It looks as though Richard La Ruina (Gambler), Adam Lyons, and a few others will be holding a bootcamp event in Las Vegas September 6-13.

Here’s a preview:

If you read online marketing about getting women, it’s all about “in just 2 minutes”, the “5 secret steps”, the “simple proven method”…after a while we don’t believe any of it. This stops a lot of guys learning pick up. There are three things that marketers often promise with everything from pheromones to the latest PUA product:

-It works
-It works for everyone (yes even you)
-It works fast and it’s easy.

Here’s the truth on these promises when it comes to good Pickup training:
-Yes it works
-It works to an extent for everyone
-It can be fast-ish and easy-ish but that isn’t always the case.
-THERE WILL BE SOME TOUGH TIMES!

Let me break down the truth behind the marketing…

Pick Up definitely works, there is a mountain of undeniable evidence of guys that have transformed their lives. The big question is how quickly and easily it works. I’ll be able to give you an idea of that, first let me ask you a few questions:
-Have you slept with and had relationships with some women already?
-Are you comfortable in some social situations?
-Do you have natural qualities of either humour, cockiness, story-telling skills, interesting life experience, acting, dancing.
-Do you have female friends?
-Are you successful and confident in a particular area – eg work or sport?
-Are you in decent shape and do you dress pretty well?
-Are you good at picking up new skills quickly?
-Are you intelligent?

You can take the above and assign a few points for each “Yes” answer and then add them together to see how much you can likely achieve in a given period of time. Guys that have a few of the above going for them will be at an advantage. It’s not the same for everyone, these guys WILL be better than guys that say “no” to the above. A guy that is confident at work, has interesting stuff to talk about, has some natural conversational quality and has some experience with women could get this area totally handled in a few hours. A guy that has never kissed a girl, is unemployed, and has nothing interesting going on might take months to even get a number (assuming he doesn’t do some intense training like the Residential Course).

I was a guy who started game at 25. At that point i’d had a girlfriend and slept with one other girl, those were also the only girls i’d kissed. I had no female friends, and no real male friends. I was bad in all social or group situations, comfortable talking with my mum but not naturally funny or good at telling stories. I was good at learning things quickly and was intelligent. I was confident on the stock market but this didn’t translate to dealing with people in that realm since I did it all from home by myself with just the computer for company. My starting point was lower than 90% of the students I see.

And now the final point, the thing the marketers never mention – It can be very fucking tough!

When you are gaming, you are putting your soul on the line. You are sticking your neck out. You are rolling the dice. It’s not like signing up to that distance learning course, this is something you have to do, more like tennis lessons. Except we don’t really care if we are good at tennis, we can live with always being shit at tennis, at being “the kind of person that will always SUCK at tennis”, we can’t live with always being shit with women, we’d rather be dead. We need that hope that we will someday be good. That hope is something that we can cling to.

When we start taking action we are giving away our hope and exchanging it for either:
-Success with women
-The memory of the attempt at being successful which failed.

In the second case, the hope has now gone, leaving us with nothing to live for. Depressing for sure, but this powerful force is what stops us taking the action that we think we should, we don’t want to give
our hope away and potentially exchange it for something far worse. It’s what held me back for so long. Understand this and you can take control. But let’s get on to what you can expect on any big journey…

There will be horrible times. You will be harshly rejected, and it will hurt. You will get a number and be so happy and then be dejected when she ignores your text. You will think a girl really likes you and then she will just stop answering your calls. You will get dumped, in some shit way like by email or facebook, and it’ll probably make you cry. If you learn this stuff over a few months you will have
to experience a whole 5-10 years of bad stuff in that condensed time.

Here’s the good news:

It’s no longer left to chance, each error can be corrected next time, you are playing a computer game with “infinite lives”. You WILL know what you did wrong. Each time you fuck up and fail you’ll be further along, you’ll never go back to zero. You can at least approach, you can at least get numbers, you can at least get into relationships in the first place, you at least know you can get another date. The lows stop feeling so bad and the highs get better and better. Just like the average self-made millionnaire who went bankrupt 5 times, you need to learn and fail and suffer MORE than the average guy in order to be stronger and better than the average guy. It’ll make you into the man you want to be instead of a pussy, no one does this and gets to the end and stays a pussy. It’ll root out all of the shit things about yourself and force you to become a better man.

