I'm pumped to do the exercises and I can't wait till the results are in. My right eye is lazy and its exotropia looking, could effect the game a little. Just like yellow tooth are a turn off for me. Lets rock this BC!

I am totally pumped too every single day our confidece will be getting closer and we'll be becoming what we want to become.

Early VERY few people out didn't really get ec but had 3 people look sort of in my direction and away I said good morning one guy had headphones. It's good I can really see a difference in the way I am i would like to say the greetings louder with more confidence not just getting them out but as far as how I felt I was totally calm the entire time. I am gonna up my balls though one guy walked by had no interest in talking just staring straight ahead ignoring me I should have yelled GOOD MORNING! and smiled reaction don't matter this is about improving myself.
3/50

Also time for my lifting BTW. hoping to hit some PRs!!!!!!!!!!!! Every workout you can always feel your testosterone drive to suceed and confidence shoot up. PRs just make it even better

I'm ready for this. One thing I definitely want to improve is my speaking with confidence. I can say "hi" to people no problem, but it usually is a timid little wimpy sound that most people probably don't even hear. I've got to say it from my diaphragm.

Today is my first day of work at YMCA camp for kids, so maybe I'll get to see some new people and practice talking to some parents. Tomorrow is a huge day as I start my summer classes at a school down the road. I'm totally new in this city so I'm going to try to talk to a bunch of people there and make some friends.

Im really enjoying the challenge of bootcamp!!!

I did my reading this morning, and headed out. Made lots of eye contact, some with HB's!!!! and greeted 3 people. 1 totally ignored me, an old lady, despite smiling at me, when I greeted she didnt respond...weird

I have also noticed I need to work on my voice when I greet people, it seems quite weak at the minute!

GUYS, are we only responding in this thread about our bootcamp progress, or are we going to make our own threads to log all the details aswell?

Just post in this thread. Post as much as you want anything you would put in your own log just put here.

Alright Awesome! My goal for the day was 10 I was planning to go out and do it at 2:00 but I am already done. I did what I wanted I was much ballsier really made them happen two were yelling to cars with open windows and 2 were real far away from me. One was an HB cougar maybe 30 sumethin not to old we made ec she smiled and I said hows it goin and smiled she smiled bigger it was real good.

I am feeling very confident much more than this morning and proud of achieving my goal for the day. The confidence and happiness showed and I got way better responses. In addition made really good confient ec with an HB 7 (I am btw a very hard grader I don't give tens) and she said hi to me and I said it back. I know they are younger than me but this girl still looks like she is my age and is real hot. After I said hi back to her as were walking by I hear all the girls giggling and excited. I looked at 2 other girls good ec and they also giggled and got excited after I walked by. Those don't count towards my tally btw.

So 10/50

Still I was in a local area which made seeing people I have never seen before not so easy and also people will see me again so I am not quite as risky I am going to need to go to other towns alot throughout this bc.

I have done 13/50 greetings, people where pretty friendly and I just planned with a friend (A natural) to go to the club this thursday, to be honest the challange this week is a bit simple if I'm taking it like it is, Tomorrow I will empliment some BR and NR in my greetings. As well as writing reports about the greetings to get the habit of writing and self reflect going.

I'm just back from my heavy day out, My friend was stuck so I gave a helping hand and brought him back home. I'm getting 6 hours of sleep tonight instead of my planned 9, so lets see if it effects my approaches tomorrow.

Sleep well everybody.

Hey, looks like i got left off the list. I'm still in this. I'm reading it up and will start the exercises soon. I'll keep you guys updated. I figure this should be pretty easy, as I've forced myself before to do eye contact and greetings, but this should be a good warmup/refresher to lead into heavier stuff.

Yo people! I just got back from school and done 4 more, 17/50.

It stands for Breaking Rapport and Neutral Rapport, I think that the pua stuff from RSD is the better way to go, even if its possible that everything is stolen from other PUA's.

Yo!

I just got back from work, I did 8 more greets so i'm at 25/50, almost got half of the goal done ;p The most interresting thing that happens is that I get opened by people, yesterday a cute girl from school turn her head to say Hi to me, and today a grafe aged man, (55-70 y/o) said hi and shook my hand. Its going to be fun tomorrow, but i'm actually more waiting for the week 3's and following for the real challange.

My bad too late to edit it though.
Extended list
Scrouds
Lol


K I got 11 more today. I am usually far more confident. But my confidence wasn't where I wanted it to be because I faced one of my 4 letter words that rhymes with ear and starts with an f. So that is actually a very good thing because the more I face those the more they go away.

The 11 I got just came from power of will today. But I am proud of myself for goin through with it anyway and I know I am dedicated my subconciouse mind takes me more seriously now.

22/50

Am on 18/50 should have got more by now and hope to get a shed load more tonight as i'm going to a Uni night.

I basically play this as a game and try and make the person say hi back to you.

Yeah i know what you mean but i shouldn't really matter. If you're a confident guy then the more mature women are going to respond to you, they're going to think to themselves that they still got it. As for the youngsters then maybe they're shy, or are just bored of creeps checking them out on the street. The difference is you're a Don Juan and can kick all those guys asses!

Well I'm lagging behind... at 3. I'm not counting the chicks at work, or the ones paid to be nice to you (ala retail, waitress etc). Going out tonight to a coffee place to see some improv comedy, so I'll say hi and hold eye contact with everyone there.

I've noticed saying hi is easy for me, its holding eye contact with some people that's the trouble. So I'm going to stress eye contact in this exercise to work on what I know I need to. Its pure confidence to hold eye contact, rather then me looking down.

Action jackson they greet you back it's like them wanting to date you it'll just take time as you get more confident and louder they should I noticed the young girls are more shy. Coffin at my job too I will get lots of convos and greetings but I am not counting those since those are almost forced and are expected. I would reccomend at least doing some so that you are in field.

Scrouds you'll get it spend some time holding eye contact with yourself in the mirror it'll help and for some reason it makes you feel good. (remember the article about eye contact creating feelings of love maybe it is creating more love for yourselft)

K..

I felt real good today once you get yourself out the door and get started you get better and better and feel more and more confident and happy. Some standout ones were an old man on one of those drive around things he didn't look to happy I said hows it goin and he said good but smiled a ton and looked like it made his day I love the ones like that. My confidence was higher today it shows in my walk and people sense it so today more girls were makeing eye contact with me not keeping it but that'll come.

My second last one was awesome I thought that I had done enough (over my goal) then I see a HB8.5 maybe 9 one of those holy **** head turners. Side not I have noticed a good way to get and HB to make eye contact with you is to check her out like lookin at their face they don't make eye contact you look up and down their body check out tits and hips a little then back up at face and they'll make eye contact Theres all crap bout right and wrong way to check out a girl to come off good I have found when I pretend to check them out just to get their attention it goes bad so the best is to really check them out and enjoy lookin at their body (while being confident) I guess it is a nature thing caveman checks out girl girl senses it makes ec ****ing ensues lol.

Well anyway I am like damn she's hot I got to say hi to her I almost didn't do it she wouldn't make ec I checked her out like I said above look at face and she makes brief eye contact and looks away I say whats up she didn't look back and ignored. I am actually proud of myself that I did that I streched my confidence a lot and it'll definetly help me get better it feels so good when your like I don't know if I can do this and then you do it.
