Gabriel – July 10 (Final)

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…. And then I got accepted to Project Rockstar. And now I’m crammed into the jumpseat, completely fried and on my final leg home. I see the Swedish countryside scream by below me and I’m off….. prematurely swept back to the real world.

A whirlwind of thoughts and excited concerns race through my mind. Will I revert back to my old ways? Do I have the discipline to implement all I’ve learned? Can I give back to others all that has been given to me in the past five weeks. My hunch is that I won’t know the full echo’s of this experience until the dust settles… .and the dust may never settle.

All I know now is that going though this experience was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was on the fence, and I had a lot to lose by coming here, and now I shudder to think that I almost missed out.

The last night here for me was spent getting my fellow rockstars (and random girls picked up at Souls daygame workshop today) decently drunk before heading out on the town one last time. Words were said, tears were shed, and we pulled an all-nighter before raiding the free breakfast at the Scandic. Collin made an appearance in his man-panties (manties), in the lobby for dramatic effect. Then I donned my uniform and marched off into the sunset.

Credits:

Soul:
Thank you for putting such an unbelievable program together. I had no idea coming in what an amazing experience this would be. I feel I’ve gained so much from these past 5 weeks and now it’s my personal mission to get my game to a level where I can hopefully give back to others trying to get their romantic lives under control.

You always seemed to believe in me more than I did myself and I can’t tell you how much that has helped. Seeing you blaze such an original path in life and witnessing the change you catalyze in others has been a constant inspiration on this adventure. I know you had a lot going on in your personal life and this was probably one hell of a juggle, but I have a feeling that the aftermath of PR 2010 will add value to your life tenfold down the line.

Mr. M.
Thank you for thinking of Project Rockstar in the first place. So many people stand to gain from what you started. And thank you for taking the time to teach us game, social circle mastery, and height enhancement (buying my new shoes ASAP). Your enthusiasm is infectious and it was pretty much impossible to have a bad time when you were around. Whatever drug you are taking, I want some!

Farmer
Thank you for showing me that a chill, quiet guy can completely dominate with game. You showed me that I don’t need to be a high energy dog and pony show in order to attract women. And your 80-20 talk has already saved me about 20 hours and 80 grey hairs.

Bullet
Thanks for putting up with us unruly rockstars! Was a huge education having you patiently explain how you brought home so many girls and going over the theory behind it all. I’m implementing your “drop-down-menu” theory as soon as I get home.

Vercetti
Thanks for being a living example of what is possible when we put the work into ourselves. Whenever I slouch down in my cockpit seat, I just picture you staring at me with an amused but disapproving look and I remember to sit up ram-rod strait. And thanks for always being such an accessible, humble guy. Everyone around you always felt comfortable… and that is one of the true signs of a social master.

Whim
I am so glad you took the time to plug into 2010s project rockstar! At the moment, operation Caucasion/Asian efficiency is in full effect. I’ve bought a MAC, divorced my wife, abandoned my kids, and am becoming the most efficient white man in North America. But seriously man, I think Asian Efficiency might be one of the most important elements in achieving my goals, so thanks again for coming to London/Stockholm and putting in the time.

Alex
You were there to support me months before I even went to London. I hadn’t even met you yet, and you took your valuable time to get me prepared and pump me up. And when I met you, you were even more supportive and generous than I had imagined. So thank you for this, and thank you for coming out with us and showing what is possible after PR. Seeing you go home with a stripper you met on the street after the weird “staring eye opener” defied all laws of pickup. One for the books man!

Misha,
We didn’t get to hang out much, but awesome having you around and seeing you in action. Hope to see you in Vegas.

Mark V
You kept us laughing and kept me motivated out in the clubs. Mark…. you can be my wingman anyday (cue cheesy music here). Make sure you get stateside soon so we can tear it up soon.

Prince/Riddler (Sorry I don’t know who’s nickname belongs to whmo, so you get lumped together
Thank you for being our friends and mentors for the past six weeks. With every presentation, I walked out of the room looking at the world with new eyes. I’m coming home with unstoppable energy and courage, and that is due largely to the example you both have set with your own lives. Gentlemen, lets take over the Yoni-verse!

Troy
I had no idea what to expect from you when I came over to London. I had no idea if we’d have anything in common or even get along. Such a great relief when I met you in real life and realized you were and intelligent, compassionate, curious dreamer who I had so much to learn from. Thanks for being my Game tech support!

Ke
Again, I was so surprised to learn how much you and I had in common. You go after your goals with complete disregard for what anyone else thinks and I love you for that. And thanks for putting on the skydive! Nothing like bonding with my brothers at 14,000 feet.
Now that you’ve had some training…. mkay….I know you’ll achieve everything you set out to do.

Collin
Thanks for being a solid friend from day one. It would have been rough going being the only senior citizen in PR, so thanks for helping to show what us old farts can do! You seemed to change the most in PR and it was awesome seeing how quickly you learned.
P.S. I took a recent survey from the girls of SF. Gum-balls= Sexy!!

Laurent
Thanks for always bringing that friendly, outgoing energy to every interaction. For an international drug dealer, you are one of the most kind, considerate, supportive, funny guys I could hope to meet Hope our paths meet again soon brother!

Chase (the racist)
Chase I know that someday I will be one of the 50 white slaves in your sweatshop, but until that day comes I hope to have some serious fun on our gamecations! Thank you for your mischievous sense of humor and sharing your genius for internet marketing. It was always more fun going out when you were around. See you in Vegas (I hope)!

There are a few that I didn’t mention as I didn’t know their online names or forgot. I’ll be thanking each one of you in person, so don’t get your panties all in a bunch.

The map has been drawn, now the journey begins

Captain BlackElvis…. signing out.

Gabriel – July 13

As Chase went over the finer points of Internet marketing, business, life, World of Warcraft, and chronic masturbation, I looked around the room and was again blown away by the quality of people in the room.
Before I came to Project Rockstar, I was not only a total rookie in terms of dating science, but I also knew practically nothing about LoveSystems and it’s history. I didn’t know I’d be in the same room with people who were not only legends in the dating science industry, but major players in the entrepreneur world as well. Each man in the room has lived such an interesting story and accomplished so much before becoming involved in Lovesystems. If I had known, there would have been NO hesitation coming here. I had no idea at the time how lucky I was to be here or how much I’d actually come to care about each person here. As I’ve gotten to know the instructors, I’ve only grown to respect them more as the different aspects of their personality become clearer.

I’ve known Soul for almost a year and his sincerity and dedication to his students made me instantly like him. He has a calm confidence about him that instantly makes you feel comfortable, and you can tell that he in genuinely interested whenever he talks to you. As I’ve gotten to know him better, I’ve constantly been amazed by his insights on life, dating, and social dynamics. What really inspired me is how he has fine tuned his teaching of daytime dating to the point that it’s shockingly effective , even for the most rookie student. The concept of just walking up to a hot girl out on the street and getting the number was a completely intimidating and foreign concept to many of the rockstars. By week two, they were all doing it so much that it became almost impossible for us to get anywhere on time!

I met Mr. M for the first time in San Francisco a couple months ago. I didn’t know that he was a top LS instructor, but he had a charisma that made him stand out immediately. When I helped out at his boot-camp, I realized why he was one of the most sought after instructors at LoveStystems. This particular bootcamp had some challenging older students with body language problems that most likely been ingrained for decades. He and Vercetti accurately pin pointed the problem areas, and with painstaking patience and persistence corrected them. When I took them out in field, I saw these students rock the place, and this is after having no prior training and a long hiatus from the dating world. Amazing to see this transformation.

I met Mark V when I first got to London. His smart-ass humor and balls-out approach to dating and seduction have been a huge help to me as I’ve tried to navigate the intricacies of night clubs.

Alex, Whim, Misha, and Bullet are all former rockstars and have all been like our personal traveling encyclopedias on dating, business, and time management. Bullet has kept the team together and been like a father figure. Whim’s ideas on learning game and time management will most likely change my life when I get home.

Prince and Riddler have gotten really close with all the rockstars of the past couple weeks. Here are two guys that are so far along in life, both professionally and socially, yet seem like the most humble, open minded and friendly guys you’d ever meet. With every presentation they give, we learn a little bit more about their journey and how they constructed amazing lives. Yet with all their expertise in business, relationships, fashion, and NLP, they are just as interested in learning from each of us as we are from them. It makes for pretty much a perfect learning environment with all the brainstorming (partying) going on.

And my fellow rockstars have all dominated in their various areas of expertise before coming here. From business, to skydiving, to internet marketing, to just inspiring me to become better, I’ve gained so much from being around these guys. So thank you all for being F-ing awesome!

I guess I had a fair amount of inaccurate prejudices about what guys in this industry would be like. The only commonality I see after attending Rockstar is that they all seem to be extremely driven, creative, independent, people who have passion for women. And it seems men who have such an intense love of women bring this same intensity to their professional lives.

Lessons Learned:
1) If you can get yourself in the state where you truly WANT to get blown out, this is when you will rock the nightclub.
2) Assume everyone around you is superior to you in some way. You’ll be more receptive to learning from them.

