Hey Everyone, I'm Jawsome.
If you want to sarge with me IN CHICAGO or the surrounding areas please send an AOL INSTANT MESSAGE to "Jawsomebob" this will go directly to my phone as text. This is the best way to get a hold of me.
I started pickup in 2006 when I read The Game and frustrated with my current dating situation read it in a weekend and then found myself on the then Mystery Method forums. I was only 20 at the time and while on the forums I discovered a website for a local Chicago lair called
SocialSkillz apparently the name Project Chicago was taken by another group so this guy started his own lair because for whatever reason he was denied entrance into Project Chicago. (The founder of Social Skillz went by the name "Kino" )
However, no one from that lair was doing daygame. So I went to the IRC and found a guy by the name of Benrox who got me into the "Project Chicago Lair" which had a daygame event on a monthly basis which I attended as my first ever in person pickup meetup. The guys liked me so much that they called the organizers Doggy Style and Naughty and got me in the lair right away.
After attending a few daygame events I decided I wanted to do one TWICE a week.
So I started posting on Socialskillz and Project Chicago and had a MASSIVE daygame turnout. It turns out that Socialskillz had a lot more guys on it then Project Chicago and I met TONS of wingmen. I still enjoyed my membership to project Chicago but they were a more selective group where as socialskillz was a public forum. However Socialskillz also had a private section for members that have met "face to face" with one of the Administrators and soon enough my daygame events got me into that verified section. I was amazed at all the awesome posts socialskillz kept hidden away on that section. It was amazing and at the time "Project Chicago" was just a meetup.com group so it couldn't compete. I was hooked.
Note: The meetup.com group focused on MEETING IN PERSON rather then lurking on a forum. However in my experience the social skillz board at it's peak actually had more meetups then Project Chicago did even in it's Golden Age. Although in terms of historically and consistently being active definitely the prize goes to Project Chicago.
(
The verified section is where Dahunter from former love systems coach posted all of his best LR and it is a shame that that website is now gone because those were great posts. However even better were the posts made by Johnny Walker on http://www.Project-Chicago.com because those were GOLDEN. The best stuff that compares to it now are Ronnie Libra's posts (Pickup Raw coach) on http://www.thechicagolair.com but even then I don't know if anyone can top JW posts.)
My game started getting good and I lost my virginity and wrote my first lay report about a girl I met during the daytime at water tower place. Soon I became a moderator for socialskillz and was given authority by leadership to start verifying other members at my daygame events. I began to improve and eventually I met my regular wing Pellaeon. (AKA Clovermite)....Clovermite not only was a virgin but he never even kissed a woman. Working with me Pellaeon was a good wing and was able to get me laid 2 additional times and assist me to getting the phonenumbers of over 50+ women and makeouts with at least a dozen. However no matter how hard I tried to help and no matter what he read or even when he tried different wings other then me Pellaeon was unable to kiss any woman. Finally we went on a trip, and on this trip him and I had a big fight about how "crazy" I was in sets and I responded to him. "Why are you worrying so much about what people think all the time?"
He looked at me and realized what he had to do and that night he kissed his first woman.
It wasn't long before Pellaoen and I both had girlfriends. The socialskillz crew and all the other PUA's on there kept growing in numbers. To compete with the popularity of socialskillz project chicago moved it's main membership off of meetup and onto a new website
http://www.project-chicago.com... This is when things got interesting because socialskillz guys began to get really good really fast and project-chicago guys were a little bit more sheltered at the time. Not to mention SocialSkillz was the official lair of former lover systems intructor DAhunter where at the time project chicago just had Dr. Paul and later became estranged with him anyways. There was a lot of pressure on Project-Chicago to compete with social skillz so eventually everyone on social skillz was invited to join Project Chicago (although I am not sure if Kino was included). Some members accepted but others declined. Still most of the active in field members at the time chose to stay exclusively with Social Skillz.
But anyways the success of Socialskillz caused much of it's upper leadership to find girlfriends or get married. So I was left in charge of the whole damn thing.
Yes I Jawsome briefly ran that lair for a few weeks before handing it off to one of Dahunters roommates a sometimes wing of mine that went by Jules Crew. Later another guy took it over. Eventually though pretty much everyone got girlfriends and someone actually offered to buy the domain name. If you go to
http://www.socialskillz.com now you will see there is no lair.
