Hi guys, it was nice meeting all of you. My review of BT:
General: Well organized, well paced, and fun lecture. Gareth was the sole instructor to 3 of us, very personal attention, with lots of jokes and funny stories. Material is clear and concise and makes sense, even to me even though I don't have much experience.
I forget a lot of things so you guys fills stuff in if I leave them out, I'll just write what was memorable to me.
Lecture 1: How to walk/stand? I thought I knew. Very different seeing and practicing in person. Body as the most important communicator. Also, my smile is barely visible! I actually look scared when I smile, and have not realized that my whole life.
Night 1: Scared shitless. Gareth: "you are trembling the whole night." Yea, that's about sums it up. Sacked up though and did my 10 approaches, no drinking at all. Sucks balls, but I did my best. Did get a few responses, but didn't really know how to proceed. I appreciate the way they layer the learning instead of dumping everything on us at once. Gareth and Kyle is kinda strategically placed to watch us and encourage us. They were very supportive, and give positive feedbacks (i suspect they were generous with their comments in order to boost my state). I forget to smile, A LOT. Working on that now. Gareth told us to have fun, and despite being scared, I actually did. I was doing something I have honestly never done before.
Advice for future BC taker: MEMORIZE the opener, COLD. Try remembering to smile, to stand like a man, to kino turn, and then to deliver your opener is hard even if you got the opener down.
Lecture 2: Working on DHV stories. Very cool to have Gareth take apart how I constructed my story, and actually make it cool. One of the girl in the club actually went to the same place I did, and she was blown away by how cool i was, lol. Telling story to a woman is totally different. My story sucks before, and is a lot better after. Body language exercises again, with BLP type of isolation. COOL stuff. Honestly, I am still working on AB and maybe some C, but the stuff Gareth shows is gold.
Night 2: Same club, drank a bit this time. Hooked 2 sets actually, which was cool. But froze up and did not proceed to D. Kicking my self in the ass for not sacking up. It's just a stupid number. I did not even ask. Gareth told me that's pretty much my problem, no aggression, no masculinity. One of the 2 sets I had a mini-isolation, and again something i have never done before, quite proud of myself for that. Still scared shitless though, but approached at least 10 sets this time too. More fun too. Smiled more.
Lecture 3: AMOG techniques I like very much. Not that I enjoy it, or I face it a lot since I am so harmless looking

, but knowing HOW helps with anxiety. Discussed mixed sets. iGame was great. Again, very logical concepts, just in a way that I have never thought before.
Overall very solid experience. LOTS of first times. My expectation was to get a basic framework to work on and to abolish my approach anxiety. Objective one is definitely achieved, the whole system is easy enough to remember under stressful situations, and corresponds well to my belief that anything too complicated is probably wrong. Objective 2 is a bit less successful, but 10 approach sets without alcohol is a record for me, honestly, and I am still trying my best after.
First weekend after bootcamp: Saturday approached 6 sets. ABC's only, again difficulty getting to D. Need to sack up. However, I feel like I see the light, like Neo. There are a few sets that were dragged away from me. I could have BLPed and mini-iso'ed, or went direct. I feel like I know what to do next time same thing happens, as opposed to feeling powerless and rejected like I used to.
iGame: Havn't been using this much. Been only using this on one girl. She loves it, but does not comply with my commands "to lie down in your bed". Slightly confused on this one, but again loves the way this system help escalating. First time trying to get a girl to touch herself fail, but she's still talking to me so can't be bad sign right?
I began working out 2 days ago. Will get a kick ass body by summer. Studying a lot harder too, I feel like doing this have energized my entire life.
Thank you Gareth for coming out and teaching us. You were pretty beat, but you still brought your A game. Kyle, thank you for coming out to help. Thank you J. for the space you provided. Simon and K.H., thank you both for helping me and supporting me during the BT, and encouraging me when I was shaking

. You are all good guys, keep in touch. Finally thank you JT for organizing the program, I learned a lot, and I feel much better about who I am and optimistic about my future with a woman that I love than I have ever in my life. Good luck to you all, I'll try to keep you guys up to date on my progress. Thanks
"Always be better than yesterday"
