Pick Up Artist Reviews
I’ve been out sarging on and off for about 18 months and, whilst I’ve had a few notable successes, in main the results have been pretty thin.
I’ve recently had a series of 1to1 sessions with Beckster, to try to improve my game.
We’ve done bar game, dance game, street game and sarged at Erotica.
Every time we’ve been out something has happened that has changed my view of what I can achieve through game.
I have:
1) f-closed 2 girls I met on the same night (something I haven’t done since the early eighties!), in both cases on the first meeting with the girls
2) met girls on the dance floor (one of whom I f-closed) – something I thought I was too old to do any more
3) met a hot girl less than half my age for six minutes in a shopping centre, exchanged a few texts, arranged a day2, bought her lunch and ended up making out with her in my apartment that day
4) got the number of the girl I found most attractive in the whole place at Erotica (and confidently expect to f-close her)
I think you could safely say I’m a satisfied customer!
I think there are a few reasons why I’ve had so much success with Beckster:
1) Beckster is very cool. When I’m out with him, I think I’m cool too and I guess it changes the way I interact with girls. He’s out there smiling chatting being friendly and I end up doing the same. He opens A LOT, often only for a quick exchange of banter, then returns later if interested. Girls have often noticed how gregarious we are, before I open them.
2) I’ve used the first hour of our sessions to strategise about the text game, phone calls and day2s I’ve been having. I’ve often got hot girls numbers in the past and failed to get day2s. That hasn’t happened at all recently. I’ve failed to f-close several of the day2’s but that’s a MUCH better problem.
3) Beckster always has a suggestion - usually several. Whatever the situation, whatever the girl has said – he’s seen it before. We’ve never failed to come up with a good plan. The failures I have had came from failing to implement the strategy.
A few other semi-random points:
1) I like Beckster’s game. I think he can teach different styles, but everything he’s taught me is basically enhancing what I already do, rather than trying to re-build me from scratch. I have mostly used my usual opinion openers (nothing different to the stuff everyone on here knows) plus Beckster has encouraged me to use situational where I can. I’ve used my usual routines (also from the public domain) plus a couple of his that I feel comfortable with. My kino style is somewhat similar to his anyway and I didn’t change it that much. I think I’ve acquired a little bit of Beckster’s body language and mannerisms with positive results.
2) He doesn’t spend a lot time wittering about inner game (thank god). We just create situations and enjoy figuring out how to make them work. Inner game improves primarily through positive feedback from practical experience in my view.
3) Beckster is enormously positive and encouraging, but not in a ‘la la, every day and in every way you are getting better and better’ type of way. He just points out specific negative and limiting thoughts and shows why they are wrong.
4) Beckster in extremely patient (almost too patient) he was happy to follow me around while I opened throw-away sets in the shopping centre for an hour until I was ready to try and get a number. When I was, it went like a dream! Hurrah!
5) I have had an immense amount of fun with Beckster. That’s elevated my mood and changed the reaction from the girls I’ve met and of course it’s good thing in and of itself.
I’m aware that I haven’t written any blow by blow stuff about what we did or where we went. If I did you would find the conversations and locations unremarkable. It’s the same stuff I do all the time. It just worked better than usual. I think that was for the reasons given above – although I’m still slightly scratching my head!
Scoop
The guy is intense, always on the alert for any IOIs coming of any woman at any time. We would be walking down the street and he would be spotting both the IOIs that women were giving me in addition to himself! I am a firm believer in improving your inner game and taking the inside to outside approach to pickup whereby you work on your insecurities and negative beliefs and thought patterns primarily whilst starting off. However to learn productive ways in which to think, the journey can be more rapid by spending time with people who have their inner game locked down and copying the things they do well. A lot of people who come into the game are stuck in their heads, myself included, although less so now and I hardly remember having my primary focus on myself whilst interacting and sarging with Beckster during the time in Germany just by interacting with him and even more importantly just having a fun time out there!

I did a 1 on 1 with Beckster on Wednesday. It was about 1.5 to 2
hours of seminar type stuff, and then in-field for the rest of the
night. As he has been in the game for 9 years, he is likely to be far
ahead of most people, hence he can tailor the workshop to where you
are at. I've been in the game since March 2005, with a few months
breaks. Starting club sarging April/May 2006 (when I moved out of my
parents house), and to be honest this is where the real education is
beginning.
