| Open Sets Fearlessly =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THIS WEEK'S WEEKEND WINGMAN Open Sets Fearlessly =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Hey,
In last week's Weekend Wingman you read the story that detailed how I got robbed, but was able to use the social skills I've learned at the Stylelife Academy to land on my feet. The story ended up with me getting on a plane to head to Las Vegas.
Well, as it turns out, the airline messed up a bit, and it took longer than expected to finally get to Vegas - but on a side note, I was able to use my Stylelife skills to grab a first class upgrade worth $750 - which definitely made me feel better. After I handled the series of unexpected issues you read about in last week's Wingman, I was definitely looking forward to getting on with my trip. Once I landed in Vegas, my life took a sharp turn in the direction of fun. As most people know, Las Vegas is a nonstop frenzy of parties and good times. If you haven't been there, I highly recommend it, just for the experience...even if you're not a gambler.
As I walked through the terminal after getting off the plane, I spotted a group of interesting looking girls around my age. They hadn't yet even left the airport, yet they were all laughing and having a good time. It was perfect...they were the exact kind of people I wanted to be hanging out with on this trip. I decided to use the skills I've mastered to meet new people, and MAKE this trip as fun and exciting as possible.
As I approached, I reminded myself, "They too are on vacation, looking to meet people and have a great time".
Sure enough, I opened that set with no problem. We had a great conversation, exchanged contacts, and it turned out we were even staying in the same hotel. This was a beautiful start to a beautiful trip. It was the first of many successful approaches.
There were cool, fun people absolutely everywhere, and whenever I saw them I would think "They too are on vacation, looking to meet people and have a great time", and every set blew open with ease.
I recall one particular interaction outside of the LAX Nightclub at the Luxor hotel where I was having a ton of fun. Granted, it is easy to have a good time when a beautiful blond with a killer smile, long legs, and fishnet stockings is busy laughing at all your jokes. She had a great sense of humor and we were into all the same comedians. Her wit was a fantastic match for mine, so while it was great teasing each other back and forth...I wanted to find out more about her. What was her name? What did she do for a living?
Now remember guys, we had been talking for a while now and had already developed a mutual respect and attraction for each other, so this was the right time to start asking these types of things. Just keep in mind that you don't want to ask these types of questions in the very beginning of an interaction BEFORE she is attracted.
I asked her why she was visiting Vegas, and she told me that she wasn't visiting, she lived there. I remembered the words I spoke to myself before I approached: "She is on vacation, looking to meet people and have a great time". I chuckled silently, I had been wrong. She wasn't on vacation at all.
Then, "it" suddenly clicked.
In Washington DC I told myself everyone was opening so well because they were good people who wanted to help me while I was in distress. Now, in Vegas, I was confidently claiming to myself that each set was opening so well because they were on vacation and wanted to meet new people. I was coming up with specific reasons in each place and time for the sets to be opening...but they were unnecessary justifications. All I really needed was one universal reason:
"I am a cool, fun, interesting guy, who any sensible minded person would love to spend time with."
Since I was making up all these other specific reasons in my head that the groups would be receptive to my approach, I was in some way implying to myself they wouldn't be receptive without them. However, this wasn't true at all. There I was, having a great conversation with a stunning and interesting woman...and it had nothing to do with her being on vacation.
Have you ever thought about approaching and then assumed the woman wouldn't like to talk to you. Why? She should remain innocent of being called unreceptive until proven guilty. This is the secret I referenced earlier:
Assume she DOES want to talk to you...always.
Is this going to work EVERY time in EVERY situation you face? No, the reality is that sometimes the person you approach may not be totally receptive. Maybe something is happening in their lives at the moment that has them in a really bad mood, or perhaps they are just too busy to talk right now. Regardless, this shouldn't change your attitude when opening the next group.
