The Surreal Life

Ok things are getting weird. The last two workshops I've taught, there are all these guys at the bars we go to that are in the community. Repeatedly they come up and ask "Are you socialhitchhiker? I've read your blog!" This is a weird thing for me. I don't flatter myself that I am that good, that people should be recognizing me when i go places. I started off just like anyone else looking to improve my life a bit and found some amazing ways to change my life for the better. To be recognized for something like this is a surreal experience.

Now I'm not saying my ego doesn't relish every time someone knows me, I definitely have that overconfident/arrogant side to myself; it is just odd. However for those of you who have met me in real life, thanks for the kind words. I really do appreciate it. I don't know that I deserve it, but thank you. For those of you I have blown off when I met you, realize I am usually with clients in a workshop and I have to give 100% of my attention to them. It is nothing personal, and there is nothing more than I would like, than to sit down and chat.

So overall I want to thank everyone who is reading this blog. I really appreciate it and it definitely is good for my ego, or maybe too good. Thank you for reading though, I really appreciate all of your comments and support.

I think is well deserved. When I discovered Juggler's Method, I thought it was amazing to have a fresh look and see seduction as something to really have fun, even with a humanistic side. Unfortunately the "structure" of his method on that time was not so explicit, so I tried to organize the whole thing to better understand it (what can I say, I'm an engineer...). I believe your contribution is to put Juggler's thoughts in a form that IMO is coherent and easy to understand. And the fact that you are having success with it and willing to help other guys it's inspiring. don't worry if you start to act arrogant; we can always put you in your place... :)

Man, I know exactly what you mean.

Just today I went up to two guys and was like, "ARE YOU SOCIAL HITCHHIKER??" One of them said "why the hell did you tackle me you freak?" while the other said "no but I've read his blog!"

Thank you for doing this blog.
I look weekly at your blogs, and mostly find
something interesting to think about.
Often I try it out myself, really interesting.
Once I had an overview of all the methods and stuff,
it just takes me small steps forward thinking
and trying about a specific post of your blog.

So keep doing your blog!

Thank you for blogging.
Please continue to do so.
I look at it on a regualr basis, because
I always find some interesting thought.
Once I learned most of the social basics, it's
useful and funny to concentrate on a specific item
of your blog and often I try it out myself.

One item I did not find yet is
how to end a relationship without
leaving the girl too unhappy.
May be you can share a thought on this?

SexyIntent: ROFLOL, you are a funny guy...

Stefan i don't think women are wired to take breaking up well. Most of the time neither are guys. It just sucks, so be as gentle as you can. The question i ask is: did i leave them better off than when i found them? Did I treat them well while we were together? If so then, i've done all that i can do. They are going to be angry and upset no matter how i break things off. I just try to be gentle.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Hey SHH, I was one of those guys that met you on the workshop and high5 you about the blog. It's a piece of work, and really helps explain the Juggler Method IMO in more depth than in the book. I think Wayne, needs to let you release your own e-book on Charisma Arts or add contributions to his e-book - so many of his students would benefit. Anyway, hope to see you in the field again, R.
