The Last Hour

It's the last hour before you head out. It is familiar for all of us whether we were aware or not. It is basically the last few preperations before heading out to that target rich venue in to what is expected to be a great night. This does not include the usual such as showering, shaving, picking out outfits, etc. This is what you do in the last hour before you role. Before we do head out, we have to prepare ourselves on all levels so that we can present our best selves. So what areas must we work on in order to accomplish this, well here are the most important ones: 

Get into a talkative state: This is extremely important because if you are not in a talkative state by the time you arrive at the venue, you are simply wasting precious time that you could have put to more beneficial use. There are 2 ways that I recommend that guys approach this objective.

If you with your buddies run your material on them: Practicing your routines and gambits on the guys that you’re going out with is a great way to get into a talkative state. It actually serves as a multi-purpose drill because not only will you get into a talkative state but you will also get feedback on your delivery and tonality. If you’re by yourself, call a friend, parents, uncle, etc and talk to them about their day: This is also a great way to get into a talkative state if you are sarging by yourself. By calling someone you get to talk to someone you are comfortable with and as a result you will get into a talkative state.

Run through your cheat sheet and stack cards: This is extremely important so that the information you have is fresh in your head. Nothing spoils a set more than when you are in it and run out of things to say. As result, you are left lingering there and it lowers your value. Ideally, you should go through your cheat sheet and stack cards twice. Why not even three times. The more you familiarize yourself with your material the better it will sound. Just avoid sounding robotic in your delivery; this could also ruin a set.

Have your default opener memorized: We have all been there, we see a set and then……NOTHING! We didn’t follow the 3-second rule and walk up to the set because we had nothing to say. It’s a feeling every guy feels. Some of us turn our bodies away from the set (DLV), some walk past it or hover (DLV), and some blank out and can not think of anything to say. By having a default opener you can assure that this will not happen to you. Also it becomes useful when situations present themselves to you and you need a quick opener to get things rolling. Run your opener smoothly and persistently and you will become a master at it.

Smile for 3 mins straight: When you smile you feel better. This is due to the endorphins that your body releases when you are smiling. By keeping a smile (even a fake smile), your body will flush itself with endorphins and get you in a great mood. It is important to get into that happy and carefree state of mind before walking into the venue. By smiling in your power hour, you will walk into the venue with the biggest smile.

Breathing exercises: Nothing relaxes the body more than simple breathing exercises. Most people underestimate the power of breathing exercises due to the action being so mundane and familiar. Practice breathing in fully from the nose, then hold your breath to the mental count of 4, and finally release your breathe slowly through your mouth. Repeat 4 more times or until you feel relaxed.

20 push ups: Push ups are a great way to release that extra bit of tension before stepping out of the house. It will exert the negative energy away from your body and simultaneously pump testosterone and endorphins through your body. If push ups are too difficult, try doing 20 jumping jacks, or jog in place. The idea is to get into a great state of mind while inhibiting all the bad emotions and tension that may linger sub consciously. Once you’ve completed the objectives above, you should be feeling great. You should be prepared, relaxed, happy, and determined to make the night the best night possible. Remember stay agenda free and out come independent and you will excel your interactions. Keep in mind to always learn from every interaction and keep barreling through. Mastery happens with patience, experience and persistency, but it does happen.

Matador Review – Los Angeles One on One Training

Los Angeles Personal Training, Oct 31 through NOV 3

You guys get ready for this! Do not waste your time reading my post…unless of course your interested in skipping levels&being called a cheater for training with the community’s best pick up artist (Besides Mystery). You will get really good really fast within the first day! (If you apply,focus,listen, and push.) You will be shocked at the end results! However, Matador can only train you as much as you allow him. I didn’t have any boundaries as far as holding myself back so he went all out in training me.

He picked me up from my hotel in L.A then we left for breakfast at a local diner…told him if he had 4days to turn me into a master pick up artist how will he do it..? (Inside I was confident, if it couldn’t be done then i was going to be the closest one to achieve it! Didn’t say it though) So he looked at me&chuckled. Handed me a notebook with a pen and told me to write down everything he says. (No i will not post any material or core concepts he taught me sorry) So the brain transfusion began. I was a sponge in water…A student seeking out answers to questions i have continuously asked…Matador had the answers. (game applies in every convo not just pick up so I learned a life tool!)

o.k so after training all day, got dressed, its Friday night, its game time! Matador’s bodyguard is waiting for us at the red carpet in front of club Social on sunset. Matador’s cool hot girlfriend rolls with us. (she speaks fluent Italian, an actress whose been in Italian movies, &used to model) she showed me her modeling pics their hot! So were in the the v.i.p room inside the club, its Halloween, & almost every girl is hot!!! There were porn stars! (we’ll talk about that in a sec) Matador shows me how to do his “Mayhem Technique” &makes out with this 3set! His girlfriend tells me to go bring some girls to our table, so I go open, attract, and bring a 3set. Isolated my target, then realized she wasn’t my type. So opened&after a little game, made out with this other girl. Matador&I took over! We opened every set, everyone was at our table or trying to get there…Told Matador I am stepping outside for a sec&I’ll be back. When I did, noticed one of the hottest porn stars at the club was out for a quick breather! This was it! Now or never…this was…my chance! It was all on me.

