Most of what I'm seeing online here is about pursuing women. What about the other approach -- letting them pursue you?
In my case, I have a lot of talents, but women ain't one of them. So, I am thinking that I should analyze the marginal return of investing in DJ skills -- vs. the return of investing further in my talents.
B/c when I look in the past, I see I got way more play than today and that was the Big Fish/Small Pond syndrome. Now, I'm like a minnow in the ocean. You can teach a minnow to swim like hell, it's still a minnow.
Specifically, there is a real time commitment to DJ stuff, I'm finding out, and that committment will generate puzzy. But the same time committment might generate you success in another venue -- which will also generate you puzzy. And the rate of return may be low on the DJ stuff, if you are starting late, and high on the other stuff, where you are already great.
So, for example, the dorky guy who sticks it out in med school ends up being a surgeon -- and pulling hot tail. He's still AFC -- but he's a surgeon AFC, so it doesn't matter. If he spent all the time sarging, he'd be a DJ -- but maybe not a doctor. You see what I'm getting at? All the DJ skills in the world won't stand up to a rich doctor in a woman's mind.
I started thinking about this b/c in business, esp. small ones, a little PR is way more cost-effective than a lot of cold-calling. I wonder if anyone else has looked at it this way...
