Bravo for BRAVO: How I met a legend.

[WiSH]

Most of you don't know who I am... so let's start with some back story, that always gives me clarity. If you want to jump straight to how I met Bravo earlier today, as in 9 hours ago. Jump to "CAUGHT UP, THANKS."

I was engaged when I was just about to turn 20, I had a girl I cared about, and one day it shattered. We've all heard this story, I know I have. I'm the type of guy whose passionate about the people in my life, and as I was laying in a pool of my own blood from cuts so deep that to this day I can no longer feel sensations in my left palm---- I thought to myself, how the fuck did this happen?

Years passed, my confidence in myself slowly regained and I became my old, joyful and playful self.... or so it seemed. I was following my dreams and making headway in my career, but my experience with women was poor. 5 years had passed since that incident and as I was working in LA in retail I randomly met a tall-freakishly thin man with a weird necklace by the name of Mystery. His name resonated with me mostly because I had heard of him and a book called The Game that was best seller at the time. I talked with him for 3 mins and I was captivated by his speech and the energy that seemed to glow around him. I tell him I heard about the book and didn't know much about it. He asked me to read and pick it up--- that it was a good read.

I nervously pace in a bookstore, eying The Game-- a really gorgeous and tall Asian woman shows me. I play it cool and say I'm doing research for a production company.... bullshit answer, she knows it. Did I really become this sleazy asshole who buys into this shit? Fuck it. I do it.

Months pass and I read passages, then stop, read then stop. Read. Stop. Is this real, is this possible?

More months pass. I hadn't had sex in almost three years. I'm back home for my sister's wedding. I bring the book with me. I stay up all night and read 70 pages of it. "I can do this." I know a girl I've wanted to fuck for forever. 1. DHV 2.Isolate 3. I should be fucking by no time. I get her alone, its late at night in a car. We've been talkin for two hours in a car in an empty parking lot. She talks about her ex boyfriend the entire night. Fuck. I put my hand on her leg, sorta near her crotch, I start rubbing--- she doesn't mind, 5 mins later tryin' to escalate, go for the kiss. Cheek turn. Fuck. So close. Not even there.

Back in LA. Defeated. I buy Rules of The Game. A little more push and pull whether or not I should apply it. More reading the forums at Style Life. Who's this Bravo guy? Seems like an asshole, but shit do people respond. He's got a military background I like that.

I turn 25. I've tried doing things the right way. Girls don't want a "nice" guy. Fuck it. Let's just do this shit. 3 weeks in I shoot an email to Bravo: "I was hoping to take you out for lunch and pick your brain."


-"CAUGHT UP THANKS!"-
It's 5pm, I'm just getting off of work in West Hollywood and I'm freezing, (I'm thinking) "Fuck he'll see me shivering and think I'm nervous as shit--- c'mon asshole, just be yourself, you're a confident dude who's chill, in control--- you know how to handle conversations, you do this shit with major studios, get over it."

I'm walking out of the Apple store, he spots me, I do the bro hug/handshake. He's smilin'---- we walk 3 feet out, he's already on it, talking Game. Saying words like DHV, iOi, and Kino. I've never heard another human being utter these words, its like hearing your parents say curse words for the first time. I'm shivering as we walk. Shit its cold. What the fuck is Apple's problem, do they really have to keep that fucking air-conditioning on full blast? Fuck.

Straight to the point, "What do you hope to accomplish?",
-"I was thinkin we could grab some food, chill, and I could pick your brain" (I'm hope this dude doesn't think I came soley for advice--- he seems like someone I genuinely want to know)
I tell him the basics. 2 girls I've fucked, 5 total I've kissed and almost 3 years deep without pussy. He's heard it before, unphased. I don't feel like a complete idiot.

We grab some sushi and a beer, its mad chill, he doesn't drink much, I don't feel awkward. I've never had a drop in my life. I've finally relaxed. He gets me. He doesn't like crutches, neither do I. I pretend I didn't know that (I've seen it on his YouTube vids).

