Nick's Boot Camp Journal

[Nick]

Week One:

Was there a specific moment in your life when you thought to yourself, “I need to change something”?

Yes. Right now and consistently for the last two years. (I thought the point was to think we are good enough as we are...?)

What is the single most important reason (to you) for learning PUA?

To better and learn more about myself. I feel like it's one of the only interesting things there is.

List three small goals and one big one you’d like to accomplish by the end of the summer.

Pfft. Easy. (Does it have to be PUA related?)

Big:
- Move to AZ

Small:
- Get a Job
- Get a girlfriend
- Get laid

What are your three greatest strengths and your three greatest weaknesses?

Strengths:
- Funny
- Physically Attractive
- Confident

Weaknesses:
- Dependant
- Nervous
- Intimidated

What kind of person are you now and what sort of man would like to be?

I'm scared, nervous, and demotivated. I want to be fearless, aggressive, ambitious, outgoing, and daring. I want to just have fun and know myself better.

Done already? Pssh

The point is to KNOW that you are. Be fully confident in your abilities. 100% congruent. But you'll get there :-)

Already checked one off my list of goals for the summer... This boot camp really works

Lol. I am serious, though... and this is how I'm announcing it

I am no longer a virgin.

*applause* +1 if you post an FR for it

I think you get +5 for that from me.

[OHM]

and obviously if you make a field report and it's awesome you get +10 or whatever.

I might make an FR. It's really not that exciting, though. It was with a girl I've had a close relationship with and she basically just helped me through it. (It wasn't even that good either... but it definitely could've gone way worse. Nothing bad happened at least.)

Maybe later but I can't imagine what anyone would learn from it.

Week Two:

Approach One - Magazine Girls

Two girls (one is wearing a skirt...) were looking at a magazine rack. I decide to walk up and ask "You girls read a lot of magazines?" - dumbest question ever. They were like "uhh...umm... maybe... kinda.... why?". I just cut 'em off and went straight to the point.

"Okay, the real reason I came over here... Not a lot of girls wear skirts right?"... "Yeah... "... "Well you look really good."..."Thank you! "

I basically just walked away after that - some nice to meet you bullshit - no close. Just for funsies.

Approach Two - Are Shoes Important?

This college girl was looking around the shoe section of Kohl's and I approached her. "Excuse me... I just need your opinion. A female opinion... Are shoes important?".

Contrary to what you guys say... she said they weren't. She never looks at shoes. Instead of leaving at that, I decided to go a little further than last time and ask if she was from around here, I've never seen her before. She said she was from a town bout 20 miles away. She attended High School @ the public high school there and now attends Missouri Valley and is studying to be a teacher for 1st graders or something. Don't remember how it ended but the fact that she was older than me threw me off.

Approach Three - American Eagle

I was standing by the cologne at AE when an employee walked by. I asked her which one was her favorite. Got into a little conversation. Pretty boring. Not really planned before I did it. Just kinda bored and waiting for my friend.

Approach Four - "Will you watch this movie with me tonight?"

You can read the lead-up to this in my journal but I'll cut to the chase.

I grabbed a movie out of the movie bin at Wal-Mart. It just so happened to be The Patriot with Mel Gibson. I walked up to this girl who is walking in the middle of like 5 girls and a guy and ask, "Will you watch this movie with me tonight?". Luckily, I got off easy and she new I was fucking around.

She says "Sure... Isn't that the guy that was yelling? (Mel Gibson on the cover)" and I said, "Yeah, but it's okay, this movie is like 10 years old. This is way before he was a bad person."

"SO THAT MAKES IT OKAY?" she raises her voice at me. "Well you're yelling at me. You're a bad person." She didn't have a reply so she asked for my name.

"Brad Pitt." She calls me on it and I say, "I'm Nick" and ask for her name. She says Ciera. The group around her (eavesdropping) all gasp, So I know she's lying. She says her name is Cara. I tell her that's the dumbest name I've ever heard with a smirk on my face.

"I don't think I want to watch this movie with you anymore", she says to me. I don't remember after that but she randomly goes in for a hug and then gets dragged away by one of the guys in the group. Pretty damn funny. The two coaches come up to me, shake my hand, and say thanks and that they didn't think I would go through with it. Good-byes are said and I just walk away.

Probably will be my best approach

Approach Five - TBH

My new goal is (for my own advancement) to make sure I know eye color. Eye Contact is good and I haven't been making much. I'm gonna try to be a little more absurd from now on. Just testing the waters

If I run out of ideas:

- Is Wearing Make Up Gay?
- Should I get a Tattoo?
- "You look like a dancer."
- Monster Truck Opener
- Random Proposal (REQUIRED)
- Thumb Wrestling Opener

These may not be that absurd... but if I don't get over my AA, I'LL DO IT AGAIN.

Already got a wingman set up for TOMORROW. Let's get this show on the road

[Nick]

I'm gonna finish these this week... and the next 5 I'm supposed to do.

But I'm not going to be able to post them for a week so please don't delete it
