Results / Testimonials

Written testimonials are boring and staged photographs are... well staged.  Just because a girl is willing to drink with you at your table, it doesn't mean anything really.

I present to you, legit results from my students.  The proof is in the pudding.



Vegas Bootcamp Nov, 2013

Student flies in from East Coast for first bootcamp and pulls both nights.
 




Two great guys to work with who are super positive and motivated.  I am constantly amazed and impressed with how my clients are in other areas of their lives outside of pickup.  On the road back to LA from Vegas, we discussed logistics on setting up with a girl who seemed interested.  Sure enough, Tuesday night (2 days later), I get a confirmation text.



Vegas Bootcamp Oct, 2013

On a self development work conference in Vegas.  Had a free night to take an infield and then pulled the next night.  Not bad of a trip.





This energetic young man and his friends booked a trip to Vegas.  He had the opportunity to do a 3 day 1on1.  The good thing is that he gets to travel for his job.  The bad thing is that he is currently stuck in Alaska (no sets lol).  He still manages to close 2 weeks later.  I guess girls need body heat in that frigid tundra wilderness.

One New Activity A Month

In a recent Vegas bootcamp, I catch one of my guys stacking the question train to a ridiculous amount.  I counted nine questions in a row.  The fifth question was almost a repeat of the 2nd question.  In attempts to quick fix this for the next set, I asked him some of the places he has traveled and some of the things he has done to prime his mind with some statements he can make immediately after opening.

Well, working 70 hours in a lab for the last few years doing clinical research pretty much sums up 95% of his life.  I think everyone knows this deep down but... in order to sound interesting, you kind of have to do interesting things.  This goes beyond doing some stupid magic tricks.

In this post, I want to cover:

  1. How to find interesting things.
  2. Why knowing just a little bit about a topic goes a long ways.
  3. How things you experience can help you transition to multiple topics and conversational threads.

How to find interesting things.

I am going to keep this simple.  Go to Groupon.com.  You will find tons of interesting things that you have never tried.  (and no I don't make money off this)

  • Yoga, dance, golf
  • Skydiving
  • Hot air balloon
  • Race car driving
  • Wine tasting
  • Snorkeling, kayaking
  • Crossfit, weightlifting
  • Shows, concerts, performances
I strive to do one new thing every month.  Most of these activities range from $50 to $100.  You are looking at saving $15-$25 per week; easily doable.  Try activities that vastly differ from each other.  When it comes to activities, you never know what you like until you actually try it.  I pick activities based on a few criteria which include: how much of a discount, how interesting of a conversation piece, and does it challenge your fears?  If you're afraid of heights, go bungee jumping.  Nothing cures beta than challenging your fears.

Why knowing just a little bit about a topic goes a long ways.
There is nothing wrong with asking questions.  The problem is most people ask too many surface level questions and they never dive deep enough to allow the other person to truly invest and talk about their passions.  Its hard to dive into a topic if you know absolutely jack shit about that topic.
  • Its hard to talk about Diablo 3 if the other dude has never played an RPG and doesn't know WTF a mana pool is.
  • Its hard to talk about Starcraft if the other person doesn't know what micromanagement is.
  • Its hard to talk about Photography if the other person doesn't know what glass, ISO, aperture, and shutter speeds are.
  • Its hard to talk about Bodybuilding if the other person doesn't know what whey protein is.
Just like most people, I don't want to spend a lot of time answering surface level questions just to bring the other person to speed on the topic and thus, as a result, most people just answer "I like it" or "its cool".  Basically the topic never turns into fruition and it dies, leading YOU to likely ask another dumb question.

The beauty of dabbling into a lot of different topics is that you have enough baseline knowledge to make enough smart questions and enough statements to get the other person to open up about whatever topic interests them.  Also, the learning curve on anything is the steepest when starting out, giving you the most bang for your time.  

How things you experience can help you transition to multiple topics and conversational threads.

I will give you an example.  This week, I did a Groupon deal for a hot air balloon ride.  I experienced enough that I can take this story and transition it to a lot of different other topics.  I will give you some examples.

  • Different atmosphere levels and wind speeds; ideal gas law and flotation -> science if shes a nerdy girl
  • History of hot air balloons; it got mistaken for a dragon; why they drink champagne with hot air balloons -> European history
  • Exciting and thrill seeking activity -> scary moments and close encounters
  • Floating over La Jolla / Del Mar -> affluent neighborhoods in San Diego with swimming pools and tennis courts.
  • Saw Janet Jackson's house from above -> didn't see her nude sunbathing, missed out on TMZ moment
  • Found it on Groupon -> interesting activities the girl has done

As you can see, with a simple activity, I just opened myself to a TON of potential conversational seeds.  I like to keep my posts simple and action oriented.  Go ahead and do one new activity this month that you have never done before.  Here are some pictures of the hot air balloon ride :)

Cross Country Road Trip - 10/2 - 10/6 (New York City)

Tues-Sun 10/2 - 10/6 New York City

If Vegas is considered night game mecca, then I guess NYC can be considered day game mecca.  There are sets virtually everywhere.  Since 70% of Manhattan residents don't drive...this leads to them either walking, busing, taking the taxi, or riding the subway.  The result is you having lots of encounters with girls walking everywhere.  Furthermore, the city has a high concentration of single females... which is the reverse that of California.  California is actually quite a cockfarm despite wannabe models and aspiring actresses.



Since living conditions are tiny, most places in Manhattan don't include a kitchen.  This explains why most people in NYC eat out all the time.  Wouldntwantanewyorkerforawife.jpg.  Eating out and always walking outside does promote more social skills.  I do feel a different vibe when I encounter NYC girls.  Their personalities on average are different than that of LA girls.  LA people drive everywhere and thus, tend to be in their own personal bubble all the time. NYC is definitely one of the major cities to check out on the east coast.  I think the top 3 of my choice obviously were the ones I had visited before; Miami, Washington DC, and New York.  Washington DC is more for the culture.  Pickup is terrible there.

The only downside of NYC is logistics.  Perhaps I haven't been there long enough but parking and the public transportation all seem like a pain in the ass.  Everything is tiny and dirty.  I had to download an app just to figure out the subway station.  During the day time, we parked our cars near Times Square, the parking bill was 55 dollars.  I haven't sarged in Europe but I would guess day game is similar to that of London? (speculating here, London seems like a great place with lots of international girls).

Times square is full of people for day game but it is touristy.   For night game, we ended up going to the meat packing district and also lower east side to a place called Pianos.  There we bumped into quite a few RSD guys and also Psych who were all running bootcamps there.

Alpha Video



A lot of videos tell you about what works and what doesn't from a conceptual point of view, however, its nice to see a video where they do head to head simulations on how to be alpha and what works and what doesn't.

I think most people are aware of the concepts shown in this video but actually seeing it done is pretty cool.

The two biggest things that resonated with me are:

1.  Size matters.
2.  Fake it till you make it.

Sheer size alone will prevent most guys from coming to AMOG you.  Yes you can make up for it with body language and strong lock-in body positioning with the girl, however you have to put more effort in making your sets more solid and guys will be judging you from a distance and they won't see how you will react till after the fact.  I can tell from personal experience, its very rare for guys to come into my set even if I am doing poorly.  Basically just work out, and get big.  The video demonstrates the two scenarios between the big guy and the small guy pretty well.

The second one is fake it till you make it.  There are a lot of misconceptions about the term congruence.  Yes be congruent to yourself and your true path, if its a GOOD thing.  However, if you have bad habits and you know it will negatively affect your set, DO not attempt to be congruent with your bad behaviors.  Instead, FAKE it till you MAKE it.  If the set is high energy and you're tired and you don't feel like approaching, do not be congruent with your low energy behavior.  Fake the energy level to match the set or you will get blown out.  Ever open a set that is dancing and jumping up and down and you open with a quiet weak opener?  Boom, instant ignore and blow out.

If you are pulling a girl out of the venue and you are unsure of yourself.  Do you be congruent and act like you are unsure because that's how you feel on the inside?  Fuck no!  Fake it till you make it.  Pretend like you know what you're doing and where you're going.  Walk like you're sure of yourself while you're scrambling on your Android Yelping the next best pull location lol.  I noticed its okay to ask for directions as long as you're not stopping and hesitating.  For example, if I am in Vegas and I am lost while pulling, always ask the guys in suits and earphones for directions rather than walking around lost.  After acquiring directions, give them a high five or a fist pump and make it seem like you know the guy.  Social proof while acquiring logistics.  Double win!

Lastly, displaying alpha body language like holding your hands in the air and making a scream in the beginning of the night will help you punch through those initial approach anxiety barriers.

Peruvian Day 2 at Comedy Show

Comedian:  We got a diverse crowd up in here tonight!  (looks around at the front isle).   We got some Black people, we got an old rich White man, and we got an Asian dude fucking a Mexican girl! (referring to me and my day 2)

Girl: I'm not Mexican

Comedian:  Are you Asian?

