36 inch waist. Target is 30 inches.

If I can ask cars to pull over. Is this useful?, I pulled guys on motor bikes over just to say good morning. How is a car any different?

I was apprehensive about opening a set that looked like they were in a sad state. Next time I will be confident in approaching sad sets. I must believe I will add value by making them smile.

10 09/07/2012
Last weekend. looks like the more observant I become the more apprehensive I become. It is weird but without the teaching frame I cannot rationalise what I do. What I achieved on the weekend I was able to shake all the door men’s hands to every venue I went to, I made a promise to myself that I would not enter without this being done.

There was a set outside the slug and lettuce. Mother and daughter set. I said hello then turned my back. I was not in the frame to talk for long. I was a bit bar shy after doing so much daygame. Anyway the daughter called me over to say I was a playa. I kept the frame and did Stelar's attitude, off course I am, what r u. Anyway after a while, I said what my name is, I did not reveal my name. I said too bad u have lost, there was a shocked expression, I walked away. I have never done this before. I was willing to go back after going inside to talk to some more people. I guess I am developing the ability to go back and forth between sets without the set having too much power over me. I am finding large crowds and loud music distracting. I will make an effort to commit more next time. My enthusiasm is low now. Even with a wing I have the mindset of a SOLO guy with low energy.

I have been in sets for 1 hour. I am falling into the trap of having the sets leading me instead of me leading them. Staying in set for 2 hours or even 4 hours is a good challenge. I am seeing what I can and cannot do. Can I maintain my position. If I have to be honest, I guess the fear is I am worried about boring the set beyond 2 hours. I have so many objectives that I forgot to time myself.

12 18/07/2012
For example I will not plough for too long if a member of a set refuses to shake my hands properly, by giving me the finger instead of a palm. I do not care if they are holding onto cigarettes or a phone. I will say, you are too shy I am not going to talk to you. There are an abundance of sets. Being comforted to stay in one position in a bar or a street is no reason to tolerate disrespect.

This is possibly the last report. Everything from here just seems to yo yo. State goes up and down. In other words some days I feel great, some days I do not.

I will be going back to comedy world now, if not to perform then as a spectator as it has always been my greatest passion. I will still do what I do, but in a less obsessed fashion.

What's up guys...

I'm 22 and I want to get involved with the Jackal Crew and Birmingham PUA Scene properly.

I've met a few guys off here and some of them have been good, but I'm struggling to have guys to go out with.

Can someone hit me up with any meet up details, I'd be really grateful lol and I guarantee to do 10 approaches on the first meeting.

Ta lol.

Sorry been a way for a while. Aim to get back into it ASAP. Working on getting a few people together to start working day game in Leicester and also Nottingham, and if possible try to meet up with Jackal and crew in Birmingham. The way I see is that i need to work each city whenever i can, whenever i'm near or available. Being busy is no longer an excuse.

I'm in the West Mids (Study and live in Birmingham half the year, spend the rest in Coventry) - if you ever get back, drop me a line through personal message.

Cheers,
R

Field report 21/01/2013

Meeting The Jackal, doing Daygame, complimenting and asking a girl out. These were the three things I did today for the first time in my life.

It’s a Monday. I had arranged to meet The Jackal at 12 somewhere in the centre of Birmingham. Our City is engulfed in a dust of snow, the vibrations of people through the city centre churns the snow into an icy slush as heel upon heel beats pavement. It’s 9, and I’m up late. This doesn’t matter, however, because I’ve already made the decision that I’m going to get a lot out of today. I eat breakfast, do menial tasks here and there, and try to gain focus on the task at hand for today. I am washed over with a sense of dread. Fear and angst trickle through the intricacies of my mind. The sky of my world is overcast with uncertain clouds. I don’t even know if I’m going to make it in time in this weather, let alone be able to break my social shell.

But uncertain as I might be, I know one thing. The world I have lived in for 21 years is of no use to me. I cannot thrive while in chains. One simple, overwhelming fact grips my conscience and rends at my heart strings, and it is this: I will not go on like this.

I have taken the plunge now. It’s too late. I'm not in the business of giving up.

10:30AM. I shave. With each stroke of Mach 3 against skin, I scrape myself clean. Splash of cold water, application of towel, splash of aftershave, then cold water, then facial cleanser. The next two steps of my morning skin care regime are a secret, but the result is flawless skin. Within the next ten minutes, dressing occurs. I look in the mirror. I feel good, powerful, constructed. I have done what I can, the rest I leave in the hands of my Teacher.

And from this humble beginning, the world I lived in was to be shaken to the core. The barriers in my social world were to rock to their very foundations.

Jackal texts me as I’m on the train. He states what he needs to calmly, and concisely. He provides the advice, it’s down to you if you wish to take it. He tells me I need to be aggressive today, be prepared to re-engage sets, and talk slow. I’m dressed moderately, well shaved, and presented in line with as was expected. I’m expected to perform.

12:00: I’m where Jackal wants me to be. His text tells me I am to warm up for ten minutes before I am to begin my training with him. I’m to talk to people, stop them at random, and ask for directions, the time – whatever. My comfort zone was about to be breached, and frankly, smashed to pieces. I spent 10 minutes stopping whoever I wanted in the street and asked them platonic questions. All of them were pleasant, all of them complied. I was slightly confused. Why on earth did this scare me? Why have I been so reluctant to do this? The pace of the day was fast, and my mind didn’t even allow me to break things down like this. Jackal instructed, and I carried out.

Ten minutes had gone. I’m now running, in the slush, to meet my Teacher, The Jackal. My pace begins to slow as I reach him. Jackal emits supreme confidence. He is, at all times, in control. His presence can be best articulated as that of a man who is able to play a very cunning and well-engineered game of mental chess. He moves through the social fabric just two moves ahead of everyone else. He is focused. I say this quite literally – there is no way to tell what is in his mind.

The teaching began swiftly, and this very much became the pace for which my feet were to move today. He broke down to me that the abstractions of reality within my mind are just that – abstractions. The reality of your social experience has a lot more to do with you, I’m told, namely – it’s all in your head. The first lessons derived from this philosophy was this: never assume.

Jackal stops people point blank, tells them to have a great day, shakes their hand, stops groups and asks them to describe the weather. I’m watching and analysing. My findings? This is fucking nuts! Why did they all respond so positively? And why did they respond at all? This demonstration of social interaction which was outside the norm illustrated to me, as mentioned, that it is all in a persons had. Moreover, we have more power to command our social reality than our experience in the world teaches us.

The gears are beginning to turn in my head. I am very excited at this point. Jackal’s presence gives me a great deal of confidence. I want to be able to do what he does. He explains to me that it is quite simply a skill set, and to gain (and maintain it), practice is required. The rationale is no different from the logic of gym going. This all understood, he throws me in the deep end.

I perform a set, I go back to The Jackal and debrief, then I sent back into the field. With each set, progression is implemented. I’m first told to ask for directions, and then he gets me doing things I’ve not done in 21 years of life.

He points out a girl and tells me to go over to her and tell her she looks nice. I have never complimented a girl in my life. I do not know how this will go, but I do not even consider anything other than performing the instructions. I feel Jackal’s metaphorical hand performing a strange sort of surgery in my mind.

#HB 6.5 in red hoody
-R: *Tap her on the shoulder* Hey, I wanted to say you look nice today, that’s all.
-HB 6.5: *Face lights up. Her jaw dropped, and her face became one of sheer joy* Thanks!

Wow. What. Just. Happened?!
At this point I am buzzing with excitement. This girl responded incredibly positively to me, and I can’t believe it. I know I probably made her day, so I’m very pleased.

Now, Jackal wanted me to stay in the set. He asked me to get the stop watch out on my phone and time sets. I do this. As it transpired I wasn’t able to time any sets today because I was too excited to open sets.
I opened many sets, maybe about 10 in total, so for the purposes of brevity I will only detail the ones of interest.