No hesitation I open, negged, non verbal false time constraint, used a DHV I learned that day(along with some other things he taught me) then everything started making sense It was all coming together now, its easy to run game…She was jumping through my hoops&the convo escalated through the stages.(Open, Attraction, Qualification, Comfort) Dude inside i was like WHOA! (applying matadors concepts was key though) So i rolled off at an high attraction point (lethal) then went inside the club found and opened another set. The porn star follows me! And COCK BLOCKS the 3set of girls i had just opened! So i look at her…she looks at me…I smile…then total make out! I spot Matador close by looking at me like, your a quick learner, good job bro! (I think he had expected that from me though.) He was in proximity & giving me briefs on how to play it, which was a good way for the girl&I to get the chance to get to know each other better, didn’t know any other way considering how many times she was getting hit on… So thats how i played it, then rolled off again… So shes chasing me through the club, &the camera crew is chasing her for pictures! Finally i give up, she was just too persistent lol she tells me she’s tired of people touching her&taking pics&wants to leave now.

Matador tells me to meet him at this 24hr restaurant close by. So i left&got a head start with my girl. We get there and waitress tells me there is an hour wait! Matador is stuck in traffic, (horrible on sunset during wknds) &unfortunately for me, my girl is so hot i get AMOG’D by Mystery‘s stunt double…(its Halloween) but i disarm him&3 of his friends with some Matador AMOG tactics (genius). One of the guys was desperate and tried a last attempt by telling me he wants to show me a magic trick…I looked at my target and tell her “look honey dinner&a movie” she laughed I did 2…(it was our moment) Then I txt Matador to tell him whats going on…He txt back “Be there in a minute”

So the alpha guy of the group starts threatening me he’ll bring Tyler Durden to take my girl. So i tell my target to walk away she does, then I looked at the guy&tell him im Matador’s student where the hell are your girls?! (no disrespect to Tyler Durden) anyways the guy doesn’t believe me…Then Matador jumps out the car! This dudes jaw drops! And doesn’t say a word. We go inside the restaurant where my target&I built more comfort. And lets just say…the rest…is whatever your imagination wants it to be (just dnt get weird lol) &no i wont say the porn stars name, we still talk…

On Saturday Matador critiqued my game and we discussed new topics. By night time i felt like a full grown Bull around a bunch of calves! We went to a different club from the one on Friday&I hooked a 3set that ended up being a 6set! My target, a exotic Australian dancer! Who was on tour with her friends..Matador had already hooked in 2-2set’s&was on the third. Our table had too many girls, it was getting irritating though because i just wanted to get to know my target. So after befriending her group was able to isolate. Guys she was tough! I ran 3dhv’s with a combination of other things, she liked me just wont let me kino escalate…So Matador says roll off&fire a jealousy plot line(taught me a gd way to do it, never fails) So i did…But she didn’t like it because she was getting really jealous! So after a while looked at her, smiled, and asked if she’ll behave…She responds with a make out (i guess thats a yes) and then we bounced to matador’s gd friend’s mansion…whose now my friend as well. Lets just…say…the rest…is for your imagination as well…

Sunday we worked on more game. Then we went shopping&put together a custom avatar for my identity! Looked really good plus i kept getting opened by different girls. That night we went to Neil Strauss’s house, where he hosted a pick up artist party! Which i cant discuss (respect to Neil&Matador) what happens inside stays inside…but it was Freakin FUN!!!

Monday he went over any questions&we reviewed everything i learned that night. (not 2brag but call it how it is) Matador&I took over the whole floor (He took us to a club-lounge which gets PACKED on Monday) I stole a 2set from these 2 guys (nothing to be proud of) and Matador got lost in a crowd of 7 girls (so jealous) &then bounced these 2 cool Russian girls to a restaurant…then Matador wanted to go home&chill with his girlfriend, I don’t blame him. (Respect) So i had to hold down court with the 2set. Lets just say…the rest…hmm actually!…you know what…yea…for your imagination!

The following morning my flight departed back to Houston,Texas. Overall I think you should do the 1 on 1 training if you don’t mind going back home seeing other people be envious of your new power. &some guys would misuse this knowledge for their selfish purposes. (Its not cool to hurt a girl, we are men&should protect them at any cost from creeps!) If your not a bad guy then what are you waiting for?! You got to create your lifestyle nobody will hand it to you. Make it happen! Matador you changed my life by sharing with me your wisdom. Which allowed me to achieve a higher intuition level&even a greater level of awareness. And for that…not only do I appreciate…..but would like to take a moment…and Thank You! Was fun being their, as friend, student, and protege….Ttyl brother

Classic Question and Answer with Mystery Part 1

Q+A with Mystery: Fall 1998

AFC: I was extremely nervous during the 50 day experiment. Even more nervous than I expected to be. I don’t doubt that it showed, at least a little.

