Lust's 31 Day Stylelife Challenge

Stylelife Challenge: Lust

This is the Style Life Challenge, organized by our own lair, so it's a little late, but it's still good all the same.

Why am i doing it? I love to improve. But also, I'd like to demonstrate that a 15 year old kid can keep up with the rest of the community, and can have something to contribute.

I signed up, the first day's challenge doesn't seem to be too hard, but I am guessing that they will become harder, and require more time and energy. I hope it's something i can do while juggling school and work, because i really find this important, and want to successfully complete it.

If i fall back a day or two, it may be because i have school, and sometimes work, and just don't have the time to do the challenges.

TASK 1: Completed

Watch your introduction to The Stylelife Challenge

TASK 2: Completed

Write down the following:

a. One or two sentences describing how you believe other people currently perceive you.

A. Fun, outgoing, outrageous, unique, weird, a leader, motivated but can be self centered. Loud, disturbing, insensitive, sometimes distant, aggressive at times.


b. One or two sentences describing how you'd ideally like to be perceived by others.


All the positives. Get rid of the negatives:

Fun, outgoing, unique, outrageous, confidant, easy-going, well tempered, caring when it counts (eg. No whining about guy problems), motivated, alpha.

c. Three of your behaviors or characteristics that you would like to get rid of.

1. At times i have a very negative view on women. After learning all this, if a chick doesn't really WOW me hard, i end up being distant, thinking less of her, and am not friendly towards her.

2. I am aggressive at times, and sometimes get into fights. I want to know how to handle difficult situations without violence and still seem alpha and attractive.

3. I like to tell people off, and very harshly. Though sometimes i do it right and come off as alpha, passionate about my goals, and motivated, but a lot of times i just seem arrogant and won't take no for an answer.

d. Three new behaviors or characteristics that you would like to adapt.

1. Confidence. I want to be able to not care about what anyone else thinks, and be able to seize every opportunity i come across.

2. Friendliness. I can be a real prick sometimes, and be really unfriendly. I want to become generally friendlier. I want to have a vibrant aura of passion, love and motivation that others can feel just by being around me.

3. Organization. I would like to become even more organized, plan my time, set up my day to be a success, and not have to tidy my room every time someone comes over.

TASK 3: Completed

Post your responses from above in the new forum message board titled STYLELIFE CHALLENGERS as a new thread.

Use your NICKNAME as the TITLE of the thread. If you would like to introduce yourself to your fellow challengers, you may add to the top of your answers a two-sentence description of yourself and why you’re taking the challenge.

TASK 4 : Completed

Download the following audio file and listen to it on headphones

TASK 5 : Completed

Make small talk with five strangers today.

I managed to only small talk with 2 strangers today, due to time restraints, but I'll be sure to get the rest done tomorrow.

First one:

Girl sitting behind us on bus. Half approach, half small talk. I fluffed about gay guys and their fashion with her.

Second one:

Some half drunk guy opposite HJs. He noticed my Uke and fluffed about it. Talked about where to get one, how much, and that we should jam together sometime. Massive alpha-ness, kept a strong frame in front of our chicks.

I swear to god, i thought i was sure i managed 3, but i can't remember the last one, or whether i did it at all. Ahh, I was so sure! Screw it, I'll just do an extra one tomorrow.

That's all i have got so far, I'll be sure to get the other three tomorrow.

Edit: I was right, i did make three. One at school.

Third:

Everyone at school knows me for the Uke, so when this science teacher asked me how to tune it, i wasn't all that surprised. I just fluffed about Ukes, how the old guy at Harrison's doesn't know how to tune it etc...

I finished the task and did most of the second day's.

Fourth: Some chick in the canteen line, had never spoken to her before. Commented on how she was really tall for a chick, and how a lot of chicks wear huge black shoes that give them so much height.

Fifth: I was right, that ethnic chick from yesterday seemed to think i was quite a character and said some thing to her friends. This other ethnic chick i had never spoken to (The metal heads and the "Gangstas" don't get on well) was totally checking me out. I called her out on it, and then the usual small talk crap about her friends, school and ****. Then bust her balls and ran some C&F cause she is actually pretty hot (8ish) and she grabs my tits!

Wtf?

Day 2

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

Here is your Stylelife Challenge Assignment for July 2nd.


TASK 1: Completed

Do not shower today.


TASK 2 : Completed

Do not shave today.

TASK 3 : Completed

Download and fill out the personal mission statement

TASK 4: Completed

After completing the mission statement, listen to the mind-shaping CD again. Understand and process who you will be.

TASK 5: Completed

Watch the video below on posture. This was prepared for you by Julia Caulder, who taught me Alexander Technique while I was learning the game. Watch it somewhere alone, so that you can perform the recommended exercises.

Because it is 13 minutes long, I’ve broken it up into two parts.

Notes:

• The reason why the way we do things is important is because it is reflected in our posture.
• The Alexander Technique makes us more conscious of how we do things, and helps peel away some of the extra work.
• If we learn to line things up and center our weight, we will be more balanced.
• Our head weighs around a gallon of milk.
• If our head is out of alignment, the rest of our body is compressed.
• When we tighten our neck muscles, everything gets scrunched.
• Why can’t we just change our posture? Because when we have our bad habits, and we correct our posture, all we are doing is shifting our tension to a different part of the body. It’s the same amount of work.
Part 2

• www.alexandertech.com – Try and find someone that can help you.
• Lying down helps us, as gravity is on our side, and it helps us to think. Do it for 15 minutes everyday, on a firm surface.
• You can have some books under your head, figure out a good number.
• If you don’t have a book, the head tilts backwards then the tension is on our necks.
• You can tell you have too many books if the chin is coming close the your chest.
• Put your hands at the bottom of your ribcage.
• Bend your knees and put your feet on the floor.
• When you have your arms down, your shoulders go up, and the tension moves there.
• Keep your eyes open.
•


TASK 6: Completed

Go out and make small talk with five more strangers today.

But we’re going to add one piece to the exercise:

This time, be sure that you make EYE CONTACT with the person.

In fact, when you report back on your experiences in the Forums, write down the EYE COLOR of the person you made small talk with.

