Okay, here's my late but much anticipated field report, the preperations have been set, I've practice my openers, I know what routines I will run, I memorize when to phase-shift, I'm confident, I'm fresh, I'm fly, I'm a PUA (unofficially, but it's my mindset at this time)...SSARRRGE!
Saturday, Jan 31, 2009- A friend of mine is throwing a bday party for his gf at Club Anthro, San Antonio and manages to purchase a booth in the VIP...couldn't ask for a more perfect atmosphere!
"There's no such thing as failure, only feedback"
First set- I open a two set of women, one brown skinned with curly hair and dark lipstick on(the obstacle) and her friend a HB7 (my target). As I enter the set I'm standing directly in front of the two women (first feedback) and proceed with my opener, "Can any of you name the seven oceans?". Both ladies glance at each other then try to make sense of my question (I don't get good responses with this one, and I forgot to give a false-time restraint(second feedback)). Regardless, I immediately run the "Best Friends" routine, however I give all the attention to my target (third feedback) and she's giving me her attention as well...BUT...the obstacle begin giving off IOD's which in turn made my target uncomfortable and unresponsive so I proceed to dismiss myself (you ladies enjoy yourselves), turn and walk away...
Second Set-I head out of the VIP and head downstairs where it is very loud and crowded and immediately I open another two set (really don't remember what they look like, I'll say my target was an HB6 or so) using an impromtu Neg opener (over the shoulder) "You two are doing a very good job at holding up this wall!" (they were leaning against the wall not having fun at all). Once again I didn't give a false time restraint and instantly ask them if they believe in ESP (both say no) so I run the number routine on my obstacle (got her number right (7) and she's smiling now), then I turn to my target and run the number routing on her and guess wrong, then neg her for her lack of energy as the reason I got her number wrong. So far so good with the two set so I invite them up to the VIP so I could better build the attraction with my target, however they were too young to bring up to the VIP (under 21) which caught me off guard (although, I could've used the cute-bratty little sister line) and I excused myself from this set after losing focus and interest in my target....To the dancefloor!
Third Set- Open up a four set of girls who are getting grabbed by guys trying to get them onto the dancefloor once again ab-libbing the opener by saying to the group "don't you all just hate it when people just start grabbing on you?". Again, I place myself directly facing the entire group, and give no false time restraint...my target begins grabbing on me like she was being grabbed on and says "like this?" so I immediately give a "C&F" response and neg her by asking her friends if this was their friend (they say yes) and I use the ole "dress her up...". My target begins to show a little attitude and her friends aren't laughing either, and they began to wonder and get distracted by persistant guys, however I maintain my composure and shift into asking the group if any of them could name the five oceans (I need to stop using this one) to no avail, I've lost the attention of all of them and abit of AFC came from out of no where and I continue to stand inside of the group, doing and saying nothing (actually trying to think of a recovery) so what do I do?....I reach out and I tap my target on the shoulder to get her attention...err, not cool at all Serious, not cool at all. Needless to say I was able to walk away after that moment....although I did try a second attempt to reopen the set, garnishing the same results (Look up the definition of crazy)...moving on.
I didn't open anymore sets after this one but instead I start testing some of the routines with some of the girls at the bday party who already knew me, but haven't really categorized me as friend or mate, read on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
I now regroup with some of my friends who are leaving the dancefloor. One of the girls from the bday party (there with her boyfriend) introduces me to her younger sister who is a HB8 whispers in her ear and asks me if I would watch after her while she goes to look for her boyfriend. Still recoving from an onslaught of feedback, I comply and begin talking with the HB8. No soon as the words start to come out of my mouth, another guy from the party (not my wing) slides behind the HB8 and begins dancing with her and to my amazement she complies. Funny thing about confidence...you're able to brush things off immediately, so I leave the two without jesturing and head back upstairs to the VIP booth where I position myself between two girls I've known for awhile. 1 HB7 and 1 HB5.
Here I decide to go through several routines I didn't get to try on any of the sets I opened. I did strawberry field on the HB7 but got too playful with her when she asked what it all meant so she ended up embarrased and stepped away from the set leaving me with the HB5. NP, although I wasn't really interested in this girl I practiced some more routines with her. We played the "Lying Game" (which btw she owes me starbucks), and I practiced the Cube on her and to my amazement her eyes glazed over abit, however when I got to analyzing the storm part of the cube (where I should have used some C&F) she begin freaking out about what it all meant....instead of revealing the the dark red storm cloud meant (nothing really) I phase-shifted into some NLP by putting her into a happy emotional state and by giving it a color and then having her imagin that color growing bigger and brighter until she could help herself but to crack a gigantic smile which I was able to point out to her. I then told her to minimize that color into the palm of her hand (not sure if I was doing this right) and to close her hand and then reopen it when she wanted to put herself into that happy emotional state again, she did, but then she demanded I tell her what the storm meant but luckily we were cutoff by the closing of the club---->Continues in Field report 1.2
After analysing, here's my feedback of what happened with each of my sets.
(+) I was able to successfully open each set. Was confident. Had a good time overall. (-) I didn't give a false time restraint. I entered directly into two of the three sets. Unable to disarm the obstacles. So focused on material that I wasn't watching for IOI's. Need to come up with story for the 5 oceans opener or get rid of it all together.
Anybody else feel free to provide me with some feedback. Thank-you and stay tuned for the rest of the night. There's three parts to the story, ever wonder what happened to the HB8?
