Social Pancake – Blooming for Success

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the Love Systems Superconference in Las Vegas. I actually won my silver level ticket, so I feel oblioged to write this review, and I was excited to go to my first ever pickup related conference.

How do you recognize an instructor?
-Wears True Religion jeans.
-Wears Retro or Affliction-alike (t)shirts.
-Looks a bit cooler than the average guy.

Favorite instructor quote:
“I have a radar for big titties, like women have a radar for social value. If a woman with big titties walks into the room, I immediatly know that. Just like women can sense high (social) value guys.” – Tenmagnet

Anyway, these are the programs I attended:
Inner Game (Sinn)
Opening Exercises (all instructors)
Strippers and Hired Guns (Sinn)
Frames and Roles (Sinn)
Being in State (Moxie)
Phone and Text Game (Tenmagnet, Salem)
How We Got Good (Panel)
Body Language Exercises (Cajun, Tenmagnet)
Dates (Salem, Brad P)
Threesomes (Savoy, Brad P, Prestige)
Improv & Conversation Skills (Badboy, Cortez)
Preventing Flaking (Tenmagnet)
Venue Filtering (Sinn, Savoy)
One Night Stands (Sinn)
Day Game (Sinn)
Online Game (Cajun, Tenmagnet)

All the info was very valuable and actually a steal for only $950; three days of info.
Inner Game (Sinn)
This was something Sinn has been talking about for a while on his blog, inner game. He talked about some new stuff that I haven’t heard before and I noticed that I kept writing notes. He went very deep into it and it was really good. It was definitly one of my favorite talks (by my favorite instructor). Grade: A+

Opening Exercises (all instructors)
I have opened several hundred sets but I knew I could also pickup something new that I didn’t know on opening. Turns out to be I did. The room was separated into several groups, each with an instructor. I had dahunter as my instructor and he showed how he opens (moving) sets. We all roleplayed and learned some new stuff, and I also liked the “how much fun are you having” opener dahunter showed us. I’ve used it a lot in vegas and it’s very cool :) I liked this program too just because these are exercises. You can cram everyone with a lot of theorie, but seeing everything in action and doing it yourself makes you learn this stuff much faster. Rokker came in and he just has this power presence, and he is good looking too. I liked his sense of style, and he talked abit about locking in. Grade: A+

Strippers and Hired Guns (Sinn)
I don’t go to strip clubs that much but I was very interested in the strategies for stripper game. Sinn did not disappoint us and he gave us a lot of information. It was a Q+A session but the info was very valuable. He gave a basic strategy on how to game the strippers, but for the details you had to go to the full seminar. I was more interested in the hired gun strategy and now I do have an idea how to run game on them. Just because this info is not really out there in the community yet, that makes this seminar more valuable than others. Grade: A

Frames and Roles (Sinn)
This was very advanced and Sinn talked about it as if it was the most common thing in the world. I think if he could provide more examples in conversation form (transscript) and layout what the frames were in there, it would have made everything much more clear. He also talked about his new thoughts on frames and microcalibration which I haven’t heard before. The roles were clear to me and Sinn talked about how you adjust your game to different types of girls, very valuable. When I left the room, I had the idea that I learned new stuff, but also that I could have grasped more if there were more examples of frames. Grade: B+

Being in State (Moxie)
Moxie has this cool vibe around him that makes him look fun. When he talks you just have to listen. His talk on being in state was something nothing new to me, but he nailed every point. He gave some tips on how to get in state and how not to break it. It was a good talk, but really nothing new. Grade: B

Phone and Text Game (Tenmagnet, Salem)
I was looking forward to this one as my phone game really sucks. Tenmagnet showed how he does phone game which is not very difficult to implement. His style is different from Sinn’s (he likes to build comfort a lot) because his phone game is more about having the girl around and letting her get used to talking to you on the phone. Tenmagnet and Salem gave some good thumbrules and gave some good examples of what to do, and what not to do. I was little bit disappointed that text game was hardly covered. I was actually hoping to see Braddock talk about it because I know he is the man for it. He did give some cool voicemail messages, but I missed the text game portion. Grade: B+

How We Got Good (Panel)
This hour was very inspiring for me, since I’m only few months into this whole pickup. I could relate to the instructors as they were telling us how they got started and how they struggled. Braddock was my favorite as he elaborated on his journey, and Tenmagnet shared some funny stories. Grade: A

Body Language Exercises (Cajun, Tenmagnet)
Having seen Cajun on Keys to the VIP with his awesome BL, I was hoping to learn some cool stuff on BL. He and Tenmagnet talked a lot on the importance of BL. The key was not to have bad body language and Rokker sometimes jumped in to elaborate. Then Tenmagnet said this:
“I have a radar for big titties, like women have a radar for social value. If a woman with big titties walks into the room, I immediatly know that. Just like women can sense high (social) value guys.” (something in that line)
That opened my eyes (and I hard to laugh very hard). I was disappointed that we didn’t do any exercises. I was hoping that they would get all the instructors and have groups work on their body language, like they did at the opening exercises. BL is something you have to see and do, but unfortunately we didn’t do that much. I hope next time they would focus more on the exercises than theory. Grade: B

Dates (Salem, Brad P)
The advice given was solid and some pointers were given by Brad P. The talk started to shift to social circle game (I didn’t mind) and Salem gave some good activities to do on dates. Also they gave some good info on how to close the deal at the end of the night. Overall, good advice. Grade: B+

