The Sherlock Holmes of Pickup

When you start a habit of approaching and that habit continues for years, one of the side effects of that habit is you start to be able to read women very well, even simply by looking at them.  I had a client two weeks ago who is a mentalist for a living.  That means he travels around from city to city doing mind-reading tricks on people for conventions or special events.  Anyways, he came to LA for a few days to train with me, and here's what he had to say about the weekend:

I arrived in Los Angeles around noon on Thursday. Shortly after arriving at my hotel, I received a phone call from Jake. Jake went over the goals for the 1on1, and we set up where we’d meet up later in the evening. The goals Jake had for me were not lofty at all. His goal for me was just to take me to next level above where I’m at right now. I was fine with this because it was realistic, and I wasn’t expecting to be great at pick up after 2.5 years being out of the game.

One thing I noticed about this trip that I was not as nervous for this 1on1 like I was for others. This is my third 1on1 since January 2014.

Jake and I met at a fast-casual restaurant for dinner. Jake and I talked about our history and how we both came into the game. I have been off and on for the last 10 years since my divorce. Jake’s stories were very funny, and I found it very inspiring how much he dedicated himself to it, as he says he is not a natural at this stuff. After about an hour talking, we both headed to the first bar to do some approaches.

When we left I didn’t feel very anxious about doing some approaches but as soon as I walked through the door at the bar I felt that nervous energy that always brings my state down. Jake and I took a lap around the bar. I noticed Jake was extremely social with everybody he came in contact with. He was definitely the man to know at the bar that night. 

After about 30-45 minutes I finally digged up the courage to make some approaches. The first two were quick, low energy, and went nowhere. The highlight of the night came when Jake pointed out a girl showing a lot of skin in the shoulders. We saw her leave her friends and Jake told me to position myself near a entrance way that the girl will have to come through when she came back from the ladies room. I waited about five minutes until I finally saw her coming through. I locked eyes on her, pointed at her hair, and delivered the Trading Hair opener. I don’t even know if I finished or not before the girl grabbed my chest, and then my hand and squeezed like she was really into it. She then walked away. I probably should’ve followed her but I was quite surprised with the reaction from the girl. That usually doesn’t happen ever!

I made a few more approaches but could never spit out the attraction routines after my openers. I guess I found it quite the achievement that I actually opened that I just abandoned the rest of the interaction. Not good on my part.

We went to two more bars that night and my approaches did not seem to improve at all. What I probably got the most out of the workshop was watching Jake approach and interact with girls. It came so naturally to him. Never once did it appear like he was spitting out routines. I saw him only open once with a routine and that was a pair of black girls with Trading Hair. They both were going nuts over it! Jake pushed the envelope a little too much with these girls and we eventually had to leave for another set. 

Jake spotted a Canadian girl with two friends and he opened her. He talked to her for a good 30-45 minutes with me listening in and observing. He fb closed her but could’ve easily made out with her. In fact, he even asked me if I wanted to see that happen but I misunderstood him and said “no, lets move on.”  I wish I could’ve seen this and taken it in.

Day Two

Jake and I met up at a Starbucks to start the day off.  We discussed what happened the night before, what went wrong, and what I needed to do that night to improve. He went over a few sexy stereotypes for me but we both agreed there really wasn’t one for the profession that I am in; therefore, Jake decided to go with a fashion strategy that is current, timeless, and has mass appeal. We spent the next 6 hours shopping for clothing all over Hollywood.  For me this was the highlight of the weekend.  Jake cared so much about picking the perfect outfit for me that he would constantly refuse the store clerk’s fashion advice.  Jake knew exactly what he wanted for and was determined to get it!

After shopping for a jacket, pants, rings, shirt, and shoes we finally had it.  Jake was so excited about what he created.  I was quite impressed too but it was so different than what I’m used to. We then headed to Jake’s barbershop to get my haircut and beard trimmed.  This was the finishing touch that I needed.  After all was said and done, Jake and I agreed that I looked like a totally different person and was ready for a big night out for some approaches.  We went out to eat, and then headed back to our places to rest an hour or two before going out.