I have previously done an MM workshop in January. I decided upon this
because a couple of months prior, Mystery showed a group of us 30 of
his ex-girlfriends, who are all 9s/10s/supermodels, which is exactly
what I want (he had more to show, but we ran out of time). My
personal opinion is that it's important to know the QUALITY of
girlfriends an instructor has had. (As well as MM instructors, RSD
instructors f-close models, see video evidence, but I can't say any
other big instructor does.).
Except Beckster, who also gets the kind of women I want. Ask him for
his resume. It rocks! 
Firstly, we discussed my goals with women. He gave me his own
personal example of what he wants. Then I told him mine (which is
similar to his). I told him the current situation, and he understood
where I was coming from. To be brief, because it's rather personal, I
told him that I want to attract several 10s and make them, into my
GFs, who will be true to me, rather than ONS/FB etc. (Although I don't
mind FB/ONS).
We talked about the situation with my GF (don't worry, it's a high
quality problem! See the bikini photos of her for example, *not
posted publically* ) and future GFs to add to her.
After talking, he got an idea of my game (which is very MM based,
solid though, it works.) He spent some time giving me his own brand
of inner game concepts for me to think about. These were REALLY
useful. To find out, take the workshop.
We discussed many outer game tactics. He's come up with his own
original tactics that are $$$$!
For example, if a girl is surrounded by 5 guys all clamouring for her
attention, I would flash game a set in front of her and then open her
with a girl on my arm. I'm sure the MM instructors here
(LondonPlayboy and Sheriff) would do similar. There are other ways
too, like for example Bish's game is so good that he can just walk up
to the girl and game her directly in front of the guys.
Now, Beckster has his own interesting way of what to do in this
situation. And it is really unique and works!
Beckster does remind me of Mystery, in that he has been doing this for
years! So he is like a DICTIONARY of how to get girls!
He can probably solve any situation regarding picking-up a particular
girl. Just ask him about any situation.
Here my field report from the bootcamp (reposted with personal
information edited out):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her name is XXXXXXXX, and she is XX and from XXXXXX. I am in love with her.
It was pretty much MM, i.e. negs, DHV etc. She was actually a model
waiting for friends. (I thought, she's a prostitute because she was
on her own, so I was just opening her for a laugh).
(Note: On the way to the venue, we keep bumping into a couple of what
look like hookers. Tall Russian type girl dressed in a red dress, and
a black girl all done up, considering the area, definetly high-class
hookers! 
We see them again at the main venue, they leave, no
tricks tonight.)
Back to Svetlana. I did use the hand model neg on her, quite funny.
So then she jumps through a hoop, and shows me her modelling pictures.
She looks really HOT in them. I think to myself, if I f-close I'm
gonna scan and post that shit up on the PL!! Because I love you guys!!
The game I used on her was more intrigue. So my usual game. (Although
I want to practice higher energy game...)
She does kino. She wasn't tooling me with kino, because it only came
when she began to view me as interesting. So I don't do the whole
hands off the merchandise.
I do the trust test. She fails. I punish her.
I must have done a DHV at this point.
I do A3. She jumps through all the hoops. VERY EASILY now.
I must have done a bit of grounding.
A DHV.
She is REALLY likes me. She spends 10 minutes drawing a picture of
herself, with stars etc. Time-bridge, and she is really enthusiastic
about me teaching her how to kite-surf. her friends arrive and I ask
how everyone knows each other. Time bridging was EASY. I stay for a
bit and then eject and go back to my friend.
Beckster tells me how she keeps looking over at me.
A few minutes later, she comes over and opens me and then sits by me.
It's annoying because I can't remember exactly what I said, but I
somehow get onto reading her palm. It works. I should have done the
Mystery kiss tactic at some point. But still I think it is REALLY
solid. It seems that models really like all this "what do you have
going for you more than your looks?", whereas normal girls don't
really appreciate it.
I can't explain the level of compliance I got with her. Really
awesome. The mistake was that I didn't kiss-close. But my kino was
good. Compliance was more than good.
Here's what's interesting. I do the trust test later on after the
palm-read, and she now passes it and gives me full compliance. I
explain it to her, and she says: but of course, now I trust you
because I know you better...
It's because I demonstrated more value, did more A3 and built more comfort.
I liked the fact that we are kinoing each other properly. I liked the
way the cheek kiss from her was wet.
