I’ve been delinquent with the updates as not only have I been instructing on a weekend bootcamp, including instruction on Saturday until the wee wee hours of the morning (we aren’t kidding when we say we put our clients first), but I’ve also been visiting my little sister who lives here in the Big Apple.
I just spent a very pleasant evening with her and her friends watching the New York Philharmonic and Lang Lang (the 26 yo. Chinese genius pianist) rock it on the Lawn in Central Park for a couple of hours, finishing everything off after the encore with a spectacular fireworks show! At first, New York kind of weighs on you with the constant smell of garbage on the sidewalks, the overpoweringly tall buildings casting long shadows over the narrow streets, the wave after wave of fast-walking pedestrians battling it out for space on the sidewalks with construction sites, dogs, and hotdog vendors. But after a while, you get used to all that (again), and your senses are dulled to those distractions, enabling you to take in the many many things that make New York a world-class city like no other. Of course, it helps if you’re listening to a live performance by Lang Lang and the NY Philharmonic while lying on the grass sipping wine by candlelight, surrounded by hundred year old trees.
But before I get completely distracted by reminiscences of delightful evenings in New York, let me get to my original point.
This weekend was my first time actually going out on the town with Nick Sparks. And I do have to say, he lives up to the hype. Out of all the PUAs and gurus I’ve ever met in person or seen on any product, Nick surpasses them all with his quick wit, infectious humor, and amazingly feel good vibe. I’m not kidding. I have never before witnessed such frame control via humor and wit. How do you make a girl scowl, laugh, punch you, hug you, and kiss you, all within the first minute of meeting? Ask Nick Sparks.
Even I learned a thing or two while watching him attract girls left and right with effortless ease. Any client who signs up with him will get far more than his money’s worth. Check him out here: http://www.thesocialman.com/people/nick.php
And then of course, I had the greatly cherished opportunity to once again learn from the man who started me on this whole journey, the doyen of The Social Man, the leader who manages such crazy personalities as myself, Nick, Stephen Nash, DJ, and many many others. And the man who has seen it all.
We often talk on skype from opposite sides of the globe. But we rarely have the chance to go out together. So this was a rare joy to see just how completely versatile this man can be, perhaps with the most well-rounded, balanced game of them all. He can surpass you on your routine stacks and canned material. But he prefers to go “natural,” in the moment, in the flow. He can dominate on the NYC sidewalks during the day or in the loudest, most intense clubs in the world at night, going indirect or direct, pumping buying temperature through playful teasing and push-pull, and then shifting instantaneously into a deep emotional connection with a hot girl while talking with her about particle physics (no, really; I saw this happen on Friday night!). I also had the pleasure of watching Christian pull a tall cutie in Kiss and Fly, one of the hottest clubs in New York, onto the dance floor and make out with her after ten minutes of meeting. If you don’t yet know who Christian Hudson is, … where in the world have you been? Check him out here: http://www.thesocialman.com/people/christian.php
You improve when you hang out with other guys who are just as good, if not better, than you. Iron sharpens iron.
I think it would be very dangerous if all three of us actually lived in the same city.
Lots of great updates coming soon…
Happy playin’, The Asian Rake.
