Adventures in Euro-Chode City

Sinn (paraphrased): “There’s a certain breed of guys that only exists in Europe… the Euro-Chodes”. (Euro-Chodius Maximus, often spotted near meat-markets or the local pub dressed in a stripe shirt, tight pants and ugly trainers. Known for their lame comments and not getting laid)

So I was in London last weekend to hang out with Sinn and the local London boys and catch Sinn’s day game, breakthrough comfort and same night lays seminar. First of all, all three seminars kicked some major ass. It was the first time I attended the BTC and SNL seminars, an even at my level I learned a lot. Even if I might have been introduced to the concepts earlier (and to a large extent already was using them in my game) hearing them presented in a structured fashion and straight from the source who invented a lot of this is clearly valuable.

On the subject of Sinn, with all the experience he’s got under his belt (pun intended) he’s still younger than you’d think - but he’s also a lot smarter than you think. Sitting in on his seminars you get hit by a constant stream of pure of gold, but also when you just chill out with the dude you’ll see he’s a lot smarter than you first might give him credit for (and is there a book out there you haven’t read bro?!). He’s like a mad genius and I’m sure that if he wouldn’t have been a “guru” in this, he would have been it in some other genre (like dark humor, speed reading or gangstah rap). It was a lot of fun winging with him; but even more fun just chilling out, cracking jokes and having a good time.

A funny little thing happened to me while we were out the first night… To make a long story short, I pulled a girl who thought I was her blind-date (lol) back to my hotel. It all started with Mr M introducing me as Zack for some reason and the girl going “So are you my blind date?”. That was all I needed to get into character. I kept it up for a good half-an-hour or something until I realized that this girl is pretty hot and I wanted to SNL her. So I told her I wasn’t her blind-date (I guess she kind of figured at this point because she kept asking me about “the texts I wrote earlier” haha), she got a bit pissed off and went away to find this Zack dude. After a while she came back to our table, told me how much of a chode the real Zack was and how she’d rather spend the night with me… Game, set and match.

From there it was easy pickings, until when I was trying to pull her to my hotel and we walked around trying to find a cab for like 15 minutes outside the club… and at the same time her friend (probably the one who set her up with the blind-date) kept calling her like crazy wondering if she was alright and trying to talk her into coming to her place instead of mine (no, not for a threesome you fool, she was trying to cock-block!!!). First of all, what the fuck is up with the lack of night-time cabs in London? It’s super hard to get a licensed taxi when the club closes, so you have to get some dodgy black cab instead, and haggle about the price because the fuckers over-charge like crazy… so you are standing there in the awesome London weather with a girl ready to go and trying to a haggle a decent price with some shady cab driver… not the ideal situation. On top of that, as I mentioned, her friend kept calling her which is a pain too. A tip I got from Sinn when I talked to him about it: Just turn her cell off. Sometimes the easiest solution is the best one…

I also had a 1on1 on Saturday and Sunday night. The guy had two things that I love to see in students: motivation and passion. He was highly motivated to get this aspect of life sorted out (but also generally a person with lots of motivation to do things which is always a good trait) and an ability to display passion which is going to be incredibly valuable in his comfort game. In my book, if you were allowed to only do one thing in comfort, displaying passion for something is by far the most important thing.

Again, I had a blast in London. Shout out to AFC Adam, Sheriff, Mr. M and the Entourage Boys - you guys rokk.

Vegas Update: If you guys want to find me and Sinn in Vegas at the Super Conference, look for us (being absolutely wasted) at the Black Jack tables. My strategy? Hit on 15 through 20, double sixes and split tens. Here’s a video of my last Black Jack session:
