Real PUAs Secrets of Getting Girls: Wrabbit!

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Good evening and welcome to our Real PUAs series, where we track down PUAs who are good at game and find out their secrets of getting girls. You can’t put numbers on this – it’s just a pure description of game.

Before I officially launch the player profiles, I’m going to subject myself to the same process the other guys will go through. Sort of like how all cops must get tased before they can carry a non-lethal piece.

Like this. But intentional.

Goals with game?
I’m looking for my dream girl, and along the way I want to have a lot of wild and crazy adventures.

Where do you typically meet women?

I’ve done some day game, but it’s mostly lounges and clubs.

How you typically open up in bars and clubs…
Most of the time I’m too lazy to think of some line, so I usually keep it simple. If it’s one or two girls I’ll be direct most of the time. If it’s a larger group I say whatever comes off the top of my head which usually ends up being entertaining in a really dumb way. At least to me.

Do you have any women in your life right now?
Yes I do. I’ll leave it at that.

How has your love life improved since you learned this stuff?
Looking back it’s been a pretty dramatic change, though it took a few years and I didn’t notice at first. Keeping a journal helped me track how dramatic the change was.

Your perspective on women
A lot of guys see this pick-up thing as a battle or some kind of war. This is a big WTF to me. The girl wants sexual intimacy with someone she desires just as much as the guy does, it’s just society or circumstances that subvert this from being expressed. It’s anything but a conflict, it’s about building up something positive with someone who really just wants the same thing. And banging them utterly senseless.

An iconic moment that defines your game in a nutshell?
I once met a girl who made every sentence out of her mouth into a challenge. She wouldn’t believe anything I said. I bounced it right back at her without batting an eye. We dated for a few months.

Some of your best tips on game, from your experience?

Self-reported greatest weakness

Look! A squirrel.

I’ve got a very short attention span when it comes to women. If a girl isn’t into me fast, I’m out like lightning. This is good on some levels, but I take this to an extreme. My “slow burn” game (a Braddock specialty) suffers as a result, and there are many times where I could have built a connection with a top quality woman if I had just put in more effort and taken things slower.

Self-reported greatest strength
When I’m ON, I can tease and banter with the best of ‘em.

(OK so this is the part where I’m supposed to give my observations of the player in question after seeing them in action. Since I’d rather not try any fake pseudo-third-person mental wanking, I asked a friend to evaluate me here. Here’s what he said)

Observed weaknesses
“[One night] we went out with 2 girls at this club. It seemed at times he was pretty aloof to the girl he was interested in. That came off as weird to them or a bit awkward.”

I was losing interest in that girl. See what I mean? That’s also a hazard of my style of game, as my friend describes:

Observed strengths
“He seems to have a very relaxed demeanor in set. It seems to be very cool calm and controlled. Other people do really high energy stuff and want to be the center of attention. But it seems like his approach is more low-key in general.”

You don’t have to be super-high-energy party guy to do well. You can get a girl engaged in the interaction with normal conversation, spiked with game here and there.

“Dating is  boring. The pattern of interaction or VIBE is normal… normal… normal… SPIKE… normal… normal. It’s not SPIKE SPIKE SPIKE SPIKE like a lot of the internet material would have you believe.”
- Braddock

“He seems very confident going up with the approach. He seems to not really care one way or the other if he gets a negative reaction. It’s good to not feel like you need to be validated by the outcome.”

A lot of this is because I’ve taken Braddock’s advice on Approach Anxiety to heart, especially where he quotes Jim Rohn:

“We suffer one of two things. Either the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. You’ve got to choose discipline, versus regret, because discipline weighs ounces and regret weighs tons.”

“I’m also seen him go direct before. And I think that that’s a strength to be able to pull that off and do that in a relaxed manner.”

Direct game is high risk, high reward. It takes confidence to do well but it’s great if you’re in a rush, and as Jeremy Soul teaches, perfect for day game.

That’s it for our first standard Player Profile… look for more coming up!

Vegas: Dating Lessons from a Butterfly

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

(originally written October 2009 – but still fresh!)

How I conquered the Everest of confidence killers one breezy Vegas night, bonus camera game tips, and the world’s smallest dating coach

IN THE CLUB FRIDAY NIGHT

October 2009 at The Love Systems Super Conference.

I’m a wreck.

I’ve talked to 6 groups of girls. I’ve opened, I’ve gamed, and nothing has worked. I’m starting to wonder what’s wrong. Girls have phantom boyfriends, small bladders, and even phantom girlfriends excusing them away.

Keychain points out that my body language and voice tone are completely off. What’s strange is, these traits were solid after a previous bootcamp. Now I’m not even aware of my approval-seeking behavior. I say they’re just new bad habits I gotta shake, but a growing knot of anxiety gnaws at my stomach.

Keychain points out a seated pair of girls taking a picture. What luck! Years of club photography never failed me as a social crutch. I walk up, offer to take their photo, then cheekily take my own instead (a classic move). Then I “get the best camera angle” which of course requires me to sit next to the girl I’m interested in.

I flirt for 30 seconds then we get kicked out of our table which actually belongs to someone else. The girls leave. Keychain says “Go get her number” so I walk over and… no dice.

DAMN!

I was on top of the world when I got here. I was perfectly buzzed, having a great time, chatting with the guys, and nervous but ready. What’s happening?

FREEFALL

A memory hits me. Three weeks ago. Back home across the country.

The Butterfly

The butterfly

A butterfly lands on my shoulder and stays there. It rides with me across town as I make my last moving trip. The instant I open the truck door, it flies out and lands in a tree in front of my old house. The butterfly just traveled, at its scale, the same distance I’m about to travel.

WINGS

Keychain steps aside and we have a heart-to-heart talk.

A little while back, I tell him, I sold everything I had, hopped in my car with the clothes on my back, and drove to LA. I was sick of my corporate job, sick of a one-horse town, and hungry to start my own business.

Friends and family said I was nuts. And maybe they’re right.

Out there I’m crashing on a couch and searching for customers. I’m worried. Cold reading experts say all problems boil down to health, wealth, and relationships. And wealth’s my block.

We’ve all got hang-ups. It’s natural. It’s human. And game brings you to your edge, where hang-ups can’t hide. You just have to deal with them.

We philosophize, make jokes, and Keychain gives me a helping hand out of my funk. Not as a professor or guru, but as a friend.

And what did the butterfly teach me? That even through the unknown, it found a home.

MINUTES LATER

I sit next to a pretty brunette. We flirt, almost kiss, and set up a Sunday date.

A weight was on me. And now it’s gone.

I’m flying again.

POSTSCRIPT

At the time of this writing back in 2009, Keychain was helping assist as an approach coach; he’s now one of the most respected instructors for Love Systems.

Also since then, my business has taken off and now I’m enjoying urban life in downtown L.A.
