Days 19/20

Approaches: 8
Numbers: 1
Lays: 0

The last couple days have been really hectic with tests and just being busy. So I haven't been able to post or approach as much as I have wanted. So I'm just skipping those days and I'm including yesterday and the day before for days 19 and 20. I'm not going to go into detail on every approach but I'll highlight the ones that I learned or were memorable. Upwards and onwards...

I had a test early Saturday morning which was awesome. I met an hb 6.5 at the bus stop on the way there. She had a really nice body but her face was just eh. Anyways, I loved my opener because it incorporated a high five. I asked "do you have the same test this morning? Awesome me too! High five." After that she was really receptive and we talked quite a bit. Funny story is, I was planning on closing her after the test seeing as we'd both be finishing and heading back on the same bus.. but when I sat down to take my test I realized we weren't in the same class and that I was taking the wrong exam haha. So I had to show up late to my other exam and the time allotted was different so I missed out on my opportunity for the close. I'm bummed because it was going to be a solid close, especially if we spent more time on the ride back but fate had other plans.

The number close I got was from an hb 8.5. I knew her roommate a little bit before and had run into her once or twice and just said hello, how are you sort of thing. This time I was getting out of the water from surfing and I saw her and her friend laying on the beach so I said hello to them for a little while, then I dropped my stuff off and came back and spent the day on the beach with them. Both of the girls are hb 8.5 and are really nice and they want to hang out with my friends and I which is great. Only problem is they see us as friends. I'd rather have hot friends then no friends but we're going to try and turn it around next time we go out with them at night.

I had a night time approach that I was really happy about. I was talking to a 2 set (hb 7s) and was really working on my body language in the set. I avoided pecking/leaning in as much as possible and it was great to see them lean in when they talked. I was doing well with it, or at least I thought so. One of the girls was cold even though I was focusing on her more and the other girl seemed really into me. Eventually the cold one said they were leaving so I was cockblocked. I tried for the other ones number but she said no. A little confused on the interaction but I was really pleased that I spent a long time talking to the two girls.

I've discovered that I'm decent at day game and good with social circle game, but I'm horrible at night game. Besides booty bumping people at the dance floor or using the camera opener with my wing the Pistol, my openers are usually weak and not calibrated enough. That's something I need to work on. Also, because I'm decent looking usually every night I get a look from a 5s or 6 but I never pursue because I'm not interested in them. I want to do better. I want the 7s, 8s, and 9s, which is why I'm doing this journal. I've definitely made progress throughout this journal but it's time to get serious and step it up.

Day 21

Approaches: 3
Numbers: 0
Lays: 0

Went out with the boys and met up with some friends for a birthday. It was a fun night but I'm starting to get sick of the same venues over and over again. I probably knew close to a third of the people in the place, which is great for social proof but it was surprisingly not that crowded. Usually Tuesdays pull a good crowd but twas not the case.

1: First approach was with one of my mates. We sat across from an hb 7 and hb 6. My mate wanted the 7 so I winged him on the 6 and it was perfectly executed. After a minute or two I had the 6 up and dancing on the floor then moved her to another part of the club before returning back to my mate. I wasn't down for my hb because I don't have jungle fever but she was a pretty girl. Also, my mate definitely did his job but the girl had a boyfriend. Oh well. This set was an incredible feeling because everything went to script. I do well winging because it takes pressure off me, but I need to do this anyways when I approach.

2: A Brazilian on the dance floor noticed my social proof from the previous approach and my friends and smiled at me. I simply smiled back and walked up to her said I do hugs and she was thrilled by it. Unfortunately, she was another hb6 but I talked to her for a little bit and then avoided her the rest of the night. I ran into her once more and she made me kiss her haha. Eject.

3: Two hb 6.5s were standing a little ways from me. I went up approached and then my mate from earlier came up to wing me. It was a poor approach by me but then when he came in it just made things more awkward. He told it as it was and said "well this is dead" and we bailed haha. Not a good approach but a good laugh.


Week 3 Totals

Approaches: 23
Numbers: 1
Lays: 0

I didn't hit the goal of 25 approaches but I'm happy I was close. School is definitely taking over my life as I'm almost finished and have exams coming up. That being said, I am doing some traveling before exams start so this next week I hope to hit 50 approaches. This past week was spotty. Had some really great successes but at the same time failed miserably on some. I need to keep consistent with a lot of approaches, which is the plan for next week. I made some strides this week but not as much as the previous week. I did some reading to improve inner game especially, which will shine through during this next week.

