Hi seddit, I´m a noob who went yesterday to a seduction workshop in Madrid. It was ridiculously overpriced, but also totally blew my mind. So read on.

I´ve always been a very timid person with low social skills. Now, living in Spain, where my language skills are kind of intermediate, makes me even more shy. Now I did approach some girls on the street in my life, but it always felt as much fun as going to the dentist without using anesthesia. Despite having a few lays from approaching, I was still depressed and eventually resorted to porn and feeling sorry for myself.

Few days ago I googled this workshop in the capital city and decided to go. Now, since it was in Spanish, it was a bit difficult for me even to register, but fuck, I made it. We, 5 guys and 2 instructors met in the center and went to one of the instructor´s places. They gave as a 3 hours theoretical lecture, which consisted mostly of the insight that girls have cunts, thus they desire dicks. Now to prove that you have a dick, you need to be bold and dare to approach her. When you do that, it´s like metaphorically putting your cojones on the table, and it makes her horny. The instructor advised us to throw away all the crap about alpha, beta and the rest of the greek alphabet, instead just say whatever you feel like. ¨Just offer yourself¨. We also did some group exercises for fear dissolving and went for a dinner break. I liked how the guy took care that I understood everything, especially the pickup slang in spanish that I totally was ignorant of. The guys were also very friendly, very normal guys, no stereotypical fat nerds that I expected (never been to such a workshop before).

At midnight, we met in the central Madrid square(Sol) for the real action. First we had to just smile at passing chicks and say ¨hi¨. I never did this before! And I knew this kind of exercise, but was too fearful and lazy to do it by myself. Now, having paid a ridiculous sum for this, and having social pressure, I actually did it. The anxiety gradually switched to a kind of pumped up feeling. The instructor also did a very nice presentation on a passing chick.

Next thing, we had to stop chicks, and say ¨excuse me, I just want to say that I like X about you¨. I managed to stop 2 sets, and both vert friendly. Great vibes.

Next, we went to a bar. Got drinks, and the instructor told us to open girls by toasting (not sure about this word, it´s when you do the ¨chin chin¨?) and then ¨hi, my name is X, what is yours, what youre doing here¨, etc. It was a bit awkward for me, I´m usually totally lost in bars. And this was high energy place, carnaval night in Madrid... so I opened few sets, some girls, mostly Americans, totally ignored me, but the third set of girls that I opened boldly(¨let me plant another kiss on your neck¨, cause her neck had these lipstick hearts) just pulled me in, 2 girls started to kiss me on the cheeks and draw little hearts. I took the number of the greek girl, but eventually her spanish friend was feeling left out and pulled her friend outside. I also opened an incredibly cute american girl, but when I was trying to get her number, her ugly friend kind of sensed it with her back, turned around and told me ¨excuse me, we´re all together and not giving any phone numbers¨. It was like an illustration for a rooshv or roissy blog, where they´re dissing the american cockblocking motherhens, and I´ve really seen it in front of my eyes. Wow! I told the cockblock to stop being so rude, that maybe some more time in Europe would help her to learn some manners, and left the set. All this bar bootcamp was like a science fiction movie for me. The tall instructor stood in the middle, and set us, the students, into sets. It´s amazing what you can get away with. I felt my mind being blown. I have a very low self esteem, but now I¨ve experienced opening many chicks, being rejected by some and laughing it off, but most importantly some girls reacting really great and being into me. It was a bit like ¨wow, I know kung fu¨ moment from The Matrix.

So we did another bar, I talked to some more girls, guys from the bootcamp also got a phone or two each and we left on a high note.

The next day, I woke up and went to a big park, happy with my new knowledge. Approached about 10 sets of girls, and it feels a bit like a new drug. I cannot erase the fucking smile from my face knowing that I can approach any girl, and that if she rejects me it´s nothing.

So, for people who consider going to a bootcamp:

Pros: for me, 3 hours of practice were more beneficial than 100 hours of forum and books reading. Feels like the sky is the limit. And the world is actually friendly, nobody is out to get you. Also, I didn´t feel the need for my instructor actually to be good in pickup. I didn`t give a fuck about that. All I needed was for him to push me into sets, and some social pressure to do it. The guy was actually amazing in pickup, but it´s not important, at least not in a beginner´s bootcamp.

Cons: fucking expensive. Fucking ridiculously expensive.(Not that I regret a single euro spent on this, but still). If you can push yourself, just do it alone. You´re good enough. If you´re too lazy and only give yourself excuses, pay somebody to force you.