#HB 6.5 & HB 6.8
Jackal wants me to stop two girls walking down the street. I run after them, get infront and command them to stop,

R: Stop! I want to talk to you guys for a minute. I’m R, in second year of Political Science at University. How old are you guys?
HB 6.8: 18
HB 6.5: 18
R: Oh wow, that’s great. I’m based in (name of campus), you guys based in Birmingham?
Both: Yeah.
R: Well, look it’s great meeting you. But anyway, I want to take you for a coffee next week. Give me your number. *Points to HB 6.8*
HB 6.8: *Really shy, looks down, speaks quietly* Um. No.
R: Well that’s no problem, nice meeting you guys, have a great day.
I run off to tell Jackal how it went. He asks me if I asked both girls for their numbers. When I answer no, he tells me to run back and ask the other one. He says she found me attractive as she was crossing her legs as she spoke to me. Needless to say, I was off running again.

R: OK, so I have to stop you one more time, because I asked you for your number, but I didn’t ask you. I thought I’d make it fair. So, I want to take you for a coffee next week, can I have your number?
HB 6.5: *shy, looking down, but smiling. Speaks softly * Um, no.
R: Well that’s no problem, been nice meeting you. I’ll leave you alone now. Have a great day!

HB 7.5

R: Hey, do you know the way to Temple Row?
HB 7.5: Err, I’ve heard of it. What you looking for exactly?
R: Well, don’t worry, because I actually don’t need to know. I just wanted to say you look nice today.
HB 7.5: Oh wow, thank you.
*We begin walking*
R: I’m R, nice to meet you *shake her hand*
HB 7.5: What are you selling?
R: *Laughs* Nothing!
HB 7.5: OK
R: So, let me tell you something about myself. I’m R, I’m 2nd year of Political Science at Uni. Now what about you?
HB 7.5: Tells me her name and where she works.
R: *Brain begins to melt a bit…* Well, look, I just wanted to tell you that you looked nice today. Nice meeting you. *Shake her hand again*

Why didn’t I ask for her number?! Fuck. Ah well. Will get better with time
And now on to the last, and best set of the day!

Jackal spotted a girl who worked for a charity doing some street work. We hung around for a sec, and when she was free, he told me to open her.
HB 6.5
R: Hey, I’m R, second year Political Science at Uni *shake her hand*
HB 6.5: Oh wow, nice. I’m Roscheen.
R: Nice name. What is it?
HB 6.5: It’s Irish.
R: Ok, that’s cool. Look I’ve got to get to a lecture in a minute, so let me take you out for a coffee next week.
HB 6.5: Yeah, ok!
R: *taking phone out pocket* I’m busy, but I can text you on like Sunday. I’ll only text you once, so if you don’t reply, that’s that.
HB 6.5: *Smiles and giggles* OK.
Then when I opened the dialer to put her digits in, she tells me she cannot give her number out while working.
R: Well, that’s fine, I respect that. Nice to meet you anyway, have a good day.

I debrief with Jackal, tell him about the no numbers while at work business, and he tells me to quickly go into a shop and write down my number on a piece of paper! I run to a shoe shop, demand that the cashier give me pen and paper, scribe my name and number down, and run to the girl.

She is talking to a guy on the street to promote the charity. I interrupt. I do this by just walking up to the two, apologizing to the guy, and handing the number to the girl.
R: *points* You take care
HB 6.5: *smiles* I will.

I walk off, satisfied.

I can now see that it was a shit test when she said she couldn’t give her number out when working, and I failed it by not telling her I don’t give a fuck about her work policy! Ah well. It’s all becoming very clear.

Me and Jackal are now done for the afternoon. I’ve got lectures to go to! Anyway, we made out way back to where we met, and he tells me what I need to know to complete my introduction to day game.

Elements of today were painful, yes. It was very much like a workout. It was tough, but I got through.

I bid my farewal to Jackal, and got to Uni. Man, I’m still fucking pumped! Have spoken to a number of new people, gotten one number, one guys facebook, and am going clubbing tomorrow with some cool bloke I met! I really feel like I can be a confident, outgoing guy. I feel like it’s in me, and just needs to be brought out. This is what jackal did today.

Upon reflection, I still can’t believe what I did today. For me, this was big.
Next sarge is Thursday. Field report will follow.

Peace and love,
R

HB 6.5?

Live in the real world dude. You shouldn"t rate girls like that. Also, maybe you're new but it's no big deal to go and daygame. No need to write a 2 hour report on it. I say this cos it help you be more centred after a 'good' day or a 'bad' day, it's all just a bit of fun. Fair play though.

Also, fuck the canned stuff. Speak to the girl properly and get in the moment. Walkk up to her without knowing what you're gonna say. You just know you find her attractive and that's why you're walking towards her. Message me if u want to go out sometime.

I very much live in the real world. Didn't rate them mentally until it came to writing the report. Might not be ethically sound, but it's the standard notation and I did it from the start on my own journal so guess for the purpose of continuity I'll allow it to stay. Also, writing a field report serves a number of purposes. Allows me to articulate what I've learned that day and reflect on mistakes made, failing that shit test for instance, and also Jackal politely asks for his students to take some time to put them together. From a teacher's perspective I suppose the rationale would be to ensure the basic logic of the day's instructions filter through correctly. It's also said that people who do the field reports typically do better overall - being a 21 year old virgin, I'm willing to do whatever.

I appreciate your thoughts, nonetheless.
Have a great evening,
R

Sorry dude, I thought you were like 27 for some reason. Sounds like yóu had a good day though, and you did it in the snow.. Props! Me and a couple of guys do day gaming on a saturday. You should come along, r u that 6ft 4 guy?

Hey no problem. And yes, I'm 6 4 mate. Messaged you a while ago. My social life is picking up a lot right now, have been speaking to a lot of people, reviving old contacts, and generally packing my schedule out so I think for day game purposes I'm going to stick under the tutelege of Jackal. However, I will go on a night out with you at some point.

Cheers,
R

Mate, I've shagged girls of day game. But okay, stick with Jackal.

23/01/13

Club Game
Since first sarge, things in my life are changing. My social world is changing, more people are entering it and I’m getting closer to them. Since Monday, I’ve gotten to know around 10 new people around University. Now, oddly enough, these people were there before. In fact, there have always been people around. The problem, and the one we’re fixing here, was simple: I did not know that you could so easily bring them into your sphere. What Jackal told me was this, and it was these words which ring so true time and time again – never assume!

Why do I keep going on about this one gem of advice, which seems so obvious? I keep mentioning it because I believe its underlying false beliefs about people and social interactions which keep us from realizing our social potential. Since my world view was so abruptly altered on Monday, elements of my personality are altering to accommodate my new found knowledge. As mentioned, I’m speaking to new people. I’m actually way, way more sociable now. I’m learning to command people, invest them into talking to you, and give them a reason to socialize. People are a lot cooler than I thought.

The day is Wednesday. Let me illustrate what I have learned with one example. The day before, I was invited out clubbing with a group of gentlemen from my University. I had only met one of them before, and that was just this week, but he liked me and invited me out with his friends. I had no idea what they’d be like, and part of me expected the worst. I’m told to meet them at their house at 10pm. I’m there at 10:15. I enter their house, am warmly introduced, given beers, cigarettes, talk to the guys in the house, and generally have a fucking awesome time. These dudes were cool, and they really took care of me and showed me a great time. The plan was to set off to a club. The time rolls to 12, a cab gets here, and we’re off.

