A low success rate: All we need in Dating as well.

I think this essay is phenomenal:

Before you finish reading it, you'll make the connection to Dating. But he makes the connection.

We don't need very high success rates as DJ's. Even if you fail most of the time, you could still be doing better than 99 percent.

Good post. Thanks. You think you could remind me of this every week?

I sent out dozens of emails and got only one reply.

I always find these sort of statements interesting because every time I have been on a dating site, I have never seen dozens of women I'd even want to email.

Where is this magic land of hotties who all online date?

his emails had nothing to do with online dating.

You may want to read the whole thing.

I agree with this.

Nice find.

I used to know this guy that was absolutely phenomenal at game. I didn't know it back then, but he was using anti-dump's techniques to the letter (Coincidentally, this was quite a while ago).

Was always filling the sales funnel, so to speak. He had qualifying down to a science, and was always banging at least two girls at any given time.

He said his inspiration was this book:

High Probability Selling

Which basically teaches you, in sales, to become as efficient as possible when sorting through your "leads" so you can identify the "high probability" leads.

Identify, proposition, and qualify.

Based on a model that out of 100 "leads" you'll get one or two really good ones.

(If you've ever had a job cold calling, they're always trying to reframe getting "rejected" into looking for that golden customer that will make you big cash)

My friend had taken this same model and applied it to dating. Sorting through as many women as possible, as casually as possible, as effectively as possible, qualifying the winners, and then slipping them right into his "sales funnel."

Beautiful stuff.
