AFC Adam vs Maxim magazine

Posted on 25 April 2008

It’s been a long time since I last wrote up a full field report, but I wanted to wait until I had something of actual value to write. Stories of street closes, direct game and same-night lays can be found everywhere on the web now, and as you know I like to really raise the bar. Although in this case I don’t think I was fully aware of just how high the bar was to be raised.

It all started with a call from Maxim magazine.

Reporter: Hi, is this Adam Lyons?
Adam: Yeah, it is.
Reporter: We’ve heard that you’ve been voted one of the top 3 pick up artists in the world and currently live in the UK.
Adam: Yeah I suppose I kind of have, though I plan on leaving the UK within the next few weeks.
Reporter: We’d love to interview you for Maxim and put your skills to the test. We’d like to prove that the UK has one of the best seducers in the world.
Adam: Well then how can I say no?
Reporter: Can you come to our office to complete a set of tasks to show us what you’re made of?
Adam: I’m there!

A wise man would have asked what the tasks would involve, but I’ve never been a wise man. Being the little media whore that I am, and always willing to show that unlike many other people in the community I can actually do the things I teach, off I set with a spring in my step.

I arrived at the office pretty much ready for anything- model parties, nightclubs, street approaches or alpha-male blowouts- what could they give me I hadn’t done a hundred times before?

Reporter: Hi there, nice to meet you. Okay we have 3 simple tasks for you.
Adam: Done!
Reporter: That’s what we love to hear! First we’d like you to pull a chick in a bar.
Adam: Hahaha easy.
Reporter: Then we’d like you to pull a chick off the street.
Adam: One of my specialties, no problem.
Reporter: Then we’d like you to go to an office you’ve never been to before, blag your way into the office, walk up to the hottest girl in the room in front of all of her co-workers and pull her while she’s working at her desk.
Adam: …ahem…I’m sorry, what?
Reporter: We know it’s a little too much to ask. If you can’t do it we understand.
Adam: Dude, too much to ask? Are you kidding me? No-one has ever done anything like this as far as I’m aware. This is almost impossible, I mean do I even have a reason to be there?
Reporter: No.
Adam: Can you even get me access to just chill in the room for a few minutes first?
Reporter: No.
Adam: Mate, you’re aware of just how impossible this is right?
Reporter: Look if you can’t do it, we can just find another…
Adam: Mister you really don’t know who you’re talking to. There is NO WAY I’m not going to do this, it’s an amazing challenge. I just want you to realise how bloody impossible it is before I go in there and make it happen.
Reporter: So you’ll do it?
Adam: Watch me.

And with that I headed off to the sales building for their office. Now I want you guys to realise that the bravado I showed the guy was actually just me building up my state. I needed a complete surge of confidence as this would be a one-shot challenge. No warm ups, no trial run.

We stand outside the sales floor looking into the room where there are around 50 people sitting at open desks. Approximately 6 sets of 8 desks lying around full of only two types of people. Hot babes, and alpha males talking loudly into their phones pushing sales. Fabulous.

What I needed was a way in.

The door opened and out walked Kiara. I smile and ask her if this is the sales floor. I ask her name, shake her hand, tell her goodbye, and then I open the door to the office and enter letting it shut behind me.

The game is on.

I move up to the first desk.

Adam: I’m so sorry to bother you, is Kiara here?
Desk guy: I’m sorry you just missed her.
Adam: Oh man typical, she probably went down to meet me. Mind if I wait at her desk?
Desk guy: No problem.

Game 1

I sit at the desk and open a random hot babe next to me.

Adam: Hi there, are you one of those girls completely into her work or are you someone who would love an excuse to not do something for a while?
HB: Haha, yeah I’m staring at the internet until I can go.
Adam: Awesome I’m waiting for Kiara and she’s taking forever.

We talk about life, about coffee shops, and other random stuff. I won’t bore you with the details as this is all basic game you can read anywhere. After 5 minutes I have her number and a potential date at a coffee shop.

Game 2

However, this was NOT the challenge. The challenge was to get the HOTTEST girl in the room. I could see her from where I sat. A very stunning brunette busy at the desk obviously trying to prove to the world she is more than just a pretty face. I’m sure she is too.

So I ask the girl I’m talking to what all the other desks do.

I find out that the super-hot chick is working on the desk that supplies sales for an international magazine. So I ask:

Adam: So if I had a friend that wanted to advertise in an international magazine I would need to talk to…?
HB: Paula, just over there.
Adam: Any chance of a introduction?
HB: No problem. Hi Paula, this is Adam…

From this point on we have a quick chat, but I’m aware time is of the essence so I go for broke.

Adam: Hey Paula, I have to make a move soon, but I’d really like to talk further about this and life and whatever so how about you and me do a work lunch, we get your office to pay for it, and we see what we can come up with together?
HB Paula: Sure thing, next Wednesday 1pm any good for you?
Adam: Done.

At that moment Kiara walks in. I stand up and leave the office with the biggest grin on my face, not before looking to Kiara and saying:

Adam: Thank you so very much for absolutely everything, I wish you well missy.

In summary:

Find a good reason to be there, wherever you are.
Social Proof works EVERYWHERE.
Get the day 2 under whatever means you have to, then run game in a more comfortable environment.
