interest)..
Wing: (Codes me to eject)

All and all funny set, I loved retelling this story. As these are the first porn stars/prostitutes I've ever approached.

Approach #35 Yellowstone National Park (3:22 pm)
HB6.66 light brunette: Day Game Cold Approaches Me in Park w/photo routine! (great story)

Her: (gives me the twice over look as I’m sitting down on a bench when she turns around) Can you take a picture of my aunt and I by the waterfall?
Me: (looks at my brother, and says he can)
Her: (situational chit chat about the waterfall we were viewing)
Me: So what are you doing now?
Her: I just got into Penn state and I want to be a model. I think I could do it since I’m already a professional dancer and know how to move.
Me: Cool. (but laughing inside at her hard qualifier)
Her: Only thing holding her back is a recent ankle injury

The aunt and niece had been traveling across the states for a week on a 6 week road trip. They had slept in their car the night before due to no vacancy at the motels. They acted like they were on crack due to lack of sleep. Funny jokes were cracked and the aunt played 20 Qs with me while the niece isolated my brother's roomie.

I thought about @closing the niece, to hear about her future adventures, but she was really into my bro’s roommate and I didn't want to CB his game since she was obviously into him with proximity and mirroring his body language.

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

I got invited to a birthday party for two founding members of this group called English Second Language (ESL). A bunch of international people hanging out here. I had fun asking everyone about who they were routing for in the world cup or how they knew the group leader. It was mostly for social purposes and not sarging.

The highlight was this girl chatting with a friend of mine on the crowded patio. I said something witty and the next thing I know it, she’s a cementer from kissing my lips when I gently AMOGed my friend. I am not sure how I created such sexual tension, but wish I was braver to act quicker and say “what? You want to kiss me? Or… turn my cheek and say, “No… the other cheek” and point for her to kiss it. I’m not sure what I’m doing with vibing, but everything is starting to feel like it’s becoming naturalized and I’m not afraid of my sexuality like I was so much for years in my church upbringing. A tip a PUA friend of mine gave me to use next time a girl gets close to my head for a kiss, lean my forehead into hers to initiate a kiss.

Good, but why aren't you closing?

Me: Ok. But, I'll need the money up front.

 

[nonchalant]

good to see you posting again man. you have the C+F down cold. these didn't seem like closing opportunities, so i wouldn't worry about not trying to close them - other than for the practice.

 

[resilient]

VegasGuy- I don't close, because club girls don't call back guys they meet. I've had maybe 2 girls actually call back the last few months I've been out sarging. My wing tells me to day2 close (have date already planned in mind, but I need to practice this delivery more so it comes off confident and solid so she'll not want to reject).

"You know what? I like you (kino/hug). You can join me at the beach for surfing on Sunday. I can pick you up at 11am or 12pm. Which works best for you?" <-- assume the sale

I'd pull if I lived close to the bars/clubs, but I'm about 40 minute drive from the beach and downtown scene I frequent. They are ready for bed after the drinks and time spent and can't stay awake for a 40 minute drive. Plus I don't know if these girls would get in a car with a stranger like me - especially if they're already tipsy.

Should be heading out to Vegas with a few buddies in July maybe we can meet up. Too bad you're not 21 yet, otherwise we could sarge Vegas together.

nonchalant - Constantly getting out in the field at night 2-3 times a week is really increasing my whit and social intelligence. Now I know why the pros stress going out frequently and constantly practicing approaching. I stopped reading all the seduction theory because it started to mess with my mind as in what to say at the moment, but now I can pretty much think of this stuff on the fly. heh!

Vulpine- Awesome critique, your responses to her inquiry would have been hilarious as well!

It's the summer now and I'm getting better at pick-up. I hope to finally get day2/day3s soon. Hard patience and consistent practice pays off right? I sure hope so, cuz the bar/club scene is begining to wear me out a bit, since girls go out to get ego stroked and not for dates. The only thing I can think of is I'm not developing enough attraction yet for them to want to chill and actually answer the phone.

Living around a nice suburban family community is killing my game, lol. At least the place looks really classy when I invite them over for wine, cheese+crackers. =)

I just read Gunwitch 1 & 2 again for a little "pick me up" before I head out tonight. I suggest you re-visit them also. I'm having a damn hard time ramping up and isolating. But, my situation is a little unique. Stay positive and don't let perceived failures slow you down, dude.

