That’s right guys, lindo’s been hanging out with Mystery & Lovedrop yo!
“You know how we role in the Two Double O 8” – aki
Haha
My heads still in turmoil and excitement from such a crazy rollercoaster of a weekend.
I wont be writing on everything that happened otherwise id be here all day typing so I’ll cover the highlights plus I’ve just about got some feeling in my fingers but more on that in awhile (did I just do a multiple thread mmmm lol)
So where to begin hey? Well I guess it all started when I started hanging out with my good buddy Discovery (the latest member of the VA team based in the UK).
He had just come from the states after doing a VA boot camp and impressed the shit out of Mystery and co. Pulling girls left right and centre so they decided to invite him back over to instruct in the USA where he had a girl every night. He quickly became good friends with them and they all decided to do the VA seminar & boot camp over in Birmingham. Discovery loved my energy and told me to come on board and be an approach coach. At first I kinda shit a brick thinking theirs no way I could do that since
1) my game was nothing compared to his or the VA masters
2) I haven’t ran a structured game mindset in over a year.
But thought why not since it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet Mystery & I needed something to rekindle my love for the game (hence me not posting anymore and just getting wasted on the weekends).
Aaaaywayz….. so the week starts of by me get ripped apart by a dog. It’s a American pitbull that fucks up my legs and hand and im thinking theirs no way I’ll be able to do a workshop but I decide either through sickness or in health im gonna do it so on Tuesday I go to Discoverys house where the infamous Lovedrop (Mysterys right hand man) will be teaching the approach coaches on what is needed on the weekend.
I thought this was cool since the talk wasn’t about game but on how to instruct students. There was Caddy, Cheeky, G and myself as the approach coaches. The talk had a lot of value.
So Thursday roles around and my man Cheeky & I decide to meet Lovedrop & Discovery in Birmingham town just to chill out. We all chit chat over a meal and it was funny as fuck listening to Lovedrop. The guy’s one down to earth dude, who’s unbelievably funny and easy to get along with,.
Now it’s Friday. The big day and I get my lazy ass out of bed and stroll down to the Malmaison hotel where the seminar is. Im not even in the headspace of whats going to happen and just in my own world. I open the door to the seminar room and theirs around 20 guys plus the coaches and fuckin MYSTERY doing his talk! My heart starts to beat fast and I can’t believe what im witnessing. Mystery, live, in real time, in a room with me! After 4 years of watching this guys videos and reading his stuff, the guys in the same room as me. A very exciting time indeed. But I just sit in the back and begin to soak up the knowledge. Lovedrops doing his talk now which is kickass by the way! It was interesting since they’ve moved away from 100% structured model and he talked about their new book which covers a lot of vibing, being uncreative and in the moment stuff alongside realistic principle on how to use routines. Stuff like how guys get baffled and just run routine stacks when really it’s all about the vibe and adding to it than killing the vibe. Very interesting and I learned a lot.
Funny thing was that throughout the talks, and if your like me who’s read and watched everything on pickup, it was similar to what I already know, but something about being in the room when they explained their topics, made so much sense. It was like you could FEEL what they were saying which I could never have gotten from watching a video or reading abook. It finally made sense.
After a looong day of theory, the night roles around and each approach coach gets their students and we all head to a bar named Apres. To be honest (and that’s all I ever am these days? ) my hearts pounding am im feeling some major anxiety. Not like your normal anxiety though. This was different. I had to teach some students (who looked up to me in awe), open some sets myself & prove my value to the VA team. It was a first for me and in the two hours I was feeling the AA but ploughing through. I helped the students open a few sets and corrected them on where they did right and wrong. I got some great feedback from them. Nice.
We headed over to Mechu which was just kickass. I’m going cockeyed, as one eye is on my students and the other is marvelling Discovery, Lovedrop and Mystery do their thing. Dicovery and Mystery are TEARING UP the club! They’ve opened the hottest girls and hooked, locked in, holding court and now got proximity from other women. Mystery was so cool. He has this very playful smile on, and just strolls through the club saying Hi. Hooks everytime. If I had to describe him, it’s basically everything you already thinking. He is larger than life. Physically and energy wise.
