PX2 is closed

The application process of PX2 has closed

 

Anyone who applied will be considered for the 2nd level of selection, which I have emailed all of you back for (unless you JUST applied last night)

 

I am finalizing the last spot now, and creating a hold list in case any of the 6 are unable to attend (it’s not going to be more than 6, I am not going to magically be able to accept more people. Any time you see that, it is a slimey marketing trick)

 

Thank you to everyone who emailed me about this and your continued support. I wouldn’t be able to do cool shit like this, if it wasn’t for you guys!

How to apply for PROJECT X

Project X…

 

 

has evolved AGAIN

 

I posted last weeks update while on my motorcycle trip because so many guys have been asking when the next one is…well it is coming

 

VERY SOON!

 

So AGAIN to the guys who emailed me, private messaged me on my forum, Facebook’ed me, asked about it on coaching calls, etc.. I got the message.

 

HOW TO APPLY

But before I tell you how-to, here is some more information about what Project X will entail-

  • WHERE- in the Phoenix/Tempe/Scottsdale AZ area
  • WHEN-  (finalizing where/when currently but shooting for 30-90days from now)
  • Not having it in a boring and non-personal conference room
  • Booking a suite and adjoining room that will be ours for training/partying/and some sleeping (no need to waste $ on a hotel room)
  • Once you arrive in Phoenix, the hotel has a shuttle to and from the airport for FREE
  • All other transportation is taken care of (no need to rent a car)
  • Lunch and dinner will be on me ( good shit, sushi, steaks, etc)
  • ADDED Online Game -bring your laptop if you have one
  • ADDED PUA Magic-my most powerful and closely guarded secrets
  • ADDED  ALPHA MALE GUN RANGE TRAINING
  • ADDED FASHION MAKEOVERS
  • Follow up conference calls afterwards, to make sure everyone is still kicking ass
  • ONLY 6 students (I am making room for 2 more spots, and having more coaches)
  • STILL LESS than what other NO-NAMER PUAs charge, and they don’t teach/train for as many hours, and YOU have to cover hotel and food!!!
  • and more….

 

HOW TO APPLY TO PROJECT X-

  1. Email me (address below)
  2. Make the subject of the email “I want into PROJECT X
  3. The email MUST contain the following information (I don’t need PAGES, just a few paragraphs max)
  • Name (real name and PUA name)
  • Age (must be at least 21 years old)
  • Cell phone number
  • Number of sexual partners (only FULL closes count)
  • Previous PUA/self help training and how long you have been into THE GAME
  • Why you want to attend
  • What you hope to gain from attending
  • Your biggest sticking points
  • A recent picture
  • How you heard about PROJECT X

Since we will be LIVING together the whole time, I have to make sure only the best and most deserving get in. (unlike the other guys, MY decisions aren’t controlled by the $)

I will then go thru each email ASAP and pick the guys I think will get the most out of this and tell you how to sign up, you then will have 24 hours to do so, if I don’t hear back then I will move on to another applicant and give them the once in a lifetime opportunity to attend.

Lastly, I use PayPal, so if you currently do NOT have an account all set up with them and working, do so NOW (it can take a few days to set up and sync with your bank/credit account, and don’t want that to cause you to miss out).

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR

 

PROJECT X IS OUT THERE!

 

Project X returns

This blog post is going to be short and sweet. I am in San Diego on Day 8 of my motorcycle trip thru Az and Cali.

Project X is returning!

When I did the 1st one I wasn’t even sure if it would work…well it did…better than I could have ever dreamed.

One of the reasons I moved back to Az was the ASU chicks…there are more of them and they are hotter than anywhere else I have been.

They biggest issue with sarging in Az is the heat….it’s brutal…

BUT

fall is coming, which means it is cooling off

I have taken what I learned, the feedback from those who attended the last one, and working on taking this one to the next level.

I also decided, instead of just inviting 4 students, I will up it by 2, so there will ONLY be 6 spots.

Like last year you will have to apply, and I will hand pick the lucky few.

I’ll be locking down dates when I get back, so to stay in the loop, make sure to keep checking back and sign up for my email list on the right of the page.

You do NOT want to miss out

Worst DHV ever

DHV stands for Demonstration of Higher Value

 

A DHV is more than just a magic trick or a routine, while those can be DHVs (if done smoothly at the right time) many guys forget about the DHVs that are working for you every second, before you are even around a girl. eg. body posture, vocal projection, vocal tonality, body language, eye contact, fashion, hair, your teeth…(only listed a few that can be worked on pretty easily) If you don’t have those taken care of, then you are DLVing (Demonstrating Lower Value).

For some reason guys don’t want to work on those, they want to learn how to make a watch stop or how to CUBE a chick first…and IMO that is bad.

 

These last two weeks I have been discussing DHVs for hours and hours with students on my coaching calls. Many guys have an idea of what a DHV is, but are trying to force them WAY to hard to make it work effectively.  The other big issue is that while it might be a great DHV, but not for the reasons you think, so all of the high points they are trying to hit are way off the mark and it ends up almost doing more harm than good…

 

So what I thought would be cool to try for this post, in the comments below write out a few DHVs and give an example of how you use them or incorporate them into your PUA toolbox.

 

Next blog post I will give an example of how I DHV and how it does several awesome things all at the same time. (might have to make it a audio/video to convey what I need) and also give some feedback on the ones you guys list. I will also be actively commenting back giving more feedback and tips (unlike almost every other PUA who for some reason hate writing and posting on their OWN site??? WTF)

 

But I wanted to share this….I get asked some crazy fucking stuff….and as long as you guys are trying to improve I am always happy to help as much as I can.

