I sat up. “But Carl, buddy, what if that girl over there is the right one for you? What if
she’s the future Mrs. Carl, and fate has brought the two of you together right here, right
now, for the specific purpose of the two of you meeting? And all you need to do is ask
her for that sunscreen?”
Carl blinked at me for a moment, then turned to the girl by the pool, then back to me.
“Wha – what?” he stumbled.
“See, all pick-up is, is an opportunity to meet a woman. When we let opportunities pass
us by, we are letting one more woman slip through our fingers because we did not act.
And the more opportunities we pass up, the less likely we are to find the right girl for us.
When you list out all the stuff you think you have to do before you’re ready to start
applying your knowledge, what you’re really doing is listing excuses that keep you from
getting the girl you want.
Could you stand to lose a few extra pounds? Maybe. But should that keep you from
doing what you want to do? I should hope not. What if you had to hold your breath until
you lost those ten pounds?”
“I wouldn’t be able to do that,” said Carl.
“Why not?”
“Because it takes a long time to lose ten pounds, and you can only hold your breath for a
few minutes.”
“But I thought losing those ten pounds was important.”
“For getting laid, not for breathing,” said Carl.
“But doesn’t having extra weight affect your respiratory system?” I asked. “If that’s the
case, it’s even MORE important you hold your breath until you lose those ten extra
pounds, so you don’t tax your lungs any more than they have to be.”
“Now you’re just being foolish,” smiled Carl.
“No more foolish than you when you said you have to lose ten pounds before you can
talk to a woman,” I said. “See, what’s really going on here is that you’re afraid. You’re
afraid to go talk to that girl because it’s something you’ve never done before. If this was
a bar, it would be easier for you because you’re used to approaching women in bars. But
even then, you’d want to put it off because there are things you feel you have to do before
a woman will find you attractive.
