Seeing T in-field was an experience not to be expected. He was far from the best looking guy I’ve seen (sorry T) though his style was impeccable and for a man you wouldn’t look twice at he had an uncanny power over people.
He taught me a process which really opened my eyes as to my social options and how to place any interaction into his T Method framework that seemed to churn anxiety and ordinarily mundane interactions into results.
I’ve done a variety of other programs and I’ve found that what works for other guys generally doesn’t work for me or make me totally comfortable.
Learning techniques are fine but if they can’t be put together in some kind of synergy then I don’t see much point. Really what I’m trying to say is the fact that this was a “process” gave me the security of knowing what stage of the interaction I was in and what direction I need to take it in.
One of the most memorable parts of the workshop was T pushing me to approach a group of 9 seated women outside some nightclubs in Sydney. The only catch was that they were already swept up with what appeared to be a natural ladies’ man.
My set task was to take the most impressive of the 9 away from the ladies’ man I who appeared keen on being as entertaining and as high energy as possible. I used T's three hit opener, a three step process to help me go from stranger to leader of the pack.
I managed to move into and take control of the group, leaving me at what T calls the “social hook stage”, the point where everyone is interested in chatting with you. The conversations I had with the group and the even the ladies’ man were nothing earth shattering. To be honest they were just playful banter and teasing about their night, as long as I followed the process I didn’t need to think very hard.
I moved to isolate my girl of choice away from her friends by using one of T’s body language techniques. I could get away with anything around her friends but the ladies’ man didn’t seem too happy. I was joined by T, who came in to support me and I got one of many first-hand demonstrations of the T process.
Despite already isolating my woman of choice I couldn’t help but watch how T joined the group and slipped right under the radar. He used a body language trick to maneuver himself so that he was sitting between what later turned out to be a mother and her two daughters who incidentally were on a hen’s night. He created a comfortable social vibe with the group and just before the conversation seemed to peak he told us we were leaving to “go get some food”.
To my astonishment the women followed us all the way into the most revolting McDonalds restaurants I’ve seen for a while. It was a bit of a worry that as we ordered my chips and T’s Happy Meal (sorry for mentioning it mate) the women seemed to be getting bored. They joined us at our tables and we began to do some role playing as a fun little game to kills some time and ended with phone numbers for the both of us.
All I know is that since the workshop I haven’t felt stuck in my conversations by not knowing what to do or how to keep it interesting. I guess that’s the beauty of a process, it gives you a framework which put all the information I learnt into a concise order in which to follow particularly when it comes to dealing with other male-competition.
The first two nights after the workshop I got ten girls’ numbers, 7 of which I set up second dates with. But one turned out to be married, so that didn’t go exactly as I planned.
My development didn’t stop with the workshop; T gave me a development plan to follow after the workshop to keep my learning and progress on track, it was nothing I didn’t know already but at least it kept me heading in the right direction once I went back to work and socializing.
Many thanks to T and his girlfriend Soe
