theApproach Bootcamp: New York City

"Brian K."


My thoughts are everywhere, I just wrote things down as they come so it's not the best organized, but it tells you a lot about it. I can't figure out how to put a lot of what I learned into words, it's like I learn through osmosis.

Day 1

I came into this bootcamp very open minded and did everything I could to learn as much as possible with these guys. I was very lucky with the RSI bootcamp, I got to work with both Woodhaven and Dimitri. I was only expecting one instructor. They are great teachers and helped me fix a lot of problems.

Vincent looks and sounds like he's a complete playboy. He is dressed very nicely, clean shaven, nice haircut with gel in it. His voice sounds as if he's getting a blowjob and the girls love it. Dimitri on the other hand will destroy someones limiting beliefs. He has long hair, and didn't shave in a while. He hasn't bought new clothes in a while, but they were nice when they were new. His jeans were old, and worn out, but to him they were so comfortable.

We first met up and we talked. We went over what I wanted, and they assured me that I will get there, if I want to. They immediately fixed my body language, and kept fixing it whenever I would mess up throughout the day. They made me feel like I owned the place. I'm the King of New York. They are really great at compliments, especially Dimitri. These compliments are really genuine and sincere and can really boost someones confidence. One of the first things that happened upon meeting them was I said something negative about myself, Dimitri immediately corrected that and told me he didn't want to hear it. I liked that, and need to correct this negative mindset. After day 1 my body language was much better. It's not perfect, but it's certainly a huge improvement.

They than helped me with some fashion. Woodhaven helped me pick out a pair of pants and a few shirts. I think it helped me look much better, a girl who works there gave her opinion and said "sexy". Woodhaven # closed her (She's black so it was pretty shocking, normally he likes a variety of Asians). Even though it helped me look much better, they reminded me that the clothes don't make me, without the clothes I'm still the same person. They reminded me I have everything I need to succeed; it's not the clothes or the money, or anything other material possession. It may help but it doesn't make me. After that, we walked around the mall a few times, and I tried to mimic their body language.

We sat down again and talked some more. They helped me with conversation skills, and basic game. It's easier to lead a conversation than I imagined. You can just ask a basic question and keep going deeper into it. Ask a question that's even considered afc, as long as it's done right. Don't just stack questions like an interview either. You want to listen to her answers and keep going deeper into it. We talked about the questions that are screening and story telling. What's involved in both. How a question that involves screening is different than a regular question. Example: asking are you athletic? would be a screening question because it makes the girl want to answer a certain way. With story telling there should be a point to the story. You also want to start on a high note and end on the highest note. Get to the story quick, get rid of the useless parts. You should also be using new stories as your life changes. Everyones lives are interesting, you shouldn't be relying on the same story 10 years from now. Talk about whats interesting to you, don't talk about things just because you think she would be interested. Screen her to see if she likes what you like. We talked about phone game a little as well. Introduce yourself and open with a story, get her to remember you by your personality. Although I said it is easy, it's still one of my sticking points.

After that, they pointed to a girl for me to open. To get me relaxed, Dimitri had me grab my balls and shake them. First off it can get me relaxed, but more importantly it shows that you can. I can do whatever I want, as long as I think it is okay. She was sitting down, I pointed to the seat across from her, and opened with "Hey, is this seat taken?" We talked a bit, and I # closed her. My verbal game wasn't great, but my body language was.

We than proceeded to dinner and we talked more. Dimitri was flirting with the cashier and she loved it. They helped me with some limiting beliefs that I have. They asked me why I had them, and logically they made no sense. I knew that, but just couldn't figure out why I had the belief. They made me realize what it was, and helped me get over it. We went over some of my goals, and what I want. They told me it can happen. I can become good enough for it to happen. Before we leave, Dimitri than messes with someone whose working there. He told her come here, she did, and grabbed her hat. She laughed, and seemed to enjoy it. I would have originally thought that was taking it too far, but someone like him can actually do it.

