Hey guys I wanna share my experience with a recent workshop on the Gold Coast, Australia

About me:
Since discovering the community by reading the game by neil strauss. I had read through heaps and heaps of great products such as magic bullets, mystery’s revelations and david deangelo’s ebooks. I had some success running canned material which lead me to a few dates and kisses. This was a big step for me and my skills improved.
After a few months the number of dates I had started to drop to only a few number closes a month and not getting any dates or girlfriends... I reverted back to my old AFC. I felt that there is something missing in my game, I was thinking too much about the openers and attraction gambits... one night in surfers paradise my wings and I were in a bar where we suspected a few guys of being PUAs, they had such a natural appeal, they had so much fun opening sets and before I knew it they were isolating targets without even talking to them.

How I found out about them:
After much eavesdropping and much hesitation I approach one of them, “I’ve been watching you guys all night, I need to know... are you a PUA?” No, He replied with a smile.. How is mystery method working for you? Good, I replied.
I introduced myself to them; they were friendly and very alpha. They don’t refer themselves as PUAs but just Alpha. We discuss routine game vs natural game, what openers they were using tonight ect... I wanted to get as much information from these guys as I could. Turns out they all just finished a dating workshop which included a month of ongoing training. They recommended I attend a few seminar about the workshop. I soon as I discovered these guys, I knew this workshop is more me.
They give me a business card, “Alpha: be the man you want to be” it contained an email address and a contact number. I got in contact and after a few emails exchanges I attended the free information seminar called Alpha Forum.
Yes I was nervous yet excited, we met in a local function room. We are a varied group of people, ranging in age from 20 to 35. University students, accountants, engineers, personal trainers ect. I mingled around the room, many guys having similar experiences to me and some people having never heard about the PUA community at all. It didn’t matter, this was something more than PUA training...

The Workshop:
The night began with each of us introducing themself and briefly discussing our experiences are with women where do we get stuck. Mine was relying on canned material to keep the conversation. I was told that what he teaches is how to communicate more naturally and he doesn’t teach routines unless this is a part of your Inner Alpha. This put me at ease, the last thing I want to memorise more lines. Lol
Simon (the instructor) went straight into some theory about the dynamics of men and women interactions. He spoke with so much passion speaking about how to be the alpha man you want. He touched over the few PUA theory topics and gave us practical examples (eg. Hoop theory, shit tests ect). Later he discusses what Alpha had to offer on their workshops. it was exactly what I was looking for, the missing piece in my game. The cost includes a 2 day workshop and a month of ongoing training (2hr sessions, 2 times a week) for $499. The cheapest workshop I’ve ever seen advertised. I immediately enrol!!!
He ensure us this ‘everyone of us will improve’. We started during the day doing a few hours of theory. Simons methods were really different than anything I had read before. It was truly unique and goes beyond picking up girls .... These is only a limited amount of canned openers we use, we are shown how to analyse the situation.... what are the sets doing, where are they ect.... thats the opener.. it only take seconds from the openers to attraction. We covered detail topics of how to tease girls and neg the 9’s and 10’s. It blew me away to know that we only neg if they feel they are higher value and not based on looks. If a HB9 is gives the impression shes a 6, don’t neg her and tease her.
We learned how to handle shit tests... this was an awesome moment for me. Shit tests are actually an IOI. My biggest mistake I make when in a bar or club is ejecting after a shit test. I took them an IOD... eg. “why are you still talking?”Once you pass the shit test and get through the bitch shield it’s an IOI. We learn a simple system to detect them and how to respond to them.
We learn a few attraction gamits and coldreads which are awesome. Also go through many other topics.. body language, kino ect
We learn how to analyse the situation, start a natural conversation, create attraction and how to close. All this while applying the theory we have learned (eg. Hoops theory)
After the 4 hour theory session we went on break to prepare for night game in Surfers Paradise. This is where the fun began! The students who had AA (approach anxiety) simon when them in specific challenges to overcome these, it was my turn to approach I noticed a 4 set walking behind us. I turn around stand in the middle of the path with my finger to my mouth.... ‘shhhh you guys are making too much noise’ that was my opener!!! I stop the moving set and teased about scaring everyone away or something like that can’t remember... did a simple cold read to create a bit of attraction and teased my target... got a number close!
The group was approaching like crazy, opening many sets walking in the street, in the bars, standing in line for the nightclubs and seated sets. One student successfully number closed with the stupidest opener I’ve ever heard.. ‘do you guys know who justin bieber is?’ they way he said it was so easy to transition into a normal conversation.
The night continued till around 2am, I had number closed 3 times and everyone had at least 2 and some kissed closed. Simon quickly explained the importance of bouncing targets between venues and got some student to re-open the sets and try to bounce them.
The next day of the workshop we broke down our performances from the previous night and individually got told what areas we need to improve upon.
We continued with more theory and went out that night gaming. Not to bore anyone reading I’ll wrap it up... my highlight was opened a moving set with ‘hey guys where the party at tonight?’ a simple opener, then negged my target with trying to be the dominate one in the group and number closed.
The workshop includes a month of ongoing training, I meet up with simon or another instructor twice a week. We breakdown our recent approaches and discuss what we did, and occasional go out in field and wing each other on approaches. Recommend it to everyone

Anyone on the gold coast, PM if you need a wingman!!
