Hey all,
Here's a new infield video I snapped when in Vegas recently for Sasha's Direct Dating Summit.
So, Vegas is supposed to be America's city of sin, full of easy girls and cheap thrills, right??
Hmm, we (Sasha, Ryan, Gareth Jones, Soporno, Badboy etc) stayed there a week and found it to be one of the very worst pickup cities we've ever been to (and the crew of deadly ladies men assembled have gamed and coached in hundreds of cities worldwide!).
It's all hype gents.. The locals want nothing to do with tourists and the tourists are so flakey and trashy that unless you pull on the same night, you'll never hear from them again. I'm not saying none of us got laid, I'm just saying there were no day 2's and even the masters of phone and text were struggling to get girls to reply.
It became a running joke that when each of us pulled a solid number, we'd consider deleting it straight away. Sasha starting sending "Flake test, 1. 2. 3" as his opening text
Having said all that, it's a fun, surreal city to run amok in for a few days, but in my opinion an awful choice for a pickup weekend away.
Breakdown
Camera misses the opening but from memory I just walked up and asked the girls why they were leaving.
The alpha female in green, Jenny, tries to blow me off immediately by saying twice that we should leave and go to the club they've just left. I call out the hint and then keep rolling.
Notice that I stay rooted to the same spot throughout almost the entire interaction, ignoring the clammer of the rest of the group and other guys coming in and out (Ryan, I wasn't ignoring you because I don't love you, just had a job to do!). As I lock her in with my intent, she walks over into my space and from there she's all mine.
This is the way I deal with groups; fuck engaging everyone, ignoring the target or whatever convoluted strategy other wack gurus suggest. Essentially I create a private space between me and the lady and only engage others as they walk into my space. You notice that very soon, the rest of the girls scatter, essentially doing the isolation for me.
In terms of the conversation, I use a lot of spontaneous redirection. Instead of following topics along predictable literal pathways, I pick words out of the flow and shift to more flirty/interesting threads. For example, she asks me to guess her ethnicity and says, "What do you think I am?" Instead of answering the literal question, I reinterpret the question to be about her character and answer "Assertive".
Note at 1.55 she notices the camera. I pick this up and as she's starting the sentence, "There's a guy over there.." I don't look with her. I jump in quickly with heavy intent and grab her attention back. Within a half-second she's completely forgotten that she was being filmed... That is not the PUA camera man you are looking for - Jedi style. This is the power of presence in the moment.
Towards the end I can see the group is drifting and know I have to wrap it up before she gets pulled away. I preempt her leaving, which stops a rapid power shift, meaning that I am still the leader and trigger puller.
So, I say, "Let's meet up again later".
She says, "Yeah nice meeting you" in a dismissive way, and I nail her on it, showing I only want her number if she's committed to seeing me again. "Do you want to meet again or not?" I do this often, as it shows that I'm willing to let her walk and don't accept flakyness.
As I'm getting the number she gets distracted by her friend, and I assertively try to get her attention twice. She doesn't comply, so I simply wait, knowing she's obliged to turn back to me to say goodbye. Remember, there's no point leading in an overbearing way if the girl isn't enjoying following you. I therefore quickly reassess and chill, so I don't come across as pushy or needy.
Notice I haven't touched her much until the end, although she does a lot of incidental touch on me. I prefer to do less touch, build sexual tension through intent and presence, sporadic incidental touch, and then spike physically at the end. So, when she tries to give me a chaste obligatory hug, I pull her in and we get all wrapped up and she jumps up on me. Tender cheek kiss and then I walk off..
Oh, did I meet up with her later, you might ask?
"Flake test, 1. 2. 3....."
James.