Day 22/23

Approaches: 6
Numbers: 0
Lays: 0

I made 3 day approaches on day 22 and 3 night approaches last night for day 23.

Day approaches - I made 3 approaches in twenty minutes on the bus ride back. A Brazilian hb 6 in front of me said something to me but I didn't really understand her so I just started talking to her. Normally I'm a big fan of Brazilian women but she was just a little too much woman for me personally. I was doing okay with running some comfort routines but was reaching for threads a little.

2 - The girl next to me hb5.5 was listening into the conversation the whole time so she chimes in on the conversation. I then proceed to work back and forth between the 6 and 5.5 and did a pretty good job. I ended up getting off at my stop and set them up to make friends which was funny.

3 - While getting off the bus I noticed an hb 7.5 behind me so I opened her by complimenting her pants. I made sure to look over my shoulder when talking to her as I was a bit in front of her to display proper body language. Eventually we got to talking and she was learning english here as she's from Chile. One of my friends is friends with her it turns out so hopefully I'll be running into her soon.

Night approaches:

1 - At a pre party I ran some humor and storytelling on an hb 6. She ate it up and was into me but I want better so after a little bit a began talking to some other people.

2 - There was a 3 set with hb 6.5, hb 8, and hb 8.5. The Pistol and I ran our camera opener and it worked great although we didn't transition effectively.

3 - Last approach was this hb 7 that I literally see all the time whenever I go out. I gave her a big hug and we talked for a while. She was stone sober while I was pretty drunk so I didn't get as far as I would've liked. I did practice my Spanish with her though yeeow!

Good 2 days of approaches but tonight should eclipse them.

Day 24

Approaches: 10
Numbers: 0
Lays: 0

Last night I went out with my wings small fry, pistol, and shenanigans. It was a great night and I finally reached double figures in approaches for one night. There were so many approaches it's hard to keep track but I'll touch on the highlights.

- I tried the claw approach by Tyler Durden. If you don't know what it is it's basically just grabbing the girl and slinging her onto yourself. You're suppose to do it when you're in the zone. I wasn't off my game but I wasn't in the zone either so I said what the hell I'll give it a whirl. Hb 7 was pretty scared by it. I think I'll save it for when a girl gives me IOIs haha.

- Ran into an hb 5.5 that I've said hello to once before. I absolutely busted on her and she couldn't get enough. She was hitting me in the arm while laughing at herself. Pure gold. Had her on the ropes but I'd rather have her friend.

- A little firecracker hb 6.5 and I started dancing. I met her a previous weekend so I just focused on having fun dancing in the group until I could get one on one with her. I then proceeded to pick her up and she had her legs wrapped around my waist. It was basically sex with clothes on. Pretty ridiculous. She had to go back with her friends but I will push the envelope next time.

My wings were with me at different points of the night but small fry and I were together the whole pushing for the 10 approaches. The goal of the night was to hit 10 and also be direct in the approach or very clear of our intentions. It was a lot of fun and a big shout out to shenanigans for winging small fry on an hb7 for a number and k close.

It was a fantastic night and I love going for double digits as it makes you immune to rejection.

I am leaving early tomorrow morning for a six day trip to Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. I will not have my computer so there will be no posts during this time. However, I expect to go big. I'll have reports and stories once I return in a week. Wish me luck.

Sydney/Melbourne Trip

Approaches: 30
Numbers: 1
Lays: 1

What a crazy crazy trip. The Pistol and I went out big 3 nights and on the other days spent time exploring the cities and/or sleeping because we pulled quite a few all nighters. There were so many approaches because staying in hostels allows you so many opportunities to approach. Also, at the bars and clubs I utilized an unintentional strategy that really worked well, which I'll get to in a minute. Made a ton of great friends and did really well on the trip.

All of the nights I went out the whole goal was to just have fun and not worry on results, which I try to do anyways wherever I am. Two of the nights, however, I would start to get tired and I would just take a break and find a quieter place whether inside or outside and just sit down and relax. I wouldn't be super happy or super upset, just neutral and sit there and relax. Both nights I did this and ended up setting me up for success for the night.

