Postcard from Bermuda

Sup guys.

I'm on Prada's sister's computer writing this up real quick before going out on my last night on this beautiful island.

I'll write a whole FR of my stay here, but for now all I can say is this is truely an island of chodes. All these dudes look like hardcore gangstas (both the black and the white guys) but are complete LSE chodes.

The girls are all pretty hot but no standout 10s. Isolation and discretion is harder than it is in NYC since everyone knows each other and I'm not staying in a hotel.

But the "shinny object" theory is SO true. Very easy to get attraction and compliance with these girls.

Anyway, I'm glad to see FRs are still going up. Keep holding it down in the States while I'm gone and expect a FR and pictures when I return!

PAX!

Cat String Theory

Guys: I've been working on a lot of good stuff that I'll be posting here over the next few days, so keep your eyes out for that. But, for now, I want to detail a quick post on cat string theory. So, I'm rereading The Game and just finished the section where Mystery walks away from that chick in Eastern Europe and Style explains cat string theory. Having internalized this, I put it to good use this afternoon and wanted to post on it as a reminder of how important cat string theory actually is.

Okay, to give you some background, I ran game with Summa (crazy, ballsy RSD kid) this weekend and some sort of AFCish guy he brought out. (Met up with Ga'ash and Affection for a bit, too) Anyway, like the week before, we ran a ridiculous number of sets and pulled tons of numbers/random k-closes, etc. However, over the past 2 weeks, I only approached one girl I'd consider a HB10 and got blown out by the fat, rude obstacle. (Actually I approached one other 10 a week ago but the set didn't hook.) Anyway, while I closed 7s, 8s and 9s, it wasn't until 2a.m. Saturday night/Sunday morning I found another HB10...

Summa, AFC Man, and myself were coming out of a lounge/bar and I saw a big group of girls outside. After using my patented "Is it any good in there?"opener, I quickly realized my blunder as the question made no sense since we were coming out of the bar. Before the girls could call me out on it, I followed up with, "Just kidding. I had to test you. Wanted to see if you were paying attention. What I meant to say is: DON'T GO IN THERE. It sucks!" (This also evinces you can open saying ANYTHING...this was probably the worst opener in the history of PUA yet because my BL was good and I projected a calm, unreactive voice, the set still hooked). So, as all the girls started squawking at once, I noticed a perfect HB10 sitting on the curb. I pointed at her and said, "You. We're getting married in Vegas. Let's go" and put out my arm. To be honest, I don't know what was going through my head when I said that, but for whatever reason I had a gut feeling it was going to work...and it did! HB10 jumped up and said, "Yeah! I always wanted to get married in Vegas!" and hopped on my arm!

As I started walking down the street with her promenade-style, I told her our honeymoon was going to be at a lounge 4 blocks away. I looked over my shoulder and saw her friends following us along with my wings (who were in utter shock at the illogical events that just unfolded) as we led the group. As we walked down the street, I assumed A3 and started qualifying her in between BT-spikes. Here's an exert of our conversation:

The Judge: Okay, we're going to the 24-hour chapel of love.

HB10FashionChick: Haha, okay!

The Judge: I'm gonna rent out midget Elvis for the ceremony.

HB10FashionChick: Midget Elvis! Definitely!

The Judge: We're only getting married in the drive through...because...you know...I'm not made of money.

HB10FashionChick: Wait! You have to pay for the annulment though...(at this point I was scared she actually thought I was serious about getting married)

The Judge: Woah... (pushes her arm off) I'm looking for a sugar momma...if you're not going to support me and my deadbeat dad ways, this marriage is NEVER gonna work.

HB10FashionChick: Ahhhhhh!!!

The Judge: (takes her arm and starts walking with her again) Okay, fine. Maybe this'll work if you're creative.

HB10FashionChick: OMG!! I am SOOO creative! I study fashion design at hot girl school in the city!

This sort of interaction went on for 3 blocks. At one point, she turned to me and said, "OMG, we're getting married and I don't even know your name!! I'm HB10FashionChick". Also, her friends were following us chirping about being bridesmaids in our hypothetical marriage (it's amazing how highly addictive chick crack actually is). In fact, after they all introduced me to their girl crew, one of the girl's boyfriend pulled me aside and threw me a high five. Anyway, I probably could've k-closed HB10FashionChick at any time as she was complying with everything I was doing to her (i.e. twirling her around the sidewalk, giving me her hands, putting her number in my phone), but, when we got to lounge I suggested, her stupid friends objected and tried to get us to go to another bar down the block. Without even thinking I said no then had to stand by that decision as HB10FashionChick was dragged away into the night.