This has been the first time clubbing since I started sarging. I was prepared to open sets as and when I felt like it. I did not feel much approach anxiety at all, which was cool. I open a two set as I walk in and start dancing:

Two set #1
R: Hey, is it always this dead in here?
Girl 1: *Smiling* Hi. I think it gets busier later on!
R: Oh, ok. I don’t come here often. Where do you normally go?
Girl 1: (she tells me – I couldn't really hear)
R: (introduce myself to girl 2)
Girl 2: What? I can’t hear.
R: Whats your name?
Girl 2: (She still couldn’t here. She gestured at me to go away and said I was too tall lol. I think she was self conscious from not being able to hear)

Walked off. Don’t care lol.

Two set #2
R: Hey, what’s your name?
Girl 1: (smiles warmly and tells me her name)
R: Ah ok, I’m R. *Shake her hand* What do you study?
Girl 1: Chemical Engineering. What about you?
R: Political Science. What year are you in?
Girl 1: Second Year.
R: I'm in second year.
(She is really warm, smiley and wants to talk to me. It’s too fucking loud though dammit.)

I sort of get back into dancing and start talking to her friend.
R: Hey, how are you doing? What’s your name?
Girl 2: Hi! (smiles, strokes her hair, gives strong IOI) *comes closer to she can hear me*
R: Whats your name?
Girl 2: (tells me her name)
R: I’m R *shake her hand*. What do you study?
Girl 2: I do English Literature and American Studies.
R: Ah ok that’s awesome! (I can tell she’s into me). Are you based in (insert campus name)
Girl 2: Yeah! I live on (insert rd name)

Asked her some other stuff, how she knows her friend etc. Again, too fucking loud, couldn't get into a good conversation.

As the night went on, I opened more sets. One girl I knew from 1st year, she said hi and gave me a hug, another girl I saw in the club I used to speak to 1st year, she was looking at me pretty funny and smiling…I think she wanted it. I did not want to give it. And then the night went on. I am stone cold sober all night, by the way. Anyway, my antics are not interesting. The ones that are were my friends.

My friend, lets call him S, was wasted drunk. He also kissed 3 girls! This frustrated me. My friend S is short, skinny, and looks a bit funny. One of the girls he kissed was the hottest girl in the club. S made no bones about what he wanted from the night – he went out to kiss as many girls as possible. His method was simple – he would drunkenly dance near a girl, and if she sorta danced back, he would get a lot more physical, typically grabbing them, exchange a word or two, and he’d then go for the kiss. He tried this ad infinitum, and he kissed three girls. One of them was the hottest girl in the club. From my point of view, his trying to dance with them is a sort of compliance test, if they comply, he can escalate further. In the instance of the very hot girl, I was surprised. He went up to her, just grabbed her, spoke to her, and walked off. He then ran back to her, and went in for the kiss. She swept her hair back and let him have it – loads of people were looking. Damn. Good job there. I can definitely say she responded to his forwardness. Aggression and sexual intent is paramount in this setting I believe, by the fact that conversation is so difficult to maintain in respect to the loud music I believe the dynamic is switched to a more forward and direct one rather than casual and conversational. I have actually learned this now. It really cemented when Jackal mentioned in passing that club game is a lot more aggressive. As such obviously I have to present myself sexually and be direct and aggressive. I will not bother with social small talk in future; I will simply go in, assert myself, demonstrate higher value and show willingness to walk away, before going straight in.

I was frustrated after this night out. I spoke to Jackal about it, and his words offered me much assurance. He really eased my frustration. He told me that drunk game is what a lot of guys will do, and the alcohol in a sense disconnects them from the interaction and absolves the risk associated with it. Essentially, the alcohol puts some distance between their balls and rejection. Jackal told me a PUA does not do this. A PUA will go in there, take the risk, put his balls on the line and get the result. As such, he encouraged me not to drink. I noted this, whilst it was tempting from seeing my friend’s antics, I will do sober club game. Jackal’s presence and comments strengthened my resolve. The teacher and student relationship is developing into a more supportive one, that of friends.

Club game provides me with a real opportunity to pull the trigger for the first time and kiss my first girl. I must simply go for it. On night game, Jackal suggested I be prepared to put my balls on the line and be willing to take a plunge. He told me to try something new and be more forward.

‘You need to go in there with the mind-set that you’ve got nothing to lose. If you get a slap in the face, you get a slap in the face. If you get kicked out the club, you go to another one’ – The Jackal

You have to be in it to win it. Fuck it right?

I went home that night with mixed feelings. I met a great bunch of people, they go out and get shit done, and I’ll be out with them regularly. This is a cool thing that’s occurred and it’s come about from being more sociable and open. BUT, I I want to be a player. I’m just going to keep my head down and keep plugging away.

Anyway, on to todays sarge.

24/01/13
The time is ten to 6 in the morning. I got back from the club at half three. I’m happy because I know I've got a sarge later on today, and I actually find day game incredibly fun, but I’m dissatisfied in another sense in that my friends all pulled, and I didn't. But whichever way you look at it – shit, I still opened! This is a guy who used to stand around on the dance floor all night thinking it was impossible. A change is a-coming, I can feel it, but it will only materialise if I make it. Personalities and perceptions of the world are internally constructed. Strange things are occurring to me. I’m becoming a hell of a lot more relaxed with who I am, my own identity, my entire being. I do not feel as if I have to be someone else to achieve my goals, I believe I can do them with my person remaining intact. Rather, I believe I am a clay that needs to be molded, crafted, and set into the most effective person I can be. I want to be myself, but I just want to be my best self. Given it’s so early in the morning, and I am beginning to lose concentration, I am going to drink a litre of water and try and get some sleep for a while! I have Uni at 10, I feel like trash, but this is what it takes.

The time is now 11. I overslept and missed my lecture. No biggie, wasn’t an important one anyway. I have Uni later on, where I will see my crush. I will ask her out at the first opportunity. I’m now heading into the shower, scrubbing my sorry self up, and getting ready to sarge. There is no anxiety associated with going out to sarge now, it feels so natural. I believe this is due to the fact that I sarge with Jackal. He explained to me that the presence of a wing offers positive pressure. You’re quite alright to go open adventurous sets when your friend is there. The fear of people watching and rejection is virtually abandoned. Solo gaming, however, is a very different ball game.

Preparations are done, the clock now says twenty to twelve. My train leaves in five minutes, I’ll be able to meet Jackal at 12, and we can get things under way. At least, that was the plan. Signalling errors at New Street, says the voice in the tannoy. Delays to trains departing, and me sitting around in the station for twenty seven minutes till the rail services resume their usual level of (in)competence. I’m on the train, and I’m texting Jackal to apologize for my lateness. When I finally meet him, it’s half 12. I’m 30 minutes late! Strangely, he does not even acknowledge the fact that I’m late. Out of politeness and respect, I apologise, but he is sheer positivity and does not demonstrate any level of disorientation. Though the sarge has started monumentally late, he is still in control, cool, and collected. I debrief Jackal on my social exploits this week and my having met new people – he’s pleased. But greetings aside, there was business to be done. We’re walking towards a Uni campus, Jackal tells me we’ve only got 30 minutes so we can’t waste time, and tells me to look over my shoulder and open a set standing by a coffee shop.

I go straight over and open.
R: Hey, do you know where Temple Row is?
Her: Where?
R: Temple Row.
Her: Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t know!
R: Oh, that’s OK. You’re very beautiful by the way
Her: (face lights up, she’s smiling, very happy.) Thank you
R: Have a good day.

I know what you’re thinking. Why the fuck didn’t you talk to her more? Why didn’t you try to close? The honest answer – I wasn’t warm yet. At this stage, I require a warm up. Jackal explained the idea of momentum to be when we first met. Momentum is when you create a number of interactions and come into your own. You begin to exude the right energy, and you feel more ready to socialise. It's the subtelties in a persons approach and body language that allow them to perform successfully in our game. On my first day sarging I needed a big warm up, had to ask loads of people for directions, the time etc. Today, all it took was this girl’s warmth and openness to get me going. She looked down briefly, and then looked at me lovingly when she said thank you – it was quite a sexy moment, I suppose this must be the forces of nature telling me she found be attractive. In retrospect, I should have pushed this one for the number as I found her cute. But ah well, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

The next set was a group of 4. Jackal made me get them to stop, and keep them in set! This was a fun interaction.