I try for a venue-change. She is in favour of this. But has to check
with her friend who works there, and her friend wanted to go to
Chinawhite. We were going to go to somewhere else.
I decide that it's best to build a jealousy plotline now.
While she is talking to her friend. The second guy I am with, opens a
2set. etc.
I game the second girl of this new set, get her on my arm and walk
over to Svetlana. I introduce them to each other. Talk about where
they are from (Girl2 is from Ukraine, Svetlana is from Russia).
I then take Girl2 and walk back.
I dunno if I did this the best way. Maybe two girls would have been
better. Or merging into a new set (not just a single girl).
Talk some more. Then go with my friends. This seems solid. We
really connected.
I think those are the most important points.
It seems that game is really suited to models. I tried exactly the
same game plan on a UG at the next venue, and it doesn't work. She
just goes: "Why are you this interesting to girls?", which normally
when a girl calls you INTERESTING, she is attracted. But instead, the
UG just went and talked to another guy.
----
Barmaid at Eclipse.
This also made my night. The barmaid is from Poland.
(I initially was gonna use the barmaid to enter a set of a hot girl at
the bar because she was surrounded by 5 guys. But later up close,
with the barmaid on my arm, realise that she wasn't as hot as I
realised, so I sticked to the barmaid.)
I Neg, DHV etc. It's annoying because I don't remember exactly what I did.
Her buying-temp is REALLY high, giggling, and trying to shut down her
buying temp. by pushing me and then pulling me back in. It's like how
Tyler describes this: where the girl goes something like: "oh my god!
(kino excessively), I can't even talk to you anymore (run away)".
Every 5 mins, she says to me: You're really fucking amazing. Oh my...
I can't even talk to you anymore...
Other things she says are:
"You are the devil."
"You eyes are amazing."
And silly shit like that.
Compliance is KING.
I get ALOT of kino compliance and everything.
She complains about her boss, the other barsteward.
>>>>My computer gave me a warning saying it is going to crash in 5
minutes, so I'll wrap this up.<<<<
I say to her: "would you like to kiss me?". She says: "Yes"
KISS****
Wrap her arms around me. etc. Physically move her around, and she
complies fully.
Sit her down at the table. Number exchange. Guy on other table gives
me that look/nod of approval that naturals give you when they realise
you are one of them lol.
I'll explain later. Later find out that Bar Manager she was
complaining about is her boyfriend.
He goes downstairs, and then we kiss some more. (me and the barmaid,
not me and her boyfriend)
Beckster (who has also pulled a blonde girl) says to me, we go? I say
yeah, let me finish pulling this barmaid. He and his girl wait for me
outside.
(The three hottest girls at eclipse are Becksters blonde girl, the
blonde girl who was surrounded by 5 guys, and the barmaid.)
I A3 and build a bit of comfort, but the bar is closing and her
boyfriend is back anyway. It's about 1 or 2. They have to stay to
clear up until 3. Can't be arsed waiting that long, it's a shame.
But it was fucking awesome! May or may not be solid. One thing was
for sure, she was IN LOVE with me! 
. Beckster extracts his girl
with him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So there you go!
Awesome night, thanks to Beckster for his workshop. I was able to
practice some of the things he does later on in both main sets. When
I first met him, I thought his game is very different to MM, but
really, GAME IS GAME, it's all the same. A guy like Beckster can
teach you GAME.
I thoroughly enjoyed his 1 on 1 workshop. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Questions? Comments?
Max
I had a 1on1 with Beckster two days ago and I like to share my experience from our session.
I think that I fairly progressed since our last meeting which is good.
I reached new sticking points and overcame the ones I dealt with last time
I had a certain feeling of excitement before meeting him. The decision to go back to a session with him was made rather from an emotional response than a logic choice.
I still had our last session in good memory so I thought this one is going to be good as well.
Anyway, this one was at his place again so no infield. Beckster was as smooth and energetic as I remembered him and welcoming as I entered his lair.
My issues for this time were text game, flakeyness and dance floor, but again all inner game related or more finding the HOW for the WHAT.
Even though it was only the 2nd time that I was at his place I felt a bit like walking down memory lane. Why? Maybe because I was at his same place just a few months ago with severe inner game issues and now I was sitting there and could feel how different my life was the last month or so after weeks of not sarging. Sarging has become a part of reality. The desire to go out is stronger now than to stay in doors and chode out.
