Failure is the tuition you pay for success.
-Walter Brunell
One of the big issues people have is shouldering social pressure.
The social pressure that comes with approaching, the social pressure that comes with asking personal questions, the social pressure that comes with escalating and closing, and the social pressure that comes with expressing ones self in a way that is different from everyone else.
But this pressure does not really come from society. It comes from within us.
It comes from the fear that we’re not the biggest pimp ever, the fear that we’re no better than the people we laugh at, the people we mock, the people we look down upon. It comes from our ego.
From the desire to protect a false ideology about how special we are. We in the industry are not entirely without fault either. What do we tell people?
Get any girl!
Get ALL the girls!
Real PUAs get 10 out of 10!
Real MEN don’t get rejected!
If you get rejected it’s cause you’re not GOOD enough yet!
Bullshit.
I have students all the time afraid to approach because on an emotional level they view every interaction as a referendum on their stature as a man. But you know what? Real men fail.
The most successful people in the world are the people with the courage and resolve to fail more than anyone else. And they keep failing, for the whole of their lives.
Michael Jordan won six NBA championships, and missed 12,345 shots in the NBA. He lost 26 games at the buzzer, by missing the shot that would have won his team the game.
Barry Bonds hit more home runs than anyone in baseball, he struck out 1539 times.
Thomas Edison famously figured out 999 ways not to make a lightbulb.
To be great at anything you must become a master of failure. Once you are, you keep right on failing, you just stop noticing. With girls, it’s exactly the same. Guys want to get 90 or 95 or 99 or 100 percent of the girls they open. Yeah, right. That sort of expectation is just going to make your anxiety worse.
Instead, start shooting for five percent.
Now some of you my read that and think, “what! I can do better than that now!”
Well, are you with a new hot girl every night?
No?
Then if you can or can’t do better than five percent is irrelevant, cause you’re not going out and trying.
At any decent venue there will be twenty hot girls that come through between ten and two. Hit on them ALL. Get yourself to five percent. Once you’re hitting around there, everything will change. You’ll literally be able to go out any day of the week and bring a hot girl home. The more girls you’re with, the less you’ll care about the outcome with any individual girl, and the more all the girls will start to want you.
Now here’s a tasty tidbit for all you romantics out there. You will be able to get 100 percent of a certain kind of girl. And that’s any girl who’s already a part of your life who sees you swamped with hotties. Girls want what other girls want. So if there’s “one special girl” you’ve got your eye on, the fastest way to guarantee getting her is to go out and fail till you get yourself to five percent.
Now go get rejected by 19 girls!
Till next time guys,
If you don’t know what to say, just say something.
Love ya!