Sydney 1: The first night in Sydney the Pistol and I went out and ran into some hb 6s and they ended up taking showing us a great bar. Once there we went straight into action. We chatted them up, met up with their friends, hit the dance floor for a little bit, then went outside to the smoking area. One of the friends was an hb 6.5 and I found out that she was old (for me), as in low 30s. After hearing this I was like oh there’s no way this is going to happen between me and her so I just hung out and teased her a bit here and there. Fast forward a couple hours her and her hb 8 friend came and got us to go to another bar. The hb 6.5 ended up buying me like four or five drinks and I already knew where the night was headed for me. Even though the Pistol had the hb 8 it was impossible for him to close because she’s from a culture that frowns upon premarital sex and wasn’t down. Oh well, ended the night with going back to the hb 6.5’s place and got my first lay on this report.

Sydney 2: The second night in Sydney we went out with mates from the hostel and then later on I pulled the relax for ten minutes. I did this because the Pistol and I were on the dance floor for a bit then he went to the bathroom so I waited in a booth for a while for him. I was just sitting there relaxing when an hb 6 sits down across from me. She says "I'm just so tired of guys trying to hit on me" lol. She wasn't really up to my standards so I just talked to her for a little bit and then she left to find her friend. While I was talking the Pistol had gotten out of the bathroom and walked right by me going to look for me, which I didn't see happen at the time. So instead I just waited there, and about five minutes later a hb 7 and a guy sat down across from me. I said hello and we started talking. About five minutes later three more hbs show up that knew the couple. It was great I was able to meet an hb 7.5, hb 7, and hb 6.5 and get on friendly terms with them. The guy ended up buying drinks and bought me one woot woot!

Anyways, from that point onward I hung out with them along with some others. Toward the end of the night we ended up hanging out with 3 hb 8s if not higher. They were seriously hotttt. It was closing time at the bar so there wasn’t a real opportunity and they weren’t interested in a one night stand so not a big deal, but they were seriously attractive.

Melbourne 1: The Pistol and I were staying in a quiet hostel in Melbourne, which is definitely not our style. I’m up for having quiet nights but if I’m traveling we’re getting pissed one way or another. We decided to start prelashing early in our room and incorporated a whole bunch of people in our hostel into the drinking games. It was a ton of fun and everybody told us how awesome it was for us to bring out the party in the room because everyone there pretty much minded their own business prior to us. I did successfully attract an hb 6 in our room but wasn’t interested.

Fast forward later in the night we ended up at a bar that was a really cool venue. We talked to some guys and girls in the bar and outside in the smoking area before I took another break where I just sat down for 15 minutes relaxing. After a while I noticed this hb 8 getting close to me (IOI proximity). She was a blonde with this nice blue pea coat on and was looking really attractive. I had noticed her before but every 5 minutes a new guy would approach and get blown out. While sitting there relaxing I noticed she was getting closer and the Pistol started talking to her and doing a decent job. Eventually she backed out of the conversation though and moved a few feet toward me.

Right then one of the guys I was talking to before came over so I started to talk to him then asked a question to the hb 8 and her friend. I then transitioned and moved her inside to the bar. She bought me a drink J and then we moved to a booth. This girl was used to the attention so I remained firm with my body language with making her do all the work. Additionally, her personality wasn’t particularly adventurous as I found out when I qualified her. She was a girl that I had to slow play and I was a able to kiss close her a couple times but I made sure to always end the kisses first. I got her number and she wanted to hang out the next night but I was leaving. I tried to bring her back but she wasn’t that type of girl or my skills aren’t good enough. It was a really great feeling to nab one of the hottest girls in the place and have her ask me out, buy me a drink, and kiss close.

Overall, the trip was a great experience. I had a great time traveling and I upped my game. There are two things that were really helpful that I learned. Taking just a 15 minute break during a night and not trying to do what every other guy is doing is useful. It may be more useful if you’re attractive (not sure) but make sure that you’re not trying to eye anyone up and down. Go for the pity card as in I can’t find my friends. Also, another thing that I didn’t mention but really scored me points with the hb 8 was going direct. I went direct with the k close among some other moments. She was really impressed by my lack of bullshit and it felt really good. Super stoked on the trip and hopefully this next week I can carry this momentum.

sweeeeet bro!

My internet has run out and I'm currently in the process of studying for finals. For right now this will be my last post. I've learned and have developed so much throughout the course of the journal. Hopefully I'll start another one soon. If anyone has any questions feel free to shoot me a message and I'll try and respond as quick as possible. It's been real.
