Women Love It! - Read What She Says...

When I went to Australia last year, I met this really cute girl named Hitomi. We hit it off and when I returned to Australia a few months later, she hung out with me and the PickUp 101 crew while we enjoyed Melbourne. I even invited her to our 2 hour intro seminar, and what was really awesome is that she actually learned something from my seminar. It actually helped her build confidence! I thought that was pretty cool, so I asked her to write about her experience to share with all of you.  Hopefully it gives you an example of a woman's perspective on meeting a guy. (English isn't her first language, so I really appreciate that she wrote so much). Enjoy!

"I had a strange experience that I went to the PickUp 101 seminar which was about attracting women with Senior Instructor Daniel Johnson. I met Daniel in Melbourne and I’m going to write my story of meeting him and what I saw at the seminar.


About Daniel, this was the second time I had met him. The first time we met was in front of the Library in Melbourne, Australia. I was studying at the time, and had just stepped out of the building to smoke. Then he appeared to talk to me, surprisingly friendly. His behavior made me think that I had known him somehow before, but of course I had not. We talked for a while. I don’t even remember what we were talking about, so it must have been insignificant stuff. At first, Daniel seemed like such a weird guy because he was so friendly to a complete stranger. And, also I usually don’t think of myself as cute or sexy. I thought maybe he didn’t have any friends in Australia, so he just wanted to talk to anybody or maybe he just loves talking crazily. But I thought he was a fun guy and I thought maybe I would see him at some point in the future. So, we exchanged our phone numbers, even though I didn’t really expect to actually meet him again.

After he left Melbourne, he sent me emails about how life was going and he mentioned that he was coming back to Melbourne so we should catch up. It was really weird also, because he wanted to keep in touch with a stranger who he met just for a few seconds. So this time was the second time I had met him.

I met him in the busy street in the city. I didn’t remember his face clearly so I almost missed him, but I could recognize him by his eyebrow piercing. He was with his friend who had just broken up with his girlfriend recently… Anyway, the three of us went to his room to talk and they mentioned what they are doing as business. Then I sort of understood why Daniel was so friendly and really good at having conversation. But I really wasn’t that interested in the business. Also I met some more of his coworkers from the U.S. Honestly, I thought “are these guys really teaching how to attract women…no way” But I said to myself I don’t even get Daniel so it is not a good idea to judge them. So, let’s sort of wait and see, and possibly something interesting would turn up. We had some drinks at night but I had trouble understanding the guys, not only because of my lack of English language skills, but also I had no idea about them and who the hell were they. But I didn’t care about it again. I’m always trying to not think too much, so I just let my mind go. Did something interesting turn up that night? Yes. I had a great time with Daniel. And I got to enjoy the beer and discover some cool bars in Brunswick Street too.

A few days later Daniel invited me to the seminar to look around. I thought it was a good chance to see something new that I didn’t know much about, and I got interested in these dating coaches. So I went there not knowing quite what to expect. There were lots of guys who were instructors and students. I was expecting the students would be sort of tacky guys and obviously having problems with women. But they appeared to be not like what I expected. They just looked like normal guys.
.
At the seminar what I strongly remember is Daniel talked about the importance of being confident and using body language. Also these were main points in the seminar.
I had never thought about what is being confident. Also I had never been very confident. Firstly I thought the idea was very simple but pretty difficult to do. Because I think Daniel said that being confident was seperate from your career, specialties or background.

Lots of people might say that somebody who has confidence is not attractive because he/she can be seen as too arrogant. I think arrogant confidence is always with careers or something. Also, I think truly nobody hates people who have confidence as long as they are not too arrogant. Extremely speaking, if there were two doctors who have exactly the same skills, one has confidence and is good at talking but another one doesn’t have confidence. Definitely the confident doctor will succeed in his job.

After the seminar I was thinking a lot about being confident. Having confidence is much more important than I thought, and I would say if you don’t have confidence in yourself, it could be that you are denying what you have been doing so far. Also I think having confidence is kind of a proof of who I am and sometimes showing people that I am sociable. Being confident is a really effective way to build relationships, not only with girls but also with anybody in a lot of situations.

During the seminar, I really liked the part of showing movies taken by a hidden camera in which Daniel picked up girls in a bar. It showed how having confidence works out well. Of course it will need lots of effort. Daniel, in the movie, was perfect at picking up girls, not only his smooth talking but he also made girls smile a lot.

Finally, in my case, this is what I learned from the seminar. First, I didn’t like to party. I was very shy and I was not talkative because I had never had confidence.
But, a few weeks after Daniel’s seminar, I had my friend’s birthday party in Melbourne and there were many people who I didn’t know. I used to not try talking with them but this time I tried a bit actively. And it went pretty well and some people tried to talk to me too. I found again if I don’t speak, people would not try to speak to me. So I was trying to make the atmosphere to attract people.

In fact, I don’t want to praise Daniel too much because I don’t know him well and I’m writing my point of view after seeing the seminar just once. However I really want to say his coaching was remarkable and the seminar was great. There is a lot of possibility to change your life from Daniel’s coaching.


(Thank you for inviting me to your seminar. I had a good time there and I learned the importance of having confidence.)

No offence but that girl is NOT cute, by any Asian standard. She is your equivalent of UG in Japan. But I am sure she has hot friends.

Anonymous,
Thanks for clearing that up for everyone reading. Maybe you can be my personal girl critic and prescreen all the girls in my life to the official Japanese standard.

... sweet!