Anyway, while I didn't run any of kind of solid game, I felt there was enough chemistry and IOIs between HB10FashionChick and I that might amount to a non-flaky number close. So, the next day, I texted her something like, "Pack your bags for Vegas" which she replied, "Hahahaha ok that sounds good". Then I said something about midget Elvis which she also jumped on. I then said I'd call her later, which I did, and left her a VM (unreturned).

Realizing it might've appeared someway needy I called her the next day after such a sloppy n-close, I waited until this afternoon to text her again. Here's a transcript of our texts:

The Judge: R u really a creative chick or was that just line to marry me in Vegas?

HB10FashionChick: Ha i didnt know I could use that as a line

The Judge: Its rare to meet cute creative chicks...Usually only the fat ones do cool stuff

(After an hour of dead air)

The Judge: i want to learn more about u...lets get a glass of wine, im free tonite or tom

HB10FashionChick: Well i cant tonight or tom.

As I pondered over this text for a while, considering if I should plow, IOD back, or just let it go dead air, I thought about cat string theory: You have to be ready to lose the girl in order to get her. So I replied (about an hour later):

The Judge: Ok, it was fun meeting/marrying u regardless...peace

(30 seconds later)

HB10FashionChick: you too. ill be around this weekend if you wanna meet up one night.

Boom. The power of cat string theory.

Pax,

Live my life

Hey guys, I have to apologize for two things. Really just one since one is responsible for the other, but I'll say 2 things.

The first is, sorry I didn't write a FR of my self-proclaimed challenge. To be honest, I went to the B&N, scoped out for babes and didn't see any worth approaching (the second thing I need to apologize for). I know that's the most awful self-delusion in the world and there were HBs there (hot enough to warrant at least approaching), but I had envisioned this awesome situation where I'd run into a sHB11, approach, attract her, bounce her directly to my D2 routine then f-close her. I figured that'd motivate everyone to take the Judge's challenge and start making similar posts.

And, unfortunately, after a few minutes at B&N, I just sipped a cup of coffee and berated myself for getting AA in day game.

Also, it brought another matter to my attention: I'm becoming a PUA snob. I only seriously approach chicks I'm really interested in (HB8+) and no longer practice game on ugs or less attractive women. This is partly related to another trend I've noticed in the field, which I want to develop more in a longer post. However, for now, I'll say the trend I've observed (which tonight confirmed) is that hotter girls are much easier to game than uglier ones. It seems once you approach confidently and congruently, these girls' brains haywire and they act like complete AFCs.

Anyway, it's 2:51 NYC time and I'm about to go to bed. But I had a decent night sarging back at the classy lounge where I pulled HB Asian Model. I rolled with my friend Eddie (known more appropriately as the Man Whore) who is one of the best naturals I've ever met (he was the king of the Crusaders). He understands MM and is interested in it, but relies primarily on natural game (I also want to write a post on MW because a lot of his techniques are unorthodox but effective). Anyway, he got us into some quality sets (notably one HB who was a film actress and singer...her videos are really big in Europe)...she insisted I take her email address and number even though I didn't even ask! But, all night, I kept looking at this HB10 sitting in a huge female 10-set. I told MW early on I thought she was the hottest chick in the place (and there were LOTS of amazingly gorgeous women there) and I was waiting for a good chance to approach. I kept reminding myself of the two most important things when gaming HB10s: 1.) If you don't exude and project complete confidence from the open, you're going to get blown out. 2.) These girls are so used to shooting guys down, their only game is rejecting dudes...they're AFCs once you get past their defenses. Seeing a guy making a fool of himself dancing in front of the 10-set I made my move.

The Judge: (Squats down to HB10) Sooo who's this guy? Dude's got moves, huh?

HB10: Haha, I don't know. Just some random guy dancing I guess.

The Judge: You guess?? Yeah right, you know this guy. He's like your husband or something, don't lie to me.

HB10: Ahahaha...noooooo, he's not I swear.

And it was on from there. If you notice I'm simply referring to her as HB10 and not anything in particular, it's because I didn't do enough comfort to find out anything especially interesting about her (huge mistake). I simply ran game. One very solid move I made, which I highly recommend is I walked away from her then reopened about an hour later. Here's how it went down:

The Judge: Yeah, so this chick totally molested me the other night. Like, if you can picture what Tony the Tiger looks like and make that into a woman, you'd totally be able to get an image of this chick...

HB10: AHAHAHAHHA Oh my God! Tell me this story!!!