The students are doing awesome too. Some of them are already in the VIP area of the club with women. Mystery and Discovery and running kino demos and routines. Funny thing is, these guys practise what they preach. It isn’t like they’ll teach a few stories and gambits and not show you. The guys are ACTUALY USING them in field which really impressed me cos I learned its all about how you deliver and way you say it. Good stuff.
Long, looong, veeery long story short…….. Mystery and Discovery mange to bounce 2 legs11 strippers and 1 FHM/Maxim model back to the penthouse suit (Discoverys room) at the Malmaison. Okay, bye students, L1ndos off to the after party.
What a night!. In the room we have some of the hottest girls ive seen around. People would call them super HB10s but ill call em Dolly girls cos they look like blown up versions of Barbie and Sindy.
Theirs also Discoverys female pivot who’s a stunner in the room. I don’t exactly know everything that happened that night since we all got wasted but the highlights were, these dolly girls trying to compete for attention off Discovery & Mystery in their weird little girl ways and hitting on Cheeky and myself just so they could get a reaction from Mystery and co.
TBH, I wasn’t even in the headspace of laying these chicks since in my mind…. Firstly I dint pull them so there Mysterys and Discoverys even though there’s plenty of hotties to go around, and all I wanted to establish was talking to Mystery on a 1 on 1 level, and did I forget to mention I was WAAASTED!. That’s right, Mystery and I got wasted together. Nice ?
The guy was cool though, since he made time for me and answered questions that id be meaning to ask him like, what happened in the game, he’s views on the the whole PU community, how he made it to where he is today, business related issues, personal stuff, all he’s beefs etc, etc. The guys a cool cat. Showing off magic tricks and an insight to his game.
At one point I was taking a piss in the urinal and when I turned around their was Mystery getting a blowjob off the female pivot. LOL. I saw Mysterys cock yo!. HAHAHA Funny shit. “May I cut in” is what I said. Gotta love soundbites. Cheeky and Discovery have been taking the mick out of me all week and before anyone starts busting my balls, I know its gay and corney but funny nontheless. LOL
It’s like 10:00am now and its only Discovery and I with the 2 dolly birds. These girls are nuts. So high maintenance. They argue one second then “kiss” n makeup the next. I tried getting into their conversation cos it was some random excitement but Discovery tells me to not interfere and carry on talking amongst ourselves. He said their like little girls wanting attention and if you get sucked in. you lose your power. So we chatted about our own shit since it was our reality and the girls were part of it no matter how hot they were. 2mins later the girls are both in to us again. Its little things like this that you learn out in the field and im glad he pointed it out. So I leave about 10:00am while Discovery has a 3some with 2 of the hottest girls ive seen. He deserved it since he has done a lot for the night. Good stuff bruv.
Its now Saturday and everyone’s feeling wrecked from the night before. Some more seminar time and then were back out in the field. We head up to Oceana since it’s a good place for the students to learn. Plenty of women and different bars for them to practise on. All I can say is, ive never seen anyone OWN a club before. We had the VIP room booked and everyone including the students had swarms of women coming in and out of this room. I got to watch Mystery do his thing text book style. He opens, negs, hooks, qualifys etc, etc. It was a beautiful sight.
The most amazing part of this night was when he says “Right, Lindo. We shall head off to the Ice Room just you and I” “Oookay” I say.
I’m getting nervous since it’s like a 1 on 1 with this guy. By the way, the ice room is the LOUDEST room in the venue where everyone’s drunk and going caveman on women. Mystery walks in followed by myself. This 6foot skinny white boy in a room full of asian and black guys. EVERY guy and girl just stopped and looked at him. He strolls through the room with a nice big smile, eyeballing everyone saying hi. Everyone he sees smiles and says hello back. Even the meanest rough looking guys. He’s always pointing out and talking game and goes into how everyone’s a social robot and how no ones a special snowflake since we all have the same emotional circuitry. Lol. He points out a 10 set and tells me to go in. Im like “WTF”. But their all small, ugly girls (the ones Cheeky normally goes for). And from past experience, there the hardest to open since their so bitchy.
