"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

and streets. Keep in mind that these were not prostitutes. Also, I did not just walk up to them and say "hey I'll give you $500 if you bang me." I was more careful by saying things like "have you seen the movie Indecent proposal...well, what if I was to offer money" etc etc Anyway, since these girls were not prostitutes, I wanted to set an amount high enough to keep them interested, but realistic at the same time. So I offered $500. I tried the approach on 50 girls over the past 2 months. The results were: about 25 of them said something to the effect of "get lost, you must be really desperate, etc etc". About 23 of them just ignored me and walked away. 2 girls accepted the offer. Although, they accepted the offer, I did not go through with it. There you have it, my random experiment.

I've known people to play pranks like this.

Just a word of warning. Do this in certain places and you might get arrested for soliciting a prostitute. Even though it's only a joke to you, try explaining that to the police.

remember fellas... women are attracted to money and power much more than guys...

Ha, lol...

2 outta 50... yea, I can believe it...

But you do get much betta success just chattin with women and closin them before gettin back to them later in the week... I read somewhere they reckon that's like 2 in 10

So if you're prepared to do without the instant **** then put your money away, lol...
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Point well stated AC, and I heartily commend you for it.

One other interesting insight into this type of an experiment. Jay Leno told one of his staffers once to just randomly hand people a hundred dollar bill, for absolutely no reason other than to see how long a certain ammount of money would last and video tape the results. I think it was 500 dollars.

It took the staffer literally hours. He didn't say anything other than 'here', and put the hundred dollar bill into the person's hand. I learned a lot about this when I was a door-to-door salesman oh so long ago and was assigned to hand out free stuff to everyone I saw in order to support a client. Even when I was trying to give people coupons for free burgers and other items they were going to consume anyway, the didn't know me and didn't trust the fact that I came to their door to give it to them.

On the other hand when you're in a comfortable atmosphere devoted to a specific end, (bars or libraries for instance) a few other factors apply. Even if they don't know you, you both already have some commonality in your reason for being there. Then, the simple fact that you're meeting through an institutionary setting lends a certain degree of comfort tends to take some of the caution out of meeting strangers. I see a lot of this working in a library, and being spoken to in ways that most people would never speak to a stranger. (Whether arguing over a fine, or asking for help finding or carrying a lot of books)

This disparity might explain the outcome of your experiment. Next time you try one, try to factor in the unseen aspects of human behavior, and you might find your results will vary greatly.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if one went door-to-door to try to pickup. If you pretended to be selling something and threw in a little flirting I wonder what would happen.

What? You never heard of the Fuller Bush -- I mean Fuller Brush salesmen?

The door to door salesman was famous for getting tail back in the mid 50's up to the mid 70's.

$500! Geez man, give me that money and I'll bang you. $500 could pay off my first year college fee.