Note that asking for directions or the time does not constitute small talk, because it has a purpose and intent.

First: A guy in town who was friends with some of my friends. Didn’t know who he was, commented on his hat, looked pretty cool. – Bluey Grey Eyes.


Second: Front counter lady at Borders books store, asked for the Self Help section, and whether she could recommend a book. She said she wasn’t too good with that section. – Light Blue Eyes

Third: Girl in The Muses music shop asked if she had seen anything by this rare Ukulele artist. Asked her if they had any weird music, turns out her brother plays the Uke too. – Blue Eyes

Fourth: Guy in the new Ripcurl surf store. Small talked about his day and asked if the store was busy as I was picking out a necklace from front counter (Which broke today, hehe piece of crap),

Fifth: Guy about my age on my bus. I think this would have to be the most natural and spontaneous conversation I’ve ever had with a stranger. I commented on his wallet, he commented on my Uke, and we took off. I spoke to him for a good half hour about music, emos, school, more music (He’s some jazz junkie), food, whatever. This wasn’t like a conversation where it had awkward silent bits, it was totally spontaneous. I’m happy with this one. - Bluey Green Eyes

Day 3

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

Here is your Stylelife Challenge Assignment for July 3rd.


TASK 1: Completed

Do not shower today.


TASK 2: Completed

Do not shave today.


TASK 3: Completed

Follow the vocal exercises recommended below to work on projecting your voice, speaking with confidence, and modulating your tone.


TASK 4: In Progress

Dial a local number randomly on your telephone. When someone answers, try to get him or her to recommend a good movie to watch.

I didn't get a single movie recommendation yet. Damn it. I came close, but not a proper score yet. Which sucks because it's suppose to be completed by tonight.

I only managed to make a few calls because i didn't have time and had to go to work, by the time i finished, it was too late to call someone.

Call 1: Some lady wasn't in too good a mood, she gave the the usual "You have the wrong number", then when i asked her for a movie recommendation she said this is ridiculous and hung up. I dunno, maybe i didn't do it right.

Call 2: I dialed a random number and it turned out to be a small business. Small businesses are always great, they are friendly, they enjoy someone to talk to at work. This guy was really nice, and came close to recommending a movie, but didn't. He said he didn't know any, but I told him i was going to see it with a chick and he gave a lot of opinions on what genre of movie we should go see, but didn't get a name. Damn.

Call 3: This was stupid, i knew this wouldn't work. My friend at work got me to call Chef Lai's Chinese Restaurant. It was kind of funny, but no recommendation.

I'll try to get them tomorrow.

TASK 5: Completed

Listen to the mind-shaping audio before going to sleep.

Day 4

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

Happy Independence Day.

Here is your Stylelife Challenge Assignment for July 4th.

NOTE: Today is one of the more critical days of the Stylelife Challenge. Make sure you listen to your special mission given in Task #3 below. If you are going to be at hoiday events all day, it is still possible to complete this mission -- as long as you are interacting with people who you didn't previously know.


TASK 1: Completed

If you masturbate, do not masturbate today. (I haven't whacked off in 2 weeks! Woo!)


TASK 2: Completed

As soon as you wake up, shower, shampoo, and soap thoroughly. Wash twice if you want.

Put something scented on your body – moisturizer, talcum powder, or a drop of nice cologne.

Then shave your face clean. Make sure you shave or tweeze any stray places where you have hair – the back of your neck, your ears, your nostrils.

Put on some clean, well-fitting clothing. And feel like a million dollars.

Look at yourself in the mirror and read the following: You are a god. People love you. You glow and radiate charisma and charm. You stand out from everyone else around you. Talking to you is a privilege. You deserve the best the world has to offer. It’s all there out there, waiting for YOU to take it.

Now, say the following out loud, with conviction: I am a god. People love me. I glow and radiate charisma and charm. I stand out from everyone else around me. Talking to me is a privilege. I deserve the best the world has to offer. It’s all out there, waiting for ME to take it.

Repeat it once more time, or as many times as it takes, until you really FEEL and EMBODY it.

There you go.


TASK 3: Completed

Today, you have a special mission. It is best to perform this mission as soon as you are shaved, showered, clean, and feeling good. You can find out what it is here:


Ahh this was so good for me. It was like I could actually feel the approach anxiety being blasted away from me. The 3-Second Rule rocks! I have to remember to follow it every time I’m out.

I had the best arvo today.

Approach 1: 4 girls waiting at bus stop. They were really friendly, lots of body rocking to disarm them, body language as if I was about to leave. They recommended Globalize.

Approach 2: 2 girls waiting at another bus stop, further down the street. They couldn’t think of anything off the top of their heads. Maybe I went wrong somewhere.

Approach 3: 2 girls waiting at another bus stop, around the corner (What? Bus stops just have more bored women ok? Sheesh), they were both UGs. I don’t think they understood me, because they replied with “We are waiting for a bus though”, maybe they thought I wanted them to come show me a store. Meh, I just waved them off and left. I had already got the recommendation, the rest was just for fun anyway, no time to lose.

Approach 4: 2 girls in Starbucks as I was waiting for my coffee. They couldn’t think of anything either. Then 2 little emo chicks came and talked to me, about my Uke (Surprise surprise). I was real friendly and looked like I was just a real warm guy that like to talk to everyone. At one point I asked the first 2 to save me because the emo chicks were talking too much.

Approach 5: 3 girls sitting down in Rundle Mall. One was wearing a pretty awesome shirt, so I went and asked them. They recommended Globalize (again), Mid West Trading, and Dangerfield. Awesome.

Those were all the women I approached that I could remember, actually I think there was more. After that I spoke to a whole bunch of guys, told some nutcase who was talking to himself that I loved him and blew him a kiss, and a few groups of people from school with AMOGS I didn’t know. I felt so friendly. Man, I am going to be like this everyday, it’s the most awesome feeling. I did all of that in like 20 minutes and I felt like the whole world was my friend. I even commented on a hardcore gangsta black guy on his hat.


TASK 4 (Is anyone going to post photos?)

If you haven’t yet posted your photo in the Style Critique section of the board, do so today.

