Day 16

Day 16 is similar to day 15 except this time around your intention is to actually follow through with the coffee. Today I had two girls say "yes". The first girl I will probably never see again. The second girl I will definitely ring again tomorrow. I know "Swingers" says that three days is "money" but I think that's crap. I'll ring her tomorrow and if she's interested in a Sunday brunch then great! If not, well hey I'll probably be meeting another thirty girls tomorrow anyway.

Day 15

Day 15 involves walking up to thirty women and asking them to coffee. However if they accept you have to decline. I only had to decline once. I thought I would really struggle with this but surprisingly we powered through. Maybe this demonic confidence thing is working after all! The big thing I noticed was voice projection. If I tried to stop a girl using normal volume, she would either ignore me or stop about 3 feet behind me. If I stopped a girl using a loud, confident voice then almost without fail she would stop right beside me.

Day 14

Today's exercise was to talk to women but repress any thought of desire. Again we broke it down into ten lots of asking the time, ten lots of asking for direction and ten lots of compliments. I'm still having some problems with the compliments but it's becoming easier. I was OK with the repression portion of the exercise.

Day 13

Things are getting stranger by the day. Today's exercise was to go into a strip club and not look at any of the women. Sounds tough but breezed right through it. Let's hope things don't get any weirder!

Day 12

Day 12 is an exercise to get the practitioner to "expand their capabilities". Personally I thought it was a little bit weird. The exercise was to eat a plateful of food that you absolutely detest. I ordered a vile concotion of salad leaves, olives, chick peas, tuna, beetroot and pumpkin. I almost threw up but powered through. What does this have to do with confidence? To be honest I don't know. Did I mention the repression phase sucks?

Day 11

Day 11 is the first day of repression. The exercise at first sounds trivially easy. Walk around a location where hot women abound. Do not look or even think about women at all. This was a pretty tough two hours...excacerbated by the fact that I slept with a girl just last night (that story another time). Repression sucks.

Day 10

Day 10 consisted of thirty approaches...with no expectation and zero emotion. Very weird vibe giving women a compliment with an absolutely flat expression. Tomorrow I start the repression phase. Sounds interesting.

Day 9

Day 9 consisted of three lots of ten approaches. The first ten were to be done projecting fear. The second ten were done projecting excitement. The third ten were done projecting desire. We could choose to ask either: the time, directions or offer a compliment. We did ten lots of asking the time, ten lots of asking directions and ten lots of compliments. All completed in good time. Met up with two other guys who are on day 2 of the program today. They seem pretty committed I think they'll go far.

Day 8

Day 8 was to approach thirty women and either: ask the time, ask for directions or offer a compliment. The critical part of the exercise was to project unbridled enthusiasm. Started off "safely" by asking for directions...it was actually a bit difficult to project excitement when they didn't know the location of the place...but I made do with "Have a great day". Then switched over to exclusively compliments because I wanted to push myself. I adopted a system with my wing of going tit-for-tat which made things easier. We absolutely mowed through the last dozen or so. Feel great.

Day 7

Day 7 was a bit more positive. Ask thirty women for the time but imagine they will respond with "Time for you to ravish me" (or something similar). What I really started noticing by the end of the day was the ability to control the pace of the interaction. First you grab her attention. Then she slows down eventually stopping completely. Then you let the tension linger in the air for awhile. Just before it starts to become awkward you fire out your opener but once again in a slow, controlled manner. No rushing. You are in control. She is the puppet and you are the puppeteer.

Day 6

Day 6 was unorthodox. Ask thirty women for directions to the post office but imagine that they are going to respond in a very negative manner (laugh at you, spit at you and so on). Made it through the day but I have a lot of negative energy swirling around. Hopefully will be flushed out tomorrow.

Day 5

Day 5 was the toughest day so far. Approach thirty women and pay each of them a compliment. By five I was struggling. By fourteen I felt like I had run a marathon. We took a break. The last half of the exercise was easier but still tough. The whole exercise took a little over two hours. Looking back on it this exercise is a great transition for those looking to switch from indirect to direct game.

Day 4

Day 4 proves to be a respite. Approach thirty women and ask them for directions. This day is a much easier one. We both agree that there's no "buzz" to the approaches. It's quite interesting to note the different dynamics in play. Some women are in a hurry to be on there way. Others are quite engaging. One interesting thing happened with the cutest girl of the day. I noticed she was giving directions very slowly and we were looking deeply into each other's eyes.

Retrospectively I think she was rooting for me to escalate things to the next level. Maybe a playful "Were you mentally undressing me just then?" to break the tension followed up by "Let's go get a coffee". Anyway I was so engaged in the exercise that all this eluded me at the time.

Tomorrow brings another day. Every post up until this one has been written in the last fifteen minutes. From now on the blog will be updated on a more real time basis.

Day 3

Days 3 is quite a leap in difficulty. Approach thirty women and ask for the time with your watch clearly on display. The woman has to be with her boyfriend. The first fifteen prove tough. It takes me an hour and I wimp out many many times. Of the three guys who started this, one has dropped out. The one remaining guy is finding it tough going as well. At the halfway point we take a break. We shoot the breeze for awhile and then get started again. After the break things go swimmingly well. We knock off the last fifteen in fifteen minutes. Wow I feel great. I ride a natural high all the way home.

Day 2

Day 2 is a more difficult endeavour. This exercise requires you to ask thirty women for the time but you have to have your own watch clearly on display. This is when all the fears begin to surface. Throughout the day I make plenty of excuses to myself as to why I do not approach certain girls. They don't have a watch on. They look like they are in a hurry. And so on. However therein lies the lesson. Think less. Approach more.

Day 2 proves to be slightly more testing but I don't have to stretch myself too much.

Day 1

Day 1 is a gentle introduction. Ask thirty strangers for the time. That's it. I coast through this exercise fairly easily. As I progress, I make some minor adjustments to the pace and volume of my speech. Not much learnt today.

Preliminary thoughts

I'm keeping this journal to record my progress through the "Demonic Confidence" program. My goal, simply stated, is to acquire the ability to approach any girl, any time, any where in any context. Why am I doing this? Perhaps this is best articulated by Marianne Williamson

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

I aim to eradicate this fear.