So here I am…I feel like I got to where I want to be. I don’t make massive mistakes, i’ve made them all already. I make small ones, and those are correctable. I can meet a beautiful girl, I can fall for
her and she’ll fall for me, i’ll want her and she’ll want me, we’ll be happy together. If it doesn’t work out, there are other girls out there, amazing girls aren’t amazingly common but i’ll find one and it
won’t take too long. I can’t be crushed for too long, I can’t be lonely for too long, and i’ll never feel helpless – I can help myself. I don’t want to be a robot with no emotions, but my game protects me
from feeling the real lows because I always know that i’m never going back to the situation I was in.

In sum, yeah it’s scary, yeah it will be tough, but it’s a road that you’ve got to take if you want to be happy.

I thought a very revealing video by Richard about his upbringing and journey to become one of the leaders in the European community with PUATraining.

Richard La Ruina (Gambler) is back on this segment on NutsTV (?). They’re getting some weird TV shows over there in the UK. Richard’s book “The Natural Art of Seduction” has been released now, read more about it there.

From the PUATraining website:

Richard La Ruina’s (Gambler) new book, The Natural Art of Seduction is causing a storm. It is the first book that teaches men how to become a natural with women. A natural is someone who is in complete control of their love life, he has choice with women and can use this skill to achieve any goal in this area from being a playboy to finding a committed relationship and making it work.

Most people believe that you either have it or you don’t. Richard La Ruina definitely didn’t have it. He was a shy, introverted man with hardly any friends, who hadn’t kissed a girl until he was 20 years old. The turning point was one day, when he realized that ability with women was a skill that could be learned just like any other. He studied night and day, talked to thousands of women, and later, trained hundreds of men.

Over the course of two years, he went from being as bad as could possibly be, to being Europe’s greatest seducer.

The Natural Art of Seduction does two things. Of course, it tells Richard’s journey in his own words, all the mistakes, the embarrassing moments, the lessons learned, but it also gives you the concrete step by step techniques to become a master seducer yourself. The tried and tested methods, and the techniques for each stage of a seduction.

Learn The Natural Art of Seduction from the only person who is qualified to teach it. If you are in England, you can buy The Natural Art of Seduction from Amazon.co.uk.

Here’s a video from PUATraining

Our good friend at PUATraining, Gambler, had an interview recently on BBC radio talking about women, dating, and the keys to seduction. You can download the MP3 here, its about an hour and a half the way through.

Some of you might have hear about PUATraining’s release of their non-live product. This seems like a big jump for them, as they previously have only been involved in live teaching/student live-in programs. I’ve actually seen a few draft copies of Gambler’s ebook. Gambler has an interesting story that you can read over at the old blog.

Here was an email I got from Gambler a week or so ago:

Since releasing the stories of some of the graduates from my training events, the response has been overwhelming.

I’ve been getting emails from people who want in on the big results, but can’t make it out to London for a live training program for a variety of reasons.

Well here’s some news that might be of interest you…

The PUA Training Home Study System is ready for a release that should fall somewhere between September 15th and
September 22nd.

In the coming days I’ll be updating you with some “behind the scenes” details, but here is a quick overview…

I started working on this well over a year ago. Back then I thought I could cover everything in just an eBook, but as I worked on it
and trained over 600 men live, in-the-field, I realized that it would take far more then a simple eBook to teach everything behind the Natural PUA Training Method.

It took a very long time but we now have a full blown PUA Training Course, including a jam-packed ebook, mission-based workbook, Blueprints, Diagrams, checklists, 6 Audio Training Modules, and a unique Belief Shifting Program. As well as a few other pieces that I’ll be letting you know about in the coming days.

