Osaka Bootcamp Field Report June 27-29

DAY 1

 

 

The bootcamp began at 7pm on Friday night, but I got to the meet location (Outback Steakhouse) at around 9:15. The coaches reluctantly agreed to let me start late.

 

When I got there I ordered some food and met the other bootcamp trainees, Apollo and Mr. Right. RedpoleQ asked me a series of questions that I think the others had already answered. What was my ideal life like? What was my ideal woman like? What did I hope to get out of the bootcamp? How would I know in six months whether or not it had been a success?

 

After that we discussed differences in male and female psychology. Men are more preoccupied with reproduction while women are more preoccupied with survival, RedpoleQ said. For this reason, attractive men demonstrate that they are not only safe, but willing and able to protect. We also learned what causes women to feel the emotional complex they identify as attraction. And we learned when and how to convey to a woman that we were interested in her. Armed with those insights and a printed list of routines, we headed to Pure in Namba.

 

On the train, we learned about wing game and how to bring your wing into the set. Talk up wing, invite him in, identify your target.

 

PURE

 

Having started late, I hadn't had a chance to go over the routines beforehand so I stayed outside with DaVinci and went over some of the material while the others went in.

 

When we got in I opened a set near the bar. There were two women, who turned out to be sisters. I busted out the 'Takoyaki' on 'em, then moved into some bullshit cold reads. I think my delivery was pretty rotten though and on top of that I stopped talking for a considerable period. The target started drifting away and then this guy joined them, he had apparently met them earlier that night. Anyway, I shifted from the younger sister, who was talking to the other guy a lot and focused on the older one, who was more responsive. The coaches told me to move her across the room to a place where I could lock in, since the bartender didn't want me leaning against the bar (he didn't mind the women doing it though). My initial attempt failed, probably due to weak kino, but with further prodding I firmly placed my hand on her lower back and led her to another wall - ostensibly to look at a poster - then locked in there and maintained kino. She kept looking around for her sister and not facing me with her body. Don't remember what happened after that, but the coaches ejected me pretty soon after and I moved on to the next set.

 

It was a two set propped against a wall so I moved to the side of them to lock in against the same wall and brought one of them around to face me while standing next to the other. The one I was bringing around didn't come all the way, and when I started talking more to the target, who I was standing next to, she drifted back. I think one of the coaches came in and engaged her though. Talked to the target for quite a bit...attraction material was iffy, as was qualification. Could only think of the 'Can you cook?' bit. RedpoleQ later told me to look at the routine sheet if I got stuck. She said she could make omrice. What a surprise! I acted like I was big on omrice and started talking about ketchup and shit haha. She was tall and quite cute. A cosmetology student if I remember right. Maintained kino on her for the whole conversation although it felt a little odd at times since I rarely moved my hand. RedpoleQ later advised me to switch it up every so often. After qualification I got ejected from that one as well and on to another close by.

 

Two little short ones in a corner looking mean. I open them asking what time it gets busy. One of them starts smiling, the other continues to look mean. I talk to the mean one a bit - I think I ask her if she's a dancer and it turns out she is. I manage to get her to do a little dance show for me. All the while she is still looking mean. Someone comes in and whisks her away and I'm left with the friendly one, who is avoiding my kino by trying to stand on a different level. I get her doing a dance routine as well, which brings her down to my level where I can do kino without reaching up or fondling her calves. Don't remember much about that set...except she also makes omrice, has been dancing since she was five and is really quite good. A pro teacher actually. Eject, next.

 

Four set sitting on stools. I think someone else approached and brought me in to talk to one of the girls on the end. She is cold as Canada and keeps telling me to talk to her friend since her friend speaks English and Spanish. Her English is quite good though and I keep stacking...I should say fluffing. I try to maintain kino on her back and she turns her torso to squeeze my hand between her back and the wall. A real charmer. Eventually the lot of them get up and go somewhere. I am then instructed to go into the little caves by the dancefloor and open any sets i see in there.

 

There are two girls in one of the caves and I dive in like I know them. Mr. Right is on my tail and we are both kinoing our targets and talking over their protests. DaVinci makes a move to join us but the girls are yelling the broken English equivalent of 'get out!!' I found them quite receptive considering. We asked them how they knew each other etc. My target was more boisterous, but Mr. Right's seemed to be less receptive. Eventually they got up, pushed past us and went outside. DaVinci came in and debriefed us.

 

I went near the lockers with DaVinci where we saw a lone girl by the cigarette machine. I approach her with immediate kino and she gives me the evil eye. I continue, talking some garbage, and she starts walking away. I'm emotionally exhausted by now and am glad to see her go. DaVinci yells, "go! go! go!" I yell back, "she's gone!!" He tries to explain to me that her walking away doesn't mean the interaction is over. She may be redeemable. At the time I don't really want to hear it, but later after we have left the club to seek greener pastures, I see the same girl walk by while I'm looking over my routine sheet. She asks me what it is, at which point I give her a bullshit palm read by way of explanation. I botch it and she leaves, but the point is, the man was right. It wasn't over.