If you are shy about getting “caught” trying to improve yourself, you may take the photo down in two days, when this exercise is over.

PS. Damn! No i didn't get the calls done. Sorry guys, but I don't want to do it while I am home with parents because it's kind of weird, and i don't want to tell them it's for some picking up challenge. But no worries, i will definitely get them done once i have a chance. If i don't get them done, you can all kick me in the nuts.

What is the stylelife challenge? Can it be found online?

Not anymore, but if you are really interested, PM me.

Day 5

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

Here is your assignment for July 5th.

Today is grooming day, and the focus is…your appearance.

NOTE: If you are short on money, it's possible to perform all of the required tasks without spending anything.


TASK 1: Completed

Read the following PDF on looks, grooming, and pickup

TASK 3: Completed

Your field assignment today is to get a free style consultation.

You are going to do this by examining the results of yesterday’s field exercise and choosing the clothing stores that came the highest recommended to you. Small, independent stores are preferable to large chains.

Go to that clothing store today (ideally when it’s not crowded) and select the saleswoman who seems to be the most helpful. Tell her that you want to change your style, and ask her to put together a complete outfit for you. If she wants you to be more specific, tell her you’re going to New York or Los Angeles and need something to wear to a high-profile fashion show.

More important than the style of the clothes, it is necessary that they fit you very well.

Change into the new clothes and observe yourself in the mirror.

If you like them, you may buy them. Make sure you take care of them by hanging them in a closet and dry-cleaning them – rather than machine-washing them -- when they’re dirty.

If the items are out of your means, remember the brands, the overall look, and the sizes, so that you may one day buy them or alternately find an equivalent outfit at a used clothing store.

If you choose to buy the new outfit, ask the saleslady where you can buy a matching pair of shoes and follow a similar routine there. However, this time show the salesperson the outfit and ask her to find shoes to match.

If you don’t like the outfit she selected for you, tell her why and let her try one more time.

Finally, if the saleslady is either not helpful or pushing you too hard to buy things, try another store you were recommended.

I checked out two stores, Globalize and Dangerfield. I am still to find Mid West Traders. I hear it's an emo store though, so I don't know how helpful that will be. Dangerfield was a little emo, so i didn't like much there, but Globalize had some cool stuff. Not sure if they convey the story i want to tell, but I think i'd look good in some of the stuff there. I may give it a try later on.


TASK 4 (Optional): Completed

You are going to change at least one more thing about your appearance. Choose one or more of the following micro-tasks below to perform. Not all of these will apply to you, so choose one from the area in which you’re most deficient.

Refer to the Grooming pdf above for further elaboration on these areas.

If you have a trustworthy female or gay friend, consult them and ask for an honest critical appraisal of your grooming:

NOTE: Do not be afraid of making a dramatic change for the better. No matter what your friends or colleagues may say at the time, they will be jealous and imitating you when they one day see the women on your arm.

A. Get a new hairstyle at a beauty salon (not a barbershop). It is recommended that you first look through men’s music or fashion magazines, and bring a photograph of the haircut you think is the coolest. Otherwise, the hairstylist may just give you the same haircut you have now. Make sure she gets rid of your neck hair if any, and recommends any hair balm necessary to maintaining your new look.

B. If you wear glasses, get contacts or Lasik.

C. Get a tan. Though the sun is free, the safest and quickest way to do this is to go for a spray tan. Mystic Tan is the most realistic and common spray-tan brand.

D. Get a manicure. It is not necessary to get a colored polish; just ask to get them “buffed” instead.

E. Get your eyebrows waxed and dyed.

F. Buy Crest Whitestrips and begin using them on your teeth daily.

G. Buy gum, mints, and dental floss, then make an appointment to see a dentist if you haven’t been to one in over a year.

H. Get a free skin care consultation by going to a department store cosmetics counter and asking what products they’d recommend for your skin. Feel free to buy cheaper versions of the same products at a pharmacy or just ask for samples at the department store. If you consider your complexion to be a major liability, then make an appointment to see a dermatologist as well.

I. Get tweezers and/or a nose-hair trimmer, and remove any hair in your nostrils, on your ears, between your eyebrows, and/or on the back of your neck.

J. If you do not own a pair of clean, nice black shoes or boots, buy a pair by going to the store recommended by the sales clerk in task 3. If you don’t have any black socks, buy some.

K. Buy a necklace, rings, a bracelet or wrist cuff, and/or any other accouterment. Try not to get anything that looks like it came from a chain store like Hot Topic – even if it did. When in doubt, err on the side of getting something simple for now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did G) and K)

Bought some gum, mints, and some Listerine pocket packs.

Got myself 2 necklaces, and a bracelet that matches one of the necklaces. Actually, it’s been quite good, I’ve been commented on my necklace quite a few times, and I’ve only had it for a short while.

Day 6

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

Here is your Stylelife Challenge Assignment for July 6.

TASK 1: Completed

Make sure you shower, shave, and feel good before you leave the house today. Play your favorite CD at high volume if necessary. If you purchased any new items yesterday, put them on. Try not to touch yourself.

Over the course of the day, give five women spontaneous compliments about a specific attribute. At least four of these compliments should be given to women who you do not previously know.

Avoid general compliments (such as “you’re beautiful” or “you’re hot”) and anything that could be construed as sexual. Instead, focus on specific compliments, which can range from her nails to her shoes to her posture.

Leave after the compliment, unless she continues the conversation. The most common response you receive will be a sincere, polite, or dismissive thank you.

The key is to not be seen as trying to flatter her or hit on her, but to show sincere appreciation of something about her that you spontaneously noticed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compliment 1: Lady in Coles supermarket. She was wearing this really colourful jacket and I gave her a quick compliment.

Compliment 2: Girl with bright green shoes on.
Compliment 3: Two girls sitting outside at some café, one had some pretty cool leather boots.
Compliment 4: Lady with this huge pink bag, commented on it and asked where she got it.
Compliment 5: 2 girls walking towards me, I think I commented on her bag, but it may have been her boots, I can’t remember.