R: Stop! I need to speak to you guys for a minute, so first I’m going to take all of your names. We’ll start from this way round.
Girls: (smiling, looking at each other) Why do you need our names for?
R: (thinking on my feet) I’m doing a social experiment for a doctoral researcher’s thesis in psychology, we’re finding out about the social dynamics of Birmingham and we want to know how open and friendly people are in Birmingham.
Girls: Oh people in Birmingham aren’t friendly at all!
R: Well you guys stopped, and you all seem friendly enough. So I want to get all your names, we’ll start from this way round. (Got all their names)

Generally chatted to them for a while after, gave them directions, just friendly banter. The interesting thing was, I commanded this set. I could stay in as long as I wanted, or leave at any time. I invested them in the interaction and was able to keep em there. None were attractive so didn’t want to get any numbers, but it was cool. I bumped into them later, they asked how my experiment was going etc haha! They were nice.

Gorgeous Chinese girl

Jackal points her out, tells me to go in. I’m off!

R: Hey, have you got the time?
Girl: Um, it’s up there? (Points out huge clock on the face of the Uni’s main building…lol!)
R: Can’t see, got bad eyes. You give me the time.
Girl: It’s 20 to 1.
R: Oh, ok. You know I think I’ve seen you around.
Girl: Oh really?
R: Yeah, like in lectures.
Girl: Oh! Are you a pharmacist?
R: (…lied here, stupid right? Haha) Yeah. I think I saw you in a lab.
Girl: Really? Was it microbiology?
R: (again, lied…lol) Yeah.
Girl: Oh wow that’s cool, I just haven’t seen you around.
R: You know what, I think you’re beautiful, and I want to take you out for a coffee next week. I want your number.
Girl: (smiling, giggling, speaks very sincerely which was cute) I don’t really give my number out.
R: You know what? I don’t care. I think you’re pretty, and I want to take you out. (spoke slowly, paused)
Girl: Oh thank you so much! But maybe I could get to know you first?
R: (bless her. I didn’t press her cause I lied about the whole pharmacy thing) You know what? That sounds lovely. You have a great day, I’ll see you soon. *shakes hand*

Next set, two girls
R: Stop! I need to talk to you guys for two minutes. I’m doing a social experiment and we’re testing how open and friendly people are in Birmingham. I’m trying to get as many names as possible. So, what are your names?
Girls: (say their names)
R: Ah ok guys, that’s great.
(lots of small talk about living in Birmingham etc, their courses, our essay deadlines, career choices)
Girl 1: So you haven’t even told us about yourself!
R: Oh ok guys, I’m so sorry, let me introduce myself and make it fair. I’m R, I’m second year Political Science, doing the whole law career thing so I’m swamped right now (chick gave me an interesting look here – was kinda sexy lol), was in London the other day for an open day so have had like no sleep this week. Hence why I sound so fucking monotone!
(other small talk happened. This set was cool!)
R: Anyway, I’ve gotta keep going. But I’ve enjoyed this interaction, so I want to know what’s the best way to contact you. Give me your numbers or facebook.
Girls: Facebook would be better (both were cute, so didn’t go for the number close as I couldn’t choose….). What’s this for now?
R: So I can hang out with you at some point, so whats your name darling?
Girls: (Gave me their names. Made small talk about their accents lol.)

Bid them good bye. Had fun with these girls, but didn’t bother adding them on facebook. They were cool though I guess I might at some point. In retrospect, the fact that one of the girls asked about my personal information was indeed an IOI.

Stopped another set, they were also pretty cool, same kinda deal – kept the set there as long as I wanted. However, I didn’t number close and I didn’t find either of them attractive. I got them laughing though…

(mid point)
R: So do you get many people stopping you to talk?
Girls: No not really, unless their like tramps asking for change.
R: Totally, and they’re always asking for some random amount, like ‘Hey excuse me mate, have you got 26p’?
Girls: Yeah, they’re like can I get 99p for a cheeseburger?
R: I know right. It’s like, oh I know what kind of cheeseburger that’s gonna be. A vodka flavoured cheeseburger.
Girls: (giggles)

Told them they were pretty cool and said my good byes. Was the last set as we ran out of time. I was then able to talk to Jackal for some time as he walked back to continue his day. During our conversation, he explained the concept of compliance testing and kino, particularly strong kino. Compliance testing, says Jackal, is the theory behind social investment. By performing a compliance test, we can encourage the person to be invested into an interaction with us. If they comply with the test, you’re in a stronger position to escalate. He demonstrated how to do kino in a manner which is playful and fun. Jackal pulls me in towards him from my arm, but he does so while smiling and stepping back himself. When he does it, it doesn’t feel like he needs you to be there. It feels like he’s perfectly fine to walk away, but at the same time his cheeky, playful manner encourages you to commit to talking to him and makes you feel comfortable. This was a very good example. It’s also something that will take practice to get right!

Jackal went on to handle his business, and I went on my own merry way. I went to the Bullring to return some clothes, get some food and relax for a while before my classes at Uni. I had to indulge myself in some Krispy Kremes! My sweet God are they good! When I was done with my sugar fix, I just opened random people to maintain momentum – ‘Hey, have I got something on my face?’…This went well and got laughs which was pretty sweet.

Carried on to Uni. I’m determined to ask out my crush! I said I would guys, and I was ready to hunt. Get back to Uni at around 2:15. Classes start at 3. My crush is in my class, so it’s easy right? I get to the class at 3. Stand outside texting, greet classmates as they arrive, tell them I’m just texting and will see them inside in a minute, and I’m waiting for my crush to arrive. It’s 5 past 3, and I can’t be any later than this – I’ve already said hi to my class tutor! I head inside.

She arrives ten minutes late. It has been snowing, bless her. She sits directly behind me. The class goes on, there’s some discussion based activity, and then it’s done. She’s sitting with her friend, he’s a guy. I want to open this girl. And so, I turn around and open whilst putting on my jacket:
R: Hey, is there something on my face?
H: (looks) Not that I can see.
R: Thanks. What’s your name?
H: (tells me her name)
R: Whats your name mate? (said to her friend)
Friend: (tells me the name) *we shake hands and I made small talk about where he lives – then back to my crush*
R: Where abouts are you in (insert campus name)
H: (says my rd name)
R: Oh that’s really strange I’m like 10 doors down. (said before I realised she’s on the other side of the rd…lol. Bit further but still, surprised such a slice of sexiness is so near to me and I didn’t know it)
R: R, nice to meet you (shake her hand). What do you study?
H: Political Science
R: Ah OK I do that, it’s pretty awesome.
Everyone was then leaving, as she was late she had to get the attention of her friend who she was going to her next lecture with (presumably) so I couldn’t talk more. Just got talking to some dudes and walked home. Anyway, at least I opened and we can talk again at some point.

The rest of my Thursday was pretty chill. Studied, tried to rest up and feel less battered from lack of sleep, and just mulled things over. Night game tomorrow!

Life is beautiful.
R

Went out with Jackal's crew yesterday for night game and had the best night of my life. Got two number closes and a date lined up for next week.

Field report will be posted tomorrow. Writing it now, been at a party, bit scattered.

