All my life I had been the shy and quiet guy, the guy that didn't try to get sexual with girls, the guy who studied hard, got a stable job, and had not a very vibrant social life. Then I chanced upon Xavier's website in the Singapore Lair and started reading up on his posts and the TDD forums in the quest for self-improvement. I knew that I had to take a plunge, that the Masterclass would open my eyes to bigger and better things, and I was right.
Upon meeting Xavier on the first day, I realised I have never met someone with such positive energy, such a powerful vibe. He taught me the theory portion of TDD in a simple, concise manner, such that I could not possibly not understand them. Moreover it is easy to talk with him too, it's impossible not to be amazed or laugh at his stories. Night game, we head to Attica, where he taught me to have fun, to open sets with the right vibe and pacing, to foreshadow properly. I also saw his sexual insinuation at work. When you see a girl walk up to him and ask if he has a condom, you know that he has the right vibe!
Second day was day game first. He taught me that it's all about macro planning, mutual agreement and foreshadowing. I crashed and burned that day but I do not blame him, I had alot of information to absorb and put alot of pressure on myself. At night, I learnt the swagger, dance floor macro planning, and of course, some of his killer dance moves! So we hit China One, I was crazy tired by then, and had alot of negative energy, but he was still very patient with me and I appreciated that. And he is definitely the undisputed king of the dance floor. He danced with a girl with the moves that he taught me, and within moments the girl was all over him!
This masterclass definitely inspired me and made me realise that I am living life as a mediocre person. There are alot of aspects that I have to improve on, and the Masterclass is the first step in the right direction.It is a process of self-discovery and I understand that it does not take one weekend to improve my inner game. Some of the things I took note of and he pointed out to me are:
Volume of voice Not dominant in daygame interactions, not creating space sometimes Pacing of openers Lack of fun vibe More spontaneous and fun statements
The debrief is this Saturday so I'm sure there's more stuff Xavier will tell me to work on. Overall I'm glad to have found the TDD community and Xavier. No more mediocre shit, I will aim towards living the life that I want!