TASK 2: Completed

Read the following pdf on openers

TASK 3: Completed

Listen to the following conversation I had with Lovedrop, a top Mystery Method instructor. Though the audio is obscured at times by passing cars and planes, the content is worth sharing; it documents the creation of a workable opener on the spot. Something you’ll be doing in Task 3.

TASK 4: Completed

Now generate your own original opener, and post it in the newly added message group titled OPENERS.

Though the pdf discusses all types of openers, we will be focusing on scripted, indirect openers that can work in any situation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PUA: “Hey guys, you guys look like you know your sh!t, I need your help with something”

Girls: “What?”

PUA: “Righto, you guys have to be quick because I only have a sec, but you know those metro sexual kind of clothing? The borderline queer ones? What do you think about guys wearing them?

Girls: Blah Blah

PUA: Do you think a guy should like vibe masculinity? Or do you think it’s a good idea to have a feminine touch in the way a guy dresses?

Girls: Hooked, blah blah blah

PUA: The reason I’m asking is because I love to dress sort of like borderline gay, and my mates always make fun of me for looking gay. But I like standing out, I’m a bit of an attention wh0re, so I don’t really care, anyway, I was in town waiting for my mates/girlfriend the other day, and I was talking to this guy. He seemed really cool, but after about 3 minutes, I swear to god he was trying to hit on me! I told my mates and now they’re having a good laugh out of it, what do you guys think?

Follow Up Questions:

• What style of dressing do you guys find attractive?
• Would you recommend any clothing stores to me?
• Would you recommend some styles of clothing for me?


Springboard topics:

• Clothing stores (Follow up with funny story about how I tried on a dress at MCL and got caught)
• Having gay friends
• Current fashion industry


PUA: “Hey guys, you guys look pretty friendly, I need your advice on something”

Girls: Sure, what?

PUA: Ok, I’ve only got a sec, but you know those tanning salons? What do you call them again? Solariums? Anyways, do think it’s weird for guys to go?

Girls: Blah blah

PUA: Well, I haven’t been, but I’ve had all these girls come up to me asking where I got my tan from, because most typical Asians don’t have a tan and are really pale.

Girls: Blah blah

PUA: Have any of you guys been to one? I’ve been wondering how the whole thing goes down, I know this girl that go gets a fake tan like every week, I swear she’s like black now. I personally don’t find it attractive, but also, the reason I’m asking is because she used to be a really good friend, but lately after the visits to the solarium she’s become way b!tchier! Do you think the whole tanning thing has anything to do with it?

Girls: Blah Blah

PUA: Also, I’m thinking of sending my mate to one. He’s a good looking guy, real fun to be with, it’s just he’s white as a ghost.

Follow Up Questions:

• How much does it cost to get a fake tan?
• Do you think the more tanned and “attractive” she got, the bigger her ego grew?
• Do you think solariums are safe?
• Would you rather a natural tan from the beach?


Springboard Topics:

• Beaches
• Nice girls being b!tches
• Other things people do to look good e.g. Piercings, tattoos etc…

Edit: Finished the compliments

Day 7

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

Here is your Stylelife Challenge Assignment for July 7.

TASK 1: Completed

Download and read the following PDF, collecting a dozen of the Stylelife Openers all of you posted

TASK 2: Completed

There are two main keys to delivering an opener successfully. My Mystery Method pal Lovedrop shares them with you here

TASK 3: Completed

Choose two of your favorite openers from the pdf. If you prefer an opener that you posted but isn't included, you may field-test that as one of your openers.

Then follow these pointers to committing them (and anything else in the future) to memory


TASK 4: Completed

Make sure you shower, shave, and feel good before you leave the house today. Play your favorite CD at high volume if necessary. If you purchased anything new on Day 5, put it on.

Approach five different women today (in the street, at a café, at a bar, in the mall, in an elevator, wherever) and deliver the openers you memorized.

It is not necessary to continue the conversation afterward.

When the conversation about the opener ends, you may exit with a line such as, “Thanks, I appreciate it. Pleasure meeting you.”

It is not necessary to have five successful interactions; just five approaches. In future assignments, we will be adding extra pieces to your opening game that will greatly increase its effectiveness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I probably should have done more, but I needed to catch up on the compliments as well because I was a little behind.

Approach 1: Some girl that I caught checking me out. I busted her for it, and she called me gay. I ran with the gay opinion opener. Some good results, and yes, she thinks I look gay.

Approach 2: 4 girls sitting outside Hudson’s. Man, bad. Bad, bad. It turns out one of the girls I had approached before and gotten a number from. But the thing it, it was almost the same opener. The other girls were receptive, and said no, I don’t look gay. But this girl put the whole shield thing up, because she probably remembers me, and said I looked gay. I should have stuck in a “Do I know you from somewhere?”.

Approach 3: Girl at my bus stop, ran with the whole gay thing again, worked alright. She was really shy, but said no, I didn’t look gay.

Approach 4: Girls outside the same café the 4 set was before. Commented on her boots, and ran with the gay opinion opener. She said I didn’t like gay. Despite the homo way I had dressed, and the black chicks glove I had on one hand. Oh, and there was the little pony tail too…

Approach 5: This other chick at another bus stop, I complimented her on her bag (I lost count of how many compliments I did, so I over did a few, and ran some openers anyway), asked her if she thought the way I dressed was a good idea. She said I stood out, and really liked the whole thing.

I forgot to mention that I bumped into Dave, and he got me into an awesome state after he left, and I made like 5 approaches within 10 minutes because of it. I didn’t really want to approach while he was there, stupid negative self talk. But once he had left and I got comfortable, and left with an awesome friendly feeling he had got me into, I was able to get the approaches down in no time.

I need to work on my Inner Game, it was just it was a little weird being with Dave for the first time, I wasn’t really comfortable with approaching with him, but I’ll get over it. The arvo was pretty good, I am glad I ran into him, because I probably wouldn’t have made as many approaches if I didn’t.

I’m meeting up with TigerWolf tomorrow, so I should get a lot done.


TASK 5: Completed (I wrote it all down in my PUA journal)

At home tonight, make a list of the approaches you did today.

If any went well, write down the reasons why you believe they worked. If any went poorly, write down why you believe they didn’t work.