Threesomes (Savoy, Brad P, Prestige)
This is totally new territory for me so I was excited to hear the panel talk on something I know nothing of. They gave a lot of info on how to get a threesome and they talked about it as if it was the most normal thing in the world. They gave the impression that it really isn’t that hard as it seems it is, so that was very inspiring. Savoy gave some good pointers everyone could use and Brad P showed his experience through funny stories. Grade: A

Improv & Conversation Skills (Badboy, Cortez)
The title is a bit misleading, because we ended up doing a lot practising of kino routines. Cortez started off talking about the direct game mindset and badboy gave some theory on it. Shortly after we did a lot of exercises with some really cool kino routines. This was definitly one of my favorite talks, since there were exercises and because the kino stuff was just sooooo money. Even though it was schedule for one hour, badboy didn’t care and kept on practising with us. He really loved his work and he showed that by helping us all out. He has a great sense of humor too! Love Systems should have added an hour purely on kino routines and how to escalate. It is something that has to be seen and not read. Grade: A+

Preventing Flaking (Tenmagnet)
Again Tenmagnet gave really good advice on flaking, which is currently my SP. He did rehearse some info on phone game and then continued on how to prevent those flakes. In case you do get a lot of flakes, it’s because of the damn Cosmo magazine! ;) I really thought I could solve my SP now with this info in mind. Good talk! Grade: A

Venue Filtering (Sinn, Savoy)
Always wondered why you were never attracted to the girls you met at the clubs? Well, then you chose the wrong venue! IF you’re looking for a specific type of girl, then you must of course go to the right venue. Simple, huh? Well I never actually looked at it that way and that really changed my view on certain things. They also talked about how to attract girl at places were you frequent already. The pointers given on types of venue were very good (like for SNL you need something that pumps state) and so on. Grade: A

One Night Stands (Sinn)
I was looking forward to this one, because I’ve been reading Sinn’s and CJ’s blog for a while now, and I’ve always wandered what strategies they used. Sinn gave a lot of free info on this were you can grasp the concepts of getting SNLs. He talked about his experiences and what the best strategies, venues and techniques are for SNL game. The psychology behind all this was also very interesting. Grade: A+

Day Game (Sinn)
I’ve been doing a lot of daygame lately, but still struggling. Again, Sinn gave a lot of good tips and he also talked about his style of phone game. Specific venues are better on certain days and he kept on providing solid info. Direct game has its place during the day and he also showed how he did moving sets (something I really like to pull of well consistently). Grade: A

Online Game (Cajun, Tenmagnet)
I’m not really a big fan of online game, but Cajun and Tenmagnet gave some good arguments on why you should experiment with it. The info was good and they shared some cool stories on how online gaming helped them survive and get laid. The tips given were useful and online gaming is something I definitly going to give a try now. Grade: B+

Overall, this was an awesome weekend. I learned so much and it was fun to see the instructors in real life. They were all very approachable and nice to the attendants outside of the talks. $950 is a lot of money, but this conference was definitly worth it. I had the chance to talk to Sinn for a bit and that guy is just a genius, packed with information, and was my favorite speaker. Braddock is also a very cool guy with a great sense of humor, and I liked dahunter’s style of game. If there is a superconference next year, you should definitly go. It will boost your game!

Reviews

As you guys might know I was in Las Vegas last week for the Love Systems SuperConference (review of that is coming up). The conference would start on Friday but I arrived early on Thursday. I would share a room with someone I met through the forum and we met up around midnight of thursday. That’s where everything happened!

========================================
Thursday night

We are at the hotel bar talking about game and how we got into it. You know, normal talk when you meet another PUA. After like 45 min of talking a 1-set walks by and I tell him to open her with “who lies more”. Yeah I know lame, but we did it just for fun to see if we would get caught but we didn’t. She has strong eye contact with him and decides to sit down next to him. I observe and see that my buddy has pretty good attraction game. They talk for 15 min before her friend, Hb8.5 around age 25-27, walks in. I interrupt and open her.

Here is when the fun started. I start running my new routine stack and start grounding. She is totally into it and really starts asking intelligent questions.

SS: So what did the five-year-old Hb8.5 want to be?
HB: [something]
[HB gets called and picks up her phone]
[I grab my phone and start calling a friend]
HB: Sorry about that, where were we again? [IOI]

At this point, I look deep in her eyes and she screams SEX. I think it’s on. I run a sexual frame and start SOI-ing her. She then starts the action…
HB: What are you doing later?
SS: I’ll prolly have some after party with friends in my room, you?
HB: Sounds like fun. Why don’t we go to your room.
SS: Yeah lets do it.

At this point, I’m thinking I’m gonna get laid with the best logistics ever! My room is just few minutes away and the condoms are in my suitcase. Woohoo!

My buddy brings his girl with him and we get to my room. I have two separate beds and they each lay on a bed. HB8.5 lays in my bed looking all seductively at me. I’m thinking, “I’m gonna fuck your brains out baby,”

HB: You guys wanna have fun right?
SS: Hell yeah [start laying next to her]

Then she drops the magic line:

HB: That’s gonna cost you…

WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! It turns out they were hookers! Damn fine hookers though! Me and my buddy look each other like “WTF just happened?” We both thought we had the best pickup in our life so far and that it was going to happen. Never in my mind crossed that they were hookers, it just seemed to weird. She walked by, we opened her and started talking normal. WTF?!

Anyway, end of story. I did not end up with her because I’m not going to pay for sex. DAMN, how lame form of LMR is that….