 

[resilient]

your critique is funny Vulpine, yet I agreee it's all in remaining positive and keeping my head up straight that the good times will role. Whenever I get discouraged I think of Thomas Edison breaking thousands of light bulbs to get one to work. I have to constantly remind myself that's about the journey and not the final destination that makes all this figuring out and experimenting worth while. Cheers!

House warming party (sorta a LR)
So my older brother and I threw a house warming party for his new place. I was co-hosting and went out to get some giant pizzas when it started. When I came back, I announced my arrival then met everyone in the room. My ex from 6 years ago that I’m still friends with showed up and we immediately started to flirt. For the most part it was a couples party, so no one to sarge at my own party, but my ex, heh. A few drinks later and I tell her I have a hilarious story about a drunk dial of hers to me late last year. She wants to hear it, but not in front of small house party. I take her up stairs to my room to tell the story. There are no chairs in my room so she sits on my bed. I retell it and the story was basically how she drunk dialed me for a booty call. I move closer and do more kino the next thing I know I’m making out with her. It gets wild and frisky, and she ends up staying the night. I lite candles and gave her a massage, but could not blast through LMR. She wanted a relationship and has only slept with her 1st boyfriend that she broke up with a year ago. Since then, she wants to only do it again once she’s in a commited relationship. Oh snap, heh…. so I freeze her out and go to bed after talking for hours when her ASD kicked in. I reassured that it wasn’t an ONS and that we’d “hang” over the summer. I liked getting the compliment of “you’ve changed” though.

County fair (6 approaches)
Went with a wing and planned on meeting up with another wing. We went to see the fair and the attractions, but ended up gaming a little bit. I made half a dozen approaches today. Most of what I said was situational and ****y funny. I didn’t go in direct, although some of sets stuck and the HB hanged around to chat a bit. I primarily used this experience to practice vibing better. No #closes, but it was hilarious for a woman in her late 30s / early 40s to hit on me when I asked her female opinion on a cowboy hat, to which her reply was don’t wear any, because you have a “young boy” look and you don’t want to look like Heath Ledger in Brokenback mountain. Probably could have closed her if I gave her any direct IOI/SOIs, but I like girls my age, so I passed up this one.

Roof top club downtown (4 approaches)
I had nearly an hour to shower up, redress and head out downtown and meet up with my two wings. I was really tired from walking around the fair all day and so I was running out of energy. I had to walk nearly 9 blocks to get to our hotel club. We had trouble getting in, so we snuck in – in a roundabout way through the restaurant and behind the elevator where a bouncer was blocking the entrance. That’s how PUAs roll out right? Haha…. I was not in state and getting increasingly tired. I made some ballsy approaches from half way across the roof top to open up a few sets. Most of material did not stick. I ran out of things to say and didn’t really feel like stacking routines, so I ejected when 2 CBs came back to rescue a set. In hindsight I should have introduced myself and ushered them into the set when my back was facing them.

My wing and I did met a 3 set at the bar and chatted them up for nearly a half hour. They were going to venue change us to another bar that wasn’t so good, but I was already winging another set for my friend who was beginning to lose it. We did however run into them later when the hotel club closed at the bar they went to and got sh!t tested for going there just for them. We may have closed them, but they were already too drunk and there were guys swarming all around. Tiredness, hot room temp with no A/C really killed my state. They weren’t even that hot so we bailed.

45/300 Cold Approaches

Roof top hotel downtown (0 approaches)
Was in a real bad negative state when I met up with my two wings. I was clad in my punk Whippersnapper shirt, jeans, black belt, and faux haircut. I was stone cold and didn’t feel like approaching tonight, but I came out anyway.

Popular beach venue (3 approaches)
The place was dead, so we left early to go to popular beach hang out venue. One in particular where Mehow and Mystery got blown out badly recently. One girl even took off with Mystery’s top hat and it managed to piss him off pretty well. The greatest description of the meat market aka sausage fest here is that the girls here are just 21 and seem to be on A.D.D. with extremely high b!tchshields. It’s the best field ground to practice neg theory. Here’s what happened:

Approach #46 Beach bar line entrance (11:30 pm)
Me: Do you guys know if there’s a cover to get in?
HBBrunette7: No, there isn’t one.
Me: I see. (notices her 5 HB friends) Are you guys all friends?
HBBrunette7: Yeah… (looks disinterested)
Me: Where you from?
HBBrunette7: Boston.
Me: Oh, cool. So are you just visiting for the 4th weekend holiday?
HBBrunette7: Yeah, staying with a uncle.
Me: (question train, and her lack of commitment, so I eject and turn back around to friends).