But I go in and guess what…. BOOM… I get blown the fuck out. Mystery comes over and says well done. My problem was I sat down to quickly. “Now let me show you how its done ? “ In 1minute and 30 secs, these girls that were super feisty are all over his shit. He just talks he’s talk and makes her drinking straw disappear. She wont let him leave. Amazing. Other women see this and all line up around us. I now know what proximity is. I mean REALY know. Then he strolls through the club and spots the club dancer girls dancing in their little booth. I tell him Discovery pulled one. He loves challenges and goes over. He looks at her, smiles and does a pinky hold with his little finger and she complies and comes of stage. He then roles off and talks to me for 10secs while she stares at him waiting for him to talk and as he moves in to talk to her again, she gets groped by some drunk dudes and runs off. So close.
Some bouncers keep stopping him about taking of his hat. This is like the 10th bouncer and Mystery kinda gets alittle irritated. The guy leans into the bouncer and tells him off. That’s right, he cusses the bouncer. He’s eyes all go all massive like their gonna pop out his socket. The bouncer doesn’t doesn’t know what to do (I think this a first for him). The bouncer apologises and I see the other bouncers in the background laugh. The impression that I got was, he’s like a really cool guy but don not fuck him. Sorta like Joe Pesci from godfellas.
The guys like a super star where he has women around him at all times and girls come up to me and ask “is the famous. Who is he”. Then theirs guys and girls who were approaching him all weekend recognising him from the show “the pickup artist” & the seduction community. He makes time for everyone.
Everywhere we went that weekend; it was like we were Super Stars. Bouncers that normally wouldn’t let me in, would kiss my ass. Women were all asking about us. I told everyone, we were the VH1 show team, and we’re checking out the clubs in the UK for filming our next show. All the students were camera crew etc. (I had to make something up. How else do you explain 20 students in a club macking the ladies).
Okay, that’s enough typing, and im not gonna go into Sunday or Monday except it was cool just to go out with the VA team (instructors and approach coaches) without no students. Good times.
If you asked me a week ago if id pay to go a MM bootcamp and role with Mystery for £3000 or whatever it is, the answer would be HELL NO…. but I gotta tell ya, today if you’d ask me the answer would be a HELL YES!. This is aint no bullshit. The guys the real deal. Everything he talks about he demos. As he put it….. his method isn’t the right way, just he’s method. The “Mystery Method” and its what works for him so he teaches it. He has a lot of love for all the different coaches and training schools out there.
I just wana to say, THANK YOU to my boy Discovery for giving me the chance to be part of the team. If it wernt for him, then non of it would be possible. Im sure this aint the last time I’ll run into the VA team again and I feel its gonna kickoff pretty big in the UK. I just need to get my game “up to speed” as Mystery would say.
Next stop will have to be Hollywood and the playboy mansion (sorry guys, cant help adding some DHV spikes) HAHAHAHAHA
There’s a lot more to add and I could be here for days but im cutting it short.
Thanks for reading.

I went from just getting shut out and hanging in the corner like a dork fly on the wallpaper to being able to talk to girls and have some of them hang onto my arm, smile while being chatty, laughing, or just sometimes want to keep talking for a little while..
No full lipaction but I’m getting girls to show me their more private tattoos (in a restaurant) lean in alot and have many women hang right around where I am, and I like it already….I just need to relax more and get into more practice in conversations, definitely getting them used to kino and me being a touchy-feely-fun guy.
If you talk about a NERRRrrrdddd/dork you would look me up until I was probably 15. It’s not that I was terribly fat or ugly but man social, whoah I was more like clueless.
THE INSTRUCTORS AND GUYS THAT WORK AT VA ARE THE FUCKING MAN DUDE. They will hang out with you, they hang out with each other and answer your questions when they could be at the hotel hanging in a jacuzzi, mackin women, being crazy around LA. They really try to get you comfortable and impact a huge amount of information and stuff into your head and go out of their way to reach out to you when you’re there in the club sweating your balls off thinking holy shit dude I’m going to crash here, they are there to help you through it.
I have a longer version that tells you all they did for me personally and what I got for my money’s worth from the three days. Check it out below this post.
So like a lot of guys I started off a month ago just
being kind of intimidated by women pretty easily and
vaguely random girlfriend-shows-up-in-my-life
relationships.