========================================
Friday night

So the next night me and my buddy went out again. We went shopping first and started doing some daygame at the area around Caesar. I opened a lot of moving sets and succeeded at stopping most of them. I thought #closing was useless since I’m only there for a few days, but I should have done it anyway. Always close your sets SirSlick!!!

Everything in Vegas is 21+ and since I’m 20 I didn’t have that many opportunities at night. So I had to create them by sneaking into bars and that worked. I sneaked into 3 different bars so that was good. Nothing memorable happened, just some merging sets and lot of roleplaying.

So we head back to the hotel bar and shoot the shit again. We see the hookers again but we don’t do anything with them. It’s 3AM and the conference would start around 12 so I decided to go to bed. My buddy wanted to stay to sarge just a few more sets. I sleep and then he comes into my room around 7AM, but with a girl! They are both drunk and he tells me he’s gonna pull and that I should lay quiet.

[he turns off the light]
HB: There is no one here right?
PUA: Nope [he cavemans her onto bed]
[making out]
HB: Wait hold on, I need to call someone. [starts calling]
HB: Hey baby, I just wanted to tell you that I miss you and that I really love you. I love you more….
[making out again]

This was all happening while I was laying under the sheets in my bed, right next to them. It was like a porn movie from close. He starts to undress her and then she heads to the bathroom. Then she started puking all over the bathroom floor and I can smell it… It was disgusting and we both didn’t take a shower the next morning. Really, if you looked at the floor you couldn’t tell if it was puke or shit. Yeah, ugh…. Next morning I just had to laugh about it, now I have some cool stories to share and I still have a few more nights to go!

========================================
Saturday & Sunday night

Badboy of direct game did a seminar today where he did a lot of kino routines. I love them all. The first night we went out with a bigger group to some bars and we were all in state. It was awesome and I think some guys might have pulled. Me of course, NOT, only thing I had was a k-close. But it was a new record k-close though! Badboy showed his money k-close routine where you can kiss the girl from opening till kiss within 10 seconds.

I witnessed that routine that night and I said to myself I’m going to do that too the next night. So on sunday night I pulled it off in like 6 seconds. New record! Also this was the first time I went solo because the conference was over and most people left already. I sarged for like an hour and ABS (Always Be in Set). Pretty scary though, sarging alone, but I did it. Loved it.

So that wraps up my Vegas weekend. The Superconference was awesome and my brain is still processing all that information. I might post my notes later online. I met my hero Sinn and talked to him a lot too, that guy is just a genius. Anyway, Vegas was fun! Can’t wait till I turn 21 and sarge all those pussycat doll dealers and shooter girls! :)

Oh man, last night was awesome! Magic Nuggets and a big group of the Casanova Crew were at the same venue. Me, D, Maui, Rince and waffleboi9 got together before we headed to the club to discuss what our objectives were for the night. For me it was more kino and practise my new stack. I think this one of my best nights so far, I closed every set that I wanted to close and they were all hotties.

We come in and I open this 2-set, with HbRedDress being my target and I used the drug dealer opener. It hooked and then I start to run my new stack and it’s on. I didn’t kino that much at the beginning, I prefered to lockin over kino, so some of my buddies would come in and say: “Hey, have you seen kino?” Meaning I should kino more :) I leave the set on a high note to reopen them later.

Then Maui opens this 4-set where he introduced me. I see he wants to isolate his target, HbRack, and I come in to wing. Then I see that in the set there is this beauty blonde, HbBlonde, and I would make her my target while at the same time winging Maui. I showed her how to dance salsa and then after a few spins locked her in and I do the “tv watching” routine. I made sure the others were involved so we played the director game and a lot of role playing. So at this point I wanted to close HbRedDress and HbBlonde.

I later see HbRedDress again with her friend and they are surrounded by chodes trying to pick them up AFC style. I see she is uncomfortable so I run in.
SS: Omg babe, I have been looking for you everywhere! Where have you been hiding?
HBRD: Hey, there you are!
SS: I love this song, lets go dance!
Chode1: Hey man how’s life.
HBRD: Yeah lets go.
SS: SKO! [grabbing her hand and her friend's hand]

The chodes put their arms around the girls while I’m dragging HbRedDress and her friend away. Since we were on the patio with a big group, out of nowhere I scream “AMOG now!” and D starts to amog the guys and he blows them away. We danced for a bit and then headed back out on the patio. Now I started introducing her to everyone I knew of Magic Nuggets and Casanova, which gave me massive social proof. It was very cool and once a while a Casanova guy would come in my set, DHV me real quick and leave again. It looked like I was a celebrity or something!

HBRD: Wow, you know everyone don’t you?
SS: Nah, [qualifying her]
At this time I tell D to take care of the obstacle so I can isolate with HbRedDress. I run CJ’s strawberry fields and she is falling for it. I run a new comfort story with state breaks and we emotionally connect. D starts to come in again real quick.

D: Are you hitting on my friend?
HBRD: Yeah, can’t you see? He is so cute and has beautiful eyes. I like him.

For those who don’t know what this is, IOIs.

I then tell her that I want to see her again, instead of making out with her.

