Review of PUA Speer
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2008 2:37 am2 Weekends ago I got together with Speer from phaseshift for a 1 on 1. I never really heard anything about Speer except for quickly browsing his website, however with his quick response of an e-mail I sent him, I decided he would be reliable for a 1 on 1.
Speer arrived up in Dallas and I 1st met up with him over in Uptown. He dressed like a rockstar and showed great confidence just with walking. As soon as I saw him I felt inferior. He had a welcoming smile as we shook hands. As soon as we started walking and talking towards my car I was quick to ask him as much I could about his job and what he did and what our bootcamp would be like...
As we were in my car traveling back to my apartment he started telling me about a lot of stories and the training that he has done and some of the different movie sets he has been on and the girls he's dated. His stories were fascinating and he told them so well. Almost the entire time I was listening to them I was either laughing or hardly paying attention to the road because I was so into his stories. He was very easy to talk to (and listen to) and it seemed like he was just an old friend in town. He made me seem equal to him right from the start even though he is a straight out baller.
We got back to my apartment after a 20 minute drive and we started going over gaming and the model he uses. We studied gaming for about 5 or 6 hours until it started getting late. Afterward, he went back to his place and I stayed at mine and I got ready to go out that night. I briefly reviewed all the stuff we just went over. I ended up traveling over to Uptown to meet up with him and once again he was dressed like a rockstar with all the confidence in the world displayed on his face and in the way he walked and stood.
Speer and I ended up crossing the street away from the bars to work on body language so he could fill me in on the importance of it and how to use body language correctly. It took me incredibly long to learn how to correctly do it. For some reason I couldn't get it down. I was getting rattled and even before I did any approaches I got AA! Wtf!? This isn't like me, but when you're in a scenario about to game girls with an incredible PUA, you get nervous thinking you're going to mess up. This is where I really got to appreciate Speer and really value him as a teacher and as a friend... Even though I was screwing up over and over and not getting it right he was still there saying, "Hey, its fine. Loosen up. Stop being so tense. You got this. C'mon man". He stood there and took my AA and still worked with me even though it must have been incredibly frustrating for him. He finally said, "Alright, we need to break this. Let's go".
We walked a quarter of a block and a 3 set was walking our way. "Open them", he said with a calm voice. I opened them with a canned opener he gave me. The set hooked immediately, and even though my body language was terrible, the girls were into this opener. I didn't even really know what to say after the girls replied to the opener I just kind of talked and they did the same and one chick, a HB6, started DLVing herself and actually started dancing right in front of me asking me if I wanted to see her do the robot...
Anyways, the set left after a couple of minutes and went on their way to wherever they were originally going. Speer looked at me with a smile and said, "You should have number closed. They were into you". I had terrible body language and completely ignored what Speer was saying to me over and over about how to correctly use body language and he still sat there with a smile. Shortly after he asked, "Was that so bad? You feel a little better now?" And I did. I normally never get that bad of AA...
So we finally hit the streets, working on my sticking points - body language and opening and cutting threads. I opened a 2 set (2 HB7s) and they walked off after only talking for a couple minutes. I opened another 2 set (2 HB9s) and then I excused myself. Speer calmly kept telling me, you're doing better, but you need to number close...
The next venue we went to was a bar I was actually semi-familiar with. It's a bar I've actually been to before. When we walked in there was a bunch of commotion over in this one corner. I ended up finding out from a random girl that was kinoing me like crazy that it was a bachlorette party. I opened one blond girl, a HB8, and she turned to me quickly before I could even finish saying my canned opener and she goes, "Oh! Give me a massage!" What?! "Woah, take me out to dinner first geez. You move too quickly for me". She laughed and then her HB8 brunette friend overheard and started laughing as she turned and opened me. She looked at me with excited eyes and says, "Can I kiss you?" (No Bullsh*t). "I'm sorry?" The brunette friend then told me that all the girls had picked a card from a deck of cards and on the card had a mission they had to complete. (All the missions were pretty sexual) I ended up letting the brunette friend kiss me on the cheek and take a picture of it, and I made the blond HB8 girl qualify herself in order to get me to give her a massage. She did so and I ended up giving her a very quick and light massage. I ended up number closing her rather easily and then Speer and I left and went on in the night. My first number close of the night was simple and fun!
Speer and I took off and went bar hopping to probably 7 different bars that night. Long story short, I ended up having a dallas cowboy cheerleader grind all over me with 2 of her friends trying to DHV to me while she did that, I number closed 6 girls, and ended up learning a lot and got a lot better with my body language, and had a great night followed up by a good afternoon the following day...
The day after Speer wanted to do day game with me at the mall. When we arrived at around 3 I was once again getting butterflies but felt a little better in the mall. He told me that he wasn't going to tell me what girls to open and that I got to choose which ones to open and that there were no canned openers for today. None! That it was me doing me own thing... I ended up number closing 4 girls!
After the mall Speer and I rolled back to where he was staying and he reviewed me on my sticking points and what I needed to work on and asked if there was anything else I needed to ask him. I told him that if I did I'd give him a call. He told me to call him for sure and that he is always available. (Even though it's only been 2 weeks, every time I've texted him, he has been quick to respond... like within the minute of me having sent the text - everytime!)
This weekend was filled with knowledge, fun, AA, girls, and a great experience. Speer always made me feel equivalent to his level and never got frustrated or upset with what I was doing. He was only encouraging and helpful. He was an incredible instructor and certainly knew what he was doing and what he was talking about. The guy knows his stuff and was a blast just to hang out with.
Was the bootcamp worth it? I would definitely do it again!... and I just might.
