Hey guys,
I wanted to let you know there’s going to be a big event taking place next Tuesday that you shouldn’t miss. Braddock and Savoy will be holding a very rare and very free conference call where they will be answering YOUR questions when it comes to one of the most cr itical parts of life, social circles.
Check here on how to get involved:

Hey folks,
Today, I’d like to shed light on the topic of alcohol and pickup. Especially when concerning night game, alcohol is a huge component of going out. Clubs and bars generate a lot of their revenue whether it be off of the bar, exorbitantly ridiculously priced bottle service (to be talked about more at a later date), and what have you. However, drinking hasn’t been addressed all too much when it so concerns and is so critical to that of game.
Personally, when I first started frequenting nightclubs and bars with the intent to game I did not have a single drop of alcohol for several months during this beginning period. In hindsight, I really am glad for my decision and would recommend the same to everyone out there in a similar position. Alcohol’s main positive is that it loosens your inhibitions, most prominently that of lowering approach anxiety. However, it does so under a guise. It’s tricking you into thinking that you’re tearing down your walls of AA when in reality it’s but a facade that’s built in front of the walls to make you believe otherwise. There are countless ways to tackle approach anxiety out there and especially if you attend a bootcamp your AA will be shattered to pieces.
After awhile of practicing and stepping my game up notch after notch, I started introducing alcohol into the equation. This was mostly due to the fact that I was simply having fun when going out which should be everyone’s intent and part of that fun involved drinking. I would say that in some respects alcohol helped get over certain humps. Going for make-outs in the club quickly, getting into state faster, etc. But, I began using alcohol too much to the extent that I would be lazy and initiate any make out with the LA (can use any city name here) shot routine. Eventually this just caused things to get sloppy by the time 1am or 2am rolled around.
Looking back on the past couple months, I see more times where booze hampered my game than helped. After this past New Year’s when I walked back to my place from the club with blood pouring from my head, nose and mouth because of a slip onto concrete, I decided to abstain from drinking completely. One of my good friends/wings has decided to take a month off himself without even previously knowing I had decided to stop as well so the moon, planets, whatever else are aligning for this to take place. I am really excited to see what hell I can raise while stone cold sober and cannot wait to share the results good and bad. Looking forward to the times that lay ahead….
For those of you who follow me on twitter at LS_Phero; you’ll know that I just came out of sitting in on the latest IVS recording, Volume 54. I am pleased to announce for the first time anywhere, the official topic and list of instructors who were a part of this upcoming month’s Interview Series release!
IVS, Volume 54: Avoiding Dancing Monkey Syndrome with Bonsai and Dubbsy
The instructors both did a phenomenal job on a subject that I know I used to have issues with myself. It was great hearing all of the information they had to share and I picked up a lot of helpful knowledge. Now it’s time to finish creating the write up that will accompany it on the website when it becomes available to the public. Be sure to subscribe to the Interview Series to get new audio delivered automatically to you on the first of the month, each and every month!
1-on-1s are generally best suited for students who have taken a bootcamp and are looking to tackle various sticking points they have. Helping out with 1-on-1s is always a pleasurable experience. So, I was truly glad when Bonsai asked me to help out with a multiple night 1-on-1 of his. The student wanted to focus primarily on night game, and strippers. Can there be any better combination? Maybe only pumpkin pancakes could even come close… (yes you can find this deliciousness at a new favorite breakfast spot of mine in LA).
I met up with Bonsai as the seminar portion for the student was wrapping up and the student was highly eager for the infield to get started! Driving to the venue, Bonsai had him open a hot blonde in the car next to us. The line Bonsai gave him to use got a fantastic response from the girl and this put the student in a great state to start off the night.
We had the student opening set after set working on the specifics that he had requested for the 1-on-1. Then brought girls to him all night since opening wasn’t a main problem or focus for him. The student made a lot of progress at the club and as they turned on the lights and were kicking everyone out we continued with the 1-on-1. The next location? Strip club!
A real joy of mine that I didn’t think at first would be much fun is stripper game. You could tell at the strip club that the student was really learning a lot from watching Bonsai and myself demonstrate how to effectively pick up the strippers as both myself and Bonsai got numbers right in front of him. Not spending money at a strip club besides the cover and alcohol is a virtue I hope to pass onto the masses. By all means, I support the stripper cause but I rather fuck them than pay their rent.
The second night we continued on with the 1-on-1 and the student got a very solid number at the club from a really hot nurse who ended up buying drinks for all of us as well. Afterwards, we had more stripper time and on the third night Bonsai and the student focused exclusively on stripper game. Stripper game would be a worthwhile venture that I would recommend for everyone to try at least once, especially in Vegas (Superconference!…).
Check out the student’s review on The Attraction Forums.
I arrived at the infield of night two early. Inside there was no one except for one student and I was happy to see he was chatting up the girl bartender. As the club filled in more and more, I could tell that it was going to be a good night. I don’t know what it is about the city of Vancouver but I love the weather, scenery and especially the girls.
The club was getting packed and students were in set, the night was drawing nearer to midnight. I see a girl standing at the bar on the other side of the room looking in my direction. She walks past me and I stop her. After going direct, I transition and feel I have enough attraction that I move her to the other side of the bar. At this point, I wanted to make sure that the students were all doing well in their sets so I walk her around with me.