SS: I think you are very interesting and sexy, I want to get to know you better. Like I know you’re very independent and intelligent and I want to see the real you outside of this environment. We’ll go get Pho or whatever sometime and see what you are really about.
HBRD: Yeah, I want to know you better too outside of these drunk people! Haha
SS: Let me grab your number. [hand her my phone]
SS: [while she is punching her number] So talk to me, why am I so drawn to you? You have to rationalize this for me.
HBRD: ….. [can't remember]
SS: Oh man we’re going to deep here. What voodoo love spells are you using on me! [state break]
SS: [new comfort story]

The state breaks are essential when you hit deep comfort, something I learned from El Topo. When you get to deep in comfort with a girl, she will start to see red flags. She will start to think “I just met this amazing guy and I’m so attracted to him, but I don’t know why” and she will try to pull herself out of it. That’s why you need those state breaks to get her out of that state and then you pull her back in by continuing your comfort story or start a new comfort story. YOU must be the one doing it for her and that way she’ll become more compliant and you can run more comfort.

Then she starts to ask me how old I am and I she just told me she is 24 (I’m 20 btw). I wasn’t sure if I would tell her I’m 20 that she might be turned off so I reframed it.
HBRD: How old are you?
SS: Guess.
HBRD: 22?
SS: Did you know that tipping in Iceland is considered an insult? Isn’t that weird? [new dhv story]

One of the reasons that I didn’t makeout with her was because I really want to date her. Makeouts are nice, but I didn’t want to be that ‘makeout club guy’ that I was lately so instead I tried to build some tension. I did the eskimo goodbye routine, where you both your noses touch each other and wiggle, it’s like you’re almost kissing each other.

Then I see HbBlonde again and I start sensually dancing with her. Her BT goes up and then I #close her. I don’t know what to think about this number. There is definitly attraction and I qualified her a bit, but not enough. Also I didn’t run any comfort stories on her so I don’t know what her investment is. I texted her later that night and she replied, so we’ll see how it goes from there. But she is definitly a beauty and fun.

Me, Jackett and Muse are inside shooting the shit and then I see this black girl in a white dress. “Hey guys, direct time!”

SS: OMG
SS: You’re so fucking adorable.
HbBlack: Awww, you’re cute too [hug]

She is immediatly all over me and I almost start to think, “this is too easy!” I saw APB on mehow insider where he talked about interracial dating and how you would have to run game. With that in my mind, I wanted to try that, so I try to find many commonalitites.

SS: Are you Ethiopian by any chance?
HbBlack: Yeah I am, my parents are from there but I was born here though.
SS: Oh awesome, like I don’t know what it is with Ethiopian girls but somehow they’re all beutiful and always are the hottest girls at the Miss Universe contest.
HbBlack: I know! Hahaha

This was kind of a speed dial since her friends were leaving and I #closed her while I was watching tv with her. I texted her later that night some stuff in French, she speaks and writes it fluently, and she replied. Hmmm, interesting. Lets see how I far I can go with this girl.

Mantis, that mofo always closes on the dancefloor! Haha he was with this german group of girls and I started talking to one of them, HbGerman, and I found out where she lived and I told her how much I loved her city in Germany. She is amazed about how much I know about Germany, her city and traveling in general so I start teasing her to BT spike that shit out of her. Too bad she was leaving pretty soon, so I had to settle down with an e-mail close. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with her.

Overall, I had an awesome night. I finally met some of the guys of Casanova in person that I only knew from the forums. It’s nice to see who those geeks are irl :) It was also cool to see the guys again I haven’t seen in a while and how they progressed. Keep up the sarging guys!
I normally close girls that I don’t want to pursue or whatever, but last night I closed every set that I was interested in. I’m not saying I’m that good that I can get picky, but it sure does give you a good feeling, it’s like you have this super power. I really love my stories that ET crafted for me, it’s mesmerizing. They are congruent and I don’t feel like I’m gaming at all. the fact that a bunch of Casanova Crew were there definitly helped when we merged sets and DHVing myself. See you guys next time in field. It was a good night.

So Magic Nuggets went out again last night with me, D and Maui. Jackett of Casanova OC drove to my place and joined us that night. We went to club X where the stage dancers are TENs. Anyway, last night was the first time I went direct the whole night and kino-ed like it was a disease. I also had my fastest k-close.

So I saw Asian Playboy (APB) in Mehow’s February Infied stuff where he most of the time went direct and did some dance floor game. Since club X is always very loud, going indirect hasn’t been working for me there, except on the patio. Everyone is high energy and feels elite, so going in indirect blows you out a lot. I decided to go direct with the same opener: “OMG…….You’re so fucking adorable” I don’t know what it is with the word ‘adorable’; girls somehow really love that word and it always gives a good response, like when you say “You’re so adorable…..I’m gonna adopt you as my little sister….” and they always go “AAwwwwww” Saying “you are fucking hot” doesn’t work….

The importance of the opener is that you kino first (they usually face you then) and then deliver the line. I first started out with a longer version, J The Ripper alike.

SS: [put hand on shoulder] OMG
SS: I have only one thing to say to you
SS: You’re fucking adorable!
HB: Awwww thank you.

But I noticed it usually didn’t hit that well so I left out the second line after a few sets. MUCH BETTER! No one was safe from me approaching sets. I think approached over 30 sets that night and of course getting blown a few times, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it could have been. A lot of times it hooked and then I started kino-ing like a wildman.

After I delivered the opener, I strecht my arm as if I’m introducing myself. She shakes my hand and then I spin her 180 degrees so her back touches my chest and I lock her in with my arms. Then I run the “TV watching” routine.

