Review of RedpoleQ's Text Seminar I first took the Text Seminar sometime in 2017, if I remember correctly. RPQ revamped it recently and I was able to attend that as well. The principles taught in RedpoleQ’s Text Seminar will challenge your perceptions, but if well practiced you will ultimately be armed to take on the toughest challenges when texting girls. Like playing chess where one has only pawns to start with. The best part is the Text Chat, which is a great learning environment and like my personal Texting 911. The uncanny thing about the chat is that after hundreds of situations and emergency cases I asked for helped over the course of a year, like sending the wrong thing to the wrong girl, getting girls out where it seemed highly improbable, or a reg wanting to break up suddenly, the number of cases where the advice didn’t work was exactly zero. And then I look back at all the other guys asking for help and their cases. Same thing. It’s almost freakish.

On Movie Night we watch an episode of a show or movie and break it down to deepen our understanding of female psychology. It's also fun! With RPQ at the helm, know that it will be a good experience. You can check out our previous sessions in this thread. Movie Night is open to all, even non-members. Get in touch with RPQ if you want to join!

Jesus...really epic that you got a set that was this long! Good stuff man^^ Inspirational bro! Welcome to the team and looking forward to the FRs^^

Haha I was there!! God, it was like a scene from a movie! Yeah man! This was a good reminder for me. I was there too! RPQ saw it coming from a mile away, saying you tend to eject early in general, and sent in McConnell lol. Definitely bro~ keep asking questions in the chat and forum. It'll help with staying engaged. Good report man! That was a really fun couple of weeks. Keep the FRs coming!

Welcome to the crew man! And good stuff for pulling through~ I love kino~^^ You've now got Kane and us to support you. Write Frs, questions, any sticking points and blast through them on by one

Nice. Now if you're in Asia, and the girl is interested but speaks zero to little English, what are some things you can do to make it easier for her to get what you mean? LOL! I'm gonna be telling this story to future members! Haha! Exactly! Cheers for plowing through the boot camp, even though you were sick. Love the energy and enthusiasm you had opening the sets! Good stuff, and looking forward to future FRs!

Yeah bro, I'm a natural introvert myself. I used to be like, "What the hell am I doing here??" Anyways I went often enough and got used to it, now it's totally normal. I'm not jumping around being crazy, but I'm comfortable. Sometimes I dance a silly dance, bob my head, enjoy the music, walk around smiling looking at all the beautiful girls. It's ironic because you're given a free pass to be even MORE intimate in loud, dark environments with high stimulation! Maybe not emotionally, like you won't be having deep conversations. But if you have some light, fun conversations, you can get super close, side-by-side, hugging hips with your hand around her waist, talking into her ear. And it'll be totally normal! Haha. Welcome to the crew bro Write some reports, we'll read and comment. And ask lots of questions!

Fashion Seminar - July 2017 With McConnell I took the Fashion Seminar with three other guys. I gotta say it’s one of the most enlightening courses I’ve ever taken. Why I took the seminar: I wanted to know how to look my best. It was a lot of guesswork before the seminar. There’s just something about a man that nails his look. It makes me think, “Woah, who is that guy.” I wanna be that guy! My thoughts on fashion: - My fashion + body language is my opener before I ever say anything. - I learned that it’s fun! It’s a form of self-expression. And when I nail an outfit and get compliments, it feels great. My fashion + body language is my opener before I ever say anything. I always had an interest in fashion. Since coming to Korea I saw a lot of well-dressed guys. I wanted to look good but didn’t really know what I was doing. After taking the seminar it’s very clear now what to do. I can walk into shops know what to look for and how to match pieces. What I liked about the seminar was that McConnell explained fashion step-by-step, starting with the most basic concepts and then moving to more complex topics. Learning about neutral colors and how to match pieces together was a game changer and simplified fashion for me. With the right knowledge it’s easy to look good. The fashion chat is super helpful as well. McConnell does a great job in answering all of our questions. We show our outfits of the day, and when we go shopping I ask him, for example, which type of pants or shirt suit me the best and he replies. It’s like having my own fashion consultant. The amazing thing about fashion is that it’s easy to progress extremely quickly! It’s almost addictive. Basically once you know how to buy and match clothes, the results are stellar. There’s one member, Aegyo, who I saw before the seminar. A couple of weeks later he looks completely different! Major life upgrade. The last part of the seminar is how to dress to attract the certain type of women we want. Something I never thought about and very interesting! Summary: - Fashion is really fun. It’s an easy way to be creative and expressive. - It’s easy to progress really quickly! Learn how to pick and match clothes. Wear them. Avoid critical mistakes. Boom, done. - McConnell has lots of experience, is a good teacher, explains things simply. - The fashion chat saves tons of time and money. Instead of buying random clothes, I check-in with the chat to see what’s the best item for me - Learned what to do and what NOT to do - Learned how to find colors that match myskin type / palette - I wish I took the seminar when I first arrived in Korea, to save lots of money and time If you’re thinking about taking the seminar and have any questions, feel free to post below!