We talk about routines and escalating. I told him my latest escapades, a handful of numbers from a friends party this past weekend. "Did you meet your goal?"---- I get it. I didn't fuck the girl. That's the goal. He smiles. He's nonstop. Time is standing still at this point, I'm absorbing and absorbing.

Finally we sit down next to one of the kiosks. He's talking pretty loud but doesn't care, I'm subconsciously thinking he's trying to get the attention of one of the clerks sitting in a chair. She can absolutely hear us. She's cute, but not my type, her 10 years ago before she got married at 18 woulda been a different story. A mother of 2. I respect that. He's putting practice into motion. Shits on. Indirect opener, ignores, comes back straight into a routine that mindfucks the shit outta you--- all while doing side commentary to me. Throws me into the conversation, somehow we convince her we've known each other for years, referring the names of friends I have no fucking clue about. He knows her responses. I can't tell if I should excuse myself so he can seal the deal. He senses it. He's proved his point. We excuse ourselves and walk towards the parking lot that overlooks the city.

We finish up talking and he tells me one last thing before another bro handshake chest bump. "There's only two types of girls that I exist in my reality." I look at him confusedly. "There's no HB7 or HB8's, there's only girls I want to fuck and those I don't. End of story." Cue that smile.

My only fear is that this man is going to get bored of sex and realize there's only so many ways you can fuck a girl or two.


What I learned...
-I learned this guy is legitimate as the air you breathe.
-It is simply just too easy for him.
-He's not all about money, but has a passion for people and a brotherhood. He's been there.
-It's not about being nice. It's whether you lead people into your reality. Make no apologies for yourself.
-Master the basics. You're not the shit yet. Do the missions, get the support from the forums, practice, its only an hour at the most, out of your day. Wipe out fear. There is only you and the goal.
-Keep those condoms ready.
-I made a genuine friend today, and he wasn't who or what I expected. Beyond stoked to meet a legend.


*I'm looking forward to meeting more of you LAers. We're officially brothers now. Thick and thin.

Welcome man great to have you aboard..

sad story but at least you have seen now what is possible. There is only going forward from here.

You are in a fortunate position. You are new to the game and are a part of a small community where we are all out to help each other grow.

Resist the urge to indulge in information overload. Take it one step at a time, small chunk what you need, set regular goals for yourself and listen to Bravo's advice. The man mastered this shit in less then a year, that's on par with Style and very rare with "this thing of ours"

Good luck man,

-Poly

Hey brother

It was great meeting ya, and glad to have another (cool) guy into this thing of ours.

you played it smart on emailing me, usually guys who hit me up just try and take and dont offer any value in return. JUST by the way you played that and how chill you were with me...have a feeling you are going to get pretty good at this shit.

Talk soon

[WiSH]

Poly,

Thanks for the feedback and the welcome, I'm really stoked and excited to be apart of this. It's funny you mentioned taking it one step at a time, Bravo did too. Great minds think alike! You out in LA?


Bravo,

Always a pleasure and an inspiration.

I'm back to editing so I can have an awesome day of sarging tomorrow. Might F-close this chick who's gotten an awesome 2nd impression of me (we had coffee last week and now she wants a massage) tomorrow. Details soon.

[WiSH]

Poly,

Just saw you were in Australia---- which just means its an official open invitation to visit LA.

[KingOfAces]

i love hearing stories of pua's helping others. so much bullshit out there, thanks to all the real deal guys who are legit and who have helped me on my journey. i hope to be able to return the favor and help others the same way...

[poly]

Poly,

Just saw you were in Australia---- which just means its an official open invitation to visit LA.

Haha I plan on coming back in 2012.

Was just over in LA in August. Was in your same position and got to hang with Bravo. So his words are still ingrained in my head as well. Invaluable advice.

Cant wait to come back, had such a blast the first time and met so many cool people from this forum.

Open invitation to Australia also.

Take it easy man.

[WiSH]

Haha. Thanks bro. I'm gonna take you up on that offer someday soon.