The Judge: Shit, I don't know. I gotta get back to my friend. He misses me when I'm gone too long.

HB10: Nooooo, wait! You owe me this story!!

The Judge: Ohhhhh...so high maintenance and we just met. Well, your friends are being rude and ignoring my friend. So here's the deal. Set your watch because I'm coming back in one hour. I'm gonna go grab another drink with my friend then come find you because you're interesting to talk to. When I come back, if you're a good girl, I'll tell you about Tony the Tiger...Oh, but one more thing: Talk to your friends and make sure they know how cool Man Whore is, because if they continue to ignore my friend, it's never gonna work between us. Okay, HB10?

HB10: Judge, you're quite interesting, too. Okay, I'll talk to my friend and I'm setting my watch. You better come back!!

So I walked away, gamed a 2-set for about an hour with Ed then reopened HB10. When I rolled back up to her, she in the same place but now incredibly drunk (in fact, twice during our round 2 convo she took a shot!) but when I rolled back up to her, she gave me a huge IOI:

The Judge: Okay, I'm back. I hope you didn't miss me too much.

HB10: Ahahaha...you took more than an hour! Didn't you miss me??

The Judge: (smiles) Maybe. So, Tony the Tiger...

I saw another subtle IOI when her friend moved over on the couch and motioned for MW to sit with her (she actually told her to talk to MW!). However, HB10 was wrecked at this point so gaming her was like talking to a kid with ADD. She kept on trying to get me to pump her state by telling her stories. She said shit like, "You're a writer! Tell me more stories." Which I said no to. This isn't the first time a PU with a HB10 has quickly gone down the tubes for me, so I acted fast the minute I saw some cracks in my game forming.

The Judge: Alright HB10, it's decided. You're officially fun, pound. It's too bad we're meeting our friends in Murray Hill so I gotta roll out.

HB10: Nooooo, stay with us!! You're fun, too!!!

The Judge: Yo, look at you. You're here, being all cool with your big girl crew. I need to go chill with my guy crew. You know...I feel like a animal put in a zoo here. But, I've enjoyed our convo, we should continue it another time. Now...how could we do that??

HB10: You could stay with us!!

The Judge: Nahh, I already told you I can't do that. Here (pulls out phone), put your number in. I'll call you and we'll meet up and talk when you're not all drunk and shit, you little alcoholic...

From there, I number closed then took her camera and took a sexy picture of us. Hopefully the picture will jog her memory if she was really wasted. I know I might end up regretting writing this blog entry, since there's a good chance this number will flake. But isn't so funny how the HB10s get us so excited....

Goodnight from New York.

Upcoming announcements and our community

Aye, it's 11:17pm on a Saturday and it seems strange I'm not out in some crowded bar, sarging babes. However, I went out with an AFC friend tonight and figured I could use one night off from sarging. Anyway, I wanted to update you guys on some ideas that are brewing in my head for the future of this blog (and, subsequently, our little community). As for my posts, I'll 1.) finish the third part of my bio, 2.) begin writing up my "Master Theory"...by the way, what I mean by Master Theory is I've been reading and outlining scores of PUA literature and theory and actively FTing everything. I've posted my thoughts whimsically on the VA boards and on this blog but never sat down and actively wrote out EXACTLY how my archetype works. Therefore, I want to write out my "Master Theory" for my benefit and yours. My developing PUA skill can be broke down into 3 areas: 1.) Theory and learning, 2.) Practice and preparation, and 3.) Execution and field testing. I hope this Master Theory will bridge those 3 areas and give you guys an idea of what I've been doing. And, finally, the third part of my future plans of this blog are 3.) we begin pushing each other. If you read the little text box on the side, this is where all those rules and emotional states come into play. I envision this blog becoming a FR forum where we state missions and force someone from our community to complete that mission. Since it's my idea, I'll carry out the first couple missions and write about them honestly and fully. (i.e. the first missions will involve day game...a sticking point I'm having at the moment). Anyway, there's what I'm thinking right now, but it's just IMO so please feel free to comment or post
your thoughts...

Announcements for 1/3/08

What's up guys -

I'm sort of pissed.

I wrote up my whole life history as an AFC to a PUA on my computer last night but my internet connection went down. Hopefully I'll post it tonight (theoretically I'm meeting HB Model tonight, but we'll see as we made plans via text messaging which, to me, is an atrocious way to secure a D2...but I'll cover why I had to do that way in my FR - if there ends up being a FR).