At the end of the bootcamp it’s like huge pieces of a
Jenga jumble of my old belief system just come
crashing down, I mean all the field experiences I had
with Hawaii were really eye opening let alone what the
others presented..and I found myself realizing HOW I
had gotten some girls really interested the few times
I did or they opened me whereas when I was trying the
old job interview boring ass shit they hear all the
time, it won’t.
First off we have Mystery
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWnPH-kXeZM
, now there’s a ton about the man that you won’t even
realize at first except that he’s real open and a fun
thinking guy you’d love to be the friend of. I had
trouble keeping up after I was prepped watching
several spaced hours of his teaching footage, paying
careful close attention to what he says in The Game
especially when he’s revealing things to Neil, and how
he really treats you like you’re a full cool-capable
human being who could add to
society if he just knew how and could be made happier
-
or if you see how he talks about multiple threading, I
mean when he talks about switching between
different subjects not just in canned material but
other things he’s thought of or situational
openers/gambits that he’s using. He will use the
google earth opener that requires a lot of careful
attention to words and delivery, have a 5 questions
game going be laughing and making a comment off
another girl, I mean when you see him click it’s
insane. Then he’ll just be kinoing and letting them
talk and talk him/themselves up while he goes and bam
starts integrating sets especially with other
wings/buddies who can share in the spoils of good
conversation.
YOU COULD WRITE 200 PAGES ABOUT WHAT HE PRESENTED IN
THAT TIME AND IT WOULD STILL BE A WEAK
IMITATION because so much was asked and there were so
many detailed and subtle parts to it, and even
after all the prep work I did before this seminar I
STILL had 3 pages of self made notes as well as things
I thought of since then based on the material he
presented.
What’s not to like about the guy??
Matador can be best described as a guy who also didn’t
understand why he wasn’t having a huge amount
of fun despite his goals and then totally transformed
himself in and out. When he’s telling everyone to
GET ORGANIZED AND BE THE MAN YOU WANT TO BE and he
kicks the fucking chair away he’s saying
our avatar has to be congruent with the person we plan
and work to be, period. How and why he is getting
as much body language congruency and power is because
he is his own boss, James Matador, period, and
the last three years have given him more than the last
twenty before, and if you saw as many hot girls
hanging around him as I did you won’t have any silly
questions whether "does it really work" "are girls
wanting guys" "can I really get there" YES YOU CAN but
you cannot be a pussy and you have to work for it it
is not a free lunch ladies and gentlemen. And thank
you for the fashion tip the chain didn’t fit my day3
outfit.
Lovedrop, what can you say, he has a real thought out
approach I mean I think if you talk about words having
power he was a guy who you realize gets girls to think
in a different way and he just made things like
kino escalation make a lot more sense even to the
introspective kid that can sometimes come out in any
one of us. And he’s like not sure…then try it or do
what you’re already doing and see if that works…no,
go DO IT. And in terms of concrete snippets, facts,
observations about my own approach I made the most
paper notes during his talk out of anyone else’s and
that tells me that this boy has done his homework.
(The Game isn’t about catching butterflies with a net
it is being the Bright Light that everything gets
attracted to)
(As social animals we can share emotional information
not just numbers or facts..which one is more related
to our species development anyway? HOW DO WOMEN OFTEN
COMMUNICATE?)
(lots of other stuff…)
I thought Kosmo‘s speech was really good and I was
pissed off that I didn’t get him so much at first
until I went out and tried it and then thought of what
I had seen the other guys do and WHAT WORKED. GIRLS
RESPOND TO ENERGY NOT ROBOTS ACTING POSSESSIVE OR
WEIRD. They just like us (or some of us!!!@@) WANT
TO HAVE FUN. They are not wired on what time did you
file that report oh yeah we have a meeting at 11:35
and there were 5 pens there and I had 10 emails from
management pile up and SHUT UP you need to be kind of
like a kid you know you love a girl that cracks you up
or forces you out of your head too so BE THAT GUY life
is supposed to be fun before people make it so
complicated and self centered bring out some joy share
it with girls too because they’re people not just your
friends. They happen to have a pussy and may decide to
gladly share it with a funny, fresh, cool guy who
doesn’t need them and enjoys meeting people and adding
value!@
Wow dude Discovery was an amazing dude too he had two
separate presentations and I almost felt like a bozo
when I complimented him on his badass outfits because
he like stood back and was thinking wow is that all
this guy took away from me talking he must be not
listening to a goddamn thing I’m saying.