Approach #47 Beach bar (11:48 pm)
Me: (notices purse) Woe… what it’s in the handbag? You got a gun in there?
HBBlond6.5: No….
Me: It looks really edgy with the giant lock you have on the purse. Are you going to war?
HBBlond6.5: (wide eyed, mean face) No…
Me: Alright, well – I’ll be watching out for you (winks)

Approach #48 Beach bar – getting water (12:05 am)
(notices HBRedhead6 giving me proximity and EC)
Me: The line’s pretty bad, probably going to take you 10 mins to barge through.
HBRedhead6: With these (points to breasts) you’d think I would have it easy getting up there.
Me: I know right? Man... I wish I had some of those sometimes. It takes forever to get the bartenders attention.
HBRedhead6: (slight smile, silence, and then gets up to bar between wing and I. Gets drink and turns to rejoin friends.)
Wing: Follow up, don’t eject.
Me: I’m staling out and she seems uninterested.
Wing: Nah man, you just were just saying what every other guy says, come in with something more interesting. Have 2-3 routines cued up.

Roof top hotel downtown (0 approaches)
Was in a real bad negative state again when I met up with my two wings, but decided to go out anyway. A big surprise came to me when 6 other guys in my wingmen group show up. I didn’t realize everyone was gaming the same place, but was cool to see my friends. I was the first one here so I warmed up with the guests in the hotel lobby with a drink before proceeding to the rooftop. Our giant guy group chat for a bit and we discover two other PUAs chillen alone. One was a newbie and never had approached, the other was nearly 30 and had been gaming naturally but not necessarily with the community.

Anyway, to get into state I decide to make a few approaches with my wing to get into a social state. He was really good and for the most part did most the opening where I would come in and wing him. 2 guys aren’t a threat, so we were able to approach several 2sets tonight.

Approach #49 Inside hotel lobby on inside balcony (10:15 pm)
(notices 2set leaning against the rail)

Me: Hey guys (kino the girl on entrance from shoulder entry) do you know if the hotel will make my friend and I go back through the line if we want to go downstairs and chill in the lobby.
HBBrunette5: Hmm.. I have no idea.
Me: Alright, we’ll figure it out. Thanks anyways.

Back upstairs, notices two women in the swings. Wing opens, I wing him and occupy the obstacle. My obstacle looks bored and basically girl codes the friend to leave. Interesting enough my wing had taken ballroom dancing classes with one of the girls, but her friend pressured her to leave the hotel.

Wing spots HB7 in a weird ****tail dress that made her seem like the dude from the “where’s waldo” books. I give him that opener and he goes in with a neg. Turns out it really was more on the insult side. Funny ****y conversation ensues when I come in to wing, but we eject since we came across as jerks.

Approach #50 Inside hotel lobby on inside balcony (11:15 pm)
(notices 2set standing just outside of the giant sand pit.

Me: Do you guys know how low this sand goes?
HBOld4: No… (looks annoyed that I opened her old self)
Me: Hmm.. ya I’m curious. I wonder how deep it is. It looks like if we weren’t careful, we’d fall right through the roof.
HBOld4 and HBOld5: Laughs
Me: (notices they aren’t really into talking me and begin to make way to the bar)
HBOld4: Excuse us.

Agh, and then finally the BREAKTHROUGH set of the night.

Wing notices a 2set standing alone on the rooftop that haven’t known the English language long and are living downtown in a foreign district. So he approaches from the side and over her shoulder.

Wing: Where you from?
HBBrazilian8: Brasil
Me: And you (turns to other girl)
HBItalian6.5: Italy
(fluff, sees Brazilian girl tapping her empty beer cup looking bored, so I say)
Me: Hey your drink looks empty, you guys want to get some more drinks at the bar?
(drops my almost empty cup on accident - spills a little jack&coke – nearly ruined set :crazy
HBBrazilian8: Yeah, lets go.
(we turn to walk infront of them, but then don’t see if they are following. My wing turns around and their 15 feet back – doing girl talk. :nervous: Crap! So we quickly rejoin and they say they are going to meet friends.
Me: Oh great, I’d like to meet your friends too.

I meet two guys and a girl. Very cool Europeans and I chat them up about the world cup tour. I get locked in doing 90/10 and unintentionally both guys get up and leave. My wings and his target sit down on the lounge couch and my wing smartly tells my brand new target to move over close to me. Body language is tight the whole interaction and I end up @closing (she only had a German international cell #) her for a day2 of surfing with me on Tuesday after work. I was really happy and received a few IOIs as well as delivering a choppy SOI over the course of 30-45 mins I talked to her. I hope she doesn’t flake.