Anyway, I wanted to post this ASAP because I'm sure this going to get taken down shortly. Here is a link to the greatest piece of pick up literature you will ever read:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/920437/TylerDurden-OwenCook-The-Blueprint

That, my friends, is a hacked copy of Tyler's book. I'd recommend clicking the "download" button on the left and DLing it as a Word document since I'm sure this is going to be removed shortly.

The shit you will learn from this book is life-altering. Trust me.

Other than that, my birthday celebration was uneventful in terms of PU. My two AFC friends took me out for beers. I saw a hot 3-set and said I was going to open them but my friends actually begged me not to (one friend is practically married and the other is terrified of ever being rejected by a girl). Anyway, no sets opened last night, just drank beers.

Oh, finally, here's Dave Love Pirate's FR of our sarge:

http://www.nycsargeteam.com/showthread.php?p=184#post184

It's not incredibly detailed but interesting to read none-the-less.

Peace,
The Judge

The Community

Update: Posey sent me an email with a great point. You guys should have access to post articles as well. So I went ahead and made you all blog authors.

Although, rather than running this as a forum, I like the blog format better. When you’re ready to post, simply throw it on the blog as an entry then we can all use the comments section like a message board.

Post away!

On Dominance, Day Game, and Announcements

Okay, I’m at work and actually have a shit-load of stuff to get done but I wanted to post something quick because A LOT has been happening lately. First, I posted the article on social conditioning on the VA forum. I did this for a few reasons, some of which I’ll share later…

For now, rest assured I’m working out a system I believe will help everyone in this community. Unfortunately, because PUA has become such an industry, you can’t trust products or bootcamps from anyone. I’m not hating on gurus or mPUAs who make money off this stuff, but, at the same time, I know you can’t fully trust them. When I was a bio major in college, I remember this revered biologist gave a talk about working for insurance companies and how those companies only look to cure symptoms, not diseases. It’s not personal, ethical, or scientific; it’s simply business. Why would an insurance company want to cure a disease once (one-time payment) over having someone feel better but depend on that company for help? (The same holds true of every industry…do you think the smoking patch really wants to put an end to smoking? Do you think psychologists really want to rid people of their problems entirely? Etc., etc.) Rest assured, whenever you’re consumer that’s how people are going to treat you: no one wants to give you exactly what you want. (I know I’m rambling so I’ll post on this in more depth later, just try and grasp the main point I’m trying to make). However, on this forum, I want to sell you nothing. My motives are non-fiscal so you can trust me when I say I’m designing a system that I believe will work with 100% efficiency. Just be patient, keep posting comments, and I’ll deliver…

In other news, I think day game is key for solid, non-flaky, quality women. I’ll develop this idea more later (probably within my “system”) but for now I’ve been trying to step up my day game. I blew 2 great opportunities yesterday. Once because I froze and once because I wasn’t dominant. I’ll give you the play-by-play right now.

Situation: The Judge notices HB8 at the train station. They make eye contact, she gives him a proxy IOI by standing near him for a while then walks toward the train (carrying a shit load of luggage). The Judge gets on the same car as her, but doesn’t approach. When the train pulls into Grand Central and HB8 is getting ready to get off the train, The Judge finally acts:

The Judge: Hi, do you need some help getting your bag off the train.

HB 8: No, but thank you though.

The Judge: What are you? Running away from home?

HB8: Hahaha, something like that.

The Judge: Ah, cool. (Walks away….stupid move showing non-dominance)

HB8: (Steps up her pace to catch up with him) I’m actually taking finals this week so I went home to study. Now I’m coming back to the city to finish up. I’m in law school.

The Judge: Ha! I would’ve thought you were an undergraduate.

HB8: Haha, I know I look young! Yeah, I go to HB Law School in the city.

The Judge: (Starts talking jibberish about law school…idiotic banter. Negs her on her boots, not needed…walks away)

HB8: (Steps up her pace again to catch up with The Judge and possibly went out of her way to walk with him) Well, I’m leaving. It was nice talking to you. Enjoy the night.

The Judge: Yeah. You, too.

So many retarded moves in there. First, I could’ve salvaged the whole convo by simply saying at the end, “I’m getting coffee and you’re coming with me.” I know for a fucking fact had I said that, it would’ve worked. The Judge fails. Then fails again later on his walk home.

Situation # 2: The Judge is walking behind 2 tall, gorgeous models on Madison Ave. As he’s thinking of way to get in front of them and approach some AFC screams at HB10 Blonde, “You’re beautiful!”