Now go back over the list. Any place where you blame someone else (ie, “she was walking too fast,” “she was stuck-up,” “she wasn’t really my type anyway,” “the guy she was with was an *******”), cross it out and replace it with a suggestion for what you could have done differently to make the approach more successful.

Day 8

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

Here is your Stylelife Challenge Assignment for July 8th.

Today we are going to learn some subtleties to making your approaches more effective and successful.

TASK 1: Completed

Listen to the following audio lesson on anticipating and defusing objections to approaches

TASK 2: Completed

Go out and approach five women or groups that include women today with the openers you used yesterday.

This time, make certain that you add both a root and a time constraint (as explained in Task 1) to each approach.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Approach 1: 3 set sitting outside of Woollies. I went with the gay opener, they were sort of closed. One girl was giving me mad smiles but was quiet and didn’t say much, the other two were really hard to talk to. One of them said my glove was a bad idea, woo, screw her, I love this thing.

That day was horrible, that was all I got for that day, but the next was AWESOME, I had so much fun.

One of my mates gave me this mask, it’s the one the guy from Hannibal Lecter wears. Anyways, I was just running around town and having awesome fun, scaring randoms and dancing around and just being really loud. My mates even filmed me scaring a few randoms. Hehe, man I love peacocking.

Approach 2: Woof, woof woof woof. That was the first thing I said to these 3 girls. They laughed, pointed, giggled, nice IOIs. Ran with the, gay opener again, I time constrained with “Gotta be quick, more people to scare but…” It was awesome because I actually did scare some other randoms right after speaking to them. Woo!

Approach 3: Some what like the one before, this time I didn’t bother to take the mask off, and just went through the whole interaction with a straight face. Awesome fun, mad laughs. Same opener, “Do I look gay? Like, I don’t wanna look gay, I AM sorta suppose to eat flesh so…”

Approach 4: Two girls walking past, same thing I did before. Except I like yelled at them from the other side of the mall. “HEY! YOU WERE CHECKING ME OUT!” Then asked them to come over cause I need some girl advice. “Miss Hannibal’s birthday is coming up, and I need to get her a present…”

Approach 5: At this point, my mates who were filming ran off. Cause I took my pants off. Woo. I was walking around with half my pants off, with this awesome mask, and accused a 2 set of looking at my crotch. After I put my pants back on, I asked them what they think of my belt. I dunno, first thing that came to my mind.


Awesome fun! Gotta do it again tomorrow!

Day 9

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

The pace is about to pick up here and I’m going to start giving you more advanced material, so I want to make sure that no Challengers get left behind.

Thus, today is REVIEW day.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I used today to finish some of the unfinished day 8 tasks. Read the Red Queen, and did the posture exercises and mind shaping exercises again. Wasn't able to do much today, didn't go out.

Day 10

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

Here is your Stylelife Challenge Assignment for July 10th.

The focus today is disqualification, one of the most counter-intuitive pieces of the Game.


TASK 1: Completed

Watch the following introduction to today’s assignment, and see it in action on a supermodel in this rare video clip

TASK 2: Completed

Download and print the pdf below on disqualifers and relationship tests. Put a star next to the two lines you could most see yourself using.

*I don’t have time for you
*I break up with you
*I’m not good enough for you
*Your not good enough for me
*I don’t need you

Lines I Could See Myself Using:

“Have you ever gone along with one of your friend’s hair brained ideas that you thought would be bunk but turned out to be way cool?”

“What’s the wildest, craziest thing you’ve done?”

TASK 3: Completed (Sort of, see “Note”)

Your field exercise today is go out perform the following approaches:

1. One approach using one of the disqualification lines you marked on the pdf.
2. Another approach using the other disqualification line you marked.

Now sit down with the pdf and write down a third potential way to disqualify yourself. Then…

3. Make your third approach, using the new disqualifier or relationship test you just invented.


Note:

I was behind, but I read Day 10’s tasks. I skimmed through it and knew it was disqualification day, but didn’t read it too deeply. While I was doing my Day 8 I did my Day 10, but I used a lot of disqualification lines that were not mine/from the PDF, or were just lame, but still worked ok.

I will probably try and fit in some more of my own disqualifiers in the next few day’s tasks.

Approach 1: 2 set sitting opposite us on the bus trip. Real hot, 9s.

“Haha that’s awesome, but you are so ****ing FAT! Holy **** you’re HUGE! I don’t think you’ll be able to keep up with me, I’m a pretty active guy you know!”

Approach 2: Girls outside Cibo,

“Awesome, you are so fun! Too bad I’m gay, or we’d be an awesome couple”

Worked well because I do look gay.

Approach 3: HB7.5 at the bus stop. A little like the first, just swapped it around a bit:

Her: Your 15?!?
Me: Yeah, sorry to disappoint you, but you’re too old for me. I’m a pretty active guy you know? I don’t think you’ll be able to keep up with me with your cane and all. I’ll give you a second to get over the age thing… I’ll wait.


My disqualifier: eg. It’s Wednesday, talking to some chick.

Disqualifier 1:

“Too bad I’m taken on Wednesdays” – Like makes no sense, is a false disqualifier, but I reckon it will work just as good. Add a little back turn after the line and it should be good to go.

Disqualifier 2:

“You’re AWESOME! We’d make the best couple, but too bad I have a boyfriend at the moment. I love my boyfriend” – I can joke that I am not just gay, but Bi or something. It’s like a take away, but sort of bring back the possibility of being with me.

Disqualifier 3:

“Oh my god! She is gorgeous! I need you to help me win her over. Quick! What do I say!? Help me out! I must have her!” – From here, you could always go into the “Does pick up lines work for you?” routine.

TASK 4: Competed

Tonight, post the line you invented – along with the results you got from it – in the new message board in the forum titled DISQUALIFIERS.

Day 11

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

Here is your Stylelife Challenge Assignment for July 11th.

Today is one of the most important days of the Challenge. Now that you have worked on your tonality, your body language, and your appearance, it’s time to take a look at your identity and inner game.