Gabriel – July 11

Hey sorry for the lapse in posts! There has not been many dating related courses since we got to Stockholm, so I didn’t feel the need to post play by play.

Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it pretty much never gets dark here. The city has a kind of Disneyland feel to it.

Jeremy (Soul) gave a great presentation on comfort, seduction, and relationship management when we got here. This was particularly interesting to me, as I’ve been in long term relationships pretty much my whole life and would someday like to help other people in this area.

Prince and Riddler have continued to blow our minds with presentations on values, beliefs, NLP, and goal setting. Yesterday was a particularly interesting day as they went through the basics on micro-facial expression reading. They taught us how to read when someone is lying, telling the truth, or accessing memories. They’ve found it very useful in dating and business negotiations.

Since it never really gets dark here, the team has been staying out at all hours soaking up the city as much as possible. It seems like everyone’s skills are really coming together. Everyone has a different learning process, and in talking to the 2009 rockstars, most of the real breakthroughs will come AFTER project rockstar, when all this knowledge marinates and hopefully becomes wisdom. Collin and Troy have both met (and hooked up with) sexy Swedish girls. Chase continues to rock in field and seems to get better every time I see him. Ke looks way more comfortable with night game and seems to be having more fun than in London. Laurent has always looked comfortable in club environments (exotic looks, style, and the ability to dance doesn’t hurt!), but seems to be doing even better than in London.

Lessons Learned so far:
1) You really can’t change any behavior with out a shift in your values
2) If you are not having fun, your game will suffer. No real way around this

Approach coaching at Mr. M and Vercetti’s bootcamp

I had the honor of being asked to help out at Mr. M and Vercetti’s boot camp as an Approach Coach (AC), even though I see myself as more of an AFC. That being said, I learned more and found the whole experience so much more fun than going out solely to increase my own skills.
Last night it really came back to me why I am here in the first place: To get my skills to the point where I can help other men increase the quality of their love lives. I come from divorced parents, and I have a personal and specific interest in someday being able to help men that are in the unfortunate position of having to jump back into dating after being out of the game for years.

The guy I was working with was an older guy with crazy looking hair. He looked like he could have been a record producer, but his job was in insurance. I knew his heart was in the right place when he said he was looking for “the one” and would go through anything to find her.

When we got in field, his mind locked up and I had to beg, plead, cajole, and almost threaten him to get him into set. The funny thing is, even with his severe approach anxiety, all the sets reacted well and seemed to have more fun when he was around. Winging was relatively easy, although it felt a bit weird whispering instructions into my students ear right in front of girls.Even more weird is the fact that they didn’t seem to notice.

Lessons Learned:
1) It can be way more fun helping someone inexperienced than just going out for yourself
2) Teaching is one of the best ways to gain situational awareness of social situations.
3) Positive reinforcement should come before constructive criticism

July 4

Last night here in London. Helped out again with Mr. M and Vercetti’s boot camp. I saw noticeable improvements in the students I was helping. My student was an older business man who started off his bootcamp with some nervous ticks that he had been unaware of for decades. By his second night in the bootcamp, his body language had tightened up and the girls were absolutely lighting up when he used his direct openers.

When I got back to the rockstar pad we all celebrated and got properly drunk for the first time. Everyone pontificated on the merits of self improvement, spirituality, entrepreneurship and chasing women. Ke brought out his guitar and rocked the house until the sun came up. Collin had a sexy South African girl critique all his latest routines. Ke decided he hates Vodka. Troy decided he likes whiskey (you’re becoming a man now Troy!). I broke out my bible and prayed for the souls of my poor sinner roommates. Truly the most rockstarish night of the trip.

Lessons Learned
1) Direct openers seem to get the best reactions when the student truly feels what he is saying. When I had a student approach an girl that he was only slightly attracted to, his opener fell flat. There is something to be said for using quantity and repetitions to practice, but sincerity and feeling matter more once severe approach anxiety and body language problems are worked out.
2) When you honestly don’t need others approval, it is very forthcoming. I wanted to have a student see me get blown out, so I tried my obnoxious booty on booty opener (I’ll explain later) and it completely backfired. Instead of getting a ruthlessly cold reaction I got laughs, questions, and a whole group of people wanting me to stick around. I’m pretty sure this drove my point home a lot more than if I had just said “be non-reaction seeking” So, everyone go out with the INENTION of getting blown out. See what this does to your mindset.