The course will cover everything I use and teach to pickup women without lines, routines or gimmicks…day and night. Everywhere from the coffee shop to the bar.

In short, this is a complete brain dump of everything I know about picking up women.

And you will be able to get it in just a week or two.

In the next few days I will be keeping you updated on the progress so please stay tuned.

Cheers, Richard (AKA Gambler)

Has anyone seen the program? If so, what are your thoughts, how is it different and how has it helped? It seems like a decent system for only $97.

If you haven’t heard of PUATraining, check out the site for more information on their home study course.

Pickup artists in the community have been trying to master the art of getting women by learning through a vartiety of sources: ebooks, DVDs, bootcamps, phone and one-on-one consulting services.

What if you could actually live with a world famous pickup artist, that has had proven results?

Crazy thought. Well, I got an email from Gambler. He’s a good friend, he lives near Leicester Square in London. He runs a pimp pad with a bunch of other pick up artists and some might call it the Secret London Lair. Gambler apparently didn’t learn about the community till after alittle while through him searching for answers to his dating problems. You can read all about Gambler’s interview about his journey from chump to chick magnet, and how he set up one of the worlds largest PUA Training companies. Fascinating stuff, and gives hope to a lot of guys out there.

Anyways, Gambler is now offering Residential Courses to approved candidates. I actually had a friend who took the residential course whom I met a Doctor Paul seminar in Chicago in March. He then flew to London and took the residential course. He was from Brazil, and emailed me about how much his game improved. Gambler told me he brought back two women on both nights – to confirm!

Some of the features:

-$1.5m apartment in W1, 2 minutes walk from the absolute center of London.
-Double bedroom with en-suite to bring girls back to
-Living with Gambler
-Access to VIP parties at London’s top venues
-8 Trainers, wing girls, female trainers
-75 hours total.

So that’s the details. I know from personal experience that its often hard to feel the vibe of getting women from just reading a book or watching a DVD. That’s why boot camps are so useful in accelerating your learning curve.

Read more about it over on Gambler’s website where he outlines SPECIFICALLY what you’ll do, and how you’ll do it.

Have you ever been around someone, or even seen someone on TV who can hold your attention completely and draw you in? Would you like to have these same skills and apply them to your interactions with women, people in general, and even for public speaking? Here’s what you do:

No “errrs, ummms, ands…”

Remove these things from your speech, ummm, because, errr, they are redundant and… make people lose interest. Analyse your speech and you will either errr, ummm, or use the elongated “and” to fill space between thoughts. What do you need to do instead?…

Use Pauses

A pause draws people in, it is a tool of politicians and skilled public speakers. By pausing … at key points … people start to … hang on your every … word. Try it out, coupled with the above, you are already better than 99% of people.

Be Emotive When Speaking

Or at least seem to be doing so. Speak with passion. If you do not seem enthusiastic or passionate about something, it doesn’t matter how interesting the thing is that you are talking about, people will lose interest.

If you do this right, women will get caught up in your story and start to feel emotions too. Tony Robbins is an excellent example of someone who seems to always speak with passion and emotion.

Eye Contact

Make eye contact with the woman or with each member of the group. Never look down, and don’t look away. When you make eye contact with someone, they pay more attention. If you are looking away, their attention can wonder and they will lose interest. With a group, pay attention to each member of the group so that you keep them all interested.

Gestures

Use of gestures is something that is most important with larger groups. Movement catches the eye’s attention more than anything else, so if the group is too big to hold eye contact with, use of gestures will help to keep them focused on you.

Facial Animation

Being expressive in your face draws people in. Try to hold a poker face when speaking about something really fun and see the negative effect. Emotion expressed generates an emotional response in the woman.

Tonality

A sure-fire way to hold attention is to vary the voice tone. This takes practice, and shouldn’t be taken too far, but a bit of voice tone variation adds a lot. Try reading the most interesting thing in the world in a monotone and you’ll see what I mean.

If you follow all these tips, you will be better socially, more successful with women and could be a great public speaker or salesman!