At this point, everything is going well and then the first roadblock enters the picture. Her equally hot friend comes over and interrupts us. I make conversation with the both of them but realize that it’s not going anywhere with her friend there. I see a student across the room so I go over and pull him into the set. As he occupies the friend, I move my girl to the outside area. I escalate with her to the point of the kiss and then go for it. It takes two or three tries but we make out there. Then, the theme of the night persists and another of her friends comes over. I seriously don’t know where she found this one because this girl looked like she weighed about a buck ninety in the body of a 5foot tall person, 4 inches of which were high heels clinging on for dear life, and seemed like she was balding to top it off. How some hot girls have the Freddy Kruegerest of friends is a riddle I’m still trying to solve…
The friend was very persistent in her attempt to cockblock though. I sort of felt at this point that I had built enough attraction, qualification and comfort with this girl that one friend wouldn’t stop the momentum. As we went back inside, two more of her friends joined the cockblock party and literally pulled her towards the exit. At this point, I’m cursing the logistics gods to hell. So, I see Cajun and ask his advice on the situation. He says very simply, “Go after her.” With that in mind, I walk down the stairs and lo and behold see her standing next to the exit by herself. She tells me that her friends are waiting for her outside so what do I do?
I say, “Great, let’s go over here for a second.” I pull her to the bar, we get drinks and we make out some more. Now, I take her outside the club using a great line that Tenmagnet had told us earlier in the day for pulling girls out of a venue. I grab a taxi and head back to my hotel. We get to my room and ever since this day in Vancouver I now have a girl there pleading me to come back and visit, in the meanwhile she’s flying out to LA to see me next month. From a guy who before October of last year hadn’t ever done a cold approach in his life to someone who is pulling girls to his hotel room: that is the power of Love Systems.
Cajun and Tenmagnet are two lead instructors at Love Systems and are a blast to hang out with. Cajun, best known for being a main contributor to the new Beyond Words DVD Set and also winning Keys to the VIP, is a person whom you are able to learn from just by solely being around him. Tenmagnet is a very lively person and has been around pickup for such a great length of time he has surely seen most every situation and seems like he’s seen most every person on the planet too. He’s also responsible for training some of Love Systems’ top instructors. So, the reference experiences he has to draw on when he teaches are vast and far reaching. They both have a lot of information to convey to their students and it is apparent how much of a positive impact that fountain of knowledge can be when teaching.
The seminar started off with my coming in on a morning flight to the bootcamp, having not slept the night before because the girl who was driving me to the airport had other things in mind to do that night besides sleep. Meeting all of the students was a genuine thrill as they were very thrilled for the weekend that lay ahead. Everyone comes in with different goals they have in mind, some may want a girlfriend, some may want to get over crippling approach anxiety, some may want to consistently be picking up 9s and 10s and the great thing about Love Systems is no matter what the goal may be the instructors do a great job at addressing those specific sticking points on a very personal level with their students during the seminar portion and especially during the live training.
I’ve not been to Vancouver prior to this trip, although I had visited Toronto a few times before. British Columbia I came to find is an absolutely beautiful place. Vancouver quickly came to be one of my favorite places I’ve visited as the city reminds me of a mix between San Francisco, Santa Monica and London with the added fact that it is kept very clean, both in how the streets are maintained and the quality of air. The girls here I found to be especially attractive too.
The night started out in a unique fashion as we had a few wingwomen helping us out. Although this is not necesary by all means I can’t say enough how powerful it is to other women in a venue when you’re seen talking with female friends. I would highly recommend getting girls into your lives who you aren’t fucking that are purely just friends. If you don’t have any right now then when you go out it’s a great idea to chat up girls without the intention of getting in their pants because it can build strong social proof. The students opened a lot of sets and got some great feedback from the instructors. By the end of the night it was almost as if you were talking with different students they had changed that much. It always is highly rewarding to see someone make a radical transformation for the better. The next night the students were doing great on their own and so it was time for Phero to have a little fun. Find out how I pulled a girl from the club back to my hotel and fucked the shit out of her in my next update.
Day 3 of the seminar kicked off with everyone feeling really good from the night before. Future delved into what he is supremely known for, that being comfort. I’ve listened to Future’s seminar probably 5 times up to this point and I always learn something new. He really has a knack for relating to people and seeing things about you that most people just cannot see. Future covered several other topics and capped off the program with some very inspiring closing remarks that I’m sure all the students relished in taking with them now that the bootcamp was officially completed.
Future decided to go out with the students on Sunday since he was in Miami for one more night. We all went to Nikki Beach which is infamous for being one of the best clubs anywhere on Sundays. The club has an outdoors area and connects right onto Miami beach, this is important to know for later. It was my first time at this venue and after hearing what happened to Future I will never forget what transpired.
As we were resting up and chilling I ended up seeing three girls we were talking to the night before (these were not the girls from the earlier story). I let Future know and he immediately went over to them. I winged him and isolated one of the girls to the bar. A student was occupying the third girl while Future moved his to the beach. Fast forward a couple hours later and a make out with my girl, Future appears disheveled with his hair a matte of sand and sweat. The girl he was with comes following behind him with a grin on her face. Since both Future and I have an early flight to catch we say our goodbyes and head out.
As we’re in the car driving back I ask Future what happened. What I figured would be a casual story of sex on the beach turned out to be much more than that. Future started out by saying that there is a certain point where choking someone literally can kill them. Apparently, the girl he found out was very submissive. So much so that he wouldn’t be surprised if she had marks left on her body from that night. Future proceeded to not only have sex with her there on the beach but also fucked her anally. She wanted it so hard and rough that it caused a crowd to gather about 50 yards away. Especially concerning was when two guys actually walked right up to them on the beach, inches away from what they were doing and we’re way too close for comfort. Future later asked her if her friends knew she was into this and she emphatically said, “No, they can never know.”
Understanding what’s possible in any given setting and discovering boundaries by pushing forward to find them is the one greatest piece of knowledge I will have taken away from this bootcamp weekend. Also, always carry more than one condom with you at any given time.