 

[nonchalant]

the last set was nice.
there is an anti flake technique on MM forums that i hear works well.

 

[resilient]

dayGame improvement!

Update 7/11/06 – HBGerman7 flaked. Not a surprise from a club/hotel girl. Oh well. Maybe next time.

Approach #51 Barnes & Noble (3:00 pm)
(picks up Dating For Dummies big yellow book, and walks over to HBMarriedRedHead5)

Me: (walks up close to her body, notices she’s reading a book not looking at me yet) Excuse me?
HBMarriedRedHead5: (looks over at me)
Me: (hold ups book in front of my face so cover is showing to her. Holds up pointy finger) One sec! (Reads and scans page again.)
HBMarriedRedHead5: (looks confused)
Me: So um… do you come here often?
HBMarriedRedHead5: (eyes go bigger)
Me: (glances down at book again and scans the next line) What’s your sign?
HBMarriedRedHead5: I’m married.
Me: Oh no worries, I was just messing around (smiles). I’ll see you later.

I had a lot of approach anxiety in this creative approach. I’m terribly lacking in day game so this helped me get over the anxiousness one feels in an approach in the daylight. My heart was beating so fast afterwards, but I got such a great rush and laugh afterwards from doing it.

Approach #52 Just outside Starbucks (4:33 pm)
(walks by a 2set sitting down slurping their mochas at a table)

Me: Hey guys, what’s up with big face sunglasses?
HBAsian6: (eyes confused, but she stays and comes back to table)
Me: Yeah, I was wondering why you guys have giant sunglasses?
HBAsian7: Oh, I’ve been wearing these for 4 years before they got so popular.
Me: Hmm… yeah that’s a trip. You’d figure with such beautiful faces you guys would want to extenuate what you’ve been gifted with (smile/grin)
Me: (Goes off about fashion but starts to stall out)
Wing: (comes in to rescue set, fluff)
Me: So what’s a good flavor at this ice cream place behind us? I don’t want to pack on too many calories.
Her: (blah, blah)
Me: (I get bored so I code wing to keep on moving to ice cream store.)

I waited longer than 3sec to approach, but when my wing came back from bathroom I was ready to jump into the set. The girls were seniors in high school, so I wasn’t going to kino or bust out the SOIs lol.

Approach #53 Just outside ice cream shop (5:04 pm)
(walks by a 2set sitting down slurping their mochas at a table) = 60 minute set!

Me: Hey guys are using this chair? (warm smile)
HB7-Asian30yr: No, you can use it. (reciprocates smile)
Wing: Oh it’s cool man, sit there, I’ll grab another chair for this table (awesome confidence on his part!)

My wing stacks his routines and I smile on the fly and add a little into the stories. This has been one of my longest sets. I would DHV some stories, but they were brief and sometimes not congruent with what he had to say. I also accidentally retold a story twice after I didn’t get any reaction out of my punch line.

After the set my wing said good job on the set, but wants to see me have more backup DHV stories since he was mostly 80/10 in the conversation. I would engage him to cut the thread if he went on too long as I was better at gauging body language then he was. I also kept the shy HB6-Asian30yr friend contributing when she would go too silent. One IOI I did get from the friend was “Are you dating anyone too?” Eventually they look at watches and decide it’s getting late. I catch the friend eye coding the HB7-Asian30yr to leave and sort of busted on her with my frown expression, but it was nice they gave us a long conversation. So they politely excuse themselves.

Vegas, baby, Vegas!

Vegas Roadtrip - July 21st – July 23rd 2006
Crew: Me, Alex, Slojodan, V, and ICE.
Bonus Crew: VegasGuy56 (fellow DJ bootcamp member, that I didn't get the chance to meet up with but wanted to credit him here.)

Friday Pre-Game (20 approaches)
We’ve been planning this trip for nearly a month. Last week failed due to early planning, but we went this weekend. For the most of us it was our first time going to Las Vegas.

Goals of trip:
-Take pictures
-Walk the strip
-Visit all the hotel casinos
-Play a few black jack tables
-Get into a popular club
-Get as many approaches in as possible

Midnight – 9am
Friday night we warmed up with some phone game exercises we got from Stylelife. I used them on flake/failed #closes, so it was good to get some progress in handling with women on the phone. ICE handled a crazy psycho boyfriend’s call nonchalantly.

We got in at midnight and went straight out to the strip after showering. I opened the first 2set of the night: two early 20 something girls from Maine that just had flown in.

