Charisma the Venusian Artist – Mastering the Mystery Method Post # 5

Friday, 28th November 2008

Game: Night
Field: The Union (two floors open)
Wingmen: Link, FutureFast, 4Real, Djmex, S-J, Picasso, Trent, RonBurgundy, SelfishGene and much much more!

The night started off with a nightly meeting at the library for The Edmonton Winter Bird Watching Committee. (Remember that the most important note to be taken from the meeting to watch out for the peacock!)

I met some new faces, and was honoured to meet some of the PUAs who have built quite the reputation over the forum and seeing some of them in the field. I was blown away how laid back these guys were and human they really were. (For whatever reason I was expecting to be judged the moment I went out; but it was totally the opposite!)

The best thing about the meeting is that I finally stumbled on the community I wanted to be part of for so long. Now I have a resource to push myself to the extreme. No more excuses of not finding a crew to go out with. And I’m sure that a lot of these gents (and woman) will be useful when it comes to constructive criticism. Not to mention, become an interesting addition to my social circle.

*grins* I hope to get into some crazy adventures with you guys!

After the meeting we went directly off to the Union and ran some sets as a giant crowd. I don’t think the club saw what was coming!

I didn’t do nearly as well as I did the night prior. I placed the bar too high, and didn’t maintain a playful mindset. I was too focused on the outcome than being fun and relaxed. (Sticking point which I believe was conquered on Sunday….more to follow).

Though all of my sets were severely blown out; I did manage to get one hook at one point through the use of an opener done through body language that I picked up from Matador. (80% of communication is done through Body Language). She called me an ‘asshole’ at one point, but I smiled and replied, ‘True….but I’m fun!’ which immediately won her over.

We talked a little bit and than she implied she wanted to go for a smoke. Isolating her outside of the bar, with her arm around mine, I made my way outside. She did run into some of her friends (I swear every girl has ADD, and I should have known it wouldn’t be that easy). I did take this opportunity to run to 4real and Djmex and shot the shit with them for a bit. She than later found me again and we returned back inside, locking her into a seat beside the dance floor.

I than tried to introduce her to 4real; and increase my social value – and it turns out they went to the same school. The set than later went downhill, because she was so primarily focused on talking in German, that I just left her off to the side, disappointed on how the set turned out.

The night than came to a dramatic close as RonBurgundy needed to leave with Crusade, SJ and Picasso. I tagged along – but now I regret doing so.

I need to push to the very end – or at least close to it. I could have probably ran some good sets if I picked myself up.

That’s why I need that extra push sometimes. But alas – it was another sticking point to overcome.

The lifestyle of a PUA.