Peace and love,
R

25/01/13

Its Friday already! The week which marks my awakening draws closer to a halt. I truly began pick up on Monday of this week, and have only been able to day game up til now. It’s cliché, but I say this truly: I have learned more in this week about relationships and social relations than I have in my entire fucking life! This sentence is worth reading again….More than I’ve experienced and learned in my entire life guys. Enthusiasm is high, I’m motivated, and I’m enjoying what I’m doing. For me this is really no different from doing a sport now – you get your head stuck in and tough it out, cry in training, laugh in battle! My body is way out of whack with its sleeping pattern. I’m having a lot of fun right now, and life is sweet. Today is night game time, so with no further ado, let me recant to you a tale of my first night game experience which promises to entertain!

I’m in Uni for 1PM, and am taking part in a class when I get a text from Jackal. The text is uplifting and inspiring. Within this digital snipit of text on a screen is a philosophy for life – ‘a boring set has no risk, but a bold approach has fear. Soldiers who’re off to war are afraid and brave at the same time….Everyday your life has to be stronger than last; otherwise we might as well die.’ The Halls of Montezuma are to colour the background of our thoughts today. I’m on my toes at Uni as usual today. There’s a class later on with my crush in it, and I intend to ask her for a date!

That is, I intended to ask her on a date. Time ebbed by, and as fate had it, she wasn’t in the class today. Neither was her friend – looks like they took it off. Let me make you aware of my little dilemma guys. I get IOI’s from this girl often, but I also get them from another girl in another class. Both girls are absolute cuties, but my crush has been much bolder in giving me IOIs. Girl 2 gives me strong IOIs, for instance I sat by her today and the first thing she did as I was sitting down was to rearrange her hair. She totally tossed it and put her hands through it bless her the absolute doll! She also sat in place right at the end when I was getting my stuff together, talking to my friends etc, in hope for me to talk to her. I’ve had this with another girl who I knew had similar feelings for me – she actually was in a lecture theater and held up quite a few people by sitting down pretending to get her stuff together lol, so I’ve detected this to be a IOI. Girl 1, however, has actually starred me out in class and at the end of class to establish her interest. If a girl is going to take that sort of risk to get me into her sphere, fuck it, I’m going to do my bit. It’s 4PM now anyway, and Uni is finished for the day. Keep my crush in mind though, because she makes a return later.

So, Uni’s done. I’ve eaten dinner. I’ve now just got to go out and hit on girls – what a hard life I’ve got right now! Jackal tells me I’m to meet him at 7.45. The first venue is Whetherspoons. I’m chilling out, relaxed, and totally up for tonight. What has changed is I do not any longer need to mentally ready myself up to get out and be sociable. I simply apply the theory of social momentum Jackal taught me – go out and just open sets. Even if it’s just asking for the time! Doing this gets me warm in no time and has been a real brilliant lesson to learn which I will actually apply in all areas of my life. But then came something a little unexpected. Jackal tells me to be at the place for 7:15. I’ve gotta get my ass in gear! I hit the sack for 10 minutes of rest, get up and chuck some suitable clothes on, and head up to the local train station. I’m a 5 minute walk away, but the walk was a little more interesting than usual by the fact that I saw my crush on the way! I was walking up to the station when I saw her staring at me, most likely wondering where I was going as I was jogging just a bit. :p I didn’t look directly at her, just saw her in the corner of my eye. I liked the fact that she was looking though. Had no time to stop and talk to her because I had to meet Jackal.
I get a train ticket, get on the train, and within moments I’m at Whetherspoons dead on time. However…There is no Jackal in sight. I text him, and he tells me to look for his friend David. He’s got a satchel apparently, and I’m to ask around until I find him. So without further ado, I set off to find Dave! I search the venue for men with satchels, and open table after table of people asking for Dave. One set of gentlemen was particularly interesting:

Table of 3 men

R: Hey, your name doesn’t happen to be Dave by any chance?
Guy: Yes it is mate! How can I help?
R: Great, well my friend told me to look for a guy with a satchel. I’m told I need to meet him. Do you know my friend?
Guy: Well what’s your friend’s name?
R: Jackal
Guy: And what does your friend look like?
R: Nevermind buddy. I’ve got to find Dave though!
Guy: Why do you need to find him? You looking for drugs fella? (laughing)
R: No no, if I was looking for drugs I’d talk to this guy (point to a dude on the table wearing Dandyish clothing, hat and waistcoat)

I then went round the table getting names and shaking hands, talking about silly things like getting drugs haha. Then, these guys tried to help me find Dave, and started shouting ‘Dave? Dave!?’ from their table around the pub haha. Was funny stuff.

I then carried on looking, but I grew sceptical. We’ve shouted Dave through the entire venue, I’ve gone from table to table, hell, I’ve asked people if they’ve seen a man with a satchel, all to no avail. The seed of doubt is planted in my head…And then, Jackal arrives. I buy him a drink, we talk, and then we get into our evening. I ask Jackal if there ever was a Dave, and he tells me all will be revealed. I grin of realisation washes over my face. Jackal had me search the place for 30 mins before he got there to warm me up, the ploy was ingenious, and moreover, it worked. I’m now eager to socialise. Momentum has been built.

We’re outside, Jackal gets me to open a beautiful girl working at a food stand:

R: Hey, I think you’re absolutely adorable and want to talk to you for two minutes.
Girl: (smiles) OK
R: Whats your name?
Girl: Lauren
R: I’m R nice to meet you (shake hands). I better move away from this, smelling of fried onions won’t be a good look for me.
Girl: (laughs)
R: So you here many nights of the week?
Girl: I’m here two nights a week at the moment
R: You must get to speak to a lot of drunk people
Girl: (laughs) Yeah, a lot!
R: And you must get hit on 50 times a night
Girl: Not really
R: Really? I’m surprised. The (name of bar) is seriously missing the mark for alpha males
Girl: (laughs)
R: So I’m 2nd year Political Science at (insert Uni), and I want to be a lawyer. Hence the over confidence problems.
Girl: (laughs)
(customers arrive)
Girl: One second
R: No problem (I join Jackal again who tells me to close after the customers are gone)
R: Lauren, I think you’re absolutely beautiful and I want to take you out for coffee next week. I’m really busy, but if you leave me your number I’ll get back to you at some point next week.
Girl: I’m really sorry but I’ve got a boyfriend and a baby (said very sincerely, sounded regretful lol)
R: I don’t care, I think you’re pretty, and I want your number.
Girl: I can’t give it out, I’m so sorry.
R: Lauren, you know what, don’t worry about it. You have a great night! I’ll see you around.
Girl: Bye (smiles)

Go to Jackal, brief him, and he makes me go inside and get pen and paper to write my no down for her! I do this, and go and hand the girl my number.

R: (clicks fingers) Lauren, I’m gonna give you this, and you do what you want with it. (throw number on counter)
Girl: What is it? Oh I’m really sorry but I can’t take it.

I walk away. Hahah bless her what a sweetie, loyal to her BF – there are good ones out there guys! She was cool.

Jackal then opened a large group (was impressive) and our friend Dave also sat down with the set. Jackal had me wait a while before joining the set, which I did after a few minutes. I met a fucking cool guy who I added on facebook. Jackal also introduced me to a group of young guys who’re having a fucking awesome night, took their numbers too, they were making me laugh like hell!

We did well in the place, had our fun, and left. Jackal advised me to always leave on a positive, so had me go round and say goodbye to everyone I had talked to and shake their hands. Felt fucking gooood!
So, on to next place. Was a bar in a nice area of B’ham. We go in, I’ll be honest, now I knew I had to get some closes in, so I was a bit anxious. This disappeared soonish though and I felt like a fricken God.

Jackal directed me to open many sets here, was so much fun. First set was a two set of Asian girls, just had me talk to them generally, didn’t need to close. Dave got one of their numbers at some point in the night. The other one will make an appearance later. I’d sat down with Dave and was speaking to these two Asian girls for a while, til they were joined by more. Jackal told me to go over to any one of them and close – I went over, did some small talk, and went for the close.