Direct openers practiced:
1.“You guys looking to party tonight?”
2.“Hey guys, so where’s the party at?” (smile)
3.“Did you win much tonight?”
4.“I like your style. Where you from?”
5.“How’s the club? 30 for cover seems a bit steep for me”
6."You guys looking to get laid?" (moving 2set, took balls to say this)

Women were receptive to an approach, so they were in a nice social state to talk.

I got in about 20 approaches that night and ended up sarging till 9am. I walked back to the hotel with ICE whereas the other guys took a cab back. On the way back we got food at Denny’s and I chatted 5mixed of Australians that were just leaving town. Really cool people. One of them was into me and couldn’t stop staring at me after we sat down. I got approach anxiety for some reason and had a hard time approaching their table. I got Paralysis from Analysis, but eventually approached with my Kangawallafox DHV story I got from traveling with Australians all of last summer. Unfortunately, it didn’t stick, so I cut thread with “what are some funny slang words you guys use. I bet you’ll have a ton of them”

Saturday Day Game (15 approaches)
We slept in till late afternoon, but eventually got up to check out the strip. A few of the guys got an alcoholic drink since you could walk on the strip with alcohol.

Failed Time-bridge(C1): Too ****y, not enough playful
I had one 2set really stick with C+F. After a blond got out of a beach lounge chair, I took her seat. She saw this and said “hey, your friend took my seat, but that’s ok because he’s hot.” (IOI). Slojodan heard this, so he called her back over. I vibed a little and played C+F on her. Unfortunately, I didn’t reward her after she gave me some answers about herself and eventually blew myself out of set with style’s “You girls are from OC? I hate OC girls. I can’t hang out with you guys” My delivery sucked, and I sounded too serious, so she walked away. I was bummed because she called me sexy at least twice and she had a decent body and a nice chest.

We eventually went back to our hotel later that night to change. ICE #closed a girl he had isolation for nearly 30 minutes. I was really impressed with his gaming. His opener was “So, did he call you back? Men are such pigs. P-I-G-S.” This immediately got a few laughs from her and he proceeded to banter her some more before pulling her aside for comfort building. She eventually met him later that night at the club Drais (After party).

Alex gave me an opener on a girl that was in the hotel hallway and gave it a try “I like your style. Where you from?” I think she was in her teens and I could see her chest beating fast, so I eventually ejected myself after not getting far in the conversation. It however was a good approach for direct game.

Later in the club’s line. I approached a girl I was 100% my type. Tall brunette 5’6” jeans, black top, semi-pale face, light make up. We didn’t want to pay 30 dollars for cover, so we gambled at the black jack tables a bit more before gaming the street early in the morning. The hookers were out in force and eventually I stopped a 2set with “You guys want to hang out? We’re heading back to our hotel”. Two tall black girls who we later found out were hookers. We had some excellent kino and SS practice with them, but we eventually left when we discovered our IOIs weren’t legit. It was quite an experience though. One of my wings #closed one of them to hang “off-hours” at 6am.

We overslept a little in the morning, but eventually made it on the road at noonish. We stopped at a cool prairie casino to gamble and get a buffet. We doubled our money at the tables which was cool, and then got back on the road. On the way back to San Diego our car overheated at 110 degrees. It was a trip, but we fixed it at the gas station and enjoyed ice cold glass Cokes.

One thing I learned about Vegas: If you go to Vegas… don’t plan to sleep much at all.

Just checking in with my Approachzilla project. When I stopped sarging at the end of July I think I got up to 500 approaches. I started in February and went out 2-3 nights a week for 6 months straight. I learned a lot and got some really suave wings, but alas I quit the pua group after a fallout with some of the wings. I'm back in the community though. I've been doing some lite day gaming at bookstores, mall, fairs, etc. and most recently been going out 1 night a weak (usually Friday) to re-practice pick-up.

I took 6 weeks off to re-work some inner game. I took up meditation daily, waking up early, speed reading, learning spanish, and dance as my self-improvement tasks.

Resilient is back in business! I'm going to be stepping up the approaches. I resolved my differences with the two wings and now we're better friends for it.

6 Months of Game Critiqued
Had an amazing critique of my game tonight by these two guys who know me well as they were there to sarge many of these months together and coincidently the best in my cities' Lair. They basically said I don't know to keep talking 90/10 or story tell. Talking past 5 mins to a group to me is extremely hard to do as it takes a lot of effort and I hate being center spot light. But my wings stressed the importance of doing your homework and practicing your material in private. Juggler students can't go by just comfort game, they have to learn attraction game, which is why MM students far surpass in club/bar game.

