"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.

So I was thinking about all the opinion openers, and none of them really suit me, so I came up with this. It is not field tested, I am just asking for your thoughts on whether its worth a try:

blah blah need quick opinion.... How would you guys describe a 'real man'?


I think this is worth a shot because:

-Girls dream about prince charming, but the really 'together' chicks likely have a very mature, put together idea of who he is
-Pre-screens for all kinds of psychos/gold diggers
-Lots of opportunity to bust on them about various things depending on responses
-easy to lead into a ton of other topics or routines
-something that men and women should care about
-feedback on how to improve yourself
-opens them up to compliment you
- ...
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

- Wierd to ask complete strangers about what a real man is... thats my opinion... but go ahead and try it if you feel you are sitting on something.

Yea thats the kind of feedback I want.... any reasons people think this may not work, and something I could add to make it seem less weird.

I figured it would work best if approaching a larger set, say in a bar or something.

Maybe tell a story first, like "hey me and my buddies over there were just talking about what a real man is... I said its Arnold Schwartzanegger because he is as strong as ****, otherfriend said its brad pitt, because he can get all the ladies, another guy said Bill Gates, because he is rich and successful.... What do you guys think a 'real man' is?"

The city that sleeps. Sometimes.
seems like too fast too soon.

its a great question to ask a little LATER in the conversation.. It seems that if you just come up to a chick asking that, most of the time the girl would be like "what the ****???"

i'd use that line in a later stage as a conversation opener that will lead through emotion talking/fantasy talking...
then to patterns ;)