[HB is locked in]
SS: So imagine we’ve been dating for 6 months now. We had our ups and downs and now we are sitting on the couch at my place just chilling. What TV show are we watching?
HB: ….
SS: Cool and what are we eating and drinking?
HB: ….
SS: Do you remember our first date?
HB: Yeah…..
SS: Yeah I took you to the best restaurant in town……McDonalds….with front row seats and you could order anything of the dollar menu. That was awesome and the sex later that night was awesome.
HB: [9/10 laughs]
SS: [start new threads]
SS: Ok show is over [push HB off HARD]

Now I did this same thing on the patio once I saw this girl, HB8.5, was left out of this mixed set. I go up to her and deliver the goods. But after the opener I cavemanned her, I picked her up and spinned her like 4 times around. She was wearing a miniskirt and when I spinned her around I think the whole patio could see her thong :-) I put her on the ground and go for the kiss, this all happened within 2 minutes. Then I lock her in and do the TV watching routine. I push her off and then she gave me “THE LOOK”: “WTF?!” I should have reopened her but I didn’t. SNAP! Anyway, NEXT!

Most of my sets were like that, after the push I would open another set. I’ve seen Matador do the push-off but then he slides his arm down her arm and reels her back in (literally push-pull :P). I need to do that next time and practise that!

My boy Jackett went direct for the first time! It wasn’t as bad he thought as would have been and one girl actually liked that he went direct on her, but unfortunately he ejected. I just approached anyone I wanted to approach. NOTE: This opener does NOT work on < HB7.

The last 30min me and Jackett went suicide with the apocalypse and "are you into threesomes/foursomes/fivesomes?". Every set that was about to leave or walked around the lobby got approached. Everyone denied, BUT ONE DAY someone will say yes. Until that day, I'm just gonna work on my game and improve my odds.

Highlights
55+ year-old MILF bought me a free drink.
Met Savanna Gold (pr0nstar) outside the club and took pictures. Damn she had floatables, insane.
Got freaked on the dancefloor by UGs. Why do the fatties always love me? :(

The last couple of weeks I’ve been hitting the clubs a lot and my approach anxiety at night is almost destroyed. Yesterday me, Rince and D decided to do some day game in Old Town Pasadena. We have been doing some day game, but mostly at the malls. This time we wanted to do more day game on the crowded streets. Man, it’s so much different doing pickup on streets. I feel comfortable opening in stores, but on the streets when people are walking towards their destination, somehow I still have AA doing that. Also we came up with some theories that we need to field test (FT) in order to do some effective street game.

So we get in Old Town, get some quick bite and start off at the bookstore. No sets to find so go into a popular clothing store. We wander around a bit looking for sets and then I tell D to open this 1-set. He #closes and then Rince comes in “DHVing” him by saying something like:

Rince: Hey D is really a cool dude, but you know he wears women underwear….

HAHA :)
She got the joke and they continued talking. Then I see this 2-set and I open with the “need to buy something for my niece” opener. It doesn’t really hook but I don’t plow so I lose the set. Rince tries to regain the set but it goes nowhere. Out of nowhere my mind went blank, DAMN! Oh well, we went to another store all female clothing store. I see a 2-set, thinking they are FOBs but turned out not to be (DAMN! ;P), with the same opener. It hooks but again I don’t plow so she loses interest while Rince is talking to her friend. I leave the set and Rince wants to reopen, but I felt really uncomfortable doing that.

Rince: Hey [girlname], my friend just wanted to talk to you and you blew him off. [pushes me towards her]
SS: Yeah…… [starting to feel weird]
Hb7: Ohh….I’m so sorry
Rince: He just wanted to get to know you better.
SS: I love you Rince

Out of nowhere I say stupid things! Haha, I don’t know what it was but I felt weird doing that reopening. It has to do with me caring too much of what she thinks. I need to get rid of the belief; I DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK.

In another store I really start to get my wheels spinning. I open this 2-set with a V-day opener D just came up with and it hooks really well. In the back of my mind I have my REDstack ready to fire that El Topo made for me a few days earlier, but I decided to keep it all natural. I wouldn’t say it was a big mistake, because I want to become 50% natural and 50% stack and my natural skills are sucky, but the conversation went towards fluffing.

Then I open this 1-set and YES it’s a FOB from Japan (for those who don’t know, I used to hate FOBs because they were hard to game but now I love them since my closing results with them are getting higher). Since my knowledge on Japanese culture is pretty big I can really connect with her. Then I find out she’s here only for the holidays so #closing was no use.

FIELD TESTING
I can’t remember much of that day anymore. What I do know is that we have to field test some more theories that we came up. On the streets you have a lot of moving sets, going in the same direction or walking in the opposite direction.

When sets are moving in the opposite direction, if you want to stop them you have to kino and stand in front of them. If you just verbally want to stop them and you stand on a 45 degree angle from her, most of the time the sets won’t stop. It could also be that our opener maybe wasn’t that good and it sounded more like a pickup line. Next time we do more street game we all have to FT that stuff.

As for sets moving in the same direction, we actually didn’t do them that day. But iirc you walk a little faster than them and then open over the shoulder.

I actually like seated sets for day game. For guys who rely on a bit on their stack, you can pretty much run it on seated sets. Just FTC when you sit down and start stacking. But somehow I have the feeling that it doesn’t work so well for moving sets, but maybe it’s the material and the fact you just stand still and might have to stand for another XX minutes. Like I said, gotta field test this shit!

Oh btw, we are planning to film our day game sarges soon and show you new material. It’s going to be cool!

On Chinese new year I’ve decided to go out and practise my social skills with women. Together with Rince and D we decided to do some daygame and later that night to go to a club, so we would spend most of the day talking to strangers and getting more comfortable with the people of the opposite sex. This FR is only on daygame. The second part is on the clubgame which is released later.