TASK 1: Completed

Download and listen to the following audio critique of Stylelife Challenger Grinder63’s Day 10 Approaches and Day 11 Identity Exercise

TASK 2: Completed

Download and fill out the following PDF on finding and refining your identity.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe not directed for someone like me, but I'll do it anyway.

What are your current jobs, hobbies and or courses of study? Focus your answers on how you spend your time, not what you think will please women.

I currently work at Hungry Jacks, which provides me the cash for buying new instruments, music being my passion. I don’t know exactly what I am going to do in Uni, but I know that I will be going to Uni in Melbourne, and doing a course that I think will be challenging and rewarding to complete. I spend any free time with my guitar, improving myself with books, net etc…, meeting new people and playing rugby.

Select one of the answers to the above question and write it down here:

My hobbies mostly revolve around music. It’s my passion, my guitar my love. Other hobbies include rugby, meeting new people and working out.


Given the hobby, job, or course of study, what are the most interesting, adventurous things you are or will be working on or studying that impact people the most? In what way does it or will it affect them? List them all.

Soon our boys will be in the rugby finals, it will impact our whole team and our close mates. We will get fired up and a lot of us will have to work harder.

My mates and I are working on our own trio version of Eric Clapton’s Tears In Heaven. We are performing it to the whole school, and we are going to have to put our heads together to figure out some really awesome harmonies. It will affect all of us, our confidence with our instruments, and affect our school who will listen to us.

And of course, I must include the Style Life Challenge. PUA is a lifestyle, and it is a part of me. I am not ashamed, so I will list it here. There are plenty of exciting challenges the Style Life Challenge has required me to do, and it will affect every person I talk to, as well as my female friends at school who are finding me more attractive and friendly.

Now imagine you are a recruiter of that job or hobby and you are trying to advertise to someone that knows little or nothing about the field. You want to do this by selling them on the importance of the job they will be doing.

Become a… musician.

Where you can…connect with others using music.

Where you can… perform gigs in front of millions of fans around the world.

Become a… rugby player, where you travel the country playing the toughest, most brutal men.

6. Rewrite your sales line removing adjectives and replacing with powerful nouns:

I… am a guitarist that will tour around the world, performing in front of millions of fans, travelling with the most skilled musicians.

TASK 3: Completed (Sort of)

Approach groups of three people or more containing at least one woman. Use an opener that contains a time constraint and a root.

However, when you’re finished with the opener, continue the conversation by adding the following movements and lines:

1. Pretend as if you’re about to leave, but take no more than one step away.

2. Look back at the group and ask, out of curiosity, “How do you all know each other?”

3. Think of one question or comment to respond with. It doesn't need to be complicated. For example, if they all say they’re friends from work, you can ask, “So where do you all work?” If two of the people are in a relationship, you can say, “No way. Congratulations. You guys look great together.”

4. You may now leave if you wish with your all-purpose closer, “Nice meeting you.”

5. You may also choose to continue talking to the group if the conversation is going well. If you do this and anyone asks you what you do for work or study in school, make sure you answer with the identity statement you created using today’s pdf. Try to use this statement in at least one of your interactions.

The task is complete after you have followed steps one through three with three groups.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I only managed 2, but I’ll try and remember to add this little piece in into my next approaches:

1st: Group of people in town, I knew one of the girls, asked how everyone knew her and each other.

2nd: Girls at markets, asked how they knew each other, and what school they go to.

This is a bit weird for me, since I do most of this after school, and everyone is in their uniform, “How do you all know each other” is kind of lame, “From school idiot, how else?”

Eh, I’ll see though.

TASK 4: Completed

Before you go to sleep, read this essential report on inner game by Stylelife boy wonder, Jgatz

Day 12

Dear Stylelife Challenger,

Here is your Stylelife Challenge Assignment for July 12th.

Today is storytelling day, in which you will learn to always have something to say about yourself during a conversation.

TASK 1: Completed

Watch the following two-part instructional video on storytelling by DJ, a PUA who specializes in this subject

Story Telling Model:

Step 1: What is it that you want to convey?

• Difference between who you are, and how you are.
• How you are is created
• Who you are is discovered

1. What is it that you want other people to know? What are your core values?

• Fun
• Exciting
• Outrageous
• Sexual
• Confident
• Unique
• Powerful
• Hilarious
• Interesting
• Positive

Step 2: How do you convey it?

You have all the stories you want to tell.

What is a story? It doesn’t have to be funny, it doesn’t have to have a climax and an ending, it can be any experience you have had.
1. Story of Mum finding out about 8th grade GF and the gifts she gave me.
2. Hitch hiking
3. Hiding in the closet


Step 3: Working on the outside

Take the stories and run them through your mind. Run through them like a movie. Be in touch with the sensory of the stories.

Don’t give a list of facts. Look at words that convey emotion.

Watch your tonality.

Ending. Humour, twist, moral, etc…

Rehearse. Rehearse to mirrors, friends etc…

TASK 2: Completed

Take a piece of paper or open a computer file, and title it: Stories To Tell.

In this space, write down five interesting stories about yourself and your experiences. Feel free to use any stories you came up with while watching the storytelling video.

If you are having trouble coming up with five, think back on recent conversations you’ve had with friends and family. Try to recall if there were any stories you told that elicited excitement, intrigue, or laughter.

If you are still having trouble, imagine that you had to pitch a movie about yourself to film producers. What key stories from your life would you need to include to interest them in making the film?

If you are still having trouble, move on to Task 3.

Stories to Tell

Transition topics: Young love, when you were younger, teenage relationships, scary women.

Year 8 girlfriend:

You what? You women are sex maniacs! I remember like ages ago, when I was in year 8. You know, fresh outta primary school, your new, you know no one, you just hit puberty and your underarms don’t smell yet.

Well, in year 8 I had this girlfriend right? It all started out nice, we were all lovey dovey, you know the usual stuff. We’d hug and kiss and that. Well about a month or so into the relationship, I notice that this chick is one horny nut!

I was starting to notice that this chick is real dirty! She’d ask me to talk dirty on the phone, she’d get all touchy at the wrong times, I mean yeah ok, sexuality, I respect that, but we were like 13 man! I still hadn’t had a wet dream yet! And she’s talking about sex! I was such an innocent little boy until I made contact with you, horrible race of dirty, horny, sex crazed women. Argh!