I managed to get out and keep going besides bad nights.
It was cool to sit there and share a bit of my experiences instead of saying I am bad with women, oh no, and that stuff when it turns out all you do is stay in doors.
Beckster covered my sticking points with smoothness and using metaphorical language and exercise to re-program my beliefs (e.g. tearing a phonebook in half) One part is in my room as a trophy the other half I think is still at his lol
Funny enough I understood everything he explain to me. It did not feel like training or instructor/teacher and student. I did not feel like a student/client to him, I felt respected for what I am and what I achieved in my short PUA career.
Its really about finding the HOWs. Every sticking point is WHAT for every HOW. There's no "I CANT DO THAT" anymore. Its now in my mind more a "I WANT TO DO THIS... AND I DO THIS ANYWAY!
Now what do I got out of this? The strength to know that I can get to my aim in life, that I will reach the level of mastery I want to be at. If I close my eyes I can see my life track in front of me and it looks fucking golden amazing. The future looks AWESOME!!!! yes! yes! yes!
I most importantly learned to act, to do something when I know how and not doubt my success on it and keep persisting on it. Not to give up straightaway or get paranoid about sticking points.
You guys might wonder why I went back to Beckster and not someone else? Mainly because the first experience was awesome and so was the 2nd one. I knew that I would get the help I wanted but also the understanding of me as a person. He is awesomely supreme as a person, highly energetically charismatic and that mate you want to hang out with to talk about PUA (which is how it felt like) and life.
I get the feeling with him that he has the deep desire to help guys out with the game and that it is for him more important to him to see other guys improve their skills through his guidance and encouragement than fame and money.
All my sticking points suddenly seemed ridiculously easy, but I also understood the structural method behind them and not to just use them just as technqiue to copy, but personalizing them to my own needs.
I left his place with an immense feeling of hope and strength and also encouragement.
But all those feelings didn't come from me... it was my reaction to what happened.
I reflected on the train back on what happened and I was very happy and felt the desire to sarge but at the same time a feeling of sadness and thankfulness about what happened. Its hard to describe. Maybe a simple THANK YOU! will do for now.
It was worth the time and effort and I think I can say that feeling is mutual.
I had that feeling a week ago that massive intuitive feeling to contact him and I did. And in the train I did feel that for me personally I was glad I have done it.
The AFC days are over... I am on a new path...
Thank you, Beckster!
Yours truly,
Eloquence
My first session, about two weeks after the bootcamp, involved us going to Notting Hill where he forced me to open sets continuously. I was given two openers to say to the girls, both of which involved asking for their opinion on relationship issues. Approach anxiety within a few weeks was minimal, the highlight was opening mixed sets using Rob’s engagement ring opener, holding the attention of the guys of the group and walking away with my head held high from gaining the respect of the group!! I remember being so elevated after my first session where I got three number closes that I could hardly sleep that night!!
A few weeks later I remember being on a one-on-one with Rob, we were in a bar in Chelsea, full of very good looking girls and guys who were splashing the cash and he told me to walk all the way across the room and open these two girls who were deep in conversation with each other. After calling him a cunt (he allowed me to swear at him before going in set as it relieved the tension and I recommend you should all do this ) for him telling me to approach some girls who I thought were way out of my league at the time, I relented and went over, and opened with his Wanted or Needed routine followed by his Three Criteria test. They were soon eating out of my hand, got them to join our table and then found out that one of them, the one who I was interested in and was sitting at our table was a porn star.
I didn’t go for the full close as was scared of pushing the boat even further. Whilst I was walking with her to Boujis after from the bar we were in, my lack of dominance or leading was apparent (although not to me at the time) and after I had been blown out by her in the club, my final comment received from Rob at the end of the night was that I needed to lead more. He then proceeded to get a threesome with two American girls who he had brought from the previous bar along with pulling the porn star who I had opened!! And turning down Kate Middleton as he didn’t know who she was and said she was a bit fat!!
Anyway I decided to do a 1-on-1 bootcamp with Beckster in Scandinavia in November, which I guess was the time I started going from an unconscious incompetent to a conscious incompetent. Don’t get me wrong, I had many successes such as kissing girls in under a minute in Boujis during my sessions before this but I never really fully believed in what was possible and I think that has only really come now. Being pushed into set after set in Scandinavia, day and night time (I now believe any dichotomy between day and night game should be avoided if one is using it as a reason to limit themselves as we are all sexual beings with our sexual drives which should not be sublimated at any time), really opened my eyes and highlights for me included pulling three girls in one night, getting phone numbers galore, and seeing the teacher in action. Every night was a different girl for Rob, and he made it look so effortless.