We than went out and they told me to open this two set. The girl said she had a boyfriend; he comes right over and gives me a pound. It was cool, he respected what I did. What I did wrong was where I placed myself. I just had bad logistics. I stood on the street, while they were on the curb. They looked down on me. It was okay though, I'm still a cool dude. Still doing it is wrong when you are 5'4". So next time I open them, I stay on the sidewalk as well.

When my next set didn't open, I tried to go back with an opinion opener. I don't need to even go for an opinion opener. I can say what I want, I'm cool enough where all I need to do is show them who I am.

We open more sets who are walking towards us, and one problem I have is I'm too invasive. I scare them when I approach, I'm inside their territory. I'm working on it, and must stop them from when their walking earlier. Don't stop them when you're about 1 foot away. It's creepy, Dimitri showed me and even when he did it to me, it was weird, and I knew him. Open with whatever you feel like, and say what you like about them. As you do it more, your brain gets more spontaneous, and ready for random situations.

Day 2

Day 2 was very long, tiring, fun and VERY educational. I learned a lot.

The original schedule had day two set up to start at like 10am, but Woodhaven and Dimitri let me change it to 5PM since we went to overtime on Friday. Starting later didn't reduce my time, it was just to make things more convenient for me. In fact we ended up going even longer in the night till we were all beat. I started the day by going to the RSI mini seminar right before it was done. Everyone was impressed by my body language, still not perfect, but it has improved. Some people thought I was like a third instructor. My overall game was noticeably better. It's a cycle, you fix your body language, girls respond better, you start doing better when they respond better. The cycle keeps continuing.

After they did their demo it turned into the regular bootcamp for me. Dimitri was working with me that day and Woodhaven went to do some pickup on his own. Within 30 minutes Woodhaven picked up a Latina girl and she paid for a cab fare back to her hotel room. You could tell it was on instantly. She was in NY looking to have a good time. Other people tried to get with her, but they aren't the same way. They would yell from far away or yell while riding a bike, trying to preserve their ego.

So after that the day was mostly spent with Dimitri. Dimitri gave me feedback after every approach that I made, and question me and ask what I did right and wrong. He did that so I am able to start identifying my game and knowing what I did right and wrong. I was sometimes scaring these girls with my opener, and he showed me exactly why. I know I still scare them sometimes, but it will get taken care of with experience. I can see why, but some of the things I do are so engrained it's hard to change some of them. It's cool though, at least this way I can engrain the good things as well. I am trying to make smoother movements. With each one, I was trying to use what they were telling me and make improvements to my game from it. I was opening better, but was a bit confused about what to do after that. I was actually quite a bit surprised when some of them opened so that is why. From now on every set must open. These girls are very lucky to be able to just talk to me. I make their lives better.

During the day at H&M, I sarged this one girl who ended up giving me a fake number. She did say she had a boyfriend earlier. There was a certain point where she lost her interest. A good one was I #closed this girl while she was with her friends, right before he bf showed up. I also # closed one who was by herself while waiting for her bf. Than I # closed this really tall pretty chick that was fun. She literally towers over me. At the bar I talked to this one girl who was leaning into me, according to Dimitri I could have kissed her. I didn't realize that at night you go as far as you can as fast as you can, for some reason I figured you have to talk and get to know her better, but a lot of girls are there for the same thing you are.

At night it Dimitri and I went out to a few bars, that was fun. We went from places to place, talking to people, we were looking for one in particular, but couldn't find it. We still had fun, I opened a lot of street sets and got better. By the end of the night, they were opening, but I never actually responded. Some of the things that I said, I was surprised that they opened. I did a couple number closes, but I could have probably done more than just that.

Another fun one was when I approached a mixed set, and I told the two girls they look very nice. One guy told me I look very nice also, I just said thanks. I left the set and they threw me back in. They told me to cross my arms and just look at one of them, and say "You'll do." I did that she cursed at me and threatened me with her umbrella, but I didn't realize she was just joking so they sent me back in again. I told her I was just joking and if I knew she had such a dangerous weapon I wouldn't have gotten her angry. It was cool. Than I left and blew her a kiss. The guy got angry, I thought it was funny.