Girl:  Nope

Comedian: WTF, there can only be two options.  What are you going to tell me you're from Mars?

Girl: I am Peruvian

Comedian:  Same shit as Mexicans except with llamas!


LULZ.


I love getting the front seat at comedy shows.  The effect is far different than sitting way in the back.  You pick up on way more things from the comedians.  You also get called out a lot since most comedy places do not have a ton of Asians.  Furthermore, if you are with a non Asian girl, aka White, Latina, Black...the comedians usually say some pretty funny shit; either that or they're flat out confused.

When you get called out, some times its good, some times its bad.  I'll share one of each.  One time I took a Black girl out on a Day 2, and the comedian was Mexican.  He asked who there was on their first date.  I raised my hand.  He literally went on a 10 minute bit about Asians and small dicks (to a Black girl).  This was 2 years ago and I didn't get the lay.  Fuck you comedian.  Its not like Mexicans are known for big dicks.  Some have small ones, I been to LA fitness locker rooms.

On another occasion, I took a White girl to the comedy club, the guy asks who was on their first date and I raised my hand.  He made us get on stage and bought us each two shots.  Then he made us make out in front of the entire audience.  Winning.  I did end up closing that night.

You win some and you lose some... but you always have a good story.  How does this relate to pickup?  Comedians are some of the best cold readers out there and they will always have something to say after your answer.  That is the essence of a natural.  Naturals don't need routines.  They can take a boring ass response to "where are you from" and turn it into something funny or tease the girl.  You can't take cameras or recording devices to a comedy show but you sure can take a pen and paper.  Take some notes while you're there!

To some of my nosy readers out there.  The Day 2 went fine.  She was into me physically, no much game was needed.  I'm not going to the nitty gritty details unless its funny or game mechanics related but she is driving an hour to hang out with me next weekend.  Watch, I'm going to jinx myself and shes going to find my blog like they all do last minute and I get flaked on... FML.  The comedian was Jay Phillips.  Funny guy.  If you haven't already added the Improv on Facebook, make sure you do.  They give free tickets all the time

Cross Country Road Trip - 9/26 - 9/29 (Miami)

Thurs-Sun 9/26 - 9/29 Miami, FL

I am back from my road trip but I want to keep writing about my experiences.

We were in Miami for about 3 and a half days.  We got an mediocre hotel on South Beach because that's where most of the partying was located.  Parking was costly and difficult and the hotel was fairly expensive for what its worth.

The first night out was Thursday, we checked out LIV.  Its probably the biggest club on the east coast, ranking just below a few of the top Vegas clubs like XS, Hakkasan, Marquee.  They fucking charged us 60 dollars for cover on a Thursday night.  It can be as high as 200$ on the weekends if a hot DJ shows up.  The poor 35 year old girls beside us also had to pay 30 dollars LOL.  I think for a girl, that probably hurts your ego even more when you have to pay and the 21 year old right next to you walks right in for free  Because there are less competition and less big clubs in Miami, they are more selective and anal about letting certain people in.  Can you imaging a bunch of PUA guys all trying to get in?  Hard as hell.  The clubs here open at 11:30pm and go to 5am in the morning, even later than Vegas.



Now back to how it relates to pickup...  
There is no patio in LIV, its one of the loudest, most heavily bass sounding venues I have been to; not very good for conversations.  I also noticed a lot of ugly older dudes with not much game hoarding all the tables and that's where all the hot girls are.  The average age of men inside were older than what I have seen in LA and Vegas and a lot of them did look like chodes which leads me to believe that a lot of girls here are looking for men of wealth.  This doesn't necessarily mean that you can't game them, its just harder to even approach and also they are looking for a different agenda.  A lot of girls are immigrants from other countries.

While walking on south beach we opened quite a few sets.  The demographics here are different than that of west coast.  West coast latinas are typically Mexican.  Miami latinas are more diversified including Puerto Rican, Central American, South American (Brazillian).  Also you see a lot of eastern European as well.  Conversations opened pretty well. The place does seem day game friendly.   You also see a lot of average looking girls though.  Don't assume that its just all hot babes laying around everywhere because its not true.  South Beach is one of the few beaches were girls tan with their tops off.  Bring a pair of sunglasses so you don't seem like a creeper.