So essentially, when a guy stales out and doesn't know how to thread cut and hook the set back in. BAMN he's lost his frame. So now I finally know why I had no progress. You can't just go to a club/bar blindfolded and hope for the best, just like a performer, comedian, magician, etc. we have to practice our material, otherwise we are just another face in the crowd. Another AFC practicing dull pick up lines hoping, it will be an easy 5 min #close, which she won't likely call back anyway due to her phone being filled with AFCs calling her. Hopefully, we'll see some breakthroughs in the next few months now that I know I have to practice before I go out and approach.

I got my first f-close of the year recently from HBScandinavian6 this month.

We had talked a few times on the phone over the summer, but I couldn't for the life of me get her out on a date. Finally one night late at a bar, I started up some sexual tension via phone texting, which ended in the close. So I suppose things are looking up. Only bad thing is that she lives with her mom 45 mins from me who leaves 8 missed calls on phone when she takes the car and comes over. "NEXT" I know....

I'm open to feedback if you guys want to add anything as well. I'm trying to reconnect in what it means to be a DJ since I haven't been on this site at all in nearly two months while trying to do my own thing and become a responsible man with his life, career, and finances - which to me should all be above women..

Even though you're much more DJ then Pugs and Jwhites in your approuches but I din't enjoy your approuch as much or find much inspiration from reading it. Don't get me wrong, I wish I was able to do what you're doing. I have a feeling your journal won't get as popular as Pugs and Jwhites becuase most of the guys here can relate to those 2 better and we love to root for the underdog. I mean even Jayer journal got abit popular while Jwhites and Pugs almost got legendary status as far as Journal goes...

Just something intresting I notice...

*Update* It's been about exactly a year since I joined. I'm getting almost nostalgic because I remember printing out and reading all the articles off the main page and starting with the basic Nice Guy vs. Jerk dynamic. Now, I've been onto more advance social dynamics theories by gurus Juggler, TD, and Mystery eBooks as I've gotten over my approach anxiety and feel more relaxed in a bar/club environment.

A few plates I'm spinning

HBScandinavian6
I had to NEXT this one after she got crazy and sent me confusing mixed signals after f-closing twice. Turns out she lied about not having a b/f and I found out through one of her guy friends that she had a b/f in the Navy (not surprised, she's hooking up on the side). She has bad low self-esteem and bitter towards men and her father, so I moved on after trying to get something started. *one tip* I can leave on this one. I #closed her off a dating site and we chatted on phone over the summer. It wasn't until the fall did I get out her out for a f-close without even a date first. I dropped this plate last month, but she still wants to remain "friends" w/o intimacy. NEXT.

Met this girl at a dance venue. She aggressively approached me. I played indifferent and she pursued me for my # and she suggested several dates. She seemed to me the AFC version of a woman. I wasn't used to this amount of attention. I played it cool and met up with her the next night for drinks with her guy roommate. I crashed her couch after I had drank too much. I deleted # because I thought she was just an AW, but went on dates a few weeks later after she proved herself that she was sincerely interested. I've k-closed her twice and she seems the most promising plate. She has 80% interest level invested since she calls/texts almost too much. She is the most promising one so I'll keep dating her. Thanks to Doc Love's advice I'm taking this one slow and kino escalating slowly to build up more hours invested with for comfort before sealing the deal.

HBBlondNurseDD7.5
A friend of my brother's g/f. I tried f-closing her after a boat party that ended at my bro's pad. I was a little tipsy so my seduction was uncalibrated. I went for fool's mate and got LMR of "..I think we'd regret doing this." I freezed her out and we went back to sleep. That was exactly a year ago. Since then we hung out as a group twice. She still flirts with me and calls me "Matt Damon" (I guess I look like him). We've had a ton of sexual tension on myspace, but I don't want to f-close because of her being a mommy of a 2 year old and she lives 40 mins away.

There's also some cute college girls in my ballroom/latin dance club - but I don't want to date any of them because everyone knows me there so it's kind of a like a company thing. Once I get serious or hook up with one it's harder to keep flirting with all.

I still go out sarging every week or so, but definately not my old 2-3 nights out schedule. Also another note, I took 30-45 mins of meditation daily and it really helped kill my nervous energy opening sets in bars/clubs. My tonality is better and I'm not blurting out to finish my sentence at an opener. My posture is much more relaxed and better looking.
