The Art of Approaching

(Rick Simeone) #1

USE WHAT YOU HAVE – YOUR OWN PERSONAL ATTRACTION MECHANISM


Not too long ago, I met up with a good friend of mine who is married to go grab some
dinner and catch a movie. We tend to do this a couple times a month because though he
loves his wife, he realizes his whole world can’t healthily revolve around her.


In short: He’s got to have friends outside of the house in which he lives.


So occasionally, my buddy will “double date’ (so to speak) by getting more than one
friend of his to go out with him so he can catch up with more people in the same amount
of time.


(Hey, no one ever accused my buddy of not being able to multi-task!)


So on this particular night, my friend came over with another friend of his. His friend
was a rail-thin man in his late thirties named Marty. Marty is a stand-up comedian who
travels around the world performing for audiences.


When he met me, his eyes were like saucers – big, round and white. He eagerly shook
my hand after I was introduced.


“So you’re the pick-up guy, huh? I got a lot I want to talk to you about!”


I smiled and nodded. I tend to get this a lot. My friends don’t introduce me as “Joe” or
“My buddy.” They tend to refer to me as “The pick-up guy,” because of what I teach.


I don’t usually like labels like this, because what I teach is so much more than just pick-
up, but what’s a guy gonna do?


So we head off to the restaurant and Marty starts talking to me about his experiences with
women, and I start sharing my experiences as well. As things turn out, Marty and I are
quite similar in our tastes and styles, and because Marty is a stand-up comedian by trade,
he’s a very fun and engaging guy.


But like all men, he was struggling with women.


So I asked him: “Why is it you feel you’re having trouble?”