R: So, I’ve gotta get back to my friends, but before that I want your number.
Girl: (found her quite unattractive) *giggles* I’ll be waiting downstairs

So, not a no, but not a yes. Asian girls are notoriously frigid with Asian guys. Ah well. I went back to tell Jackal how it went, and he accepted it, but as is becoming a trend, he had a plan.

4 sexy Asian girls walk into the bar – Jackal tells me to open the entire set! I run straight into set and stop them.

R: Stop! I want to get all of your names!
Girls: (giggling and smiley)
(some quick remarks were exchanged here – I engaged two girls, and then targeted on. The other two walked upstairs, but these two stayed)
R: I’m R, nice to meet you (shakes hand and hold on to it). Whats your name?
Girl: (smiling – tells me her name)
R: OK great, and are you based in Birmingham?
Girl: Yeah, are you?
R: Yeah, I’m a 2nd year student at (my uni) studying political science. What do you do?
Girl: I work in HR. (giggles) How old are you?
R: 21.
Girl: I’m 25!
R: You look great (starring deep into eyes). I don’t care.
Girl: (giggling) Sorry darling but I care! (begins walking upstairs, shes happy)
I then open her friend on the off chance I get a close – she’s like no, but I can totes tell she was just jealous cause I went for the close on her friend haha. I was feeling cheeky and high energy so just replied whatever have a nice night and ran off!

Went to tell Jackal how the set went. Jackal told me to re-engage the set! FUARRRRRRRK! Jackal wants me to re-engage a four set...and I’ve gotta do it. No hesitation, I’m off like a rocket to find them….Only, I can’t pin them down anywhere. Might be in the ladies room. I’ve not got time to wait for these bints, so I open two cuties sitting downstairs. One blonde and one brunette.

R: Hey guys. (gesture towards them and pull up a seat, I’m sitting towards one with the other one facing)
Girls: Hey
R: What are your names?
(get each name and shake hands)
Asked what they do, said a hell of a lot about myself etc, but it was ALL aimed at one girl. The other girl was sitting away and couldn’t hear much, but even I looked over to get a comment in, she gave me IOIs!!! This girl was beautiful guys, and when I made eye contact with her she brushed her hair.
Like a fucking idiot, I carried on talking to the girl I was talking to, and then…
Girl: Are you here with friends?
R: Yeah, they’re outside. (starts telling her about my friends)

Shit dude, I got a IOD! Indicator of Disinterest. I didn’t notice at the time, but this should have been a sure fire sign to work the other girl who found me attractive instead. However, me being a damn newbie, I closed IOD girl and failed. She was debating giving me the no, but said no politely. I then was a bit cheeky…

R: OK, well she’s missed her chance, but it’s OK because I actually want to take YOU out for coffee next week. So, I want your number
Girl: (giggles) Oh so you ask her first! No (shes happy)
R: Haha! Well look, I was just joking girls, just wanted to see what you’d say

When I said this, girl who was giving me IOIs looked a bit deflated. This was because I gave her value, which she wanted from me, and I subsequent took it away without knowing. I am an asshole for that and I will not do it again. I learned a lesson though…If you get a IOD, for me personally, fuck that girl. If you’re in a multiple girl set and one gives IOI, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD close the one who gives you an IOI – not the one giving IODs hahaha. Shit what a funny set. I enjoyed it, these girls were cool man. The one who gave me strong IOIs was so fucking hot I’m getting a boner right now…sorry brothers….I’m a young jedi, the force is strong.

After this, I went up to Jackal and told him I couldn’t find the girls so had to open a different set. He was satisfied. However, he had another plan for me. He told me to go downstairs and close the Asian girl who joined the two set earlier on! So, with that, I was off.

I head downstairs and see the girls sitting with a large group of guys. It’s 5 girls, 6-7 guys. I ask one of them if the girl from earlier is still around, and I’m told she’s in the ladies room. I’m also told she has a boyfriend, to which I respond ‘I don’t care’ and carry on. I go to Jackal and tell him I’m not waiting for that bint so will go back after another set, and I talk to some guys for a while with Jackal and Dave. I then go back on the hunt and she’s there, as unattractive, boring and shy as ever. I open her in front of everyone – a gentleman (who it turns out was her uncle!) sees and takes issue with it, he gestures towards me – I get up, lean over to him and say ‘I want to speak to her for two minutes, if she doesn’t like it, I’ll leave’ – the gent is disarmed and carries on talking to his friends. I sit back down. I carry on talking to the girl. I’m pulled aside by a sexy Asian girl and am asked what my intentions are…I say ‘nothing’, and continue. I carry on talking to the set. I can feel piercing eyes from sexy Asian girl – she’s in my face, starring me out. I am completely unphased and carry on talking to the girl…After 5-10 minutes, sexy Asian girl gave up. She had told me several times that said girls boyfriend was on her way. I was unphased. The guys were looking over every so often, but I truly didn’t give a shit, I just talked to her as much as I wanted and bossed the set haha. She bored me to death after 15 mins, and I left! What was interesting was that I was getting amogged by 3 people in this set, the uncle, a cool Asian girl, and a sexy Asian girl. Didn’t fucking phase me one bit and I did my thing unhindered to such that they actually gave up and left me! Confidence is really building guys. Jackal was pleased with me for being able to stay in set here…he was talking to a group of guys, and introduced me to them…’This kid doesn’t take any shit’…Oh yeah

Then came an awesome set. Group of 6 girls. Jackal opened, me and Dave took a girl each. Girl I initially opened was unresponsive, so Jackal told me always take the initiative and said go to the top of the table. The girl I opened there talked to me for half an hour or so . Had a great conversation, she was cool, into me, and I got my first number close from nightgame. I closed this set seamlessly – I told her ‘OK, so before you go, I’m want to take your number. I’m really busy, but I can text you at some point next week. I’ll only text you once by the way, so if you don’t reply, that’s that *slides phone over to her, and she types her no in*’. This set went well as I showed a willingness to way away in talking to other girls on the table, and when she was interrupted by having to pay for the bill, I let her do her thing and chilled for a minute and waiting for her to re-engage me – asking questions about you is an IOI from her. Easy as pie. Jackal told me to close sexy Asian girl from earlier, and I went for it. She gave me the whole ‘Why would I give you my number?’, to which I responded while looking deep into her eyes ‘Because I want it’. She said nothing, she was deliberating in her head I believe, but she was still standoffish. However, by busting her balls for it, she respected me and was unable to reject me. She didn’t speak, we were just looking into each others eyes, and I said ‘You’re gonna miss your chance’ and walked off. I didn’t take shit from this girl. We then decided to change venues, but we did two sets before this. Jackal got me to stop 2 blonde girls who were walking into a bar.

R: Stop! I need to know both of your names.
Girl 1: We don’t want to give you our names (carries on walking, other girl follows)
R: Well that’s too bad, because I want your names. Hey I’m R, nice to meet you *shake hands with girl 2, and hold on)
Girl 2: I’m (name)
R: Ok, nice to meet your darling. Now tell me one interesting fact about yourself. I’ll go first, I’m (insert some bullshit…no idea what I said now lol)
Girl 2: *still holding my hand* I really like (insert some word I’ve never heard before)
Girl 2 was cute as, she was smiling a lot and really happy when I was talking to her. Her friend had entered the place, so I let her go in, but she was very comfortable with me and I think I could have closed this set. I did not want to push her when her friend was inside…So I let her go. The bouncers of the place were smiling at me like ‘You smooth feller’…I smiled back. Felt like a fucking PUA! Enjoyed talking to that girl.