I opened two girls that were okay looking. We talked for a bit and than I left. I opened them later, while one girl was on her cellphone and told them we found a cool place where the drinks are nice, and cheap. They were in a huge set and told me they can't leave. Her friend the UG just got angry and kept telling me I was rude. I ignored her. Their other friend looked very nice though and was wearing a cowboy hat. Dimitri told her to take the hat. I told her the hat looked very nice and slowly took it and put it on. She was like it's not hers. She took it back while laughing, while the UG was so angry, it was hilarious.

Day 3

Day three was wrapping up. It was shorter than the other days, but it was just as good. You could see how much my game has improved. I still have the problem of being on or off. Like the response I get will either be really good or not so hot, but as I get better that will keep improving. They went into things like LTR management, sex, the full structure of a PU. We went over screening questions, pacing and leading, qualifying. With each approach I do they keep asking me what went right what went wrong. The reason they do that is so that they can help me identify my own problems in field. They can easily identify the problems I had, but when I'm out by myself, it will be a bit different. There will be problems and it may take me a few tries before I recognize it, but that's okay because I will. If I can't I can just tell them the problem and they will help me identify it. They also told me to be more powerful, I own the city. I must also be more congruent with whatever I am feeling.

A few sets that I remember: Another one was when I did a direct to a two set in the mall. I was only interested in one of the friends. The conversation went something like this. “I thought you guys looked cool. My names (will not be told online). I opened her, and it was on. Her friend, the UG told me, hold up a second and just ignored me, but the girl I was interested in told me it's because she's not from this country she has no manners. We talked for a bit, I did a whole bunch of high fives which I now eliminated because they serve no purpose but looks lame. I always thought they did, but than somehow I thought they were cool, because it was on ASF for so long.

This was at the food court in the mall. There was a group of friends who were standing on line so Woodhaven had me open social. I had some anxiety, after so much direct I was like "hmm, what do I say?" He told me anything so I just opened with "What's good to eat?" Just saying that alone started a good conversation. I later reopened the girl I liked with "You seem really cool, you have a good sense of style, designing your clothes. Why don't you show me around?" I # closed her and that was that. I saw them later, and the girl gave me a big smile. I smiled back, and a couple of friends who didn't see me before were just looking at her and me like WTF is going on.

My very favorite was this one girl who was dressed in crazy clothes. I opened up with "I like your style." I was in. She told me she was waiting for someone. She was touching herself like crazy. I should have told her to sit, but didn't. I told her that I had to go but we should get together for some coffee. She said definitely. As she was writing down her number, someone comes over. She is like, "This is my boyfriend, (forgot his name)." I'm like Hey, whats up. She finishes writing her number and I leave. That was great. Still it surprised the hell out of me, # closing in front of her boyfriend.

I open this very good looking girl in the street, she has very nice curves. Dimitri told me to tell her, "You have really nice curves." I stopped her beautifully, she even took off her headphones. Than what happens? I kind of felt like I was going to get blown out saying it and I might have said it like a fool. I sounded like I was just clowning her in front of my friends, she didn't realize I was serious, and she responded by "fuck you". Dimitri and Woodhaven explained that if I go very sexual like that I need to be congruent with it.

Conclusion I was literally trusting these guys with my life, and I could not be happier. I came to the bootcamp with a completely open mind. It was great and I learned so much. If I did not do this I may or may not have gotten to the level of where I want to be, but if I ever did get there, it will save me years of my time. I don't think there is many things as valuable as this. Doing this my social skills have permanently increased a good amount, but the best thing for me to do would be to keep practicing in field. If I don't practice, I won't improve. If this is something that you're interested in fixing in your life, than please go ahead and do it. They will help you to get wherever you want to be, but it can't be done without commitment of your own. If you aren't committed, they can't use magic to do it. These guys don't teach any gimmicks or routines, they teach you to be who you really are. They drop the stories, and openers, you develop your brain by becoming more spontaneous. You say what you like about the girls, and it will work. I think everyone has some interesting things happen in their life, but most people can't figure out how to express it.