Following my trip to Scandinavia, I went to Madrid to see a girl who I had slept with in London a month before, my only full success so far having started the game in May. I remember being told by Beckster one of my biggest problems was dominance, the first time I met her in a bar in London, I fluff talked with her for a bit as she was a friend of a friend and whilst sitting down on a couch next to her I wrote on her arm that she belonged to me. I led completely in our interaction verbally and non-verbally and after a day3, this total domination of her frame resulted in her calling me master a minute after I had fucked her for the first time and me calling her slave!! She told me she loved the way how I just always led her in everything we did. When I went to Madrid to see her again she paid for everything (apart from my first night’s hotel room which I had booked) and she even took me to the local DVD (not the adult one unfortunately:))store to buy me her favourite DVD. Dominance is lethal!!
One of the most important lessons I learnt from my one-on-ones was the importance of persistence. We were both out in Koko in Camden on a Saturday night. I was feeling like shit, was getting blown out of every set or more correctly was blowing myself out of nearly every set by ejecting too early and after about three hours I was close to going home. Beckster told me to open one more set, he said ‘This is the time you will learn the most.’ A group of two girls walked past us, I got up and said to them as they were passing from one room to another that they didn’t want to go in the other room as it was crap and a few people had thrown up in there and it smelt like shit (Note how much shit you can say in an opener and get away with it if it is done confidently), they didn’t believe me and so I left them. A few minutes later, one came to sit next to me and the other next to Beckster and within two minutes I was pulling one and Beckster was pulling the other!! This seemed too easy. If I could bottle up the feeling I felt after, it was intense!
The 1-on-1s continued, until about March 2008 when I made a conscious decision to resign from my job and concentrate on improving the personal side of my life even more.
Two months ago I went with Beckster on holiday to Berlin and Munich- and I have to say I have never learnt so much in those 10 days as I had ever done before.
The guy is intense, always on the alert for any IOIs coming of any woman at any time. We would be walking down the street and he would be spotting both the IOIs that women were giving me in addition to himself! Although now I look back and can see it was because everyone was checking me out and not him When you spend as much time as that with a person their good habits rub off on you. As an aside, I am a firm believer in improving your inner game and taking the inside to outside approach to pickup whereby you work on your insecurities and negative beliefs and thought patterns primarily whilst starting off. However to learn productive ways in which to think, the journey can be more rapid by spending time with people who have their inner game locked down and copying the things they do well. A lot of people who come into the game are stuck in their heads, myself included, although less so now and I hardly remember having my primary focus on myself whilst interacting and sarging with Beckster during the time in Germany just by interacting with him and even more importantly just having a fun time out there!
If one spends any time with people who are successful in any field, they all seem to share the same core internal characteristics. One can see from Beckster‘s dedication to his teaching and his dedication to understanding the principles behind successful social interactions with women the importance of this quality. When I say I am beginning to understand game, I mean that I am beginning to understand the dedication, persistence, convictions, correct goal setting, and energetics required to be good at this and this is in no small part down to the example set by Rob.
As a caveat, never compare yourself to anyone else, hanging out with someone who has been in the game for 12 years plus can force you to ruminate on your shortcomings and lack of experience in this field. This can show itself in a subtle and very destructive outcome dependency where you either want to match them or beat them at their own game and this certainly did not help me initially. I can still see myself doing this when I am out with other people.
Whilst in Germany I took out a small notebook and pen that I could fit into my back pocket and would write down any lessons learnt, whenever something popped into my head or Beckster commented on an interaction of mine. I wrote down 28 lessons learnt by the end of the trip and that did not include my random scribblings which contained other thoughts that popped into my head relevant to game. A valid point told to me was to write down a mistake made and the lesson learnt and then cross out the mistakes as one succeeded in not making the same pitfall in a following similar setting.
One of the main problems for people learning pickup is that it is easy to tell someone be persistent, don’t be a pussy, keep ploughing on in a set which all mean the same thing to me which is to always be escalating with a girl and keep pushing it. However to really sink into one’s head the message has to be said in a way that resonates with the person either reading or hearing it (cf representational systems in NLP).