This is when the
GOLDEN AGE of PROJECT CHICAGO began. All the remaining members of socialskillz who did not have girlfriends applied for membership on Project-Chicago.com. Anyways the result was amazing and having one definitive lair in the city was a great thing. People were becoming inactive as "The Game" was no longer a new book so it was nice that all the AFCs came to the same place during some of the slowest times for pickup. I broke up with my girlfriend for a few weeks and sarged with the guys and there was a lot more going on then before. However it seems that leadership of Project-Chicago had changed hands as well. Charm, Doggy Style and Naughty all had girlfriends or wives and there was a new "Grand Dragon" and his name was Johnny Walker. Eventually though I got back together with my girlfriend and we started getting more serious so I was out of the lair for a good couple of years.
The main reason I got serouis with my girlfriend is because my wingman Pellaeon took a job is DC and sarging just wasn't the same without him anymore. So I stayed in that relationship for 5+ years.
It was under Johnny Walker that the united membership of both Project Chicago and Socialskillz thrived on Project-Chicago.com and the membership and activity of ANY chicago based lair was never higher with the exception of the peak of the social skillz dot com era because nothing in Chicago Pickup lair history tops the in field activity level of the first year of socialskillz.com. I checked in every once in a while and was always impressed that there was so much activity even 7 years after "The Game" came out.
But then something happened. One of the local Gurus named Gladiator and Johnny Walker got into a disagreement, which caused Johnny Walker to expel Gladiator from Project Chicago. This in response caused the founder of project Chicago who appointed Johnny Walker as the leader of his website while he was in PUA retirement to restore his administrator rights and reverse the decision to ban Gladiator. This caused Johnny Walker to start his own lair which is now called thechicagolair.com
However, it wasn't always called thechicagolair.com it used to be called project-chicago.org which the url looked a lot like project-chicago.com so this made Doggy Style pissed and he permanently banned Johnny Walker. During this time I broke up with my girlfriend and I didn't know what the hell was going on but I know that Johnny Walker and Doggy Style were both very good leaders however for some reason I sided more with Johnny Walker although in hindsight perhaps banning Gladiator and creating a new lair called Project-Chicago.org was not really the coolest thing in the world to do. But at the time I just felt like Johnny walker was the one who lead the lairs for the last couple years and was the one who had all those AMAZING posts in the lair and INSPIRED so many people in-feild with his coaching and demonstrations so he would know better then someone that came out of 5+ year PUA retirement mostly to defend a friend. (Although I think Doggy Style came out of PUA retirement as a moderator a few weeks before the drama broke out.)
Anyways, for speaking out Doggy Style banned me from Project-Chicago.com for life and I joined up with
http://www.thechicagolair.com which actually so did a lot of other guys. I think right now out of the two lairs
http://www.thechicagolair.com is probably more active. Most of the Ex-Socialskillz guys went to thechicagolair.com where as more of the original non-socialskillz guys stayed with project-chicago.com
Anyways....I have been wanting to reunite the lairs but apparently the blood is really bad. So I have been sarging with everyone from
http://www.thechicagolair.com and it has been awesome. I have slept with 3 girls in the last month and a half and I have just started warming up. By the time the weather is hot...jawsome will be hot.
My goals for Chicago is to work on restoring the cooperation between Project-Chicago.com and thechicagolair.com it would be great to have joint lair events and lair talks. Johnny walker is engaged now so he is not even involved with thechicagolair.com anymore (Jacob and Exmillonare run the lair now and BWS was banned from both lairs forever). Doggy Style is however still the main contact for Project-Chicago.com or as they call themselves the "Project Chicago Lair".
The best place to meet up though is actually probably the meetup group for PUA's in Chicago.
http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoPuaLair/events/180188032/
This meetup group is actually affiliated with
http://www.thechicagolair.com but I recommend joining it first before joining the actual lair because it is easier to get into the meetup group.
Then once you got to the meetup you can get access to
http://www.thechicagolair.com and yes I am still trying to restore my membership to
http://www.project-chicago.com but I don't think that will happen. But my goal is to make the lairs more cooperative in Chicago.
TLDR: We need to reunite the lairs. I want to see all the people from
http://www.Project-Chicago.com and
http://www.thechicagolair.com together again. I want to end the bad blood.
So the lairs that are active in Chicago now:
Project Chicago Lair: The original lair.
The Chicago Lair: A spiritual successor to both Project Chicago and Socialskillz. (Three of this lairs most active members were from Social Skillz)
