Prior to attending this boot camp, I had been a very fortunate soul in being with the women that I have been with. I was born and raised in Germany, also very fluent in German. Picking up women in Germany was easy for me because of the uniqueness of being able to speak German, Americanized English, and Tagalog all fluently without residual accents. I was married for 5 years and when I divorced, I played the numbers game of picking up women. Meaning, if it took me 100 tries to talk to women to get 1 number I would do it. I just wanted to stop being reliant on luck and actually grow to be a legitimate PUA in my own right (the goal of being a man whore
). I've been married, then divorced and have been in several LTR. I want to play the field again for a long time.
My boot camp instructor was Gareth Jones. I already had a positive impression of him when he greeted me at the door enthusiastically with an upbeat attitude. The classes began immediately. The class size was rather small; there were only 3 of us. For the first 4 hours of lecture instruction, the massive amount of information was extremely overwhelming. We went out that night with the goal of just doing 10 kick starts, focusing primarily on A's and B's. The venue we went to had some very gorgeous women. Gareth was always around to ensure that we were doing what we were taught and always got us to approach targets. I accomplished my goals that night, but I felt awkward because I kept wanting more and kept wanting to do more. I also understand that this first night was to get any AA down to manageable levels. My AA was probably at about 3 at the beginning of the night, but after a couple of kick starts, I didn't really have any AA. My main problem was that I bailed after BT and didn't stay for any further conversation.
The second day of lecture was even more overwhelming. It was more information to apply towards the lecture from the day prior. That night, the venue of choice was a club where we all put in for a VIP table. The goal that night was number close or kiss close if you could. I didn't have any AA and approached every girl at will. I had trouble transitioning ABCD's and just ended up being a "talker" because I'm rather gifted in gab and bullshitting, rather I took the wiki effect to different levels and didn't create attraction. I have to give a massive amount of props to a class mate who had all the stereotypes of being a FOB and stereotypical Asian. This man stepped up in a major way and managed to bring back girls to the VIP section and got their numbers. He definitely did not let self-limiting beliefs get in the way. My other classmate and myself failed. I had specific instructions from Gareth on how to bring the girls back, which I followed to the finest detail. I didn't realize it until the end of the night, what my main problem was. Gareth says I have everything women would want, muscles, looks, style, but he busted me out on something I realized was true. I was not being more alpha, as in displaying the type of attitude to get girls to follow you. Yes, I followed the guidelines on CT, but I was not alpha enough. I was a respected leader in the Army and I will start applying some of the leadership skills I learned to appear more alpha.
Third day was just lectures and the rest of the ABCDEF modules of this system and covered on the mistakes made during both days of the field exercises. No planned evening venues. THANK GOD! I was exhausted and would of passed on from going.
First of all, I'd like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to Gareth for being totally cool, down to earth, and accommodating. I'd also like to thank his friend Mike for letting us chill at his house for the boot camp.
Overall, this camp was probably the best thing I have done to make myself realize that I need to go out there and get what I want because it's not going to come to me. Gareth did an outstanding job of giving clear, concise lectures that were simple to understand (just a fuck ton of info, LOL!). He was like that same sergeant who took the time to groom me into being a better soldier and leader. I also realize that from this, the only growth I'm going to experience is growth that I put work into.
This boot camp has given me the fundamentals and it's up entirely to me and me only to progress to the level where picking up women becomes second nature. This is a well structured program that has logical, systematic, and functional fundamentals that actually apply to life holistically.
I actually resume my quest to finish my undergraduate the following Monday. When I'm done studying or have my academics well maintained, I'm going to reorganize my notes (they're written all over the work book) to the ABC.. structure and make mp3's of everything for myself. My ex-gf has also moved into my house or she'd be homeless. She agreed to be my practice partner, wing girl, and assistant relevant to this. Future field reports will be in about 4-5 weeks, I want to make sure the other aspects of my life stay in equilibrium, primarily my academics, though.
Again, I'd like to thank Gareth Jones for the awesome instruction, ensuring that we were doing what we were taught, and for just being a cool ass dude!!!
