VA Boards

Did something happen to the VA boards while I was away?

I'll also use this space to thank everyone for their welcomes back, instead of posting a comment that nobody'll read on my earlier post.

I'm Back

Hey guys, I'm back again. It's been a long couple of weeks without my sarge fix, and it's had a horrible effect on me. Though I passed all my courses, I've developed a disease...Oneitis. It's bad too, this isn't like anything I've felt before. I can't even quite place why I'm so attracted to her...but she makes me crazy inside.

Before I could constantly dream about going out with the one girl I'm crazy about, and then I would ask her out and she would LJBF me.

But now I can have her.

I've attracted her, I've qualified her, I bring her on a day two and shes lying on top of me. The doggy dinner eyes are staring me down and I have to force myself to resist. It's tearing me apart even though in all honesty it's my own fault.



I think this may just be a byproduct of not getting out in the field. So hopefully I can bust it by going crazy this summer. I'm going to try and go out sarging at least 5 days a week. There is also a two week long festival thats going on in July so me and my wing are planning on going every day. If that doesn't work then I don't know what will.

I've also started to write in a journal...this is helping me a lot since I haven't been able to find interest in anything but Pickup and it's very relaxing to reflect on my thoughts. Not only that but writing has never been one of my strong points and I think that by writing regularly I can improve it.

Anyways, I'm back and I'm ready to dive in headfirst. I hope you guys like reading because this summer is going to be one to write about.


Edit:

P.s. By the way...where the hell is TJ?

Let's just not be friends

Hey guys, long time no talk. Hope you're all doing well.

I've got a bit of a unique problem, and I'm interested in your thoughts. Some of you might remember I asked about what to do about the fact I got roped into going to prom with someone I did not want to go with. I ended up just going with her, and even though I think I made it pretty clear that I wasn't interested in her, she's now pestering me to hang out with her. She's not attractive, she's annoying and awkward, and I'm not really interested in spending a lot of time with her. However, not only is she LSE enough that I'm worried about seriously hurting her feelings, but we also have a bunch of mutual friends. In other words, I don't want to pull the typical HB act and have her end up angry and brooding like an AFC would. She just sent me a message asking me if I wanted to hang out with her at some point during the next week. How should I respond to this?

In other news, I'm done with my junior year of high school, so I can finally start sinking back into pick-up.

Mindsets that I have been observing.

So, for over five years of non-stop observation of personalities -- especially LSE type of personalities -- I've come to realize that a lot of us human beings are pretty much alike.

I'll give a personality to talk about. This personality is an example of social violation. Alright, has anybody ever seen how sociopaths react to murders? They look like humans, act normal, but are really crazy? Well, like sociopaths, there are socioidiots out there too. I would like to call out on my sister-in-law, AKA "The Bitch". The way she acts is pretty much what everyone really hates. I dunno how my brother deals with it.

But anyways, here are the symptoms of what I would like to call "Socioidiot":

-Disagreeing with all open-minded opinions.
-Using ad hominems in an argument.
-Holding grudges for little shit.
-Accusing people by using empirical evidence.
-Being loud.
-Acting really Joeish. Think of Mehow, but more than that.
-When vulnerable, the socioidiot would use ad hominems.
-Easy to manipulate and control.
-Arrogant and rude.
-Smartass.
-Know-it-all attitude.
-Starts arguments, but never continue with them.

One of the personalities that I've seen as a sign of LSE. My sis-in-law was this fat fugly bitch back then and it's shaped her to how she is now. All of her sisters are hot models (literally HOT). I think the jealousy from this is the reason she is why she is how she is. Crazy, but I see it.

Okay, I've really been having MAD issues with my sis-in-law. We literally don't get along. My brother gets married to her in October (which, I would like to say, "Fuck both of them because I ain't wasting my time. So, I'm not going.").

Literally though... My friend tried to commit suicide and she said that he was stupid and that he should of died. Some shit. However, when her cousin got killed in an suicide accident from a car crash, she was like, "Rest in peace." Shows her class... There's other people like this, too that I've met.

So, it's now a new day. Wednesday as of now. Anyways, I've noticed another LSE personality. This one comes from my older brother. I would like to call it the "Jealous dude". Here it is:

-Very calm and relaxed at first, but high tempered.
-Often opinionated in terms of what's moral and immoral.
-Very sarcastic and rude.
-Weak reasoning in decisions.
-Very conservative.
-Jealous of people by the qualities they possess (like my brother is jealous of me because I sing).
-Narrow-minded when it comes to controversial issues, but open-minded when it comes to anything NOT controversial.
-Big shit-talker.

A personality I've seen in a lot of old-heads. Especially the Khmer ones here. I would like to call this the "Monogamist". Here:

-HATES polygamy.
-Hates guys who commit adultery.
-Stuck to only one girl for half their fuckin' lives.
-Not happy with their marriage.
-When talked about marriage, they hate guys who have been with more than one women.
-Very traditional and conservative.
-Very narrow-minded when it comes to social issues.

Another personality that I've seen are clearly in the gangs around here. I tend to know everyone, so this is what I found in the "Gang bang persona":

-Usually chill and laid back.
-Open-minded.
-Honest with each other, but dishonest with personal issues.
-Fun and playful when with friends, but on guard when around strangers.
-Don't give a fuck mindstate.
-If they think someone is low value, they would show that through derogatory terms like the word "bitch".
-Very weak decision makers.

Now, I would like to speak about the "Tough guy image". If you've ever watched the shitty new season of A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila (ugly ass ho), you've probably seen the way Chad and Jay act. I actually know people who are like that in real life and have fucked most of them up (the ones I met). Here's how they are:

-Rude, arrogant, ignorant, etc.
-Grudge holders.
-Jealous of others' personal qualities.
-Total AMOG.
-Sociable.
-Weak decision makers.
-Don't give a fuck attitude.
-Hardly ever thinks.
-Says the stupidest things during the most serious times.

There was a recent incident regarding me walking home from the bus and when I was walking, two white boys (both were high) walked past me and said, "What's up Wong Hong, homie?" I knew they saw my body, but I bet they didn't know that I do MMA part-time as a fighter and a coach. So, I literally turned around and said, "Hey, you. You say something? Well, I heard it. Stop looking at my dick. If you wanted to suck, you could of paid me or something." The guys looked intimidated and walked around the corner. From what I was taught, racism shows a lot of LSE issues. The guy came up to me and said the DUMBEST thing possible. When they walked away fast, I knew they were concerned.

The littlist things that people do in terms of their body language, their opinions, and their reactions shows LSE. From walking away fast to ignore conflict to saying they hate guys with more than one women in their lives; to the guys who shut up when confronted.

It all shows LSE. LSE is a really big issue and it's a mindstate that's conditioned to be like that due to influence of what happened to the individual. It's all comes from experience when it comes to LSE.

Thanks for reading.

FR: Plowing Through

Hey guys I'm sorry to say that this will probably be my last post until my exams are over. I need to do pretty good to keep my marks up and Pickup is by far the largest distraction I have ever had in my life =). I am afraid that becoming a PUA has become my only real goal right now besides passing school, all I do is sarge, think about sarging and read about pickup. This is probably bad for me but I'm extremely happy. By the way Mehows e-book is fantastic thanks for the suggestion I-Man!

So me and my wing have stepped up our game a little bit, were now trying to hit a large number of sets in day game. Our goal was also to tackle our fear of moving targets. This is how our strategy was working on Friday. We would find the busiest section of the mall and sit on a bench and just wait. Every single time a set walked by we jumped up like they owed us money and took off. As we caught up to them (the good sets in the mall seem to walk EXTREMELY fast) I would simply ask over my shoulder:

Shadow: Hey! How old do you think this guy is? Points to wing

I don't get why this opener works so well but it's by far the best one in our arsenal. I simply stack to a story about getting ID'd somewhere. They always ask how old you are which you can make them guess too.

At first we weren't doing too well, we could not get the set to stop! Eventually we would find that instead of trying to gradually walk slower we would stop almost drastically. Still we never got too far into A2, our mistakes were easily recognizable however and we would soon discover the beauty of plowing.

So we decide we'll check out the food court for any seated sets as this was another fear of ours and we are drastically trying to reach that point where we can approach any girl we see: Walking, Sitting, Standing or Eating. So we see this 4 set sitting down, this is kind of how the logistics were when we sat down:


So we used the opener mentioned earlier. As usual it hooked just fine the only problem is the conversation kept falling flat. This was happening all day and I know the reason now is because I'm finally getting a good handle on my A1 and now my job was to get through A2. This time when it fell though, I just didn't stop. I acutally remember thinking "Fuck you, I'm the center of attention here, not your friends, I'm going to talk and your going to listen." I don't know what I said, some DHV story or something...this happened twice and the third time something happened...all 4 of them turned to look and listen to me...I felt fantastic. Then my wing was a miracle worker:

Wing: Hey so I didn't get your names

Group: Introduces themselves to wing

Target: Hey what's your name?

Shadow5a: Ron Burgundy

Obstacle: No common seriously!

Wing: No it actually is! His name is Ron Burgundy Richards!

Set: Oh my god that's crazy!

Group laughs

Shadow5a: Oh my god you guys are so gullible!

We added this to our stack of routines, but this one was for winging the other guy. I like this because my wing introduces himself and asks for names which then gives the option for the set to ask for mine. I think this is similar to a compliance test. So from there I can stack to some C&F stuff (I actually made up the Ron Burgundy thing on the spot).

Now heres were the problem struck. I felt I had enough attraction to isolate the target while my wing held the obstacles but I didn't know how to go about doing it and I pussy footed around and ejected. Later on I thought of doing this Style move:

Shadow5a: Stands up Give me your hand extends hand to obstacle

Obstacle1: Ok...

Shadow5a: Ok now spin! spins the obstacle and promptly steals seat next to target

Any ideas on this type of situation? I think I should have just directly asked the target to come sit somewhere else with me. I still felt good, one of the best parts was when we got up, they made to leave...the only reason they were still there was because we were entertaining them.

State was ON and we opened probably the hottest girls we have yet. Not only were these at least 9's but they were moving and we got them to stop no problem. Our mistake (and the one I'm kicking myself for now) is that transitioning to A2 I started talking to my wing and they lost interest and ejected.

Big progress this weekend! Not only have I progressed through A1 and am starting to get the hang of cold approaches me and my wing found another guy interested in sarging. We took him out to the Movie Theater and pushed him into sets and the kid is a god damn natural.

That night we went home and discussed our goals and our pickup techniques, things we need to work on and things we have down...it felt great and I discovered an undying thirst. I am adding another goal to my list:

Become a mPUA

I want to reach the highest point possible with my Game. I want to be able to walk into any venue and point out the girl I will take home with me. I know I have a long ways to go but I thought you guys should be the first to know how ambitious I am becoming. I hope you guys can help me to my goal...I know it shall be long felt.

Questions:

Any critique on my wings introduction routine?

Any ideas for seated set isolation techniques?

Now that I have women in my life I can't help but thing that if I got into a LTR with one of them I would be unhappy. How do you guys manage multiple women, still get some and keep them in your life? I'm thinking about looking into some of Johnny Sopornos stuff as well

I have begun to start considering peacocking. I found a website with some crazy stuff I was hoping you could look at some of them:

































The pink stone necklace flashes different colors!

Game is good my friends! It's killing me to have to take a break but I have too or I will fail my finals miserably!

Thanks guys, I'm out!

P.S. Sorry no HB pictures, little sis stole the camera! Next time for sure.

Hengman: On Quick Escalation On The Subway And Other Transporting Vehicles.

So, I know some of you guys have issues with subway/car/etc., game. It's something that I've become solid in over my time doing this shit. I can also understand why.

So, I'm on SEPTA a lot here for traveling. Gas is high, so I tend not to drive. Plus, I lost my driver's ID. Sucks. Traveling by using a public transportation service is MUCH cheaper than taking a car around. It is also good for meeting people, too. I know what people want to ask me and that is, "How do you do it, Gerry?"

Simple.

