Sir Lancelot's DJ Bootcamp

[Sir Lancelot]

Hey guys, how's life?

I've been away from the site for a little while because I've been busy with some family stuff but I'm back now. One thing I've noticed is that if you don't get your mack on often you begin to lose the magic. I've officially lost my magic, and I'm not really feeling very confident. The solution to not feeling confident and bold, of course, is the DJ bootcamp.

This time around I want to actually finish it, the last time I only got to like week 4.

I probably should have joined the bootcamp that's going on right now but I'm a few weeks behind, I don't think I'd be able to catch up in time. So I'm making a new thread, and plan on beginning BC on Monday, July 18th. If you're considering bootcamp then please join me, it's always cool to have other people participating at the same time

I'll see ya on monday for my first report

If you've done through week 4 before, you may want to just jump right in. The participation has really seemed to drop - I think there may be 5 of us still participating. There's nothing to lose by joining. You can do all 4 weeks at once. Make eye contact, say hi, have a conversation, then get the number - that's it in a nutshell.

Join us, Sir Lancelot "The Brave"

I would but I've been out of the game for too long. I did that bootcamp over a year ago, probably almost 2 years ago.

I'm down to join.. I actually just posted a reply in the WEEK4 of the bootcamp going on right now seeing if it was alright to join, but I somehow doubt that i'll be able to catch up for 4 lost weeks.

I've been lurking around on this site for months now.. read the DJ bible and read the DJ Bootcamp (that's actually how i discovered this place.. was linked to the bootcamp on a different forum) But I never actually went through with the actual bootcamp program, just tried to apply its principles to my behavior.

So... yea... I'm with you on getting this bootcamp started. I'll post more relevant information on my situation in a bit.

Since i got bogged down on the last one due to work commitments i'll sign back up for this one. Day 1 starts tomorrow i hear?

Im down to join.

I started the summer camp, but I lost my motivation and became lazy and stopped participating.

BUT like I said before I must defat my fears. so as the old saying goes.


If at first you don't suceed, try try again!

I was just at a community type fair and there were so many hot girls there!

I was so scared to approach and I didnt approach any, eventhough I was getting good signals.

My friend who is pretty ugly I would say, but he has big balls, went up to 4 or 5 girls and started a conversation with them.

That's kind of similar to my motivation for starting bootcamp again. My friend who's always been terrible with girls has recently been REALLY attracting the ladies recently. The one thing that's different about him is that he has soaring confidence now.

Alright guys, it's monday the 18th. We now begin week 1 of bootcamp. Get out there and make eye contact with strangers, and say Hi. Here's some things that I have found from my past boot camp experience: if you get eye contact with them and say "Hi", almost 99% of the time they'll say Hi back. If you don't manage eye contact with them (because they won't meet your eyes) then say Hi anyway. Usually about 50% of the time you'll get a confused Hi back.

Good luck, and update often!

k so..

day 1... By all DJ standards, I did OK. By Bootcamp standards I did terrible.

I was pretty much tied up at work the entire day, went out to the gym afterwards and just got back home from that (11:45pm).

Didn't give any HIs to strangers except for people who walked into the office which doesn't really count, but I did make an effort to make eye contact with random people. I definetly need to pick up the pace, but **** it.. i'm sticking this thing through to the end. I need to get back in my game-state cause my results with girls lately has been pitiful.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I did pretty crappy today (I think you should get around 10 hi's a day for a good day), I did about 5 Hi's. 4 of these people returned these Hi's warmly. The last guy seemed kind of nervous and just couldn't utter Hi back lol. That's okay though, I'm not in this to see how many people respond to me.

I made a good effort to make eye contact with everyone who passed by me but I found that for the most part people avoid eye contact. It could have been my location though. I went and did the eye contact exercise at a grocery store, where everyone's in a rush and doesn't feel like making too much social contact. I tried the eye contact exercise at a park on a trail and got lots of friendly responses. Seems to me that location matters a big deal. I'll have to keep that in mind on my next outing.

Tomorrow I'm going to try harder and go for 10-15 hi's.