HB Blonde 10: Thanks…(Keeps walking)

The Judge: (Over the shoulder) Wait, was he talking to me or you? I get that all the time…

Oh man! What an awesome line from The Judge!! Too bad he didn’t use it! Fucking pathetic. The worst part: A lot of times on the street, I’ll see a situation, freeze, and think of a really funny line afterwards. However, in that situation, I was in perfect position to deliver the line (a stride in front of the models), and that line popped in my head when the guy said it. But I hesitated and froze evincing non-dominance. Bad, bad, BAD.

Okay, I’m being hard on myself because I know I can do better. And I want to throw this out there so you guys can see my mistakes and hopefully not make the same ones. When I’m on my deathbed, I’m never going to say, “Man, I wish I approached less models on the streets of Manhattan.” Just by writing this out and reading it over, I’m inspired NOT to make the same non-dominant mistakes again.

However, to redeem myself, I did dominate the frame once last night that I am proud of – even if it’s non-PUA related.

Situation #3: The Judge is out with a HB he PU’d a month ago (I guess you can say I’m “seeing” this girl or on a D7) at a jazz club (she’s a jazz singer, which is very cool). After the show, HB Jazz Singer and The Judge get into a cab.

The Judge: Okay, you’re going to need to make two stops. Blah blah blah West Side, blah blah blah East Side.

AFC Cabbie: Two stops?! That’s a lot of work! (By the way, for those of you not familiar with NYC or cabs, this is an absolutely ridiculous response. Making two stops is a completely normal request, especially at midnight on a Tuesday when the night’s dead.)

The Judge: Well, that’s your job. (Stacks into a story to HB Jazz Singer)

AFC Cabbie: (Starts driving but interrupts The Judge) You know, I don’t usually do this. This is a lot of work and the stops are far apart.

The Judge: (Hears old AFC reaction in his head, which would be to say, “Okay?” and simply continue in the cab allowing the cabbie to set the frame that he’s doing The Judge some kind of “favor” by making two stops and making the atmosphere awkward…but instead:) Okay, you know what. Stop the cab.

AFC Cabbie: No, no. Wait, wait.

The Judge: No, seriously, dude. Stop the fucking cab. You want to cry about it, I’ll just get another cab.

AFC Cabbie: (Stops at a light) I’ll do it, I’m just saying…(The Judge opens the door) Okay, fine you want to leave. Pay me for the ride. (We’ve driven like 2 blocks)

The Judge: Good one guy. Good night. (Slams door without paying)

When we got into the next cab HB Jazz Singer wanted to talk about how ridiculous AFC Cabbie was, but I just stacked back into my story. The message was clear though: I’m high value; I don’t tolerate people’s shit; I live in my own reality; I’m an alpha male and will AMOG the shit outta anyone who violates my reality. HB Jazz Singer was all over me for the rest of the ride home. Finally The Judge shows some dominance…

What's to Come...

Aye, after some disappointing nights in the field, I’ve been regrouping and reconfiguring my approach/avatar. I feel like I’m on the verge of a break through in my game, I just need one last push. I’m at the point where I don’t feel like I can learn much more from PUA literature; I simply need to refine what I know and start mercilessly applying it in the field.

Sooo here’s what I’m thinking:

I keep a “journal” of sorts on my computer where I outline every piece of PU-related reading material I get my hands on. I’m a compulsive nerd who deconstructs everything and rearranges the pieces how I see fit. It’s a habit I picked up in graduate school.

Anyway, I plan on reorganizing and rewriting my “journal” and creating two parts: theory and application. Theory will include everything I’ve read, learned, field-tested, and believe works. Application will include every canned routine, opener, DHV-story, etc. I’ve plagiarized or written, found or created.

I hope this little exercise will focus my goals/attention and perhaps be useful to someone (or everyone) in this little community. Look for it mid- to end week.

In the meantime, I have plenty of writing to get done…

Announcements for November 13, 2007

1.) Okay, I’m just about ready to close the community and work with who we have. Right now we’re small enough to make sure all our material is exclusive, but large enough to support and motivate one another
2.) I’m trying to figure out how to post MP3’s so I can record some of the routines I use and the tonality I think that’s needed to make them effective, but I’m having some trouble doing this on blogger. If anyone knows how to do this, let me know.
3.) The 3 guys I sarge with (Ga’ash, Prada, and Theory) are all administrators on here. They’re all at an advanced level so their advice will be effective (I can vouch it’s FT’d).
4.) Start using the “comments” section to respond to posts, relay your experience with the routines, etc. Eventually I’ll probably just make everyone admin’s so anyone can post at will, but for now just use the comments section.
5.) I’ll post my “bio” later today. Start thinking your bios and post them in comments section.
