Learning how to approach women is an amazing asset. I love seeing guys

on a boot camp become confident in approaching women they were

frightened of only a few hours ago. But there’s a recurring problem I

notice when guys get into this game. Single-mindedness, or more

accurately, pickiness. High standards are great, but limiting your

social interactions to approaching women you consider are 9 or 10s

won’t build your success quickly.

What’s important to learn is the concept of “flow”. You know the best

way to get in this state? Get chatty! With who? EVERYONE. If you want

to become a fun, sociable and ultimately attractive guy, you need to

learn to exercise your social muscles at every opportunity. Ask the

barman how his night is. Don’t feel the need to be constantly

validated by all the beautiful women you’re talking to. If a couple of

guys at the bar look friendly, have a chat. The point is: MEET PEOPLE.

Don’t do what most guys do, which is to simultaneously get on their

high horse about people they’re not into and shake in their

winklepickers over people they are into. Don’t be so discriminatory

about who you’re talking to. If there’s a friendly group of girls and

you’re not attracted to a single one of them, who cares? Not only

that, but you’ll find if you’re just in a club bouncing from group to

group, making people laugh and having a good time. You’ll get into

this STATE OF FLOW. It’s a great way to drop your inhibitions, loosen

up, and get you more comfortable in the environment you’re in. It’s

like when you first arrive at a party. When you take that first step

into a sea of guests you can feel yourself tense up a bit, but as you

work your way through the groups and know who everyone is, suddenly

you relax and enjoy yourself.

Honestly, the guys I know who go out, have the best nights, and end up

ultimately with successful love lives; they don’t spend the entire

night schmoozing beautiful women. The guys who are at the top of

everyone’s phonebook in planning a party are the ones who are fun and

playful and are interested in people. They’re the guys who people want

to introduce their friends to, because they can charm men and women

alike and make people want to get to know them better.

If you want to own a room, and draw people you’re into to you, work

the WHOLE room. Be flexible, and don’t take the issue of who you talk

to so seriously. You’re everyone’s favourite choice to be around!

Speak soon my friends!

    Also just because a girl isn’t physically attractive- I don’t think that’s any reason to immediately dismiss her. If I see a group of girls having a great time, even if they aren’t all that beautiful, then I’d make an effort to chat to them because they look like they know how to enjoy themselves and because its always a pleasure to make a new friend.
