Okay so this is for my single friends. A coworker and I figured out that there is more to approaching someone of the opposite sex than just thinking they are hot.
Like first, know your number. On a scale from 1 to 10 how are you in the looks department? Its unlikely you are a ten so stop approaching tens! Also do the same for your personality 1 - 10. If you are an 8 in looks but you feel like the way others react to you means your personality needs work, then dont approach an 8 either. Try maybe approaching a six. Average out your two numbers and i promise there are plenty of options out there for you. But its up to YOU to actually say something. Say anything. Compliments are a great place to start. I hope this leads to some much more successful dates. Have fun!

I support absolute over-reaching.
ReplyDeleteIt's the over-reaching that has left these types single. I think they need a new game plan.
ReplyDeleteAlso bars are stupid places for dates, what about coffee or ice cream? Just sayin...
yeah, bars are stupid. Everyone who goes to bars to pick people up have the same problems...a recipe for disaster.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not single anymore. Overreaching and deluded thinking did me good, so, I'm biased.
Any tips on how to overreach more successfully? Could it have been your personality was a 10? What is your and your wife's averaged numbers? I think im really on to something with my new rating scales concept :)
ReplyDeleteI think it might be useful to add some fluidity to your system. Like, on some days you may be a 9 or 10, or some days you may be a 7, depending on how you're feeling. Or maybe you're a 10 in one context, but a six in another. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I can offer any tips for successful overreaching. I think for me it boils down to poor impulse control. When an idea pops into my head, it's almost inevitable that I will at least attempt to implement it. This poor impulse control has lead to me going back to college, asking my wife to marry me, having two kids, and becoming involved with innumerable different projects. That's the up side. The down side is that I'm overweight, prone to picking up new addictions, and likely to make the occasional odd or off-color remark.
My bottom line is that I hate regret. The ghost of missed opportunities is not a companion I like to keep.
Oh, and of course my wife and I are both tens.
Im all for overreaching, but it seems like some people have tried that for too long now and need a new strategy. Its all about numbers and I'm not sure if these guys realize it. You wanna expose yourself to many dates a week. Waiting for the most perfect person in the world to not only stop by but to aggressively pursue you is a fantasy. So if you are in your late 20's and single try a new strategy, it cant hurt!
ReplyDeleteI agree. A reconsideration of tactics is never a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteDid you retire already?