 

ONZIEME

 

We enter Onzieme around 2ish I think. The chronology of the night is lost to me now, but I remember opening this set near the entrance where the girl kept commenting on my touching her (which I ignored) and her guy friend kept trying to get in the way. I think RedpoleQ handled him...maybe...I wasn't paying attention. She was giggly and happy looking. Don't remember running any solid attraction material. Ran the usual cooking question. Said she couldn't cook. Don't even remember if they left of if we ejected.

 

Anyway, the next set was a few feet away. Two set standing by a table. I approach and bring in Mr. Right. We move them a little way down so we can lock in. My girl is wearing a shirt that looks like a doily. I compliment her on her style. She is pretty warm at first I think, but cools down as I escalate the kino. Walks away with the friend. Should have tried harder to keep her engaged.

 

Two set sitting near the bar, backs against wall, table next to them. Mr. Right goes in, I join. The girl I'm talking to seems very socially awkward. Shy would be a grand understatement. I put my hand on her back and she complains that it's hot. It really is stinking hot. I ask her what's good about her other than her looks (which aren't good either) and she says, "nothing." I ask her if she can cook and she says, "wakaranai." On it goes for a while and I eject so as not to waste any more of my precious life with this. I run into RedpoleQ who demands to know why I'm not talking to her anymore. I say I would rather drink hemlock. He says they're out of hemlock and I have to go back in (not in those words).I go. Put my hand on her arm again. She moves it. Put it on her back. She tells me to go away. I don't remember what I was saying at this point, but I stuck with it. That was the only set I regretted for the whole bootcamp. I felt I may have added, even if only a little, to the miseries of an already emotionally fragile person. And it was pretty painful for me too.

 

I approach a two set who are gazing out on the dancefloor. These ladies do not look happy when I touch them. They engage me with pure hostility. I eject and am sent back in. I try again. They close ranks and box me out. I am left circling like a buzzard. They continue to ignore me and eventually move away. RedpoleQ dives in with the aggressive kino. They match his aggression. He presses on. They look increasingly pissed. He presses on. They move away. He presses on. It's hard to watch, but I watch anyway. Finally, they walk off somewhere. A study in perseverence that was.

 

Almost immediately a two set walks by. I stop them and begin stacking. The one at the front is handled by someone I think. Or goes off somewhere. The other stays with me. This is my best kino of the night. On the coaches' advice I move her a little and lock in against a kind of bannister thing they have around the dancefloor. I'm comfortable with this girl and we talk quite a bit. I attract, qualify (weakly) and escalate the kino to the point where she is standing between my legs with my arm around her, pressing her against me. She seems comfortable. "Did you qualify her?" a voice says .

"Yeah."

"So what's good about her?"

"Bla bla bla", I say.

"And yasashii!" she pipes up.

Eject.

 

Lone girl standing by the dancefloor. I approach and talk to her a little. She's shy about the kino. Doesn't seem to mind talking though. I have the feeling she wants to stay, but don't know how to keep her there. Eventually she walks onto the dancefloor to find her friend.

 

Last set of the night. Me and DaVinci scouting the outskirts of the V.I.P. We see two fine specimens coming toward us. Ok a fine specimen and her friend. I instantly start kinoing them and say something or other. Then into how they know each other. They are kohai and senpai from nursing school. The senpai is very slim, but beautiful and well dressed. I tell her my mother is a nurse and we move to a nearby wall so I can lock in. She doesn't resist the kino, but when my material runs dry she sighs and I feel the end draw near. I think they headed off to the washroom. DaVinci says he thinks he blew it out, but I didn't really have her.

 

I am relieved to be done with it and dread going back out the next day. We head out to digmeout cafe for a sleepy-headed debriefing. Damned if I can remember what happened there. I know I wanted to improve my attraction and qualification because skill in those areas is the difference between making friends and picking up women. It's also the basis for everything else that follows.

 

Will post day 2 as soon as I'm done.

DAY 1

 

 

The bootcamp began at 7pm on Friday night, but i got the new bathmate xtreme to the meet location (Outback Steakhouse) at around 9:15. The coaches reluctantly agreed to let me start late.

 

When I got there I ordered some food and met the other bootcamp trainees, Apollo and Mr. Right. RedpoleQ asked me a series of questions that I think the others had already answered. What was my ideal life like? What was my ideal woman like? What did I hope to get out of the bootcamp? How would I know in six months whether or not it had been a success?

 

That's an eventful day 1 you had there bro. Where can I read about day 2?