We then saw a 3 set outside a bar. This was a fucking awesome set and I really enjoyed talking to them. At this point, I totally relaxed and just chilled out and chatted. I was completely myself. All the girls told me I was ‘such a nice person’, complimented my dress sense multiple times, and hugged me. I was like oh yeah! The girls finished their drinks and cigs and went back into the bar, but they were pleased having spoke to me. I was so surprised these girls complimented me like they did. I was laughing and having a great time in this set, and their comments just came out the blue. One girl lagged behind the others who’d entered the bar, and Jackal told me to close her. I stopped her and told her as I’d not been able to speak to her as much as I’d liked, I wanted to know a fact about her. She tells me she’s a gymnast! I’m giggly about that and tell her my fact. I then close her. She is very flattered and tells me her boyfriend would be upset, but ‘you can have a hug for being such a nice person’. Bless her. Good set, good interaction, friends made.

We then changed venue, and Jackal had me open a mixed set – two girls and a guy. As it transpired, they were siblings! I opened, we talked for a while, and then Dave and Jackal joined us in set My friends left after 10 mins of conversation and went outside, but I stayed and talked. I enjoyed talking to them. When outside, Jackal told me to go back in a close one of them girls! Here is where the set got very interesting…

R: Hey, the reason I came back was because I thought you were really pretty and I want your number.
Brother and sister: Awww that is so nice.
Girl: Errm (she got pretty shy bless her)
Brother and sister: Abi, give him your number!
Girl: Can I just take your number?
R: Yeah sure
(then began typing it in, she made me ring my phone, but something was up with her phone)
R: Would be much easier if you gave me your number
Girl: (hesitant)
Big sister: Abi, give him your number! You’re letting the side down. Sorry R, she gets like this, but when you were outside she told us that she was interested in you!
Girl: I need to tell you something…I don’t work!
R: I don’t care. I think you’re beautiful and I want to take you for coffee next week.
Big brother: Oh my God that is SO nice!
Girl: (Takes my phone and types her number in, puts her name down – job done)
(we then arranged a date)

I then went back to join Dave and Jackal. I explained how it went, and Jackal told me I won over the sister and brother. They then suggested, because I got a date, I shouldn’t talk to any other women in that venue. As the set was leaving soon to go to a club, I joined them for the rest of their evening in the venue. There, they bought me a glass of wine, and shot for Dave and I, and took photos of me. I was fucking loving it. Girl then got drunk and proceded to tell me more about her…shes a bit of a psycho, 17, and ha a child, so I’m not interested at all, but shit, I closed again. My work here was done. When we were at the bar before Jackal left, Dave told me I’m a natural. Jackal agreed. I was very pleased with their words. They saw me in set, they’re not lying. I’ve got this!

Jackal then left us. I was in the hands of David the Natural. Dave’s game is very different from Jackal’s. I used my time with Dave wisely, he gave me some awesome advice on how to kiss close in a club (body language and explained the dynamics behind a kiss – he says you just need to get proximity and it’s in the bag), he gave me some sex advice and basically eased a lot of my worries on that front, and generally gave me a lot of good, practical advice when it comes to clubbing etc. I believe if I apply what Dave taught me, I will get my first kiss. The rest of the night was very eventful, met some cool people, got another number but was a guy (cool dude), got two free joints off a guy and smoked them amongst nice city architecture. It was half 5 in the morning when I got home, as I was a little baked I slept like a fucking baby. It was so restful. Got free drinks, free drugs, had photos taken of me. Also one Goth girl sang a song about me in the club we went to at the end and told me ‘R, you got it going on!’.

Had the best night ever guys. Seriously. There were real lessons learned here:
1) In a multiple girl set, if you get an IOI, close that girl!
2) Be prepared to bust balls. In that Asian girl set with her family and friends amogging me, I ignored them and had to amog the uncle – Jackal told me that to succeed, you have to be prepared to bust balls. In the set with sexy Asian girl, she wanted to reject me, but I stood strong and asserted myself. She didn’t say shit lol. With the two blonde girls, when one told me ‘we don’t want to give you our names’, I told her ‘well that’s too bad, because I want them’ and was able to really make her friend respond. The lesson here is simple. We must expose ourselves to tough situations, and allow them to make us stronger. Tough sets who try and bust your balls will occur, but we need to roll with them to become better PUAs.
3) Talk slower! Jackal advised me to vary vocal tonality.
4) Do not be afraid to be direct! Jackal told me there will be times where I need to ask for sex in a subtle way...'I want you to come back to mine for some fun tonight....No? Ok, your place then' Haha
5) In Jackal We Trust.

2 number closes and a date (which I’m not going to take up lol) tonight guys. Good night in the office. I am proud to know Jackal and David the Natural.

Peace & Love,
R

Number closed my crush. She is a very, very beautiful girl - 9.5/10 for me. I told her I'm gonna meet her for coffee next week. She's in most of my classes so I'll see how it goes.

Jackal, you are a God among men. You have made me a man. I was at an interview for Co-President of a University Business society (I need this) yesterday, and I absolutely smacked it. Did real well, interviewers shook my hands etc told me to expect the news very soon. Before I met you, this would have been a nerve wracking experience for me. Now, I spoke to them like they were my best friends. How did I manage this? I applied your teachings on social momentum, spoke how you told me to speak, and was so confident the interviewer felt nervous! Everything you've done for me will be made up to you one day, I am working hard at Uni and if I ever make it as a lawyer I'm going to take good care of you.

Anyway, FR of day game on Monday will be posted in a bit. Will also add a FR of the close I did on my beautiful crush.

In Jackal We Trust,

Monday Day Game

It’s Monday again. Monday’s a pimping day! I’m off to sarge with Jackal, and on this day my spirits were very high. I had such an awesome time doing night game with Jackal on Friday to such that I was buzzing for today. I was in bed quite late last night re-drafting a bitch of an essay. Really need to put graft into this one. Hence, I got up late – 9AM. I’m feeling good, mind. I’m knocking the days menial tasks out of the way, shower, breakfast, shave, clothed…ready. Breakfast was over indulgent today – a 3 egg mushroom omelette with two slices of peanut butter on toast, washed down with a strong coffee. I’m fucking stuffed! I enjoy getting the most out of each day - I like to perform each task before me in its proper manner. There are no small things – each sphere of my life must be tended to. I’m a perfectionist. A perfectionist who’s over-eaten and is on the sarge with Jackal in two hours! Jackal has be sprint like 50 meters a set. A bitter pang of regret surges through my body. I need to bring it today, bloated or not! First World Problems or what guys? Haha.

It’s now half 11. If I leave now, I’ll be bang on time. I lace my shoes up, and depart. Once out the door I notice the snow has really been unkind to my footwear, these poor buggers need a lick of polish! Must buy me a bit of that. I digress. Like a shot, I’m at the Station. Coins are inserted into the machine, my ticket is spat out, and my train arrives on time with no delay. It’s all running smooth. At the station I’m briefly held up by running into an old acquaintance. This has put the clock ten minutes against me – I’ve gotta fly! I zip up the stairs towards Victoria Square, ask a gentleman for the time to warm up briefly, and then I make my way up Navigation St in a sprint. Up the stairs at Victoria Square, admire it’s architecture this clear, snow free January day, and head up through Temple Row, and onwards to the meeting place. I’ve been sprinting, and guys, let me be blunt: I’ve got the slightest and most subtle masculine glow to my blazered physique. Dave told me about the powers of pheromones the other day – I always wondered why I get checked out when walking home from a run! Jackal had me run up to a different place where he was lunching today. My thighs are slowly solidifying into a sort of flesy, lactic acid drenched concrete. But when I spot the Jackal, all is well! I catch my breath, and then it’s business as usual. We had a great sarge today. Jackal taught for around 10 minutes, and then had me do sets.