My parents were real strict, you know typical Asian parents, well I was talking to her one night on the phone, and my mum goes to use the other phone, she picks up right in the middle of my girlfriend dirty talking! Holy ****! I almost shat myself when I heard my dad sneeze in the phone! Bahh! I was like “What the ****? I hope that’s your dad!”

So I got in a bit of trouble, but it didn’t stop there. It was my birthday and this chick gave me some real naughty presents! She gave me like those nude playing cards and those sex dice. You know, the ones that say “Touch”, and like “Boobs” or something. Man, you killed my innocence right there. When my mum found them, she flipped! Oh god, you women are sexual predators!

Transition into: Sexual predator routine, embarrassing moments, awkward parents.

Hitch hiking

Transition topics: Crazy things you’ve done, being late for something important, the weirdest coincidences.

You know what’s really ****ing annoying? Have you ever just missed your bus? Like see it whiz past as you turn around the corner, into the street with your bus stop? Have you ever ran after the bus?

Well I have, I chased that damn bus for 3 whole minutes, every time I got close, it would zoom off!

Anyway, one day I just missed the bus, and I was going to the beach with this chick I had met. I just could not be late! Damn that bus driver! Made me chase for nothing!

So what do I do? Well, I’m such a genius that I came up with the idea of hitch hiking. So I had my thumb out and everything, I was waiting for someone to stop, man people are unfriendly in my neighbourhood! Not one stopped!

Then I got lucky, this one bloke stopped. At this point, I was walking opposite of this little deli, and the guy stopped in front of me. So I open the door and get in, and he yells at me, “EXCUSE ME!? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?”

I’m like “****! I was hitch hiking and you stopped!” This was like some big hairy construction worker, so I was scared ****less. Turns out he was just stopping to get to the deli! Bah!

Well, so I get off, and start walking again. With the thumb and everything, then I noticed I had lost my wallet! I left it in his truck!!! Oh no! I don’t give a damn about the money and the cards, but that wallet has like my only picture of me when I was little and still sweet and innocent!! I can’t lose that!

I see his car whizzing past, I tried to signal him but he probably thought I was some nutter.

Well, I got really lucky, or unlucky, whatever. The construction site was just a little further down the road, they were building some more houses in the area, and I saw his truck parked there. There was no one in it, and about 50 meters away there were a few guys working. So I go in totally commando style, with a towel, a ukulele and some rope.

The truck was unlocked! I found my wallet underneath the passenger seat, I was about to leave when I saw them coming! ****!!! MORE BIG HAIRY CONSTRUCTION WORKERS! What do I do? I get the great hair brained idea of scrambling into the back and hiding, two guys came this time. They talk a bit, get in the car and are about to drive off! Totally unaware that I’m there.

Well, since I’ve already missed the bus, I may as well steal a ride. Yeah I know, what an idiot right?

So they start up the car, and it’s going down Reid avenue, awesome, going the right way. They seem to be getting closer and closer to town, all this time, I’m squashed between the passenger seat and the back seats, on the floor scare ****less. And you know what the passenger guy does? HE ****ING FARTS!

The dirty bastard farts! While I practically had my face against the back of his seat. Jesus! I though I was going to barf up in their car. The other guy doesn’t even say anything. They were talking about the cricket or some crap.

Well, eventually, when they get close to town, they turn and head the wrong way, so I wait until the next red light, and jump out, with my wallet and my innocent picture of sweet lil Benny.

You should have seen how shocked they were, bah! I just jumped out and ran! Ran like crazy! Didn’t look back, just ran and ran!

In the end, I was 20 minutes late for my little date, but she was still there, we had an awesome time, beautiful day, she looked so hot in bikinis!

Well, that night, she called, and told me that her dad had the weirdest day; some crazy looking Asian was hiding in his truck and jumped out near North Terrance! Oh ****.

I stopped seeing her after that phone call.

Transition into: Photo routines, hot girls with scary dads

Cross Dressing Anyone?

Have you ever decided to do something crazy, something stupid and been caught? I remember when I was out with a few mates, I we got pissed and met these really awesome chicks. They took us shopping and I decided to try on a dress at Supre! Bahaha, it was awesome, I even have a photo of it if you want to see. But that kind of intrigued me, oh hell this is where it starts. So the next time, we are out with a few friends, and one needs new pants or some ****, I dunno, but hell I decided, well, why not? So I hop into those cubicles for like 5 minutes, AND I CAN’T UNDO THOSE DAMN STRAPS! I have this dress I’m wrestling with and I can’t get into it. So I think, screw it, and I pop out, about to get my chick friend to help when I see that the store clerk is right outside the door!

She turns, and oh hell! The look on her face! It was priceless! She snatched it off of me, and stormed off.

Hey, by the way I like your dress…

Transition into: What about you? Fashion, Being caught red handed at something, doing something while your drunk and enjoying it, etc…

It’s Not What It Looks Like

Have you ever been in a situation where you look like and idiot, or you’ve been caught seemingly red handle, and everything just looks real bad, and it’s really not what it looks like?

When we went to Melbourne, we had a great time. We were hanging with these chicks when I decided to let them put lipstick on me. We were all fooling around, having some fun, the girls were enjoying it, they gave us kisses on the cheek with lipstick on, all the usual stuff yeah? Well later we were walking around the zoo, I decided to leave the chicks and go exploring, so my mate and I were walking around the zoo, with kiss marks all over our cheeks, and I have lipstick on, I’m wearing a purple shirt and I’m carrying my Ukulele.

Do you know how many looks we got? Jesus! Even the girl serving us food at the zoo cafeteria was curious.

On the way there, some guy on the tram even tried to start a fight because I blew him a kiss, he was the one that looked like a tool though.

We’re walking around, we looked totally like a couple, talking about animals and fashion and little couple thingys, and everyone around us thought we were gay! All the hot girls were laughing at us and kept asking what I thought about this and that!

Transition into: Ever been in a situation where everything looked like what it wasn’t? Gay friends? Why girls wear so much makeup? Etc…

Turbulence!