 

[Hit]

so, I just read the week one section of the boot camp again.. I feel like I am ready for it. I'll make an effort to stop by a mall tommorow after work to work on the eye contact, and perhaps say hello to a few good looking women. And yea, as noted by SirLancelot, location does play a huge role in your feed back to the eye contact and "hellos". Living in NYC if you say hello to just about anyone on the street, they will almost exclusively give you a nasty stare and walk along their way.. However if I go up to Pennsylvania or New Hampshire or something, people there are much more friendlier and receptive.. and I do often times find myself greeting people while walking down the street over there (i'm not there too often.. but.. the point is made.)

But -- going through Pooks post are great. They serve as great confidense boosters, and I remember the first time I initially read the bootcamp (how i first discovered this site) it gave me a tremendous boost in both confidence and my DJing ability, which was shortly after reduced by curcumstances which occured. Definetly need to stay on point this time around and follow through with the whole program.

day 2:

again, was busy as hell today with work. I stoped by the mall to pick something up for the office, and having pook's post fresh in mind (with me being the great catch/prince, etc...). I made an effort to engage in eye contact, and although I didn't just walk up to anybody and say "hi" while walking away, i engaged in a few brief conversations. In the merchandise pickup room, after engaging in eye contact with some woman waiting, she started up a conversation with me... usually something which doesn't happen all that often in these scenarios.

Other then that, definetly nothing special.. this was this hb8 in the gym that was exchanging glances with me during the workout, and on my way out i actually past by her going the other way.. i would have definetly went through with the week1 spirit and at the very least said "hi", but i only realized that i probably should by the time we walked past each other and it was too late...

so yeah, nothing spectacular, but a breif outline of the day in the spirit of bootcamp. Oh, and this HB9 (with DDs) that works at the office was wearing this SHORT little skirt.. i swear she was trying to show me those blue panties of hers the whole day:woo: .. damn my work ethics

Day 3

Come on guys, to participate you have to give updates! I thought there were more people than just me and Hit!

I've gotten 14 hi's the past two days. 5 yesterday, and 9 of them today. That brings my tally up to 19.

One of those hi's was actually a bit of a short conversation, but I'll just count it as a greeting. I walked past a guy who was walking his dog and I commented on how nicely behaved his pooch was =), it was way more tame than any other dog I'd ever seen. He told me a little bit about the dog, the convo didn't last more than 2 minutes.

I can never bring myself to say Hi to somebody who doesn't make eye contact with me. I missed out on at least 5-6 opportunities today because the people didn't make eye contact with me and saying Hi would have felt a little awkward.

You can still join right now, we're only 3 days into week 1. It wouldnt take much effort to catch up

 

[MacAvoy]

I am in, I read day 1's reading, I will start my hello's tomorow. WIll let you know how I fare. h

 

[Austizzle]

Alright boys I will post my results for you...starting with day 3

 

[Hit]

day 3:

pretty ****ty day over all and as far as bootcamp as well. Worked the whole day, got home, passed out for an hour, went to the gym, and here I am.

Only about 5 "hi's" the whole day, and a few more occurances of established eye contact. Definetly need to pick up the pace and more so keep bootcamp in mind throughout the whole day (because it does tend to slip out of my mind that I should be saying "hi" to random people)

 

[Hit]

day4:

Initiated contact and started a few convos with some girls at this class which I just started.. It's something I typically would not do, so definetly making moves. Went with one of the girls I just met out to get coffee during the break.. I could definetly polish up on my skills, but im making noteable improvements.

Otherwise, pretty good day. Nothing spectacular in terms of week1 bootcamp, but today definetly reassured me that eye contact DOES in fact play a tremendous role in the game... Met a new girl (friend of a friend) just now while having some beers on the beach, .. i kept the eye contact pretty solid and she was definetly asking some buying questions, but we had to cut it short. I didn't take her number down because a friend brought her there and i'm fairly certain hes trying to get ass from her.. but if i see her again i'll definetly make more progress.

Day 4:

Not a very productive day, bootcamp wise. I stayed home for the first half of the day, I was kind of tired.

Second half of the day I went and hung out with some friends and a few girls.

Tomorrow I really need to get out and get a lot of Hi's. We have 3 days left people, and then it's time for week 2!

"Hi" counter: 19 Hi's

 

[longwood]

All I have to do is say hi to strangers andthat's it. I''ll get 20+ tomorrow