During the other nights, I was teaching boot camps. We went to Clevelander and Mango Tropical cafe.  The Venues were mehhh.  Can't compare to Vegas.  Miami supposedly has one of the highest concentrations of single women, making it a city that is favorable for dating if you are a man.  If you like Latinas and a lot of European, the beach, and a change of scenery, check it out.  Its certainly prettier than Vegas.  However, if you want to practice pickup with logistical efficiency, sheer number of sets... of course Vegas hands down.

One of the popular venues on South Beach is Nikki Beach and is popular on Sundays.  We didn't have time to check it out but I wanted to.  I would have slapped on my bright orange short shorts and did some beach game but we went to Key West and then started heading for NYC.

Quick Update

Whats up everyone.  I'm back from my 30 day road trip.  I've been in Vegas for the last 2 weeks running bootcamps.  I am not next to my desktop back in Cali so making updates have been challenging.

A lot of things have happened and I will be posting a lot of pickup and personal learnings on the blog.  Here are updates and posts / videos to come...


  • I got a new condo on the Las Vegas strip.  Just got the keys and paperwork done recently.  Its on the north end and I can get to XS nightclub within 3 minutes of leaving the garage (logistics winning!).  This will be my Vegas home base and I will be running bootcamps here.  It can hold a lot of people and the students on my bootcamps can stay here the weekend for free.  As students, you guys are welcome to pull to this pad as long as you don't jizz all over my walls and bedsheets.  Thanks.




  • Been hitting up strip clubs lately.  I even snuck my camera in one in New Orleans and recorded an hours worth of interaction with a stripper.  I will probably have a video up soon with blurring of course.
  • I made friends with a few Vegas locals and a few promoters here; learned a lot of insights about the types of local girls in Vegas, their nature, and also what its like to game on industry nights (Sun - Thurs).
  • I still need to update about my experiences in Miami, New York City, and Chicago during my road trip as it pertains to pickup.
  • I have complete pull videos that needs to be updated.  These are hour long videos and I need to blur out everything and put subtitles for the conversations.
  • I also have a lot of student footages.  Some clips might relate to you, some are comical, and some include pulls too!

When I am back to Cali this weekend, I plan like to make daily posts to hopefully catch up on the lack of content within the last few weeks.

Cross Country Road Trip - 9/23 - 9/24 (New Orleans)

Mon - Tues  9/13 - 9/214 New Orleans, LA

I'll tell you right now, New Orleans is not a great pickup place.  First of all, its known for its food, and what does food cause? Fatasses.  I wasn't even impressed with the food all that much; the gumbo was all pre-made.  The Oysters were pretty good though. Acme Oysters was a great place.

The streets of New Orleans were fairly dirty and wet.  Rain comes unexpectedly and multiple times throughout the day.  We hung out mostly near downtown and also the French Quarters.  The weather is hot and humid.  The humidity was near 80%, and I swear to god, walking one block in New Orleans will cause you to have a wedgie.  When you're hot and sweaty, it throws you out of the pickup mindset.  Even if you get a girl, shes going to be sweaty and nasty too.  Sorry, I'm OCD and germophobic.

We were there on a Monday and Tuesday, perhaps it would be much busier on the weekends.  Also, I am sure street game would be pretty cool during Mardi Gras.  I wasn't there then so I can't give you the assessment.  The demographics of the locals are mixes of Blacks and Creoles.  If that's what you like, go for it.  I'm mostly into Asians, Whites, and Latinas, so not that many sets on top of a slow Monday and Tuesday night.  

We did go to a strip club later in that night.  There were quite a few of them along Bourbon street within the French Quarters.  Instead of paying for lap dances, I talked to a girl and bribed her with Beignets (French donut from Cafe Du Monde) LMAO.  I ended up getting an hours worth of lap dances for free.  My student who tagged along with me on the other hand thought he could game the stripper.  I had told him that one of my other students fucked a stripper at Sapphires in Vegas on a bootcamp once.  Its a different story because the student who pulled paid 150 for a VIP place in the back, but he also knew a secret hiding spot within the strip club.  Technically a stripper could get into a lot of trouble for that.  Anyways, my student in New Orleans believed all the IOIs were real LOL!  He spent 450 bucks for 45 minutes in the private room in the back.  My god, I wanted to punch him in the face.  I happened to sneak my camera in there and got some footages  Another thing that annoys me, strippers can sense if you have game.  Most will talk to me for 5 minutes and ask if I want a lap dance and will leave if I say "maybe".  However, when she sees a fucking old white guy, she will flirt with him for 30 minutes!  See acting like a beta chode isn't that bad in a strip club!