He had scary good verbal and kino/body language
openers just basically had girls doing stuff you’d
kind of think was porno movie except he’s really just
a fiesty English/Irish sounding fella who does not
give a shit he knows he’s the baddest ass freak that
girl’s ever going to talk to and THEY RESPOND TO HIM
THAT WAY.
When he talked about the color/trait presentation and
observing others I know he was talking about how to go
about making fast decisions based on BL and the kinds
of routines/way you interact with a mixed set. There
were three separate guys who witnessed some approaches
and although his energy is also really attention
getting he, like the rest of VA, wants everyone to do
well and has done amazingly few approaches considering
his aggressive style and success rate but the cat is
smooth, bro. And you feel it you know when he moves
through the crowd they will notice Him and not the
other way around. Him and Kosmo made me realize that
yes it is really possible to be fun and forceful in
different ways yet be totally sincere and have a great
time.
I was also glad to be able to meet Joe D. who totally
is the fun talkative guy I AM WITH MY FRIENDS and such
a great warm character who was open and awesome, he
totally hung with the VA crew and would talk to any of
the students/people who came up and wanted to ask
questions or even just be with us, and he WASN’T EVEN
OFFICIALLY PRESENTING his ass could’ve been home
talking to girls kicking back in the jacuzzi or
something
man.
and last but not least….HAWAII
OMG dude that kid has mad respect from me he took us
Chewie Everett and myself out to several different
venues through seating changes and time changes and
targets/parties switching locations and all throughout
demoing for us correcting us helping us get our sets
in asking "What’s going on" "Where are you getting
stuck" "DO THIS OPENER PLEASE follow up with this get
in there man make it happen" "Here bro I’ll go in no
reason to be worried guys just watch
close" then afterwards "Did you see how it hooked how
the bodylanguage was different SAME WORDS" and all
this kinda stuff it really helped wow I realized how
it was possible and I felt like something really
changed like I *could* do this if six months ago he
was not the badass asian kid who was cooler than
anyone in there and just had NO FEAR you could also
tell the man was congruent inside and out he wasn’t
taking shit from a girl and if she was being boring or
uncompliant, NEXT!@ Because he knew how to be playful
and fun and GET IN THERE……I had gotten a call one
night after I went home for going out again but I
think my phone was off then I was like AHHHHHHHHH I
would so have paid $$$ to get that night back with my
bro Hawaii man he really cared about the three of us
to get experience in the field. GLAD WE GOT THAT
SECOND COOL PIC BRO hehe nice. I thought to myself
drunk one evening yo I wonder if that kid played
Starcraft ever I’d so be a good wing to him but I
guess I’ll just buy him a drink sometime once I get
field experience and see the cool cats at VA man. Dude
send my warm happy cool fuzzies for the other bros
that were out there and could’ve done other shit WISH
I HAD MORE TIME AND WAS LESS STRESSED BEING OUT IN THE
NIGHT enjoyed all the conversation and hanging out
with those cats too man.
All these guys really cared. They stayed late, they
stayed for a lot of each other’s stuff, they tried to
joke around and help us through what was or wants to
be a great transitional period for us guys out there,
and I felt there was a certain real effort being taken
to get to everyone they could. Every VA guy in that
room even some of the other kids Jorg and Freddy and
several more that were hanging out with students and
people helping each other too.
I’m also happy got some numbers of dudes in the
northeast and we’re making it happen now! THANK YOU
ALL Viva Los Angeles!!@

This has been my second bootcamp with Mystery. I especially liked this one because it was a small group of 7 or 8 and I got alot of personal attention from both Mystery and Matador. My sticking point has been mostly in comfort building, and Mystery really gave some good advice on story telling and comfort routines. He also taught us a couple magic tricks on the side. By the third night, I could easily open girls, and carried on conversation with them for 45min inside a loud club. Mystery also helped me form my Identity which was a sticking point for me. All in all it opened my eyes, I really enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone man as a life changing event …