I ubered over to the first bar of the night and met Jake there.  It was more of my style of bar.  The music was not as loud and not near as crowded. There were loads of hot women here though. Once again I had problems “self starting” with the approaches and Jake obviously knew it. I finally got pissed off at myself and decided to show Jake what I did for a living and opened a table full of Grecian girls with a mind reading effect. This blew their minds and immediately got me into state. When I got into state I opened a friend of theirs with Horse Girl and I was off flying for the rest of the evening. I made a few quick approaches before I ran into a hot blond with her almost as equally hot brunette friend with the Horse Girl routine. The blonde ate it up and I was locked in with these two for a while. I delivered the Whatever song and totally butchered it. Oh well, it was my first time doing it live in front of someone so I’m not going to beat myself up too much over it.  Jake came over and winged me when he noticed I started struggling. We talked for a while and eventually gave the girls my business card before I left. This was a huge mistake on my part as I should’ve number closed the blonde as I probably would’ve gotten in. I kinda wish we would’ve stuck around pulled these two but I had more work to do.

Most of the bars were completely dead because of it being right after New Years’. We concluded the night by going to one last bar. Nothing here to really approach. Just a bunch of old ladies. We concluded the night here.  Jake seemed very please with my improvement from the night before. I was quite happy with myself too mostly from how I did with the hot blonde at the first bar we went to
.
Day Three

Jake and I met for coffee and immediately took an Uber to Santa Monica to do some game at an outdoor bar near the ocean.  This was a very nice place and the girls here were unbelievably hot and may have intimidated me a bit. It was time to put my new fashion and skills to the test.  Once again I had trouble self starting to get out of the gate.  When I did my approaches were very sloppy and I really seemed nervous.  Jake, on the other hand, was in his element. 

My education today was just watching Jake and taking in everything that he did with girls. This was the true education for me during the weekend. Where I didn’t do too hot with approaches, watching Jake made up for it because I now do or think whatever Jake does in any difficult situation I find myself with a girl.  It was at that daytime spot where I realized that Jake possesses a skill that left quite the impression on me.  Jake would look around the place with me and point to a girl, then he would tell me about that girl's past and present dating life and how she viewed herself, just by observing the clothes she was wearing, her body type, and the friends she was hanging out with.  This is a very valuable skill to have in my line of work, and I immediately referred to Jake as the "Sherlock Holmes" of pickup.

We finished up a that bar and went for some pizza nearby.  This is where Jake hit me with some sound philosophy regarding where I am at the moment. I was thinking too much on the negative things and what I couldn’t do instead of things I am doing well and where I am at NOW. We headed back to the hotel for a few hours rest before heading back out to Hollywood for some night game.

That night we returned to first bar we went to on Thursday night.  I didn’t waste anytime opening here because I wanted to finish strong.  The first approach was a blowout.  The second approach was a cute blonde with her black friend.  She responded very well, and I was able to make it through a few attraction routines before she wanted to see one of my mind reading effects.  After I finished the routines and did a little comfort game my state lowered considerably.  Jake held everything up for a while but I just ran out of stuff to say which is my biggest weakness when going out talking to girls.  We eventually exited the group thinking we would see them again later in the night (we didn’t).  The rest of the night was bad for me and Jake could tell I was really tired from the busy weekend.  We decided to conclude the evening with Jake telling me where I was at and what I needed to work on when I returned home.  Even after a bad final night I knew I could approach and do well in sets but the key for me was just self starting.

I highly recommend a 1on1 with Jake.  If you have trouble approaching like me, it is well worth just to go out and hang with Jake for the weekend and watch how he interacts with women.  I believe he could pick up any woman he wants after watching him this weekend.  He was able to give me every single detail on why my approaches were going bad.  He even gave me a few new routines to learn when I am met with certain contingencies during a set.  Jake also customized a few routines with me that go very well with my mind reading act that I perform regularly.  I am very excited to use these.
Since coming home I always think WWJD (what would Jake do) when approaching any situation.  I have had many problems with a girl from work the past few months and my first night back I continuously said and did stuff around her that Jake would’ve done during our 1on1.  Her behavior towards me that night was completely different and more submissive than ever before.  Well it resulted in me taking her home and making out with her, something I’ve rarely done the past few months during our troubles.  

Jake’s dominant struggles are the REAL DEAL.  I can’t wait to practice these because they are indeed a game changer.  Just the fashion makeover alone was worth the money in going out there because, as I learned over the weekend, it is truly your ticket to the door!  Women will look at you and take you way more seriously with a Jake makeover. Trust me! I know from experience!  I do believe we accomplished our goal of taking me to the next level which is giving me the tools to the toolbox to go out and approach and have success with it.  The key is just me going out 3x/week and 50 approaches a month.  It will be done and I can't wait to see where it takes me.  I will definitely have another 1on1 with Jake and I recommend you do as well!

Thanks for the review Chad!