Aegyo! Excellent notes, and you have an amazing work ethic. Come out with us often and see how we put it to use. I hope you'll learn to enjoy the game, relax, have fun and laugh while talking with girls! By the way, I was a big fan of Simple Pickup as well. I watched a lot of their episodes from Project Go a long time ago. I didn't do game much in the West, but I imagine that Americans and Koreans respond very differently, hence the culture difference. I had to unlearn a lot of bad habits. I'm still unlearning a lot of Western stuff these days, especially after taking the sex and text seminars! Cheers and welcome to the group!

Haha awesome handle dude! Welcome to the crew, and so awesome to hear your mindset changed about tall chicks! Sent from my SM-G906S using Tapatalk

Good stuff man, love our short analysis after every set! You're a fast learner indeed I learned lots of lessons as well. Sent from my SM-G906S using Tapatalk

Good stuff man, it was eye opening to watch you guys in set! I've had the same realizations during my boot camp. Especially the part about the ease of kino at night, and thinking a set isn't going well but in fact is totally fine.

Good stuff brotha, and love the handle! I remember we were discussing your realizations after the bootcamp and it impressed me. Specifically, the thoughtful way that your mind reflects, and also opening daytime sets after the bootcamp...on your own!!! If voice projection in loud venues at night is an issue, perhaps places like bookstores would suit you better to begin with. Way more chiiillll. You'll definitely shine in day game. Can't wait till you're back in Korea and hitting it again

@RedpoleQ Thanks man, the bootcamp has definitely been a game changer. @Romeo Those three points are eactly right: Going out, asking questions, and applying the advice. The path to knowledge and experience.