Don't ever decide for them that they don't want to talk to you. This is criminal. Never ask yourself if they will be receptive to your approach. There is no reason for it. Assume them will, and if you are wrong let them be the ones to tell you otherwise, but until they do...it's on.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Last Week's Contest, Updates. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Last week I issued a special challenge to all of you. The challenge was to seek the help of a total stranger by using an honest opener that simply asks for them to assist you. We've already received great entries, which are in the running for the prize of Style's Red-Book, an amazing e-book that breaks down the science behind the skills taught at the Stylelife Academy.
When you are approaching keep in mind the lessons covered this week...
"You are a cool, fun, interesting guy, who any sensible minded person would love to spend time with." Assume EVERYONE is going to be receptive and pleasant until they prove otherwise. Taking any other mentality is only going to work against you.
Also, to help you get the most personal gain out of this contest, here are answers to a few of the common questions we've received over the past week:
Q: What is intention here? Am I supposed to try to escalate on the girl I open, or just get her help?
A: The intention isn't to do anything sexual at all. The mission is exactly what it says it is, you are supposed to get them to help you with a task you could use assistance on. The goal here is not to land a date, but to gain insight on both yourself, and the nature of strangers. There are many great lessons to be taken away from this task.
Q: Do I have to ask a woman for help, what if she is in a group?
A: You do not have to ask a woman for help. It can be any stranger passing by. You could also ask a group of people to help as well. If you feel like opening a group of women is just overwhelming for you right now, don't worry...you'll learn to get comfortable with that as you apply the Stylelife skills we teach. And, if you need a little extra help, remember that you can join the Stylelife Academy, and we'll show you how to systematically abolish your approach anxiety, step-by-step.
Q: Should I make up a lie about needing help with something, or use something that I actually need help with?
A: You should ALWAYS strive to be honest in your interactions. There is no reason to make up a lie, I'm sure we could all use some help with something. For the best possible success keep your opener as genuine as possible. Think of everything you need to get this week that you don't have to do alone. Pick one of these things and work it into your opener, then get out in the field and immediately begin approaching.
That's all there is to it. And when you participate, you benefit immediately because you will be gaining real world social experience. Every time you push yourself past your comfort zone you are going to grow and improve. Regardless if for you this is in the form of a specific outward lesson, or a strictly internal change, I look forward to hearing your personal results.
IT'S TIME TO MEET NEW PEOPLE...
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Become A Master in the Field =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Take a moment to remember the last time you saw a woman that you thought looked like an amazing person to get to know. So many crazy things can happen to our bodies in this situation.
When we want to approach, our feet can feel stuck to the ground. Our stomachs churn and, if we manage to speak, we may even feel dizzy. Then, if we muster up enough courage to approach her and say hi, she may turn our backs on us. When this happens, it can hurt. And the experience can lead to us avoid future scenarios like that in the future.
Fast forward to the end of the night: going home alone can feel frustrating, and sad. And these feelings tend to carry over to other areas of our lives, such as work and family life.
These feelings are all too common, and countless other men have struggled through them, but you don't have to.
The Stylelife Academy has been built, from the ground up, to help you blow past all these negative feelings. It will help you transform yourself, from the inside out, so that you can experience the types of relationships you know deep down that you deserve.
Complete and total control over your dating destiny.
Now, it's normal to ask yourself, "Can the Stylelife Academy really help me master the dating game and the ability to attract the women? Is it really as valuable as you say?"
Here are the results that other Stylelife students have experienced:
Of the first 505 apprentices that were admitted to the academy 3 of them found that special someone and reported marriages, 281 got themselves a girlfriend...plus there were 637 instances of one (or multiple) night stands, and 13 threesomes.
You tell us what your dating goals are, and we'll build a program just for you that you can follow step-by-step, at your own pace.
Nobody is telling you exactly what to do with these skills once you have them...from marriages to one night stands it's all possible...
I'm sure you can agree that there aren't many feelings in the world as good as holding a beautiful woman in your arms, and knowing she is absolutely crazy about you.
You have the potential within you to attract the exact kind of women you have always desired. You just need the most effective learning system and a dedicated team of coaches to show you the way. | |
