Charisma is back in the field (Field Report file #6)


Lately I’ve been under a dry spell, but thanks to my bud Spillz, I'm back on track on my main goal. (these are not edited since they're written in the moment after the bar)

Field report 31 May 07

The day went pretty well for socializing wise. After being offered an opportunity to go sarge in Winnipeg; i jumped at the chance imagining this
would be the perfect opportunity to improve my game in the bar scene.

Upon entering the TYC, i was swamped in the presence of beautiful women and a new crowd. This was my chance to take advantage of these people.
I mean, lets think this through...i don't even live in this general area. It was a chance to pull anything with minimal social consequence.

Unfortunately my old frame of mind took over. I refused to abide by the three second rule. I chickened out on Spillz's mission objective, only
opening one mixed set; and that came out like garbage.

Mistakes with the opening phase in that set:
1) Improper body language and the creation of rapport
2) Weak non projectory voice
3) Paid WAY too much attention to the guy, and none to the HB 6.5. Gave off the impression that maybe i was gay. I still need practice
disarming the obstacles.
4) The opener was stuttered and thrown out to quickly. The AMOG just played me as a tool and basically humoured me. The opener didn't even
make sense when it was put out there.

Good points about the opener
1) Followed through with the three second rule
2) The Balls to at least try.

In reality my frame of mind was not the best it could be. I relied way too much on the group that was with me, that i had no sense of
independence when it came to socializing with new groups.

This has to change. Today.

The one set that opened us on the dance floor (A HB 9, a HB 6 and a HB 5, were dancing on the floor and my buddy started with small talk. I had a funky
vibe, and i could tell that saw i was trying too hard. The dance floor is definitely not the place to pickup. I have to stray away from it.)

Anyways, my frame of mind eventually changed for the better, and i started feeling much more confident. I really didn't give a shit about anyone
or anything at this point. I was just out now - for having fun and that was all.

So the set my buddy opened and danced with all night, approached us (including the crazy red head HB5, who mind you i was considering taking a gernade for
so buddy could walk away with HB6. but she was way too out of er for me to even fully go through with that)

Anyways, here we are, the music is off, and we're gathered at the door. I open with a cheesy segment from the MASK, which made the HB 6 giggle and open up.
her friends joined in, and she claimed she was psyhic.

LIGHTBULB!

I knew this routine inside and out. I used ESP and blew her away wth my clever 1-4 guessing game. The answer was three.

So the HB9 demanded I try it on her.

And i did.


Field Report for 1st of June 07

Last night proved alot more productive than the last field report.

Shit started down over at my buddy's apartment, while listening to some music to pump up the blood in the system and having a few drinks and socializing
between the guys. Things were of to a good start. The frame of mind was stronger and the confidence seem to etch out of my pores.

Thanks to small prep talk with my main man Spillz, i focused my mind one two simple things. The three second rule and ploughing through the material.

So we headed off to The Coyote, and immediately upon entrance (which they told me to remove my goggles and peak cocky hoody) I walked directly to a small two
set and spewed through with the two part kiss opener. This time the opener came ot properly. They listened politely and they were hooked slightly.

But i drew on dry material and lacked the neg. But my confidence went up seeing the words come out fluently.

After that i ran into Andrew who was looking for his two little brothers (who hadn't shown up at the time).

So we're walking around the bar when i ran into a three seated set. Bam - no moment of hestitation - ran directly in the jealous girlfriend opener. I was
animated, had the proper body language when it came to body rocking and it seemed i had the set. But i didn't have any negs to throw out once again, but
that was cool, cause at this point, i was on fire.

I opened another set with an opener i always wanted to try. The 'Hey did you guys see the fight outside, well get this-' they looked at me firt
questioningly, than they slowly began to relax and the set hooked. Okay, so far so good.

Next i hit the dance floor with Andrew, since my other body moved to another loctaion to another bar, a three minute walk from where we were.

Before you know it, me and my buddy are going around dancing with some sets, and i opened them up, ran some new material that i never attempted to use.

I managed to spill out the best friends test, i was able to use negs, 'jeez, she must be the social outcast of the group =D' which where one group were
all giggling and i had a playful narrowed eyed look from my target.

I think we had a total of 4 random sets where we didn't chase any of them. Started from scratch, and each time it felt as my material was becoming more
concrete. It's just a matter of time now...

Things to improve:

Don't stop opening and getting caught on the dance floor chasing for a grind;
Plough through one routine to another;
Neg - regardless of what the AFC voice is saying inside my head
Become more confident and more energetic/expressive
Introduce myself as the alter ego I'm going to fully become...Charisma; not J-Y
