FIELD REPORT JANUARY 9TH 2008
Ok so here is my first field report. Just to give you some background information:
I’m an aPUA, I’ve been active in the community for a few months now. I just got out of a relationship at the end of December, and I’m “back in the game”.
My most recent sticking point was negging, I overcame that and now its trying to get my attract material to stick, and how to isolate. Also for the emotional progression model, do I go attract, comfort, Qualifiaction – What order do I do them in and when (after I isolate, when she’s with her friends? Etc…) When do I kiss? (after the attract stage or what?, I know the three IOI’s and go for it…..)

For the night in question, I had originally set out to learn to transition, in doing so I opened 15 sets talked with some people for a bit about normal stuff (non threatening, non hitting on, just interesting pebbles to keep them interested, cold reads, best friends tests etc…)
We were at a house party approx 150 people there, I knew maybe around 50% of them from school.
I eventually opened up a 5 set of the best looking girls at the party (who I didn’t know) There were two HB7’s, One HB 9 (my target), Two HB 6.

I went up to them and used the cologne opener on them, got their responses and a few laughs from it. Then I asked how they all knew each other. 4 of them are good friends, and one had just met that night and was a natural clone (although less hot) of the HB9. So I made some teasing remarks about twins, whos the evil one etc… I negged my target because she mentioned her hairstyle is different and she had just gotten it done that day. I said “You really make that 80’s hairstyle work” (Found in “negs treasure chest”) and I kept going. I then got another remark from one of the HB7’s and I negged her.

In retrospect I shouldn’t have as she wasn’t a girl to get hit on a lot. My question to you guys is do I ONLY neg the target or what? Am I over analysing?

So they eventually started saying it was cold and wanted to go upstairs, they left and I was left with the less hot twin of my target. I mentioned to her new found friends I’d bring her up in a minute”, we shot the shit about some jewelry we had on, that turned out was both given to us by our respective grandparents. I thought, why not work on some light kino and build some sort of rapport to use her as a pivot. I did some light kino, by first picking up her necklace she had on, I had a good response so I moved into Style’s evolution phase shift routine, I got to hair pulling after we were talking about hairstyles again. I seeded it with I used to have hair her length (shoulder) and how girls hair is always so nice and smooth while guys hair is always frizzy, I then say you know what I miss about long hair? Is hair pulling and you know when you pickup a cat by the scuff of its neck it freezes? She said what do you mean, so I did it. I maintained eye contact and smiled while I did it. I got a good reaction, we talked for a bit more about the music playing and then she said we should go upstairs.


Anyway, what I’ve found in the sets I’ve opened, is that to avoid clingyness, and also (in the sets that I’ve eventually KC or RC) the takeaway builds on attraction, anyway I told her I’d be up in a second and then went to rejoin some of my friends that I knew.

Upon going upstairs I rejoined the group.
The girl I was talking to ended up leaving and I now had a 4 set. I ended up talking about relationships and throwing in my cocky-funny remarks about them, I remember some banter lines I used that were good:

I said the following to my target in a “throw and go way”

You: We're too much a like. We'd never get along
Her: Why?
You: Because we'd never have anything significant to argue about. So we'd have to make up petty little things to fight about... And I'd always win.
Her: No you wouldn't
You: Yes I would
Her: No
You: You see, we're arguing right now... And you started it
Her: No I didn't. You did
You: OMG, just let it go. If you're going to keep acting like this, I will so have to break up with you
Her: (Whatever. Doesn't matter)
You: Hey, but at least we'd have good make up sex
Her: (Whatever)
You: Yeah, just kidding anyways. We don't have to get in arguments to have sex
Here's another argue routine, I think it was Harlequin who once posted in a field report.
You: Do you want to have an argument?
Her: No
You: Yes you do

- Have you been drinking again?
- You must've driven your parents crazy
- What kind of trouble have you been up to?
- Your last boyfriend must've hated that about you

Now I got shot down for this one……
- You got a fat chick personality

the response I got from them was “don’t say that because girls will just hear the fat part and think you’re an asshole” – DENIED!

So I did what any respective person would do – changed the subject to something else, in this case I ran into one of my DHV routines, I did the 5 question game and then went and told a DHV story about myself.

There was a keggar that my friends and I were throwing on the following Friday, I didn’t invite them, then they said I was a lot of fun and I number closed them courtesy of Style – I got a piece of paper and a pen gave it to them, they wrote down their numbers I wrote down mine and I told them to draw a picture of themselves so I could remember who they were. They lauhged and I got their numbers – all 4 of them.
Now my question to who is reading this, is do I just get my targets number, or getting them to a party is cool as well?

So the night goes on and I got some guys numbers for hanging out, the HB6 said “how many numbers you get” I responded, that’s why I told you to draw a picture I gets lots of numbers.

Anyway so they left pretty much after that, in retrospect I ignored and pushed away the HB6 which caused her to IOI and CB the other girls.
So I should push away the HB 9 and then work on the rest of the group.

I reached my new sticking point – when to launch attract material and how to make it stick.
My other question to you guys, is do you have any posts that break down what steps the emotional progression model is? I know open, but when to switch to attract, comfort etc… just wondering if you got any good posts to learn how to do that.

Also when should I be looking for IOI’s to kiss.
I know when I open a set I get IOI’s but you ignore them because usually they are trying to get control over you. So do I look to KC after attract? Comfort? What?

I find that in my experience, I’ve found that if I can KC the first time I meet, than day 2 I can USUALLY FC with about 50% success rate, the other 25% it either goes LJBF or I can use her as a Pivot.

Anyway let me know your thoughts, if you need more detail, message me