The three of us decide to go to a mall in Hollywood and work on our daygame. All of us have limited experience with daygame. In fact, two days earlier I did some daygame with Rince and suddenly I had approach anxiety (AA) again. I haven’t experienced that in a while because every time I go out to the clubs my AA is gone. So by doing more daygame I want to completely get rid of AA so next time I see an attractive person I can always approach, which is now not the case during the day.

We get to the mall and the first impression is that the mall is empty. We got there around 3 but luckily the mall is pretty big so we walk around to look for sets. We get at a department store and D starts talking about how Style always closes at the makeup department, because the makeup artists there never get men to get their makeup done. So we deliberate who is going to take one for the team and D decides do it. We go to look for a hot makeup artist, HbEngland, and D starts running the train. But then HbEngland starts to call someone else to do his makeup and D freaks out, he wants HbEngland to do it, not some UG. Luckily for him this thick and cute blackgirl comes by and does it for him. Long story short, he #closed the hired gun after she gave him obvious IOIs and I pushed him to close.

While D was getting his makeup done, Rince and I wanted to open some sets in the store. Once again, AA kicks in because I’m not comfortable yet opening sets during the day. Rince, also severing from AA during the day, eventually opened this 2-set but it was just a throw-away set.

We get into a clothing store and see no one but one girl, so we leave the store. But then I think, “Fuck it, I need to open that girl no matter what.”

SS: Okay missy, I need your honest opinion on this. Which dress do you think looks better, this or this one?
HbTanktop: I would say that one.
SS: Oh so you say this one looks better on me, thanks! [credit Deelucks]
HbTanktop: Haha you’re funny.
SS: I need to buy something for my niece, she is turning 18 next week so I’m gonna make you my shopping buddy for the next 5 minutes.
HbTanktop: Haha ok, what is her style?

From there on we have a mini instant date within the store, but then I wanted to drag her out of the store and shop with me. But she refused so I just left. Note, I really don’t have a niece :) I think there wasn’t any rapport because we just talked about my niece’s ‘gift’ so getting her to shop with me was too much.

Next we get at a perfume store so I ask the hired gun (HG) what the bestselling men’s cologne is. I get some samples and banter with HG. I still need to figure out how to get the HG out of her ’selling’ frame because all those IOIs are fake of course. Anyway, I get the samples and from there on I use the tried-n-tested cologne opener for moving sets.

I see this 1-set and grab her attention.
SS: Hey you, yeah you. You seem like you have a good sense of smell. Which one of these do you think smells the best?
HbTaiwan: This one [lacoste green]
SS: Wait a minute, let me guess where you are from…..Africa!
HbTaiwan: Haha no, I’m from Taiwan.
SS: Oh that’s awesome. I’ve been to Taipei for a day on my way to Vietnam. My flight got delayed so I spent a day in Taipei. The people there are really friendly. Are you friendly?
HbTaiwan: Yes yes!
SS: Cool, I only hang out with friendly people. I have a friend from Taiwan and we always go eat Taiwanese steak. Can you cook that?
HbTaiwan: Yes, I eat that sometimes.
SS: Awesome, maybe if you’re lucky sometime you’re gonna cook that for me.
HbTaiwan: [giggles] How old are you?
SS: Guess….
HbTaiwan: 25 [WTF, I never heard that before. I normally get 18 or smth, I'm 20 btw]
SS: Haha no, but nice guess. So you must be 23.
HbTaiwan: Haha nooooooooo, I like you, hahaha.
SS: I like you too. You know what, since we both like taiwanese steak, we’re gonna have some lunch sometime. Here [hand my phone] punch in your number.
[while she punches her number]
SS: So next time I call you, you must answer like this: “Hey SirSlick, you are the coolest guy I’ve met!” [credit Brad P]
HbTaiwan: Hahaha, maybe maybe.
SS: No no, lets practise.
[she complies]

I ask her when she came to the US and what she studies. I then run finger length routine and hug her goodbye. I walk out of the store and I see D #close this other asian girl. It turns out to be HbTaiwanese’s friend and we shoot the shit for a bit. Then HbTaiwan comes back and sees us. Uh oh…..we talk for a bit and everything seems to be okay.

Then I see this incredibly beautiful Japanese girl standing by herself against the wall, I think waiting for her friend. So I come in with Brad P’s horse opener.

SS: [horse opener]
HbJap: [giggles]
SS: Wait a sec, are you from Japan?
HbJap: Yes!
SS: Awesome, I love Japan. I have a lot of japanese friends and I would like to go there some time. I have friends from Tokyo and Okinawa.
HbJap: Ah ah [nodding]
SS: You’re so adorable, I’m going to adopt you as my little sister. We’re going to climb trees and drink Kool Aid [credit Cajun]
HbJap: [giggles] You are funny.
SS: Oooooohhh I love japanese food. Shabu shabu is one of my favorites.
HbJap: Ooooohhh, you like shabu shabu?
SS: Absofreakinlutely!
HbJap: [giggles] I like that too.
SS: Awesome, you should cook it for me sometime then! But sushi is also one of my favorite foods all time.
HbJap: Haha everyone loves sushi.
SS: Yeah true, but can you cook it?
HbJap: [giggles] I can try…….
SS: Good enough for me. Btw, you seem like a really fashionable person.
HbJap: Yes, I like fashion a lot. I shop a lot with my friends.
SS: Let me see….[I check her out] Hm… okay you passed. [pound]
HbJap: [giggles]

I find some more commonalitites and tell I her I will take her to the best shabu shabu place. I go in for the #close

SS: Since we both like shabu shabu so much I’m going to take you out some time.
HbJap: Okay!
SS: Here, let me get your number. [hand her my phone]
HbJap: But I have a boyfriend.
SS: That’s alright, I’m still gonna take you out and he doesn’t need to know [smiling]
HbJap: Okay [punches in her number]

Her friends comes in and I try to befriend her. We talk maybe for one minute and then they leave.