Gabriel – July 1

(Part 1)

As I walked along the serene water line toward the rockstar apartment, a lumbering jet plane droned directly above me. I looked skyward, and felt the longing to be back in the cockpit. Then felt how lucky I was that I’d be back there in a couple weeks. And in that moment, a huge weight lifted from my heart.. and I decided to just let go for the first time since I’ve been here. and just be happy and stop beating myself up.

For the last couple weeks, I’ve just been kicking myself for my percieved lack of progress. But at this moment of lucid appreciation, I realized that I HAVE been doing my best. That these concepts and skills WILL come… that I just need to keep busting my arse, while also putting more faith in the process. I realized that I’m coming here with the same lust, love, passion, and courage that have brought me through some of my most cherished experienes. And today during hypnosis, all these memories started flooding back: I remembered ripping the sky to pieces in a hot rod of an aerobatic plane, swimming around a sunken freighter off the Barbados coastline, making love to the woman of my dreams in an Italian church, fighting a larger man in front of a huge crowd, landing a bucking airliner in a whitout snowstorm, performing standup comedy in front of packed room of foreigners, going on the untimate road-trip, and most recently, jumping out of a plane.

We started the day with an excellent presentation on public speaking. The guy who was doing the presentation turns out to be an ex cage fighter! This came as a comlete shock to me as he never mentioned anything about fighting the whole two weeks we have known him. He also seems like one of the most soft spoken and gentle guys you’d ever meet.
Prince and Riddler then did a great presentation on Neuro Linguistic Programming, then put us into a hypnotic state and turned us all gay. Just kidding. But he did take our current goals and used these to help us get over some of our sticking points under hypnosis. After my private hypno-therapy session, it turns out I did some things I didn’t remember. This was strange as I felt like I was conciouse and aware of everything happening the whole time.

Lessons Learned:
1) Hypnosis is extremely relaxing
2) Being to hard on yourself can slow down the learning process.
3) The 30 minutes before you go to sleep is the best time to study any material you are trying to master.

(Part 2)

Had our second rockstar council today and thankfully, no one was voted off the Island. As everyone went through their progress, I was very proud of how far everyone has come. Troy is opening girls regularly during the day and night and was able to make sexy time with a really cute girl tonight. Chase is knocking it out of the park with day game and seems to be be really pushing himself with getting more comfortable with night clubs. Collin is settling in, getting more comfortable and really upping his consistency with daytime dating. Ke is being really hard on himself (he’s a perfectionist, like me) but I can see his progress and the fact that he’s doing things he never would have attempted two weeks ago. Laurent is rocking night game with his high energy and was able to full close a girl he brought to the comedy show. I am a work in progress, but I’m pretty sure some of the concepts will crystallize when I approach coach at Mr. M’s bootcamp this weekend.
Someone made a joke about me being the big brother over here at PR. But thinking about it, this is really how I feel. I genuinely care about these guys now and I want to see them succeed. I find myself just as excited when they make a breakthrough as when I make one my own. I’m stoked to see where these guys end up.. especially after PR.

Lessons learned:

1) Others can see our progress much more accurately than we can see our own
2) Realistic goals are important to avoid burnout. “Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years”

Gabriel – June 26

Sat through another brilliant seminar with Jeremy (Soul) and he really broke down daytime dating to its finer points. He has really gone deep, and his presentation seems more streamlined and more concise every time I hear it. Another thing that impressed me was the demonstrations. When he was flirting with one of the students, it seemed extremely real, which drove home the points he was making and gave a more solid frame of reference.

Right after the presentation we went right out to practice in central London. I still feel like I’ve hit a plateau, but they say sometimes its hard to accurately gauge your own progress. I was extremely tired due to only sleeping two hours, so my mental machine was not firing on all cylinders. Even so, I was still able to make some new distinctions and tighten up my body language.

Lessons Learned:
1) It’s important to practice cold reading all the time, even as you walk around. Noticing differences in style, skin, town, and body structure will sometimes allow you to know a lot about a girl even before you approach. This can be a huge help in making a connection and showing you are well traveled and good at reading people
2) Don’t worry about approaching every girl you see. While quantity is important in the beginning, you should only focus on someone you are genuinely attracted to when you get more proficient at daygame.
3) Approaching a group takes flawless technique and good coordination of a decent wingman. Usually there will be one girl in a group that is less interested or bored by the interaction. An engaging wingman or wingwoman can save you here.
4) If you decide to the learn the finer points of dating science, not everyone will understand or be completely supportive. I have a girl that I am severely in love with back home and hopefully I can go on this journey and still have her in my life, but there are no guarantees in life. Be understanding of your friends, family, and loved ones as you go through learning these skills and don’t just assume that everyone will see eye to eye with what you are doing.
