If you don't travel much, and you want to meet and approach women, you'll inevitably have a certain fear:  if you approach a girl and it doesn't go well, you'll be known as that "weird" or "creepy" guy. You have to ignore the instinct to indulge these sort of thoughts. I remember being called creepy by a group of girls who thoughtlessly shrugged off the kind of courage it required simply to approach them.  It basically ruined my night, and I thought I'd never overcome the fear of approaching women in my home turf because people might start recognizing me as the "creepy guy." From one man to another:  you have to accept that some people won't think you're great and charming.  You have to accept that some people might think you're weird and creepy.  As long as your social behavior is relatively normal and you know you're not weird or creepy, that has to be enough. You won't get far if you can't even approach women.  Ignore that voice in your head that says "no - you have a reputation to protect!"  Life is too short. Ignore questions that don't serve the interaction. Cool guys interrupt people, neglect to answer questions, and generally behave how they like.  Why?  Because they know they're of high value, and they don't have to follow every little thread of conversation that a woman puts out there. It's okay to ignore a question if it's not serving the interaction - in fact, by interrupting her or even outright ignoring the question, you show that you're a confident guy who's not afraid to be a little unpredictable. Here's a good trick:  the next time you hear a question that bores you, answer it with another question.  If she asks you where you live and you're sick of saying "a few blocks from here," say instead "Hey - what are you doing later?"  You're a guy who gets to the point and makes his own threads of conversation. Ignore the "haters." Going out and actively approaching women is more art than science, and sometimes life is a little messier than most dating articles would have you believe.  Sometimes you accidentally approach a girl who's with her boyfriend, and suddenly you find yourself interacting with "haters" - guys who, out of insecurity, feel they have to put you down. Solution?  Don't even try to come back with anything witty.  Ignore them. If they're doing all they can to get a reaction out of you, yet you don't react, what does that say about them?  You're dusting them off like a celebrity dusts off photographers. ]]> Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:37:24 -0500