Jackal’s teachings were very interesting today. I listened with intent. Jackal’s wealth of knowledge is very, very impressive. He is actively interested in social psychology, and his understanding of it would allow him to mix it up with academics without feeling out of place. He uses real world examples to demonstrate them, specifically; he talked about the psychology for success with women. His teaching is holistic, and specific to the student. He told me I am the hot one! Not the girl. But ME! He tells me I must not be complacent, and I must not become selective. He mentioned the tendency of PUAs to only go for the hot sets, but the unattractive sets are important. We open these sets to get us into the correct mind frame for socialising, subtleties in our body language and vocal tonality change. We begin to enjoy the interaction, and it strengthens our resolve.

Jackal has me open a set of two girls for a warm up straight off the bar! Two pretty black girls. I open by asking for directions, have a bit of banter and go back to Jackal. Jackal tells me something he tells me a lot, but for whatever reason, it still comes as a surprise: Go back, pick one and close! I run back, stop the set, and go for it:

R: Stop guys. I’m really busy and I need to get to a lecture, but I think you’re beautiful and I want your number! I’m really busy, but I can text you sometime next week. I want to take you out for coffee.
Girl: (smiling, very happy. Her friend has a beaming smile and is looking at me very respectfully) I’m sorry but I’ve got a boyfriend!
R: Bullshit! (laughing) Give me your number!
Girl: No seriously I’ve got a boyfriend (laughing).
R: Ahh don’t worry about it then! You guys have a good day.

Run back to Jackal. They loved it. Cool set!

Jackal has me open a two set of middle aged women, one of which was very overweight and pushing a pram with a baby in it. He wanted me to make an interaction with them:

R: Guys, have you got the time? (walking with them)
Ladies: Yeah, it’s (time)
R: That’s a beautiful baby by the way!
Lady: (laughs) Thank you! (she’s real happy…aw I’m glad I did this set)
R: OK ladies, you have a great day! Bye.

Jackal wanted me to close, but honestly, I don’t think I could have done it seriously. Course I could have asked for her no, but shit, I would have cracked up laughing. I made these ladies very pleased, may have made their day – didn’t want to fuck it up. I am a nice young gentleman. Hah.

Jackal then has me open a two set which was walking towards us…It wasn’t that simple though:

R: Guys! Stop, have you got the time?
Girls: (smiling) Yeah it’s (time)
(two set is joined by two other people – a couple)
R: 12:30, 12:45, which one is it?? (laughs)
Girls: It’s (time)
R: OK, thanks. Have a great day!

Set threw me off when it became a four. I was only warming up, but shit, this would have been challenging. Early in the day, no worries….

Jackal said I must approach unprompted now. He wanted to see what I could do unprompted. I walked around the bustling city centre, warmed up on an overweight set by doing small talk, and then spotted a cute girl.

Girl had lovely, flowing purple hair, and was dressed in the most amazing way. She had some of the best legs/bum I’ve seen in a while.

R: Hey, have you got the time?
Girl: Yeah, it’s (time)
R: OK, that’s great. I’ve gotta get to a lecture, but you look amazing today. I really like what you’re wearing, you’ve got a vintage thing going on. Whats your name?
Girl: Oh wow thanks! I study fashion. I’m Monta.
R: Oh wow! I’m actually into that, not that you can tell today because I’m totally having to run. What accent have you got by the way?
Girl: I’m Latvian (smiling). Eastern European.
R: Oh wow that’s awesome! You live in Birmingham?
Girl: I live in Tamworth (strokes hair – IOI, oh sheet this chick is a HB 8.5. I’m in)
R: OK, that’s awesome. I’ve lived in Bham for 2 years, I’m studying (about my degree @ my uni etc)
Girl: I’ve lived here for 9 years.
R: Ah ok. Look, I’ve gotta get to my lecture, but I think you’re beautiful, and I want to take you out for a coffee next week. I want to take your number. I’m really busy, but I’ll text you at some point next week. (hand her my phone)
Girl: OK! (begins typing her number)
R: That’s great. Put your name in for me too.
Girl: OK (does it, she then goes to save her number and then nearly accidentally presses delete – when she does this shes like ‘nooo!’)
R: Ok, well that’s great. I’ll text you soon, we’ll meet and go for a coffee sometime.
(we hug each other, and I go tell Jackal I closed)

Jackal then tells me to take her on a date right now! I re-engage her, tell her we should go right now for a coffee, but she says she’s busy. I press her, tell her I’m busy but I’ve got 10 mins, but she tells me she genuinely is busy. I tell her I’ll text her, and she’s cool with this.

Funnily enough, I did actually text her today (a day later). She did not reply to me today, I think she may flake. I believe this may be because my text game is in its beginning processes (this was the first girl I’ve texted), but I also believe I should have asked about her interests and established something we’re both into. Part of building attraction is justifying your attraction! I’ve learned that this is an important stage – I should have emphasis the common interest in fashion. Ah well. This was a sexy girl to close though guys. Happy days haha.

I then opened a black girl on her cigarette break, talked to her a bit, complimented her dress sense, was considering closing but she gave me a funny look. I took this as an IOD. I wished her a good day, and she then gave me quite a big smile. Either way, I’m kinda forming the opinion that if you get an IOD from a set, fuck em. They will most likely flake anyway.

I then opened an Asian girl. She was cool, in her second year of a PhD. Talked to her for a while, she gave me a few IOIs – she didn’t give me a hair touch, rather she touched her face a few times when I was talking to her, just around her eyebrows. This, again, is preening – the female inviting the attractive male to groom her. I was laughing and joking in this set, enjoyed it. She was stoked to talk to me haha! She exclaimed during the set: ‘Where did you come from!’ – she was very pleasantly surprised. I then went for the close, and we agreed on a coffee next week.

Girl: I don’t know my number, and that’s for real now! So let me take your number.
R: Sure (tell her my no)

I then gave her a hug and carried on my way. She giggled when I hugged her. Ohhh yeah.

Ran up to Jackal, he was doing a set, and I mixed in and Jackal let me have it. Set was a Chinese girl, not very attractive to be honest, but fuck it. Talked to her a while about music, and closed. She was hesitant, but I told her she’s pretty – she thanked me genuinely, and then I did my usual number close, gave her my phone etc. Got the number.

3 numbers in 30 minutes. Not bad going. I’m buzzing, walking with a spring in my step.

Debrief with Jackal, and we open sets as we go back to our spot. Jackal gives me a mission for this week..

Jackal tells me to ask one of my MALE lecturers out for a drink! He wants me to make it obvious I find him attractive.

I’m shocked. I won’t lie. But I’m listening…

Jackal explains to me, the barriers of society which have been drummed into me can easily be broken. Once I can see this, Jackal believes there will be no holding me back. He has already posed a serious challenge to my beliefs. I’m now to really begin to explore my mind and fundamentally build a new basis for the future I want. Jackal’s advice is holistic, and is tailored to students for a reason. He knows I’m a 21 year old kiss less virgin. He knows I need to change my social world. I’m working on it, but Jackal wants me to knock down the very walls of the reality which has held me back for so long. I’m prepared to do this, because I have no choice, but this challenge is seriously tough for me to accept. Not so much because of the nature of it, but the potential repercussions – what if I need to have a professional relationship with one of my lecturers at a later date? For dissertation supervision, for instance? The logic of his challenge is still very clear though – it’s this kinda bullshit that’s held me back for so long. Don’t bother trying it on with that woman, because you’ll see her at Uni, and it’ll be awkward. What a fucking fool I was. Unless you are going to be physically harmed, there is no reason to avoid situations which you want to indulge in. I've been shut down by sets, in fact I told shut down today (ugly middle aged bint lol), but shit, I'm still here! I'm in one piece, and I'm happy. While I have not completed Jackal’s mission yet, I understand why he told me to do it. And you know what? I may just take the plunge!

Jackal wants me to get to the next level. He wants a F Close from me soon. He gives me some very specific advice, and tells me I'm to be direct in future. I take note.

3 number closes in 30 minutes today - not bad for a newbie!

Thanks for reading as always players,
Peace & Love.
