Greetings players,
Ol Mez is here... new on the scene at the Don Juan Forum. I've decided I'm gonna take the Bootcamp. The first 4 weeks are probably going back in time with my present skill level but I'm gonna play by the rules and start from the beginning, and plus by the time my bootcamp ends then I'll be heading to LA to sarge with Juggler... so this Bootcamp will do good to get me prepared. I just wanted to post my commitment to the bootcamp so if I don't finish it then you guys can feel free to flame me at blake1_19@yahoo.com

Also if anyone wants to take it with me then just post to this thread that you're in.

day 3 for C

Today was a good day :) ,

I talked to people from the other classes that I normally wouldn't take to. That were 4 persons(lets count those as Hi's), I know this bores you :p , I don't care thats good for me ;) .

Also (here it comes) I talked to a person on the train, though he was male it was a good training and it went smooth:cool: ...
I opened because I had a real question and went on from there:

Credos: Hey, do you know what day it is?
Mr P.: Eeeeeeuuuuuuuhhhhhhmmmmmmm, I think its the 8th.
C: thanks. (Now I noticed he was listening to some music)
C: So what music are you listening too?
Mr P: Oh, just some bests of..

from here I went on asking questions, it was a good practise, felt great having a conversation with a stranger, but it still needed some improvement, because I only found out what his name was at the end of our conversation(when he got out of the train.)

The reason why it bothers me is because IF this was a HB6.5+ I wouldn't have it easy to get the number because she had to leave then...

maybe anybody got some tips on that part :p, else i'll find out myself :D.

Still need more "Hi"'s though, having some problems with that... I can't really get the EC + smile. At least today I had some problems with that... I really need some advice/practise on this part. If they EC + smile ill approach much easyer than if she didn't EC+ smile.

Day 3 week 1

Awesome! Day today!

I don't think I've ever felt so alpha in my entire life!

I went to my usual field testing spot...

The all night department store.

Here it's Wal-Mart

Let me give you a little help in understanding what kind of situation I overcame.

I'm from an area that can only be described as "ghetto." People don't usually talk to people they don't know. Actually people don't want you to talk to them if your not one of their regular friends or family.

Thats what I used to think anyway.

I've said hello to 15 people so far.
15/50

I'll be honest and say that I was really nervous with the idea of making eye contact with some of these thugs in my area. Then something clicked....

I had the concious thought that I was going to say, "Hello" to anyone who allowed me to. Anyone who was in a postion for me to talk to anyway. While doing this most people didn't seem in a hurry to get into a conversation but I did notice something. Almost everyone who I talked to... looked away when I made eye contact. That has never happened to me before. Ever! I've tried eye contact experiments before and always lost because I guess the person thought I was "mean muggin' them. But as soon as I disarmed them with a "hello." They looked away. And that was with everyone! I was dressed nice, and I got the subconcious feeling that people must have thought I was a lawyer or someone important in the city. I've never been treated so well in my life. Women looked at me and men stayed out of my way. Of course thats not what I want. I want to build rapport with men too... I need more friends! Anyway thats what week 2 is for.

Keep in mind that I never felt that I drove anyone away, but I feel like they took a passive role and would have let me lead the conversation if I chose to.

Today was nothing special... had some eye contact with somebody I knew from the past... She's a HB8, A SPOILED brat and I would like to date her, just to break her and teach her a lesson... She thinks she's better than others. NOTHING more than things like that I hate, F***ING SNOBS.

Ow well nothing else happened :p but tomorow big party so its gonna be good practice there :) wish me luck.

BTW good luck to you too Mez :), if you wanna ever talk about bootcamp you can pm me anytime ;)

CIAO :rockon:

Day 4 Week 1

Earlier this afternoon I spent some devoted time developing my public speaking skills using a mirror. Sim's Style! I discussed things with myself that I felt I needed to be reaffirmed. Like what it means to be an Alpha, and how some of the "guru's" concepts fit into my own world view. I also discussed what I'm looking for in a woman. In the end I must say it was pretty fun, and in some ways I attribute it to getting me loosened up for tonight.

