RT: #WTF: About this weekend ... can I get a rundown?
So we reached back in the conference room to meet our wing girls. after a brief introduction by JGatz we were put into groups of 5. our wing girl was Jen. she is a jewel of a person. We started off with some improv exercises to build comfort among the group and bond with each other. It somehow including dancing (..not a big fan of dancing without music!). Anyhow, we got to know each other a lot better with a period of 15min, and headed up to the rooftop bar of the Standard Hotel. In my group was H ( a man with a stunning and mysterious personality, no wonder he is a profesional magician), T ( Intense guy, he is just so centered in the way he carries himself it draws you to be around him), B (chilled out guy who just radiates fun by his mere presence), F ( a shy person, who is funny, he still needs to accept to use his humour out in the world, but a very nice guy), Jen (our wing girl, she is just so full of life, and a really really authentic person, you feel the warmth of humanity when you meet her, no bull shit just one human interacting with another human) and then there was me, Hash ( I'm brown and I'm from India...more to come on this).As it turned out T and I were wearing the exact same shirt, though i wore a vest and he had a sports blazer on. Initially i thought this is going to awkward, wearing the same shirt in the bar, but i made my peace with that thought for a while. We took the elevator and reached the rooftop. I felt hollow inside, just imagining that I will be approaching in a few minutes now, and there is a person who will make sure i do. So we walked in found a spot, Jen started assigning sets to us, and man she changed into this army general, who knew what she was asking everyone to do, no questions, no doubts. "H, go talk to those 3 girls, B, go open the group on that table, Hash, go talk to those 2 girls sitting there...".. "Who, me?!" 'fuck, what am i gonna say' .. I walked up with my stomach trying to dig deeper in itself with fear, "Hey, I have a quick ques,.. ".. I delivered the jealous girlfriend opener, and asked for their opinion. The 2 set were asian girls, so one of them started talking to me, saying she just came here from Korea a month back, for an english course through an exchange program. 'like come on, my first set and they dont speak english,'. I anyways made small talk with them.. talking about Korea, the different foods around the world, and politely ejected. I saw Jen, who was for some reason, very glad to see me back. She had passed me, when i was talking to the set, and responded by saying that i was awesome. Both of them had very open body language, and hair play included. It made me a little happy to know, that wasn't shot at, screamed at, or anything at my approach.Jen, then pointed out another 3 set and said go talk to them, and then walked off. She doesn't even give you a second to feel AA, as she walks off, you have 2 options, either to stand there frozen in time, and look like a creep staring into oblivion or your set, or you could walk and open the set.So i walked up to the 3 set and opened them with the jealous girlfriend again, and this time i must admit felt much easier and a little more fun. i spoke to the 3 set for like 20 minutes, landing DQs, sharing stories, the conversation ended with which is your favorite star wars movie, and who loved the yoda's fight in the clone army. As i ejected from the set, i bumped into T, who had just opened a 2 set.I felt there was an awkward silence coming so, on cue, somehow my brain started talking. "Hey guys, tell me.. so both of us landed up in this bar wearing the same shirt. does it look awkward, i mean you know how girls get really upset if their friends land up in the bar wearing the same shoes, or skirt or similar dress, does the same go with the guys in the bar?" 'it was a random sequence of thought which found the right words somehow'.. ( both T and i used this as an opened through out the night, opening set saying we are having a vote out, we would both wing each other, walk into the set 45 seconds later saying 'oh come on, not you again'.. it worked pretty well)...Next, Jen again found me, and this is what she said "You are fucking glowing! Go! Dont talk to me! Go! spread this glow, its contagious" .. Wow, i loved it, the fear had now turned into an excitement, I opened a 5 set this time, 3 girls 2 guys, (my first mixed set), with the same shirt in the bar opener, i completely ignored my target. They were a group of exchange students as well, form sweden, russia,scotland, england.. so i had a 5 minute conversation with them, cracking up a few jokes, 'i was still nervous about what i was saying so i wasn't paying attention to any IOI's or the people's body language', as i ejected i found Gigantor (Stylelife Intern, man this guy is huge and so calm, but hell a lot of fun and energy to be around). He pointed out that i was owning the set. Just through my target's body language, i was getting an insane number of IOI's. 'damn i need to calm down and be present in the sets'.Next, Jen walked up, said open that 3 set in corner and walked off again. 'I hated her for doing this every time, walk up give an order and walk off' ..BTW, this is the fun part ...so i walk up to the 3 set, in the back of my mind i was still thinking which opener should i use, i didn't wanna use the jealous opener again. and before i knew it i was there.. 'damnit !' .. so i opened the set with the jealous girlfriend again, and asked for their opinion. one of them looked at me and said "Have you read 'The Game'?'.. i asked " Have YOU read The Game" .. she replied " yeah"... 'FUCK !' .. so i said i was just testing whether the openers worked or not. she asked "so where is your flare, your peacocking?" .. somehow, by the love of god my brain worked fast enough to come with, what i think became my epic line.. I replied " I am brown and I am from India, I dont need peacocking!" bham, they started laughing, and we started talking about india, and indian food and what not..! i again ejected, (with my heart pacing 200 beats/ min) .. i was high on life.Jen kept saying " you are owning the place, you are glowing, welcome to life".. Man, i was having fun. the rest of the night all of us kept opening sets, winging each other, and laughing our asses of to our experiences.This one day of conference and one night of wing girl program, gave me more confidence than i could have ever gathered on my own. (quite a learning curve huh?!!).. and then happened day 2 !!..Hell, my life is now a party.. met some awesome guys, the stylelife coaches, wing girls, steve P and last but not the least, Neil Strauss himself, ( got a few praises from him, fuck it felt good !)