 

Proof= my FREE Flashchats on my forum where you can ask some of the solid guys on my site for help for FREE

 

Well this actually came up in an OLD flashchat and I saved it, because it might be the WORST DHV I have ever heard!

 

 

[Mxxxxxxx] 5:38 pm: You’ve read the Da Vinci Code, right? I grew up in an Opus Dei environment and received the most warped sex education. I thought children were created through a “special embrace”. I had no idea what this “special embrace” was, but I was told that you can also get AIDS from it. I sadly resigned to the fact that I will marry someone special for who she is even if I don’t ever have sex with her because I didn’t want to get

AIDS…

[Mxxxxxxx] 5:39 pm: Anyway it’s Filipino custom to greet relatives and close friends with a kiss on the cheek LIKE THIS (demonstrate kiss on cheek) and I had this Uncle who always held my head like THIS and gave me a big beardy wet kiss RIGHT on the LIPS. It was like in slow motion everytime he’d go in for the kiss as I winced in helplessness. I panicked that I might be getting AIDS from my uncle. No tongue, just so you know.

[Mxxxxxxx] 5:39 pm: Anyway, my eyes were eventually opened and to this day I am AIDS-free, but that does not mean I still let my uncle plant a wet one on me.

[Bravo] 5:39 pm: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

 

So that is a pretty good example of how trying to convey to a chick that you are healthy and STD free (while a good thing) and trying to kino, if done poorly can do hurt more than help.

 

It also goes against one of my rules about bringing up AIDS within a few minutes after meeting someone (rape also falls into that category)

 

But better to find this out on an anonymous FREE forum where guys are here to help you…than to crash and burn with a hottie

 

:D

 

OK comment below and lets try and make your DHVs kick ass!

Is this seat taken OPENER

Earlier this year I took the guys during PROJECT X to the same bar this was first used….and am looking at picking dates for the next one…but I digress.

The IS THIS SEAT TAKEN opener is of my all time favorites. It came to me in field while I was coaching some guys (at the time I was taking guys out for free to polish up my teaching skills hoping it would help me one day become a PUA coach). The guys were all freezing up, that dirty bitch known as AA was getting the best of them, so I decided to open and show them how easy it can be…

Everyone who actually has met me KNOWS I have a very confident and direct style of game. I use a few canned routines if they fall into my lap or if I sense that it is the PERFECT time for something, but I usually just go with the flow.

Canned routines are great for learning structure, or if you draw a blank, or….in times like these!

This opener is NOT an opener you can use all the time, actually it is what I call a CANNED SITUATIONAL OPENER, meaning you can always have it ready but it only works in the right setting/situation. It also works VERY well in the quieter environments that I actually prefer.

 

SO back to the set-

 

I turned around and saw three girls sitting behind us and went in. As I approached I noticed there were six glasses on the table, each girl had finished one drink and were close to finishing their second and each of the three chairs they were in had a purse hanging from it, this told me they had been there for little while and it was a safe bet it was just the three of them. I stood in front of a fourth empty chair with my arms on the back of it and leaned in, they all looked up at me wondering what I wanted, (my body language was off and I came in too aggressive) so I leaned back and started to pull the empty chair away. I had slid the chair back a few inches then asked

 

 

“Is this seat taken?”

 

I saw their tension go away when they all thought I wanted to take the chair and bring it to my table, they all responded.

“It’s empty, take it, it’s all yours”

I said “cool, thanks!”

Then pulled the chair the rest of the way out, sat down, and pulled myself up to the table and said

“So what were we all talking about?”  With a huge smile!

They all began to laugh and one even said, “wow that was smooth” which I replied with “I know!” ;) .

They then picked up their story right where they had left off and I joined in.

 

Since that night I have used it more times than I can count, only once did I get a not so positive reaction. I just plowed and when I knew the set was wrecked I told them I was kidding and pulled the chair to our table, which we really did need.

You will get responses that the seat is taken or they are holding it for somebody. I usually say, “Cool I will keep it warm for them” and sit then work FAST!

tip: the Facebook Stalker routine works great if you need to lead the conversation after you sit

 

I have been teaching this opener for a while and the two things I get asked the most as follow ups are-

 

“How did you notice all that stuff when you first approached them (the 3 purses, the 6 drinks etc..)”

I just did, I didn’t even think about it till I was asked this question, it was only then did I start trying to figure out how was I able to pick up little things like that so fast. I realized that it was because of ALL the training I had done before hand. Not just pick up and infield, but all of my firearms, tactical, and martial arts training. If you need to learn how to do that, do what I did, or take up any hobby/activity that forces you to work on processing information quickly and is alive.

 

“Why don’t you just sit down and start talking?”

When I was still lived in Hollywood and was working for Neil I was at his house (giving him some gun tips before he finished writing Emergency, showing him my tricked out 870) We had been talking about new routines and I brought this up, Neil was digging it so much that when Mystery and Matador showed up a few minutes later, he had me share it with them.

Mystery then shared HIS seated set/empty seat opener- going and just sitting down in the chair and saying “sorry I am late”

I like that, and have tried it, but I think mine is better, and here is why-

1.It has pattern interrupts in it (you lean in over the chair= they think you want to talk to them, you then pull away the chair and act like you are taking to your table= they think you are leaving and we ALL have dealt with this before)

2.It has an “out”. If things go bad, just act like you really wanted to take the chair.

3.I know TONS of guys who have done the just sitting down routine, this one is different than what everyone else does…

4. Both show confidence, but this one also shows a little more playfulness and a sense of humor.

 

Very simple to learn, very easy to use, and something you can have in your back pocket when you need it.

 

Go forth and try it, and let me know what you think.