Approach Mastery Bootcamp Seoul November 2016 Bootcamp Instructor: RedPoleQ About me I first learned about pickup about eight years ago, starting with Double Your Dating and The Game. I’ve read a lot of stuff since then but never really went out and open cold sets. Only since coming to Korea did I start approaching girls, if only occasionally. Coming to Korea, I used Tinder and HelloTalk a lot to to meet girls. I had some success, but I knew I needed to eventually go out and talk to women. My main obstacle to cold approaching was fear. Still, I knew there are skills to be learned in the field that I wouldn’t be able to get just by using dating apps. I felt like I needed a good push and lots of help. Hence, I took the bootcamp. Well, having now taken it, there is a clear difference between before and after. I now go out on weekends and game at night. It’s something I thought I wouldn’t be doing, but here I am. And I’m loving it A lot has happened during the bootcamp. I’ll write some of the lessons I’ve learned. Structure The nice thing is that there was structure to this game. Specific steps during the conversation that have a specific purpose. I’m a very, “What do you I say? / What should I open with? / What do I say next?” kind of guy. Being pushed into sets On my own, it was a challenge to overcome fear and open sets. But there’s a certain energy that comes with having someone tell you to go for something. With RPQ by my side, he would tell me who to open and what to say. Perfect! The first day in Itaewon we started off easy.The second night at Octagon was intense, opening one set after another. Persistence I tend to eject out of a set easily. At the first sign of disinterest, I’m quick to bail. With RPQ there, it’s the first time I really pushed through a conversation waaaaay longer than I thought was possible. My limits were pushed further and further. To my surprise, the girls didn’t run away and kept talking. This is a realization I probably wouldn’t have gotten on my own. Kino Kino is something I enjoy doing, and I believe a powerful tool in game. Being touched in a friendly manner feels good. What I learned is that I can take kino way further than I thought. For example, I typically talk from a distance with a girl. But in a bar and club, RPQ showed I can go much closer, literally right next to her side. This is what I do now when I meet a girl in high energy environments like bars and clubs: I open her, and while talking I move right next to her, shoulder-to-shoulder but in a V shape (it’s hard to talk if side-by-side, and being directly in front of her can be threatening). In this position, I put my hand on her back while we’re talking. Then Martin showed me that in this position I can have my leg against the back of her leg so that there is even more kino. I remember in Club Octagon I was talking to a girl, and I could feel someone moving my arm onto the girl’s back (I forgot to do so). It was RPQ! Haha talk about stealth. Wing game This is so much fun. We learned how to introduce a wing into the set and check up on how they’re doing. The key things to communicate are: 1. Who your target is, 2. How the set is going, 3. If your wing is ready to bounce the girls. “How’s it going?” “Ah, it’s alright.” = having difficulty with my target. “It’s going awesome!” = I’m into my target too, and it’s going well. My issue after the bootcamp was that I kept forgetting to check up on my wingman during the set. My wing let me know, and after a couple of sets of practice I got it down. Qualification As preparation for the bootcamp, we were supposed to think deeply and write about our perfect lifestyle, our perfect self, and the qualities in a woman that would fit that. The exercise made us think about the qualities we seek in women. When we meet them, we can now ask questions to see if she matches up with these qualities. Qualification is something I read about in books before, but never really put into practice. Now I see how valuable it can be. It shows the woman that we are we are looking for something beyond looks. We seek out her unique personality traits, and if we like them we tell her. I mean, how many other guys in a club are doing that?! Explanations We were on the main Gangnam strip. As my wing opened two girls with flowers, I saw that the target was enjoying the interaction but her friend wasn’t. RPQ was right next to me explaining the situation: the wing didn’t open the entire set. He focused on talking with just one girl, and the other girl felt left out. Had he engaged all of the women, he would’ve had a better chance. Seeing this unfold live and having someone explain it to me was “Aha!” moment. Intelligent, thoughtful answers Anytime I had a question, RPQ would think for a moment and then answer. I was impressed by the breadth of his knowledge and experience. Furthermore, he taught a lot of specific details he knew about Asia and Korea that were different from Western game. Post-bootcamp Community If bootcamp was the cake, the community is the sweet icing. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many intelligent and driven guys in the alumni group. They’ve been through what I’ve been through and make great wings because they all know the procedure. On my own, it would have been difficult to keep up the momentum after the bootcamp. In fact, I saw myself slip a little, “Ah, not in the mood to go out…” But seeing my wings go at it made me want to do so, too. It’s been three months now and I’ve gone mostly every weekend since then. Tips if you’re thinking about taking the bootcamp: - Open as many sets as possible! Getting feedback from RPQ is invaluable. - Record yourself during your sets. This is something I wish I had done. As tired as you are, write down quick notes about how the day went. There’s so much action in a small amount of time, it’s easy to forget all the sets and lessons learned. - Take the bootcamp with fresh eyes. In the field, listen and do everything RPQ says even if you disagree with it. Later during the debrief you can offer alternate points of view. This will save you valuable time. The clock is always ticking. - Write your post-bootcamp FR as soon as possible! It’s easy to forget key details as time goes on. - Think about your sticking points and prepare lots of questions before attending. This is the time to ask. - I wish I had taken the bootcamp earlier! Ideally within the first few months of coming to Korea. Simply because I would have gone out way more often, instead of relying on Tinder. I feel such a sense of relief. Taking action and going out lifted my burden of, “Man, when am I going to start approaching girls?” I go out now, often alone, and don’t need to rely on dating apps. Instead of working on a small set of girls online, I can now play in the massive playground called Seoul.