These were the highlights of my daygame. I opened some more sets but I didn’t get anywhere I guess. I’m starting to like daygame a lot more now, because it’s still relatively new to me and I know I have soooo much to improve. It’s like when you first start going out at night again…. Most of the kino is really a handshake, pound and touch on the arm/shoulder. No spinning during the day :( I still agree that you can pickup better and higher quality girls during the day. Also, I read a lot that daygame is easier than clubgame. I think I’m starting to see that. I mean, you don’t have to deal with many distractions, amogs, cockblocks (many girls shop alone) and lower bitch shield. At night girls are expected to be approached, but the during the day not really.

FEEDBACK IS WELCOME!

Next time I want to try to get an instant date!

Magic Nuggets
Maui
Streetwisekeen
D
Rince
SirSlick

So MN was out again in Hollywood. We head up at the club to get in line and we find out that D was in the movie Transformers and actually saw Megan Fox. But he hasn’t seen the movie where he is featured! So Streetwisekeen uses that as an opener in line. For the rest of the night, I would AI (accomplishment intro) D as the Transformer guy. But… did I miss out on a SNL is the big question!

I open a 2set with “cool side” opener and it hooks, lockin with a handshake-spin and start qualifying, all within 15 sec. Then she started qualifying when I asked her, “so who are you?” and I knew it was on. Rince comes in to wing me and talks to the obstacle. He immediatly knows which girl the obstacle is, because he knows I love asians and the obstacle was white ;P Again I didn’t kino that much, except for the cities handshake routine, so I knew I hard to escalate a bit. I wanted to the tv-watching routine (you spin her 180 with both of your arms, then have your arms locked in and pretend you guys are watching tv and multi-thread…) but then the obstacle took my target away. Later on I see them again with 2 guys and I think they’re not with them so I come to blow the guys out.

I walk towards them but I immediatly showed to much interest in my target, it was sooooo obvious. I should have come in with an IOD like “oh no, it’s me favorite dork…[stack]” I start to exclude the guys from the set with my BL but then I find out they drove together with the girls, so from that point on I was in damage control. I lost it from then on and my target wasn’t interested anymore. Too bad, she was really cool….NEXT!

Rince and I tried some dancefloor game, but that night was aweful. No one wanted to be dancing with the coolest guys in the clubs…So then I point to a seated 2set and Rince opens. The obstacle is not engaged in the set so I come in and start winging. Rince, I swear to god that she was SUPER boring. I did some qualifications and she did not even met the easiest criteria. Anyway, kept on rolling and making sure Rince had his time. Then out of nowhere I come up with a brilliant idea! I’m gonna get an instant-wing for Rince that can occupy the obstacle and that way I can sarge :P

SS: Ok [obstacle's name], what is your ideal type of guy?
Obs: Hmmmm, mexican, not preppy a bit edgy and tall.
SS: Cool, I’m gonna get you some ass tonight. Lets see what we have here….. [looking around]
Obs: Haha noooo, don’t do that.

She keeps refusing but eventually I get up and find some random chode that meets her criteria. I see that she now wants to go with Rince’s target, but I come back with the chode and she likes him. But by then they wanted to leave and I find out Rince #closed his target.

The last set was the best set. I see D and Maui in a 3set and I thought I should maybe come in and get a girl. But then I see a Japanese girl sitting alone so I go direct.

SS: Hey, I came here to flirt with you.
HbJap: Oh…..[dumbfounded]
SS: You seem like a cool girl so I had to come over and flirt.
HbJap: Haha ok, what’s your name?
[name, finger length routine, 2 dhv stories, qualifying]

She meets all my qualifications and then I SOI her couple of times. I did follow the whole bait-hook-reel-release model but I didn’t release that much, because releasing too much would look weird and she’ll notice a pattern. So that was well done I might say *pitty pat*. Then I went in for the kiss with the “how good of a kisser are you on a scale of 1-10?” I really didn’t have to use it, she already had that DDB look but it somehow went automatic. Then I find out that she had a tongue ring and that made the kissing even hotter! I cycle qualification and comfort and we talked for like 35+ min I think with a makeout every few minutes. Lately I really like to suck the girls’ neck and so I do that with her too. She moans and I go from neck to mouth. I forgot to do the hairpulling! Awww…. I really like to do that too.

I was getting thirsty so I said I’m gonna get some water and I lead her to the bar. She bends over at the bar to get the bartender’s attention, then I start to dry-fuck her from behind and she likes it. Then I whisper in her ear and start dirty talking.

SS: If these people weren’t here I would fuck you so hard from behind. [breathing heavy]
HbJap: [looks horny]
SS: I would rip off all your clothes and suck your pussy till you would cum.
She turns around and we makeout :P

She came with 2 friends M/F and she wasn’t driving. But then I was carpooling with the other guys so an SNL wasn’t possible. She asked me twice “what time are you leaving?” I don’t know how to interpret this, so at the time I just said “2″. Was she hinting for SNL? No idea….

