Category Archives: Other Stuff that doesn’t conveniently fit in the other categories

Sometimes I write stuff that is, well, stuff. It doesn’t exactly fit in any of my other finely crafted and tuned categories. All that stuff is here. Don’t think that just because it is a bit random that it isn’t good stuff. Because it is.

Some Interesting New Facts

According to a list of 50 Things We Know Now (That We Didn’t Know This Time Last Year), “middle-aged and elderly men tend to be more satisfied with their sex lives than women in the same age group” (Number 28).  For all you cougar hunters out there, go make women happy.

Also, “30 minutes of continuous kissing can diminish the body’s allergic reaction to pollen, relaxing the body and reducing production of histamine, a chemical cell given out in response to allergens” (number 32).  Now, men, go kiss your women!

The Futility of Field Reports

3 Replies

I have a couple of dates this week, and I was thinking about writing field reports about how I met these girls, and I realized that I didn’t have much to write.

For the one I am meeting tonight, the field report would look like this:

“There was a girl outside of the Fort Mason building where the AoR workshop was last weekend, so I started talking to her. We were hanging out for the next few hours, then I suggested a date and she gave me her contact info.”

For the one I am meeting on Friday, the field report would look like this:

“I was out with a bunch of friends for a pub crawl, and towards the end of the night I started talking to this one girl I hadn’t talked to yet, and she was cool, then I set up a date and got her number.”

The point here is that I don’t remember what I said, or what techniques I used, it just kind of flowed. This is the way it should be, and the way it is when all the things we teach in Art of Attraction and Art of Rapport become real behaviors, rather than just specific tactics.

I was reading about my astrological sign (Gemini), and it had a list of problems that Geminians will face: 

PROBLEM: You may have the problem of not being able to keep a spouse or a lover due to your pursuit of the opposite sex.
SOLUTION: Cultivate the habit of not flirting with every attractive person you see

>Maybe the planets are trying to tell me to stop the Girl of the Day challenge!

GotD Day 3: earphones

I thought this was gonna be a bad day… but then it wasn’t!

I saw my girl of the day over lunch.  She was walking down the street.  I caught up to her after a block, “excuse me…” she kind of jumped, but took off her earphones, I told her, “I didn’t mean to scare you.  I know this is random, but I have to tell you that you are really cute..”

She lights up, says thank you.  I told her that I have a rule that I have to tell the cutest girl I see each day that.  She thanks me again, and then she got going.

Today is a YES. 67%.

GotD Day 2: NO :(

Man, this day was just a lousy day.  I was stressed with work, didn’t really leave the office, then went home, had a couple beers and relaxed.  

I think the hottest girl was in A.G. Farrari foods.  She was leaving as I was checking out.  She wasn’t hot in the traditional sense, she was cute and she had an alternative look.  I kind of psyched myself out, thinking she wasn’t the hottest I would see, but then nothing else really appeared that day.  Lesson – DO NOT THINK AND DO NOT HESITATE.  IF I SEE A CUTE GIRL, GO FLIRT.

I am NOT losing this competition.  I am at 1 for 2, 50%.

GotD Day 1: YES

My first girl of the day was at lunch. I saw a girl earlier during my coffee break, but missed her because she was walking into a building down the street. Damn. So I was out on my lunch break with a buddy. He knew about the challenge, so he knew I might go running off at any time. We were walking to the Metreon, and there was a guy and a girl sitting on a bench. And the girl was tall and blonde and super cute. I walked by, then looked at my buddy. “That might be her… yeah, I think that’s her”. I walked back, interrupted, told her she was really cute, and I’m sorry to intrude, and wished them both a great lunch. They were both really happy.

So I was relaxing, eating my lunch.

And then she walked out of the next restaurant over. Continue reading →

Lunch Mission: You Are Really Cute

Leave a reply

I have a new mission.  It is to get good at meeting women around the financial district during my lunch break, and being able to set up a date/day2 with them.  I have had a lot of strange thoughts about flirting with girls around work that kept me from doing it in the past.  I don’t like how I am dressed, I am in work mode, etc.  That is about to change.

I started today.  Walked to Jamba Juice and got a nice juice.  Walked around Justin Herman Plaza.  Then I saw the blonde hair.  And the great figure.  And, oh, crap, she had a really cute face.  I was gonna approach, then got nervous.  Yes, I still get nervous sometimes when I am about to approach a woman.  Ok.  I collect myself and think it through.  If I DON’T go talk to this girl, I will NOT forgive myself.  If I DO go talk to her, even if it goes badly, I will be happy about it.

So like I tell my students to do all the time, I started walking, and I just didn’t let myself stop.  Continue reading →