Mystery: Then just keep doing this till you PERFECT this. If you can get this right, timing and smile and confidence and playfulness and on and on, then you can move onto other scripts. All the other scripts are just as unassuming sexually speaking as the Elvis one. If you are going to use a script INTRO thing, then tell us first so we know you aren’t fucking up with bad intros like complements or sexual innuendo intros.

AFC: I don’t understand what you mean here. How do I manifest ‘being into myself’ when using the Elvis script?

Mystery: hold a magazine and sorta be reading it as you perform the script. Now remove the mag and there you are. Sorta thinking about this Elvis thing and talking aloud to someone. Outgoing people do this BTW.

AFC: That was my first instinct, but I guess I didn’t stick with it for very long. As he was on his way out of the store and glaring at me with daggers in his eyes, I smiled and gave him a friendly wave. His reaction was to become even angrier.

Mystery: Your getting angry was (nothing personal here) the most pathetic ego driven behavioral non thinking thing you could have done. It was unsophisticated, immature, stupid, lame and un-intellectual. The way to win in this life is no longer by strength. It’s by the brain. Don’t REACT to people. PRO-ACT. Think and win. EVERY SOCIAL interaction requires gambits and strategies like in CHESS. Consider learning chess. You will obtain many insights for girl getting.

AFC: I wasn’t especially creative, but I was honest and polite. It was only later than I responded with the same kind of disrespect that he had shown to me. Perhaps I should just have let him walk away.

Mystery: You didn’t recognize HIS feelings. You didn’t have compassion for HIM. You didn’t attempt to connect to the fact that you are both guys and her COULDA been a buddy if this didn’t occur. Bull shit baffles brains and by just misdirecting their attention with bullshit talk (fake facial tics or make random guttural noises). It’s FUN to fuck with people this way if they behave incorrectly. Don’t give them the same talk back, go one step ahead … think CHESS.

AFC: I imagine if I had thrown myself on the floor and started bawling like an infant, he would simply have walked away, thinking he had ‘won.’

Mystery: And then you yell, ‘Nooooooo, don’t …. GOOOOO!!!!’ You are so fucked up man. WINNER. Who’s the winner – he got the girl fucker. Of course he’s the winner. Nothing you can do can make you the winner when HE has the girl.

AFC: I’m not sure anybody would have recognized it as a joke. What does that gain me?

Mystery: Not the girl, so then what you COULD have gained. You aren’t exactly thinking as a player or pick up artist. You could have done this so over dramatically that it would throw him greatly.

AFC: Maybe it’s different at the clubs that you’re familiar with, but at the ’18 and up’ type clubs that I can get into, I just can’t imagine going to a club by myself. I mean, I would just feel absolutely humiliated.

Mystery: And you don’t feel humiliated by our knowing you don’t have the sex appeal enough to have a girlfriend? Does that not … humiliate … you? Alright, so you go alone. You don’t have to TELL anyone. Just say your friend is in here somewhere. Later, you can say you got ditched or something. Your friend went home with a girl.
Easy.

AFC: Everyone would be looking at me like, ‘Why are you here by yourself?’, because everyone, I mean everyone, goes to these clubs with friends.

Mystery: I WORK in clubs dude. This is Bull Shit. Go alone. You can lie. Make friends.

AFC: Is this not the feeling you get when you go to a 21 and over club by yourself? How you deal with this? Since I’m not much of a dancer, I know that I would just feel too awkward about the whole situation, I’d spend maybe 5/10/15 minutes sort of standing by myself trying to look ‘cool’, and then it would get to me and I’d leave.

Mystery: Go alone. Don’t dance. MEET. Go from group to group in there talking to people. Make friends of everyone. Be fun. How can a girl be interested in you if you aren’t INTERESTING in the first place dude. Don’t stand there with a beer you your limp wristed hand. Don’t try to ‘look’ cool. Be cool by chatting with EVERYONE. When I can’t get a friend to go with me (Like yesterday by good buddy Tal bailed out on going downtown with me) I go out alone. I went out alone yesterday. That’s right. Am I humiliated? Well let’s see … I got two girls #s. How many did YOU get?!! Ok, that’s said and done.

Ah fuck who I am talking to away – If you are so insecure about being alone, you will not have the guts to actually approach girls anyway. Stay home.

AFC: There’s something about having friends wit you that allows you to convey the impression that you’re not needy even if/when you get rejected.

Mystery: Girls want guys who are confident enough to go ABOVE this whole thing. In fact, I even TOLD them I came down alone when my buddy bailed on me. And I had a fucking BLAST. I made two new guy buds and got 2 girls #s. OH, AND I met about 10 chicks that night and chatted with them and I even got a drink bought for me. So there. All alone I went. How humiliating.
