Hey all, this is my second field report, and I've got to say, I've never learned so much before in 1 night, I'll try to keep this one short and if you really can't be bothered for the field report you can skip to the lessons I learned, maybe it'll help you out too!
---------------------------------------------------------------
My field report:
I wasn't even planning on working on my game tonight, so I started doing drinking games with my mates and came to the club drunk (It was weird, I was drunk, because I was forgetting stuff from short-term memory, but I didn't FEEL drunk, nor did I look drunk. Still, not a good idea, do read on as to why.
We entered the club and we came waaay too early, the dance floor was empty, and there were people on the sides of the room. After reading a field report from Ezo
leader-of-men-behaviour-vt56872.html I thought I'd give his advice a try (which was to just go on the dance floor and be the leader of men).
I started dancing alone, everyone was watching and my AFC friends were laughing, I gestured to people to come to the dance floor, but no one did, until after a while this HB8 came and started dancing with me. I eagerly took the bait, put my hands on her hips and started dancing with her all close and stuff for everyone to see. After this people just started coming up one at a time. At this time my AFC friend was the biggest cockblocker I've ever experienced, while I was dancing with this girl he started grinding up to her from behind (WTF!?), anyway, she was still attracted to me and asked me if I wanted to go for a smoke so we could ditch this a-hole. She pulled her friend with her (HB4) and we all went for a smoke and I started asking stupid questions like: Do you come here often? (This is the first reason why you shouldn't be drunk when sarging), moving on, I started to qualify her:
me: "So, I know you've got guts, because you started dancing with me while no one else dared to, but what else do you have going for you besides your looks."
her (I forgot what she said, because of drunkness, but it went something like this): "Well, not much, I'm arrogant, I'm stupid, etc" (All negative stuff)
me (This took me by surprise so I didn't know what to do): "oh... haha! *laugh*"
*** WHAT I SHOULD'VE DONE: Ignore and ask her friend: "So you haven't spoken all night, what's your story?" ***
*** or: "Alright, so you don't have any other qualities besides your looks, give me one good reason why I should stay here?" ***
It went downhill from there, she ejected, but I remembered that I would never lose a set without asking for a number (MAKE THE HO SAY NO), so I walked after her and asked for the number and she rejected, NEXT.
Back on the dance floor I danced with every girl I could spot, even ones I wasn't really into, just for practise/fun. I made out with a girl (Started dancing with her, she turned around, I told her I didn't like grinding someone from behind so I pushed her shoulder and turned her around, triangular gazed and we kissed, she gave me tongue and everything). She also asked me if I wanted to go smoke (FINALLY I'M GETTING SOMEWHERE!), I was thinking to myself I would be a leader and go on ahead, but it was too crowded and I lost her. (Note to self: Grab her arm/hand and lead).
I failed alot of sets, because I was drunk, the one shittest I failed all night was:
"Do you still remember my name?" (Because of being drunk).
One time I even tried: "No, but from now on I'm calling you Snow White!

", she looked at me funny and she ejected.
I spotted a 6-set (all girls) and I just jumped in, I didn't want to go direct on 1 girl so I spun one girl around, high fived another and just danced next to 2 other HB's, I didn't know what else to do from here, so I went in to 1 girl (mistake) and she gave me the old:
her: "My boyfriend wouldn't like this".
I tried to recover: "I don't want to be your boyfriend, I just want to dance", but to no avail.
I should've done some more fun things like telling 2 girls to hold their hands together and limbo-ing underneath it, I'm going to do that next time.
Also all night I was talking in the lounge area to 2-sets, doing the best-friends test over and over untill I became so sick of it that it showed and I got horrible responses from it.
HB: "Alright, please leave! Enough!" (After doing a series of routines, best-friends test, number between 1-4)
Sorry, I tried to keep it short, but once you start typing you just can't stop it.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Self-reminders (Lessons I learned tonight):
- Being drunk sucks while sarging, your short-term memory is messed up and the most important skill a PUA has doesn't work anymore, creativity. Best is to not drink at all, but if you have too much AA then only drink 1 or 2 beers max (or 1 shot). (Just to be clear, I don't have too much AA anymore, I wasn't planning on sarging, that's why I drank)
- Routines suck, they're great to start with, but after awhile it just gets boring repeating the same shit over and over. I'm going to try and stay away from routines, I am however going to work on DHV stories to tell.
- Be willing to walk away, I stayed in set too long and kept pulling like an AFC, I'm still not using time-constraints.
- Eye contact is killer.
- Things are starting to fall into place, but day-game still feels kinda weird, I can say hi to people easily and do some small talk, direct still feels weird, I'll do it soon, I know I will, because I learned that AA is all in the head: "I don't have the time", "She'll think I'm weird", "I don't know what to say" are all excuses, how do I know this? I'll quote a post by Braddock I read a while ago:
Quote:
Stop bitching about other people!!! "If only I had a wing. If only I this or that."
Fuck excuses. They are just things you are choosing not to overcome, because you don't want your goal bad enough. If I said go open 20 sets or I'll blow your mom's fucking head off!!!! Would you say, "Well, Braddock, I would like to do that. I mean I love my mom and I want to really really bad! But, I don't have a good wing." Fuck no! You would open 20 sets in 10 min to save your mom, but you won't open 20 in a week to develop the lifestyle you fucking want and deserve??????????
In short: When you make up excuses in your head think about this: "Does this excuse I have still stand if someone put a gun to my mom's head?"
- I don't have the time!
* MAKE TIME! YOUR MOM'S HEAD IS GONNA GET BLOWN OFF
- I don't know what to say!
* FUCK IT! SAY SOMETHING! YOUR MOM IS GONNA DIE FFS!
Now thinking about it, I think all MPUA's became great, because their desire to be better with woman was bigger than their fear of rejection. Think about it, didn't almost ALL MPUA's have zero social skills? And weren't most of them virgins until they got into pickup in their 20's?
So next time when you come up with some lame excuse think to yourself: "If I don't do this, I'll never become good with woman and I'll either die alone or end up in a relationship where I'm not fully happy, but it's the best I can get."
---------------------------------------------------------------
For the next couple of days/weeks I'm going to approach HB's and perfect my cold-reading skills,
I'm going to approach girls and tell them "I'm working on my people skills and I'll need their help/opinion real quick, I got an intuition about them and I'm wondering if it's true".
I'm going to be thinking about their:
* Ambitions (What they study or want to be when they finish school)
* Passions (Hobbies)
* Personality (Introvert or extrovert, kind or bitchy (though I won't say that, I'll say: It takes a while to really get to know you)
Not only do I think this is a great cold-reading opener if guessed correctly, but it will help me develop cold-reading skills as I do this more often.
Also a mates GF is throwing a party next weekend, she's a model and her model friends are coming, I'm not going to drink and work on my social skills/game, house parties are awesome, because there is no AA, you HAVE to introduce yourself to everyone, it's good manners.
I'll let you guys know how it went.