Beckster pushed me to open a girl in a park in Berlin and after about 5 minutes of talking to her and getting on really well with her, she said to me do you want to go to the bushes to have a smoke.
Me being the chode that I was and not understanding the underlying message of ‘Let’s go somewhere private, just you and me,’ said no as I didn’t want to trigger my asthma and went back to speak to Beckster and another mate of ours. I think I understood the underlying message; I just did not want to register it and push beyond my comfort boundaries out of insecurity. Telling them what had happened, they started laughing (in a good way) and told me ‘Stop being a pussy!’ ‘Don’t be a fucking pussy! You didn’t have to smoke, you could have just sat with her, escalated and maybe banged her in the bushes!’ This really pissed me off and has since forced me to escalate a lot lot more in my interactions with women. I don’t know if Beckster was aware of it but I’m sure he was, but being told this was exactly what I need to hear and in words that would resonate and have the maximum effect on me. I wrote this as lesson 1 and lesson 9 to 15 in my notebook. This did not happen again in that trip.
Who gives a fuck about escalation, we are all in the same boat (Beckster said to me once remember we are all in the same boat, knowing I’m in the same boat as Beckster has made things a lot more real to me), we all worry about the same things and are just as insecure as each other, hence there should be no problem to put your balls on the line, show your intent to the girl and deal with what happens. Analysing this in terms of risk/reward, the risk is that you will have wasted a few minutes of your time and energy with the girl and the reward is that you get to fuck her or do any of the other naughty things you want to do to her.
I remember being on a dance floor in Germany and even without being aware Beckster would be commenting on how to improve my technique of opening girls on the dance floor. For example, how to bump girls at the right angle when they walked past you and that the subsequent forced IOI should be quick. This meant using your hips to bump them on their hips when they were walking in the opposite direction to you just before they passed you and then making a quick glance, before hiding your eyes behind your hand as if to avert their gaze and then quickly looking back with a cheekie grin. Even during a day game session when I was being pushed, he said to me that I still hesitated sometimes when I opened sets, I needed to kino less in the daytime and fractionate my standing position. Fractionating my standing position meant to keep moving where you stood around the girl to show you were animated and to keep changing her point of focus on you, i.e. moving from a three o’clock position relative to her to an eleven o’clock position, or move the girl around you. Other lessons included realising not to ask anyone for an opener, what you say does not matter too much (only do this once you have proved this to yourself) and this is a form of hesitation, speak slower when abroad and my back of the hand kino was too harsh with too much pressure applied. Also always carry your camera.
Beckster was on form in Germany. On the first night he approached two girls in a club in Berlin who hardly spoke any English, bumped one of them on the hips, forced an IOI, high fived her and twirled her around and to get her friend involved high fived both of them at the same time and twirled them so that he was dancing with both of them him in the middle of a sandwich. After all he said ‘One should always go for the threesome!’
Never underestimate the importance of dance-floor game. I’m not saying one needs to have loads of funky moves but if you can dance with no inhibitions and are enjoying yourself at the same time girls will notice. I don’t recommend doing this in Tiger Tiger or anywhere in London where there is likely to be loads of glass on the dancefloor, but sliding on the floor between two girls dancing as demonstrated by Beckster was a highly effective way to open. The girls loved it and were soon posing for photographs with old twinkle-toes!! I also remember a time when we were walking in Munich looking for something to eat and the German equivalent of Liberty X was playing typical Euro-pop in a massive stage that had been erected on one of the streets that we were passing by. Then in front of the stage Beckster started pulling off all his boy band moves as an example to show me how with little inhibitions and no outcome-dependency you could gain attraction. A small crowd started to gather around and he was forcing of IOIs off of all the girls in the circle around him.
And then came to my turn... I couldn’t do it, I used the excuse in my head that I didn’t have the dance- floor moves to dance in front of everyone on the street. These are the times when one looks back at opportunities missed and wished I had taken them. At the time I consoled myself with the fact that I number closed some girl in under two minutes who was working at the festival behind one of the stalls by forcing IOIs of her, i.e. by sticking my tongue out at her from a distance, looking at her and then quickly looking away to the side and hiding my face with my hand and then looking back with a smile and so on. It was a rush as it was the moment when I fully gained conviction in forcing IOIs at a distance and I frequently do it now when I am out in the field. When those adrenaline highs come along, keep pushing and a few minutes later I was doing my ‘karate-kid’ dance in front of a group of girls who were dining alfresco in a restaurant that we passed. Whenever you do a crazy dance it must never be for the approval of the people who you are dancing for, or at least not telegraph this to them. The girls dining were in hysterics.