What I also notice is that her ‘mood’ was changing when her friends were in sight. Everytime they could see her, she could not makeout with me and other kino stuff. I noticed early on so everytime I saw her friends I made sure I just kept building comfort. When they were gone, MAKEOUT! Thanks to the talk on female psychology by Savoy few days earlier that made me realize some important stuff on the “why” that is.

I hinted that I would take her out some time so I’ll see what will happen with her. The story shall continue…. Oh why I love japanese girls? I don’t know…my last 5 dates were with japanese girls and I just realized that :)

Woohoooo! Magic Nuggets was out terrorizing Hollywood again last night. This time me, D, Streetwisekeen and Rince were out. Before we met up at the club, Rince and I went to a Socal Lair talk with Savoy on female psychology. That was very interesting! After the talk, we headed to the club. I got 2 numbers and SOI-ed like a wildman.

We usually go to a karaoke bar to get in state and by the time we’re at the club there is no such thing as a warm-up set. But last night I had a problem getting in state, so I started rough. I walk in and I see a seated 1-set.

SS: Hey quick question, how do you get out of the friendzone?
HB: ….
SS: I gotta get back to my buddies in a sec [as I'm sitting down], but one of friends….[root opener]

It’s important that you open over the shoulder and FTC as you sit down for seated sets. Textbook game! :)

I still wasn’t warmed up so I open some more sets. Then I winged Rince on a seated 2-set, and start talking to the obstacle. We both weren’t locked in so I wanted to lockin.

SS: Do you believe in magic?
Obs: Yeah, I love magic.
SS: Cool, I’ll show you a cool trick. Go like this [gives me her hands], stand up and do this [weird movements with my arms]
SS: [sit down] OOOOH! That was the steal-the-seat trick Houdini taught me! [obs scrunches in] I gotta get going in a sec, [qualifying]

I was going nowhere in that set and I wasn’t sure if Rince was going somewhere with the target. So I just shoot the shit with the girls and genuinely have a good conversation. Then their 2 friends come in, one b-day girl and HbNiceTitties who became Rince’s new target. D enters the set and starts talking to the b-day girl, I engage the seated 2-set so Rince could work his magic on HbNiceTitties. After a while they leave for dancing and I see a 3-set far across and tell Rince to open it.

Rince opens and I come in as his boyfriend (Jeffy style). I ask him which is the bad girl of the group (meaning who is the target) so now I work on the obstacles. I really like Rince’s target lookswise (I don’t know what it is, she just has something special) but one of the obstacles is pretty cool though so I just wing. Rince is getting nowhere with his target, she is giving IOIs, but is very hard to crack. I have fun with the obstacles, doing some future projections and mehow’s drawing-letter-in-air routine.

SS: Since you’re the good one of the group,…[PVC devil-angel routine]
HbCool: Are you picking us up?
SS: You know what’s interesting, tipping in Iceland is considered an insult. Isn’t that funny? So last summer…[dhv story]
SS: So how do you guys know each other?
HbCool: We’re all best friends and go to the same school.
SS: Oh awesome, you guys could totally be psychic together. I read this cool experiment in some psychology magazine and we should totally do it. Oh before I do that, what school do you go to?
HbCool: [name school]
SS: OMG [body rocking] So do I! If you guys see me on campus, don’t say ‘Hi’ because I only go out with cool people!
Obstacle: You’re so mean [punch me]
SS: Hands off the merchandise baby!
Set: [laughs]
SS: Ok lets see if you guys are psychic. Go like this [I hold both of their hands] and now you guys have to hold hands so we create this flow. Good girls, I’m feeling something…. OMG I getting all those dirrrty thoughts [release hands]
Set: [laughs]
SS: Stop thinking dirrrty, you can do that later! Ok lets see….

Then you continue the routine, including the push/pull etc. For those who don’t know this kino routine, here’s a vid of mehow doing it.

Then I start qualifying both of them and I hint Rince to #close his target. Then I #close HbCool so we can go shopping together. As I call her cell, I pretend that I’m talking to a friend on the phone.

SS: Hey dude, I just met this awesome girl. Her name is HbCool and

I opened some more sets inside with the loud music but that was going nowhere when I opened this 9-set. It’s hard to open big sets in loud environment because it’s hard to engage the whole set. That’s why one of the girls can easily say “lets dance” and BOOM, gone set. I need to find a solution for that.

Then the last 2-set was a good one too and funny! I come in:
SS: Is this the cool side? [high energy]
Set: Hell yeah
SS: Cool! Because I just came from the super cool side!
Set: [laughs]
SS: You see these girls there? They told me to pick you guys up. How am I doing so far?
HbCute: You’re doing great! I like this guy [to sister]
I do some future projections, multi-thread and again run drawing-letters routine. They loved it and then Rince comes in a SUPER cool way. He spreads his arms as if he is flying and comes in like that

Rince: Hey guys, I’m the wingman!

HAHAHA! He takes the obstacle and now I’m isolated with HbCute. I do some qualifying and we hit comfort. I #close and SOI her like crazy, she likes it. Then I wanted to kiss her but her sister came in and dragged her away to meet my friends. DAMN! That’s what you get when you roll with cool guys ;P

Overall highlights. I started multi-threading which I’m working on. Now that I have more material internalized it becomes easier and that way I can direct the interaction. Frame control is still a SP but I’m working on it. I merged some sets so I could get an instant-wing. I didn’t have the idea of running out of things to say, which is an improvement! It means that I’m in state and can talk about anything I want.