So, over here, the subway is only two dollars to get on. Same with the bus and so forth. Now, depending on finding targets on the subway (which is hard), time is a BIG factor. Best times to go on a subway to do subway game are during rush hour times. Go when people are going to work or coming back from work. Most of the targets are there. However, even if you approach, approach with solid game.

Here's an example of what I would do:

Me - Hey, you look like you bite. What's your name?

As you can see, I approached with pure confidence. Even if your voice is shaky as shit, she'll be like, "Wow, he fuckin' just approached me in front of EVERYONE. I like him."

When this happens, you have the biggest set of IOIs from her. She'll constantly throw them at you. This is where you should escalate since these are escalation windows. Alright, less calibration and more escalation would lead to a faster close.

She doesn't have time for you. What I mean by this is that she can get off any stop at ANY time. This is why quick escalation works. Use your situation to your advantage after opening directly.

Example:

Me - What's the weather like today? It's pretty nice outside.

Girls get thrown off guard and they qualify to these little questions. These are indirect qualifiers. When the girls qualified to you, you should qualify back.

Example:

Her - Yeah. It's like 80 degrees. I love it.
Me - Me too. You like the sun a lot, then?
Her - Yeah, I do.
Me - Well, I tan a whole bunch during the summer.

Sometimes, it's the little things we say that we never give credit to.

Keep following this. Do incidental kino (touch her shoulder, tap her arm with your backhand, hit her leg, etc.) the whole way. Doing so lowers her ASD and raises rapport, thus attraction. After this, go into a phase of just literally bragging about yourself in a good way. They don't care about what you have to say. It's what you do that matters.

Then, qualify her into your world directly. Tell her that you like her for some reason.

Example:

Me - Well, I like you a lot. Only because you're the only (insert name here) I know.

After 2-10 minutes, close. Go in with a number. Or, if you can, get a makeout. I usually would get a makeout on the subway in the weirdest environment.

One thing that I end things off with is, "So, are we just talking or can I take you home and we can have some fun?" Just an example. My frame the whole conversation is set off to dominant. If you lose your frame just a little, you lose her all of the way.

I had this girl on the subway in April. I build good attraction with her, but I forgot to qualify to her. We got off the same stop and I asked for the number. First response from her, "But -- but I don't know you." I then WTF'd and it destroyed me.

But I found out that the use of indirect qualifiers works when in any situation. She would never know how she knew you, and you never knew how you knew her. But, it's the use of indirect qualifiers that allows this to happen. Magical stuff.

Frame:

1) Open confidently.
2) Kino escalate, indirect qualify her and then yourself.
3) DHV and kino escalate.
4) Qualify direct.
5) Kino escalate. Close.

How could I use this story?

I have an opening, a true story, that I used to use for a help seminar I almost got involved with. That company folded before I had the chance to use this, but I'm thinking it could be valuable in the PUA field. I'm just not sure how. It's packed with a lot of emotion. When I was practicing it, my colleges told me their interest level was extremely high. Here it is:

When I was about ten years old, I used to love to climb to the top of a tall evergreen tree. Up there a fresh wind blew in my face and I could see for miles around. I could see the wind blowing waves into beautiful fields, a farmhouse nearby, and a glass-shining lake. There was no stress about bills, about work performance, or about achieving anything. I was free and full of life. There was a beauty in just being.

Recently I asked myself when was the last time I felt like that. The sad fact is, the last time I felt that way had been when I was atop that tree as a kid. Somehow my adulthood had taken my ability to just be. It had robbed me of being able to feel relaxed and free. I vowed I wanted to get that back. I vowed to figure out how to recapture that feeling. I did. And that’s what this course is about.

So that’s how I was going to open the seminar. That seminar ended up never happening. However, I can see a thoughtful woman getting pulled into the emotion of that opener. However, it was designed to open a seminar, not a woman. It’s an opener in that sense, but I wouldn’t want to open a woman with it. However, what I’m wondering is how I might use this since it is so emotionally powerful. It’s genuine too. That story is real about my life. I’m wondering how to work it into interactions with women to establish a connection. Any ideas?

