Hello, gentlemen.

It's safe to say I never truly internalized the teachings of TRP. Similar to cramming for an exam, I would "digest" as much as I could, go on dates/approach women, and hope for the best. The results were personality dissonance on or after dates/approaches, inner/outer frame built out of straw, and a mutated idea of "I'm the Prize." which did nothing but inflate my already massive ego. After dealing with this tiring struggle, I took a break and worked on myself while actually reading the contents of the sidebar. Of all that I've read so far, Utilize Push/Pull has been my favorite read so far and this field report details my first successful Push/Pull experience.

Last night I went on a date with a woman I find very attractive. I chose a venue that was dark, cozy, and intimate and we both arrived around the same time. Similar to the analogy of playing a match of table tennis in the Push/Pull article, the first 30 minutes were filled with neutral volleys of formalities ("How are you?", "What do you do for work?", blah blah blah).

45 minutes into the date, the venue started to get very crowded. I used that as my opportunity to turn up our Match by using kino. I moved my chair closer to hers so our legs touched, and rested one hand on her thigh. She's a shy person and was completely flustered, blushing hard. I pounced on that.

"You good over there?" I said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm fine! I just...sorry, you make me very nervous." she said blushing even harder.

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yeah, I have that effect on women." I took my hand off of her thigh and go back to sipping my drink.

The night continued and I noticed that a section of the more intimate part of the venue was available. I grabbed her by the hand and led her there. We settled into the section and our faces were inches from each other. I've read enough material from here to know my next move. After exchanging a few kisses, I pulled back and said "Hm... interesting." She laughed and said, "Yeah, that was." and left her hand resting on my thigh. Now... the fun begins.

At this point of the night, we've found our rhythm. Our uniqueness slowly start to come out with each volley. The Match is fun, exciting, and tantalizing. The following encounter was, for lack of a better word, batshit crazy and has driven home the idea that there is a massive difference between reading/researching and taking action in whatever you're reading/researching.

The sexual tension between us was thick. After another round of kissing, we stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like an eternity while our hands traced the other's thigh. Out of nowhere, she blindsided me with the following question: "What are you like in bed?" while staring directly into my eyes.

I'm floored. The old, BP part of me was screaming to make an excuse and end the Match. Let her win. We were out of our element! I steeled myself and pushed forward. "Hm, that's for me to know and for you to find out." without breaking eye contact with her.

She smirked and said, "Well, I hope to find out soon."

I shrugged and said, "Play your cards right and you will.

After another short pause, "Well, what are you like in bed?", I asked.

She looked at me, paused for a second or two, and said, "Hm....I like to keep it simple, nothing too crazy."

I looked at her, squinted my eyes, and after a long pause and, much to my surprise, said, "That's bullshit."

After the words left my mouth, the old, BP version cried out "Nooooo, Mr. Basic, what are you doing?! We were doing so well and you messed it up!" A part of me believed that I did mess it up. I've never called out a woman on something like this. What if I was wrong? What if I pushed too hard? I had to calm myself down while never breaking eye contact with her.

She is completely stunned. After a long pause, she removed her hand from my upper thigh, crossed her arms, and said "Ok....what makes you think I'm lying?"

Well, fuck. I did too much push I thought to myself. I couldn't think fast enough. Wait, what did that TRP field report from 5 months ago say? How did that person phrase his sentence again? What did they say about body language? I was in too deep at this point. I was in a moment that I had to carve my own path. I couldn't tell her to hold on for a second, go to the bathroom, and make a post on asktrp. This was it. This moment was what TRP did their best to prepare me for. It was time to stand on my own.

I took my hand off of her thigh, moved back on the couch, and gave her a few looks up and down. All the while, her hands are still crossed with her eyebrow raised. I move back closer to her and say, "Yeahhh, you're not fooling me. You come in here with this shy, nice girl act, but I know you like it a little rough and crazy in bed." I paused, smiled, and added, "I'm looking forward to proving I'm right."

Another long pause. At this point I am freaking out on the inside. Was it enough or did I just shoot myself in the dick? Before I can say anything else, she grabbed my face in both hands and made out with me with an intensity and passion like we weren't going to see each other again. She pulled back and said, "Wow, calling me on my bluff. That's hot."

Conclusion

I would love to say this field report ended in laying pipe, but alas due to her having to work a 12 hour shift in 6 hours and shitty logistics on my part (living in different NY Burroughs is a struggle and a half), we ended the night at the venue. I received a text this morning of how wet that encounter made her and how next time we hangout, to make sure we don't have any work obligations the next day.

My main takeaway from the night was the high I got from establishing the power dynamic using Push/Pull. The rush of adrenaline from taking that leap was amazing. To know that this is only the beginning has me amped up to see what's in store for the future.

Thanks for reading 🙏🏾