Are you afraid of anything? Like, have you ever had a childhood experience where it just gives you the ****s? Something I am really proud of is overcoming this fear of flying I used to have. Like, when I was little, we went over to New Zealand, on the way there, we flew through this massive storm. I was scared so much, I was desperately trying to focus on See Spot Run, the movie they were playing, but we had so much turbulence I just couldn’t focus.

I was seated at the wing, next to a window, I’d look out and see the wing shaking like nuts, oh god I almost pissed myself. The emergency exit was located at the wing, and even though anyone could open it, the person seated at the wing was “required” to pull the exit hatch in case of an emergency. Now, that meant nothing, I didn’t really have to do it, the guys in front of me could and it wouldn’t matter, but I didn’t know that. For the rest of the flight, I’d bury myself into the seat, and try to block out the storm and the plane. Thankfully, when I woke up the next morning, everything was calm, and we were flying through puffy white clouds, through the sun rise.

I’m not sure how I overcame that whole experience, but I think the whole idea of flying somewhere and being excited was more powerful than the feeling of being worried and scared. The other day when we flew back into from interstate there was this girl next to me, about my age. She looked petrified, I started talking to her and turns out this was her first time flying. I told her about my childhood experience, and what I suppose was how I overcame it, she calmed down and I got to know her really well.

I got her number, and we are now awesome friends! I love flying now!

TASK 3: Completed

Download the following ebook on generating stories

Read it through from beginning to end.

If you have already selected five stories, select the best THREE of them and use the pointers here to improve them.

If you haven’t, use the ebook to help you come up with five stories. Then select the three most interesting or humorous ones and follow a few of the steps in the ebook to bring them up to performance standards.

Time your telling of each story, and make sure it’s longer than 30 seconds but shorter than two minutes. See Step 4 for more information on this.

Each should have a definite beginning, middle, and end. See Step 16 for more information.

Once you are comfortable with the story, insert into the middle of each a space for the listener to interact. Most interaction points will involve asking if the listener relates to an experience, has an opinion on the experience, or can jog your memory with a fact.

For example, if you’re telling a story that takes place at a Chuck E. Cheese pizza parlor, you can simply make your interaction point, “Have you ever been to one of those?....Okay, so you know what I’m talking about.”

If it takes place in an airport, you might make your interaction point: “It was kind of like that movie where Tom Hanks plays the guy stuck in an airport. What was it called?”

See Step 11 of the ebook for more on interaction points.

Write out the new and improved versions of your three top stories in your Stories To Tell file on your computer.


Haven’t edited these much, I’ll see the more I tell them.

Hitch hiking

Transition topics: Crazy things you’ve done, being late for something important, the weirdest coincidences.

Emotions I want to Convey: Discovery, Boldness, and Surprise.

You know what’s really ****ing annoying? Have you ever just missed your bus? Like see it whiz past as you turn around the corner, into the street with your bus stop? Have you ever run after the bus?

Well I have, I chased that damn bus for 3 whole minutes, every time I got close, it would zoom off!

Anyway, one day I just missed the bus, and I was going to the beach with this chick I had met. I just could not be late! This was important; you know what I’m saying? Damn that bus driver! Made me chase for nothing!

So what do I do? Well, I’m such a genius that I came up with the idea of hitch hiking. So I had my thumb out and everything, I was waiting for someone to stop, man people are unfriendly in my neighbourhood! Not one stopped!

The truck was unlocked! I found my wallet underneath the passenger seat, I was about to leave when I saw them coming! ****!!! MORE BIG HAIRY CONSTRUCTION WORKERS! What do I do? I get the great hair brained idea of scrambling into the back and hiding. Two guys came this time. They talk a bit, get in the car and are about to drive off! Totally unaware that I’m there.

Then it gets even worse! I am so blindly bold that I even stay on, I figure I already missed the bus, why the hell not? You know? Ballsy logics I guess?

So they start up the car, and it’s going down Reid Avenue, awesome, going the right way. They seem to be getting closer and closer to town, all this time, I’m squashed between the passenger seat and the back seats, on the floor scared ****less. And you know what the passenger guy does?

In the end, I was 20 minutes late for my little date, but she was still there, we had an awesome time, beautiful day, she looked so hot in bikinis!

Well, that night, she called, and told me that her dad had the weirdest day; some crazy guy was hiding in his truck and jumped out near North Terrance! Oh ****.

So I think, screw it, and I pop out, about to get my chick friend to help when I see that the store clerk is right outside the door!

She turns, and oh hell! The look on her face! It was priceless! She snatched it off of me, and stormed off. I’m like still standing there with no shirt on, everyone is laughing at me, and I go totally mind blank. Don’t you hate it how that happens when you need it most?

My lips went auto pilot, and the first thing that popped out of my mouth was “*****, that was my dress!” She heard, gave me the most chilling, scariest dagger looks ever, and I grabbed my shirt and ran out.

Hey, by the way I like your dress…

TASK 4: Completed

Use each of your three new stories – with interaction points – at least once in conversation today. You do not have to tell the same person all three stories; just make sure that you use each story at least once over the course of the day.

It doesn’t matter whether you tell them to a woman you’re interested in, a co-worker, a friend, a parent, a stranger, a sibling, a telemarketer, or a circus clown – as long as you tell them.

You don’t have to follow the script or notes you wrote in your Stories To Tell folder; feel free to improvise. But after you recite each story, return to your Stories To Tell file and make any additions, changes, or cuts that will improve the telling.

1. On the way home from school, told to a group of students on the bus, all eyes on me, dominated the frame, used the “Hitch Hiking” story.

2. Hitch Hiking story again, girl on the bus on the way to Melbourne.

3. Walking around Melbourne City with some girls, told them the Cross Dressing story.

4. Walking around, seeing some girls after Melbourne Zoo, told them the It’s Not What It Looks Like Story.

5. On the plane told my best friend the Turbulence story.

TASK 5: Completed

Download and read the following PDF, collecting some of the Disqualifiers posted by your fellow Challengers. It’s great stuff. You should all be proud of yourselves.