I arrived at the mall. I sat in the car for awhile and noted that I felt absolutely no pressure what so ever. It was immediately that I walked through the door that I got my 16th, "Hello." I then casually walked into the Salon and just as I had envisioned... the girl at the counter is a HB7. I instantly saw the potential in her as I stated the reason I had arrived. She had the face of an angel, but inside of her eyes spoke a story of secret fantasies ... The only thing that could keep my mind at ease was the thought of how it would feel to place my hands on her hips and pull her near. I saw that she didn't seem at all fazed by my introduction of, "I need a haircut." And why should she be... I thought as I walked away from the counter with, "If it was up to me then I'd just let it grow out... but the military really doesn't want me to" I was in no way trying to play the soldier card, and I don't think it was peceived in that way. I was just stating what I thought. Which in my opinion is perfectly acceptable on a Day 4 Week 1 bootcamp experience.

I took my jacket off slowly. So slowly that I felt as if a camera should be on me for my close-up shot. It was natural though. I wasn't trying to be cool. I was just so at ease with myself... which is not what I am regularly accustomed to, or atleast I havn't been before. I sat in the chair assigned to the guy that she had designated to cut my hair. I guess I didn't impress her at all! While I was getting my hair cut I occasionaly looked over and saw her not even close to looking up from her magazine to let me make eye contact. I wished I could fast forward myself to a place where I had more game. I talked comfortably with the guy cutting my hair, and I believe I had befriended him. Which he's a real cool guy and I like talking to him so it's not like I had to try to win him over. I started thinking... this guy is so ready to find out about me, why isn't she. Why is she putting on this front? Then I realized how can I be judgemental of her when I am the one who doesn't have the skills or the social confidence to talk across the room to her... to make her day more meaningful. I'm the one with the front... The shy ***** front! I almost had to smile when I came to the realization that it's day 4, and I'll make sure next time I see her my mind will be different, and the next time I see her after that she'll be looking behind her back and licking her lips from a doggy-style position. I got my hair cut and ventured through the mall and got my hellos up to 20/50.

Again I felt it! Just like yesterday... I felt the "Alpha Feeling!" I walked through the mall and no one could stop me. I was the best. These are all somewhat alien feelings to my usual state of being, but I like it! I again, was dressed nice which helped alot, and it made me want to walk like I was the mayor or something. My posture was good, my toneality was strong yet soothing. When I said, "Hello" to other males there was power behind it! They almost always looked away and returned a mere mumble of a hello. I knew in that instant they where weaklings. (lol just joking) I walked into the CD store and from the rap section I saw two samoan males... one looked at me with a an almost steriotypical I can kick your ass grimace. This would have usually scared the **** out of me since I had previously in horrible error placed all samoans in the category, "Gangster." As if this was a moment I had waited for my entire life, I walked up to the guy, and just when the thoughts of getting my ass kicked or getting made to look like a joke started racing through my head.He spotted me walking towards him, and out of the possibility of me initiating a conversation with him, then he turned 180 degrees from me. He wasn't a confident thug at all! He just had the image down. So I stood there looking at the CD's with him in a sort of way that I felt let him know I wasn't an ******* and definately not a *****... and then I continued with accumulating my hellos. When I was leaving the mall I realized the Samoan taught me a valuable lesson by what he did... The way you dress, and the way you carry yourself will give someone an initial feeling, but if someone is confident enough to see past all that and look into the person... then you better be solid in who you are. And that my friends... brings me back to my mirror.

The last two days really got me into a passionate sense of creating art with the process of developing my game. I am totally sold on the idea that game is indeed an art form, and just like any artist I feel it, and breath it in the very essence of my soul. As for my initial accomplishments... While maybe meager to some, I never thought that I could do the things I have done so far, and now I can rest well tonight knowing that tommorow is another oppurtunity to excel.

Week 1 finished!

I got 50/50 just about 15 minutes ago.
At times I thought I was going to have to tackle people and put them in a headlock to give me the oppurtunity to say "Hello"

IT's strange... the week seems like a blur.
I did several hours of eye contact experiments and of course 50 hellos, but I really can't remember alot of what happened. I know I came up with some ideas on what to expect from people.

People for the most part quickly looked away when I made eye contact. Making it alot harder to to get the hello. I ocassionaly got a girl to keep eye contact but not much. I got a couple of girls to hold eye contact and smile! Most guys would either look away when I made eye contact and some would look away then quickly look back and thus give me the oppurtunity for the hello.

Many women would look me up and down... I'm not sure for what reason.

One female worker at Office depot looked up as if to say hello when I walked in, but she totally just stared at me for a second then looked at my shoes as I walked by for a good three seconds without blinking.

What the hell was that all about?

Anyway it's week 2. YES!