Having done several 1-on-1s with Beckster and spent time with the guy, I guess in Germany he definitely proved just how good his skills at game were. We were going to a swanky rooftop bar in Munich, and Beckster opened a two set of models in the queue. No magic opener, just something situational having listened into their conversation. One was a swimsuit model –I don’t get out of bed for less that £5000 a day type of girl!!- he was working his magic on the dance floor after chatting with them and re-opening and isolating her and finding out that she was to be in London for a photo shoot the following week. I remember that she asked him four times to come with her to an after party at another club and ever the smooth seducer, fending her off each time, her face just dropping ever so slightly each time at the fact that someone had the balls to stand up to her and not do everything she wanted. He subsequently closed her in London!
The last night was low energy, spent in the tourist bars of Munich, and just enjoying a few quiet drinks, reminiscing over the all the crazy times that we had had in Germany. We were sat at a bar, and a mother with her daughter were sat next to us on the adjacent bar stools, facing away from us. I opened the daughter who was sat next to me, gently teasing her about some weirdly coloured drink that she and her mother had bought. The conversation was short, and after a minute I turned back to Beckster and carried on my conversation with him. Sometimes he tries to teach you and offer advice for your own benefit but at the time you are thinking ‘What a complete bastard!!’(But then after minutes or even months you understand what he was on about, like Mr Miyagi) After about five minutes he told me to reopen the same set which I thought was pointless as the initial conversation had quickly died out (badly) just to push boundaries, I quickly connected with the daughter on the topic of our travels, and after about an hour of flirtatious kino and random chat, I knew this was going to be an easy kiss close. Rob said later you feed off hooks and that I found a connection; this is natural and very attractive.
I needed to get her away from her mother, so I took her hand, told her that I needed to get some fresh air outside, led her outside, pushed her up against the wall and kissed her! She then went back and told her mum (they both quite easily could have passed for sisters) who by now was trying to pull Beckster. By the way she invited me to New York to see her as she is going to work over there- I may have to take her up on that offer later in the year...

Following my trip to Scandinavia, I went to Madrid to see a girl who I had slept with in London a month before, my only full success so far having started the game in May. I remember being told by Beckster one of my biggest problems was dominance, the first time I met her in a bar in London, I fluff talked with her for a bit as she was a friend of a friend and whilst sitting down on a couch next to her I wrote on her arm that she belonged to me. I led completely in our interaction verbally and non-verbally and after a day3, this total domination of her frame resulted in her calling me master a minute after I had fucked her for the first time and me calling her slave!! She told me she loved the way how I just always led her in everything we did. When I went to Madrid to see her again she paid for everything (apart from my first night’s hotel room which I had booked) and she even took me to the local DVD store to buy me her favourite DVDs. Dominance is lethal!! Thanks for all the tips Beckster!

One of the most important lessons I learnt from my one-on-ones was the importance of persistence. We were both out in Koko in Camden on a Saturday night. I was feeling like shit, was getting blown out of every set or more correctly was blowing myself out of nearly every set by ejecting too early and after about three hours I was close to going home. Beckster told me to open one more set, he said ‘This is the time you will learn the most.’ A group of two girls walked past us, I got up and said to them as they were passing from one room to another that they didn’t want to go in the other room as it was crap and a few people had thrown up in there and it smelt like shit (Note how much shit you can say in an opener and get away with it if it is done confidently), they didn’t believe me and so I left them. A few minutes later, one came to sit next to me and the other next to Beckster and within two minutes I was pulling one and Beckster was pulling the other!! This seemed too easy. If I could bottle up the feeling I felt after, it was intense!

If one spends any time with people who are successful in any field, they all seem to share the same core internal characteristics. One can see from Beckster‘s dedication to his work teaching and his dedication to understanding the principles behind successful social interactions with women the importance of this quality. When I say I am beginning to understand game, I mean that I am beginning to understand the dedication, persistence, convictions, correct goal setting, and energetics required to be good at this and this is in no small part down to example set by my mentor.