Internal Happiness + First Flake FR

Hey guys, i just feelike writing. I got my first real flake the other day. I know, first one! The crazy thing was, i had solid txt game, but she never picked up the damn phone! Phone game is always how i get my D2's. By the way, did Shadow find a copy of Get the Girl, by Mehow yet?

How i got into this set was fucking sneaky. At one of my usual spot, and i spot a mixed set a few seats down. One HB8, HB7, and their 3 guy friends. One of the guys leaves to go to the bathroom and i casually stepped out in front of him and make real strong eye contact.

I-Man: Whats happenin man, i know... ive met you before..., you kickass!
Rob(Stepping Stone): Oh yeh, you look familiar too. I work at whatever restaurant.

Blah blah, talked with him for about 1 minute. Got his name, where he works, and where he lives. Importantly he told me that one of the bigger bars in Pittsburgh are going to make a huge patio/deck and he is going to work there. This was all i needed, i pushed him off to the bathroom, and went directly to the set he was just at.

I-Man: Whats happenin guys (had a hand on the shoulder of the 2 other guys) Rob was just tellin me about blah blah blah.

It was funny, i dont even remember what i said, but i phrased it in a way that they didnt even ask me if i knew Rob, they just kinda assumed it because i knew where he worked and his name. Right away i established dominance with the two guys and i was already getting IOI's from HB8. By the time Rob got back from the bathroom, i was locked into the set talking to HB8. He came back with the Biggest WTF look on his face. It was hysterical.

Anyways, i ran solid game on this girl and her friends for about 5 minutes before my PUA friends showed up to drag me out cause she was the only decent set in the whole place. The number was easy enough to grab, she actually made me call her as soon as i got it so she would have mine. My txt game was normal, got her to txt me a few times the same night, and then 2 days later we had some playful txts and i decided to call her. She didnt pickup so i left a message and decided to wait a couple days. 3 days later, she txts me and apologizes for not getting back to me. A solid 4 hours later i initiate txt and she immediately responds. (Unfortunately these txts are long gone, i wish i still had the originals, they were golden, but this is the jist.)

I-Man: So i just got to the gym but i dont really wanna go in. This creepy fat chick keeps following me around! Ugh, so horrible.
HB8: Haha, thats soo funny.
I-Man: Sooo NOT funny! Anyways, im busy. And dont pickup your phone when i call you tomorrow @3, Im a total asshole, and you are a fucking cutie.
HB8: Haha, well i might be pretty tempted to pick up ;)

And she STILL didnt pick up when i called her. If they at least pickup the phone, i can always keep them interested, and get a D2 established on the second phone call. Argh! Oh well. I tried a couple more txts over the next few days but she never reponded.

I-Man: Haha, your so a Flayer, thats awesome...i love it.
and
I-Man: We are soo broken up. But what are we going to do about the cats? Im taking fluffy!

And still no response. Hmm, should i keep trying? I dont really care but damn. What a challenge. Oh well, i blinked in the picture. Maybe that was a forewarning!

Anyways, time for quick innergame time with I-Man.

External Validation is what makes most people happy. I get all this attention and feelings from other people which makes me feel good. When those people go away, I dont feel good. This is a major problem i have had for a long damn time. All my life really. But lately, i have realized, that true happiness comes from within yourself! Not from other people. This is probably going to be my main focus for the rest of this year.

I am sick of feeling like crap when my so called friends dont call me. I used to sit at my house and feel like shit cause my cell phone wouldn't ring all weekend. I would ask myself all these questions and blame things on myself. Well no more, i have finally realized that true happiness comes from within, not from the validation you get from other people. Instead of sitting around and feeling shitty i go to the gym, get shit done, im learning japanese for christ sake! I dont fucking care if no one calls me anymore! I have enough of a life by myself that i dont need other people to make me feel good. I can feel good all by myself!

Anyways, i hate talking about innergame, but I found this really important. And after i had this realization, i started looking at some of my friends and came to a major realization. Most of my friends that i dont like very much, are also people who thrive from external validation. All of my friends that i really love, are internally validated. The correlation was amazing. Anyways, I am going on a D4 with HBRussian this Wednesday and i have all of my schematics out in front of me in order for a well planned F-close. God i hope its a good time of the month :-/

Peace
